i actually think development is fine.

i dont mind the lack of action, prevents it from feeling too shonen-y.

I was seriously hoping they'd be married by the time he left for the majors, but I guess I was being to optimistic for a shounen anime.

Not bad, Shimizu is far more enjoyable to watch than her brother. But can we get back to Goro's story now?

Lol, Shimizu has no right to get mad. It's not as if they were ever dating :/

And what was with that weird dude she was set up with!? "I'll never leave your side." Haha was he proposing to her or something? Creepy.

I love me my Shimizu. And just an epic end to that episode with the kiss mark on Goro's forehead. They need to hook up ASAP.

For some reason I thought the guy inviting Shimizu was lying about the batter center, and tried to take advantage of Shimizu.
Anyhow, I'm sure Shimizu and Goro will end up together :)

Poor Goro, he isn't gonna see the thumping coming when he sees Shimizu again for the first time. But glad that she isn't moving on from Goro, since they have been kids, find that somehow really nice. Anyways funny episode.

Goro confirmed his goal : get more kissu mark! Goro, what a pimp!

Anyway, the episode was pretty sweet. Shimizu is so cute, with her baseball obscession, and her Goro obscession :3
It was also nice seeing Goro all worked up like that by seeing Gibson.

I feel like Gibson Jr is really resentful toward his dad probably because he neglected him after Honda death. He always seemed like a distant man, so I feel like Gibson Jr was trying to catch his attention while Gibson was still in shock from the incident. That's just my theory though.

Same, was ready for it. He turned out to be pretty creepy in the end though, saying he would stay by her side forever after they'd only been together for an hour or two..

What the hell is up with Gibson junior though, such a bad personality. You're going to smash your father's pitching? Good luck loser.

Shimizu's friends are all fools, they already know that she's in love with someone else.
Goro will have a lot of problems when he sees her if she remembers the kiss mark.

Wtf are these episodes.... they run out of plot developments this whole season or what. Would like to see more screen time for mc, nevertheless was a nice episode aside from that.

Shimizu has never stopped being cute. To think Gorou turned her into nearly as much of a softball nut as he is a baseball nut, though.

Aside from the staying with always comment, which was legit weird, I didn't think the guy asking Shimizu out on a date was too bad. I'm obviously glad she didn't go for it, though.

At this rate they won't get together until the last season or the epilogue OVAs, though.

What a tremendous filler episode! Kind of surprised the hate this season got from previous. I'm thoroughly enjoying this season.. a lot more than season 3, that's for sure :).

i actually thinks it's the best non-baseball episode so far, the mix of goro and shizumu was great, i would even say i waited for shimizu episode.
i'm grateful that shimizu ditched that guy, not only he isn't goro she loves but she actually told him she loves someone and her ideal and he just told her "what the hell wrong with you? be normal with me!" he really pissed me off..
and though the moment she saw goro on tv was pretty expected, i loled so much.
