Eijun and Haruichi in suits :o

But seriously, those are some awesome pitches. Hell, I see smoke coming from the catchers' gloves from where Furuya pitched. And to note, the coach acknowledges their skills. Training pays off~. But anyways, it was a recap. Still nice to see some of their highlight moments.

Was looking forward to this episode, but it turned out to just be basically a recap episode.

Recap episode but glad to reminisce those things, especially the buildup between Chris and Eijun.

About ~everyone who are complaining about this episode being a recap: not everyone in the world gets to archive anime so deal with it. It's about half a year since this show aired so ヽ( ̄ー ̄ )ノ

While I don't like recaps, I can see why they're made. Wouldn't you too, as a new viewer, want to know what happened in those first 27 episodes? It may not be detailed, but one's able to at least get a rough idea of what's going on.

Even so, I'm glad we're back to normal next week.

Yeah, it was kind of nice to see some of the good scenes again :) And wow, you're right, it's been half a year since the show started. I mean it should be obvious, but I didn't really think about it :D Recaps really aren't that bad when you're watching it as it airs. I only usually dislike them when I'm marathoning shows. GuiltyKing makes a great point too, it's a good way to introduce the anime to new viewers.

I was worried that the recap might carry over and that episode 29 would be one as well but watching the latter half of episode 28 confirms that the next episode will be going back to the main story.

That's fine but at least they should have waited until the game was done...

My anime highlight of the week and it's a freaking recap episode. Is that really needed for a 6 month old show, I still remember everything that happened. If it was in year 3 or something it would have made sense but this is just wrong. Hoping for a better episode next week.

What's the point of recapping to 'set the mood' for an intense moment when that intense moment isn't even in the same episode??!?

JFC we've waited so long for Sawamura to pitch and they pull this crap...
