I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I have to admit: I'm loosing my interest. We've spent whole episodes on Seishu blowing out their opponents with little tension, it's looking like Aoba is just going to sit on the sidelines, and nothing all that exciting is going to happen. Very anti-climactic, when I feel like things should be coming to a head by now. |

One would think they'd be ratcheting up the tension instead it just feels like coasting. |

When the episode ended, I was quite disappointed in an "oh, that's it?" sort of way. noteDhero said: I have to agree, there's been very little advancement over the last three episodes.

| Three games in one episode eh? I guess they're going to stretch out the Ryuuou game since it's the one that has been built up. |
| If it makes for a longer, more gut-wrenching final game, then I can appreciate this kind of episode. |
| 5 more? i guess it will have manga's end in the end..well let see about it |
 |
| I know the manga has just ended but how far are we now from the manga. Also for this episode, why so serious rush? |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| Nice nice nice.. There feelings are slowly building up. |
 |
| Rushed, so so animation (the preview looked even worse), but a nice character build-up. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Not bad of an episode. |

| The thing is, that this didn't really do anything to build the story, either. Everyone's in the same position that they've been in pretty much since Ayane got introduced, with relatively little movement. Slice of lifes half this long do more, and even though Touch did stall at the end, there was a tremendous amount of character development. There is none here. Aoba's still, by and large, a bitch who can't see anything remotely interesting about herself aside from her talents as a baseball player. Kou is still the all around good guy who won't totally recognize his feelings for Aoba, while hanging onto the image of Wakaba. Akaichi is still befuddling on the romantic front. Nakanishi is still fat. Et cetera, et cetera. Azuma and Momiji have had the most growth over the course of the show, and that's not saying much after 45 episodes. |

Am I a bitch? ;_; noteDhero said: Kou is still the all around good guy who won't totally recognize his feelings for Aoba, while hanging onto the image of Wakaba. The glances and stuff in this episode says the opposite, but maybe that's just me. |

Siva said: I know the manga has just ended but how far are we now from the manga. Also for this episode, why so serious rush? 26 chapters to go. And this episode wasn't rushed at all. It was 3 chapters... 144 chapters covered so far in 45 eps. Of those, the first 10 were summarised to 1 ep, and then, theres the replay of ep 1, and about 5 fillers... Thats on average 3.5 chapters per ep, so this was a slower pace than normal. I believe it will be the final game that will use up more chapters per ep (as it simply can get through it faster without being rushed), so the rest of the series should be at a fine pace. Meddigo said: Yes, thats about 17 chapters in the manga.Three games in one episode eh? I guess they're going to stretch out the Ryuuou game since it's the one that has been built up. |

| Yeah I don't really feel it's all that rushed....I mean, do we really need to drag out every single game? Anyways I enjoyed the episode. I hope Akane will be alright. |
| Um. It was a good episode. But the match was just. Bleh. I was disappointed. I hope it's made up for with a really fantastic final match against Ryuou. After seeing other commenters pointing it out... Yeah. Kou and Aoba's relationship hasn't really developed much - especially not in these past few episodes. I don't know. I feel like I have no clue what I'm expecting from this series, but I'm expecting something great, and it hasn't lived up to whatever expectation I have - yet. DX And geez, what floor is Akane's hospital room on? Unless that final shot was filming from an angle looking up from the ground, she shouldn't be able to see only the sky when looking out the window... and I'm pretty sure it was a straight-on shot. So she's on, what, the 40th floor or something? ._.' It's probably just me. That seemed off though. |
| I sense bad things coming. =/ |
 |
| Way to go! Seshiuu pulls another victory :> |
 |
| Let's go Seishu! They better go all the way or it'd be bad for Yuuhei's brother XD! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Akaishi... He failed that pass hard. Something seem to be happening with Akane... She look really weak. Somehow, it remind me of Clannad :P Already the semi-final? It's going fast. Also, that 156km/h... :D He's getting closer, real close... I guess he'll top a 159km/h at the Koshien xD |
| ยซTime is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.ยป - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| 3 games in one, well finally there was some baseball. But yeah I thought some miracle would happen and Aoba would play, guess not. She still doesn't give Kou any credit even with the borderline 160 km pitches...it's always his fault and that's why she's a bitch. |
 |
| 1 more episode after this until the climax. Exciting but scary. |
 |
| i recently watch shigatsu wa kimi no uso. |
| Is it just me, or did Aoba look more feminine than usual during her run? Akane repeating what Wakaba said about Kou word for word must have made quite an impression on Aoba. Certainly Akane's condition isn't something we should be concerned about, right? |
| Akane's illness is complicating everything. |
 |
| They really rushed those matches, the Ryuuou match better be a good one then! Really hope Akane's situation doesn't turn for the worst, because that would be incredibely devastating to Akaishi, Kou and Tsushima family. |
 |
| Aoba found a four-leaf clover... that was nice little scene. Damn they really speedrunning this tournament. The opposing teams aren't interesting so I can't really blame the author. Ko is casually reaching the 160km/h mark, almost. Hope he breaks it before the last episode! Aoba's reaction gonna be precious. Akane-chan has been hospitalized. Akaishi is performing worse because of it while Ko is performing even better in the games. They're really different. |

| Not an Akane fan anymore. Sickly anime girls aren't cute. Ko x Aoba for the win |
