| Yahashi's batters! Some from training at Todoroki. Sanada lacking endurance as his form takes a heavy toll on his left leg. Kawakami allowed a few hits, really nice to see some offence from Yahashi. Sawamura changed a little. Can't wait to see him use his new learned experience at his next match. Tanba coming in at the turning point! No better spot for an Ace to return! With Yahashi catching up, can Tanba stop them! :P |
 |
| Wah, this game is really intense. New ED too! It's nice :-) Haruichi is adorable in that cardigan. |
 |
| I kind of find the ED cheesy. XD Tanba is finally going to play! I wonder how it'll affect Kawakami, but I'm sure he'll understand. |
| Yep! This game is truly intense and now the ace makes his first appearance! I can't wait for next week! Also I like the new ending but I agree it is kinda cheesy. |
| My signature is lame... |
| Loving the buildup to the clash of the titans! Ace vs Ace, who will prevail? Somehow I keep getting goosebumps after each episode because of the build up in intensity xD Really great episode. |
| I'll make Raizou's words mine; this is intense! The OST is amazing as always and right spot on, making the game even more intense. And yay, new ED! Cheesy or not, I loved it. Couldn't help not singing along haha |

| Ace vs Ace next episode! Definitely gonna be intense! Sawamura trying to switch gears and detach himself from his mental negatively was great, it helped mend my broken heart from the last episode :') And the new ED? über cute yo - first string first years ftw |
| The anime is getting boring for me :(. Maybe because I am not marathoning it or something... it's taking too long. |
 |
| Battle of the aces next ep xD |
 |
| TANBA. YEAHHHHHHH. That was exciting! And the scramble and close calls were fabulous. New ED is cute! Love Haruichii and playing with the hose? XD Haven't seen them in street clothes in who knows how long... stylish Eijun is just wrong. And it's the 3 VAs singing, I started laughing when it started because it was Eijun's voice, but I think the 3 of them blend greatly. :D |
| Hell yea, that was a great way to put Tanba into the game. this is so exciting. |
| Damn things are getting heated up cmon Tanba san show us wha you got, it's findely your time to shine! |
 |
| WOWOW. This is getting better and better, Ace vs Ace is gonna be awesome. |
 |
| Am I the only one here that dislikes Tanba? |
| Raichi trying to distract Kawakami was kinda funny lol He looked like a dog ^^" |
| Tanba bout to shut it down! I liked that Eijun picked himself back up and started being positive. Love his character for that! Good episode!! |

The suspense is just too much for me; if I keep waiting every week for a new episode, my heart is gonna give out. I think I'm going to stop watching for now and wait till they finish up the season to resume. Nice to see the aggressive side of Kawakami! And the ED is definitely cute. Was a bit weird when I saw that Eijun's VA was singing in it as well. XD But, it was still pretty good. (I'm 99% sure there will be a season 2, but if there isn't, tables will be flipped!!) |
| Love the new ED. Great visuals and the song is fantastic too!!! I just wish Miyuki sung as well x) Good episode. Cliffhanger! marian11 said: Am I the only one here that dislikes Tanba? Your'e not. I think he's a rather bland character compared to everyone else. |
| That episode was epic! I don't watch baseball or anything, yet I'm able to understand the intensity. Tanba comes in and adds to the tension. Excited for next week. The new ED is awesome. Nice song & nice visuals. |
 |
| That entrance. Tanba, win this. New ED is alright |
 |
| The duel of aces |

I think I'm going to stop watching for now and wait till they finish up the season to resume. LOL, that bad huh? XD Although I'm around chapter 300 in the manga, watching the anime is still so fun and exciting, each week my love for DnA is revived! Daamn this episode was intense. Watch out Yakushi, Tanba is up on the mound! I love how in this episode, Eijun does learn from this experience, and tried to pump up Nori back into gear, because he "was the one who started all this negativity." Eijun's always growing ;_; I like Sanada too, he's a likable character. I always like seeing some of the opponent's background and learn what they're all about (Shunshin, Raichi, Sanada, Tanba's friend from junior high, etc). Ahhh the ED was so awesome! Ohsaka Ryota, Zakki, and Hanae Natsuki's voices mashes well together, I love the song! Out of all the EDs, this one is my favorite. I especially liked the part where you see Seidou team's backs and then we see them from the front behind the wire fence ^^ |
| Mi-shi-ma!!! LOL :) Finally the game is ending, with Tanba coming onto the pitch, the battle of the two aces begin. On another note, no matter what the pitcher may throw Tetsu will stand strong (like iron). :P |
 |
| Great battle in this episode, haha two times I thought the referee was blind, these runs weren't "Save!" in my opinion . As much as I dislike Tanba for being unsocial and never talking with the 10th Grade players , I'm happy that he enters the game to help his teammates, hopefully :D |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I like the new ED. yeah. This one is better to watch with a few ep together. |
| Wow, new ending is tops! Took a break from this anime 'cause the drawn out pacing and bland direction was pissing me off. Experimenting with a start-stop schedule and the occasional marathon catch-up. Hope Daiya will be a more pleasant experience now. ♡ |
 |
| The padding is starting to get on my nerves. We already have a 2 minute recap at the start of each episode and now there's an increase in flashbacks and those scenes where they're giving words of encouragement to someone. It's basically doing the same thing One Piece does except that's a 700+ episode series that's right behind the manga and this anime is (was) only up to episode 38 with plenty of chapters still left to adapt. |
 |
| Tanba-senpai !!! |
| I thought episode 37 was one of the best in-game episodes, and was hoping for 38 to continue the steam. Although it ended up being meh. |
| Seeing Eijun's eyebags just makes me sad, please, someone erase them lmao. I have the sinking feeling that Seidou might lose... I can't get over how good looking Sanada is. God... He's like... The most handsomest player I've seen so far. He needs to stop. Oh! Oh! Is it Tanba? It's TAAAAAAANBA! Let's go, let's go, let's fighting love, TANBA! |
| Tanba returned to the field in the worst time!!! He is the "ace" of the team, but it will be complicated!!! |
| Kawakami looked liked a mess in this episode. Tanba to the rescue! |
 |
| Intense game so far and pretty hype seeing Tanba at the end finally going on the mound to show why he's the ace |
 |
| Eijun is learning from other pitchers!! The parents reported him lmao??? I mean no wonder since it would look suspicious if they’re doing all that under a bridge lmao |
