That was exciting especially the second half.

I liked how they highlighted a lot of Eijun's pitches to show his improvement. Solid episode though from start to finish with another last match to cap the episode. Impressive Eijun~

Haha, what a stupid cliffhanger. The preview for the next episode pretty much completely spoils the result. All it serves to do is throw away all the dramatic tension it's been building up for the last 10 minutes.

After the cliffhanger, it will be funny if Sawamura hits the batter again.

Really liking just how much trust the team has on Sawamura, especially from Miyuki and Coach Kataoka.

When Sawamura was batting, it was like he became a 2nd Kuramochi.

Diamond no Ace has always been like that. Even last season, they were spoiling everything in the preview.

Eijun was awesome at the end when he wanted to throw his inside pitch.

Hopefully this season of ace of diamond will be full of eijun moments like these.

This show is the most ridiculous sports anime when it comes to just shots of players saying the same things over and over in slow mo instead of them just playing the shot. Like, we get it. They want him to pitch inside. You don't have to show us every damn member of the team saying so in 5 different ways just to drag out the match.

Maezono giving off that mixed signals to Haruichi for being the cleanup lol. But it's okay, it worked much better this way, since I think it helps Maezono feel less pressured to do well. Amazing how well their new lineup is working, I mean 5 runs in the first inning?

Also lol when Eijun said that it was good that Haruichi followed his advice. Hmm what advice was that? :P

Liked seeing more interaction between Mei and Itsuki, interesting to see that Mei wasn't the starting pitcher for once.

Best part of the episode though has to be the moment when Eijun rejected Miyuki's signal. It was pretty surprising, but I think Miyuki approves of that. But they ended the episode when the tension is the highest T_T one week of waiting...go Eijun!

Why did they do leave it at that?! Anyways, Sawamura has definitely recovered from the past. He just has to prove it by using his incourse pitch. Man, that was strong confidence for Sawamura to insist on the incourse pitch.

Great episode, this series is at its best when Sawamura is pitching. I hope he can recover. Ochiai has done nothing for the longest time.

Was that Honda's VA (Major) for the pitcher who played against Inashiro? Hahha.

And my gut feeling last week of Eijun struggling as a starting pitcher is somewhat coming true. But at least, he is not giving up and showing a lot of confidence and promise.

Btw, Narumiya is getting more and more cheeky now that the previous captain/catcher is not there anymore.

Sawamura pitched inside! His reaction..

How can you not love this guy xD

Kanemaru finally gets his start, and he hits his very first pitch :O And then he started crying LOL. Hard work pays off.

Sawamura sucks at batting, but you gotta love his reactions lmao.

Seems like another new OST when Sawamura is pitching. I like this one :)

That smile of excitement from Miyuki when Sawamura didn’t want to pitch outside. So hype :D Even with the cliffhanger, there’s no way he’s gonna mess this inside pitch up. It’s about time he gets his inside pitch back. I really want him to play a big part in the Inashiro game.

Lol yes it is! idk what's that character's name but i'm just gonna call him Honda. The most famous baseball anime protagonist voicing another pitcher and I just cant shake off the feeling its him haha. Inb4 he whips out a gyro-fastball.

In the manga, one of his comments was that he was about to cum. They really should've left that in.

Awesome episode again! I honestly thought they’ll be fodder for Seido but it seems like they might have some nice plays and the final push for Sawamura to get out of his yips. I can’t wait for next time and it seems that Inashiro might be having some trouble against the other team’s ace.

Casually throwing an inside pitch in the bullpen, Eijun sure knows how to surprise especially with that deadball to the first batter. Would be funny if next episode he'll deadball again.

Of course not. Gorou's and Shikamaru's VA's voice is sooo easy to recognise :)

For the guys that's been saying this episode's preview to next ep spoils all the builds-up for that cliffhanger, bro, why did you watch it? Just skip the preview. It's not that hard.

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start
