Ace of the Diamond
| Lol Furuya is far from perfect. Yes, he could pitch well if he is in a good condition, but he is easily swayed and not quite optimistic. Once the opponent throws him off his game, it's not easy for him to get back to his best condition, and most probably will never be substitute back in the same game again. In the first season, he also lack a variety of pitch, which means that he has to be dependent on the catcher's lead to score. I would agree his personality is rather bland tho. If you don't mind spoiler, near the end of the first season, the seniors will retire and the first/second years will replace them. The protagonist goes through the same crisis for some time, and Furuya takes the lead in the mean time. He is indeed currently the ace of the team at the beginning of second season. I have heard that Sawamura will soon shine brilliantly tho, once he recovered from his yips, so look forward to that. |

| We'll there are always cliche in sports anime. But past that, the matches here are just smart and engaging. At the very least this series isn't exaggerated, it's more realistic. As for Furuya, I personally like him (though I don't know how he's the most perfect character) it's nothing new that a lot hate his character in general. He obviously isn't perfect but he knows what he lacks. However, besides the Furuya issue, I recommend you to continue watching. It's a great series. :) |

| i dont know why people hate Furuya.. he is the antagonist of the story.. A certain someone that Eijun need to beat in order to become an Ace.. Ofc, he need to be more skilled than eijun. and i dont know why you called him a perfect person.. He is pretty weak.. Make him play in consecutive game,and he probably break.. He realize this, and he also know how strong Eijun is.. And Eijun too realize that Furuya is a better pitcher than him, and the current ace of the team. if your problem is Furuya, then keep watching S2. Eijun grows a lot in this season. Even the crowd/supporter starts to praise him. |
| I'm not a big fan of Furuya either and I do get annoyed with all the hype surrounding him in the story (especially now since I just caught up with the manga's Act II) but I do know that he's necessary so that Sawamura has a rival and continues to aim to be better. Also about the cliche in sports anime, I get what you mean. I'm a big fan of sports animes and I've seen it in nearly everyone of the ones I've seen and though it makes things more easy to predict, I don't think it's an entirely bad thing. I say continue watching it 'til the end~! If you like the story as a whole as well as its characters (even if you hate Furuya lol), it's still definitely entertaining and worth the watch. |

| Furuya practiced his monster pitch for his entire childhood. It's his whole life, which is both the reason he's so boring and the reason he's so good. Also, the team of the main characters has to fail from time to time, otherwise the plot becomes too predictable and victory would quickly lose its meaning. And judging by scenes in the first season and what Chris has said, if Sawamura learns to control his 'moving ball' at will, he'll become nearly unstoppable. This is also true for Furuya if he learns to control his pitch and some additional breaking balls; once they get to that point, they'll be more or less equal as pitchers. Sawamura develops pretty fast, so I can easily see him becoming the ace in the near future. I personally don't really care though, I enjoy the show as it is. |

Cucumber12 said: Maybe read the manga as it's better than the anime. The pacing in the anime is pretty slow and it gets worst later on.I'm currently watching the anime and I'm in the second act. I'm thinking of dropping it. Dont get me wrong there were some heart filled moments and I enjoy sawaumara getting better and gaining more experience but its soo long. second act and he still hasn't improve to the point of becoming ace. The anime is very slow. They havent even gone to nationals. It's like they are keeping it in highschool baseball. Theres no going further with this anime. Like beyond from just playing baseball. Their only goal is nationals and I bet I probably wont see them play nationals with the way the animes going... I wasted so much time hoping i'll get to see sawaumara gain more experience with being the ace of the team. it sometimes seems like hes not even the main character. Although he is. I dont know... I know he becomes the ace and yay but going through so much I dont feel satisfied... others may argue but this is based off of how I feel going though 97 episodes... |
