| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- SMH this bitch sister, but welp, that was a good game, anti climatic, but it fits the theme so far |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |
| Woah so does this mean these two in the OP are Akai and Touma? They're that rivalry?! Touma looks so different! (and unhappy... :( ) I had always thought those two were the brothers' fathers in the past, but I guess not. I wonder why Touma looks so dark and what the rivalry/contention is about then... Otomi? Something better not happen to Otomi... Or Sou for that matter actually, I just realised that I could REALLY see him dying later on with how much Touma relies on him for everything right now.. And what's Touma carrying on his back? Do bats have cases like that? And it's a shame Touma's dad only caught him playing that bit where he dropped the ball/muddled the throw. Wonder if that's going to be a recurring gag--the father never realizing his son's talent and being confused at what people are going on about. lorde_esme said: There was so much build-up for a lack lustre ending. Nah I quite liked that. It was good that they didn't go the predictable and unbelievable route--they really should have lost that match. Two/three people can't carry a team, they were too far behind at that point, and none of their team have/had the practice, chemistry or experience to match them yet. Some games, especially their first, will and should go like this. They still need to grow a lot more. And it really drove home the point of Touma not handling large expectations and pressure well (like Otomi said--"expect too much and he'll bring you down"), an element that's only just been introduced and in need of development. I kinda got the idea that maybe that's why Sou miffed it--he wants to get Touma to improve and get used to handling a lot of pressure and responsibility (hence him smiling when Touma calls *him* out on it). Sou seems to really play that subtly nurturing older brother role well from what we've seen, and Touma really does need to be able to handle those things if they want to go far in the tournament. You can't have an ace that's bad at handling pressure. |

| That was anti-climatic as fck... at least get one good hit out of the pitcher, I'm all for making them more like an underdog but come on. Touma's like the opposite of Goro in terms of personality and fighting drive in the mound. |

| I just noticed how Otomi and the new coach's daughter is basically Minami split in half lmfao. |
| I’m actually glad there was no anime esk comeback story that episode, I’m also glad it only took one episode for a game to play out, I love sports anime but I can’t stand when it drags their feet each insignificant game. Not that this one was, but in general. I’m willing to say next episode will be less about baseball which is fine. |
| My only gripe with this show is how slow it is. I don't mean development but the way it feels like every scene is longer than it need and should be. As if they have to stretch every episode to fill the 24 minute slot. And that's already with the annoyingly pointless narrator and introduction. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| I disagree with the anti-climactic complaints. I thought Mita's dominance was a really exciting development and represents how far they still have to go. The brothers needed to be brought down to earth and a perfect game was an appropriate way to do it. I also love Mita's drive and competitiveness. He's an awesome rival. Hope we get to see a whole lot more of him. |
| I'm sure this isn't going to turn into a "not blood related" drama... right? I hope the daughter of the coach is there for pairing Tou up with. |
 |
| Meisei sure has a long way to go but they also showed some potential there. Hiroki Mita may have a perfect game but he sure doesn't have the attention of his little sister...I'm fearing the worst for the Akai guy. |
 |
| The game was fun to watch. But I could tell from the beginning that they were gonna lose. I really like Otomi and Haruka's little dynamic. They're like besties even though they're not from the same classes or grades which isn't uncommon amongst girls. I really like the setup of the next episode. Shame I won't be watching it until a while. Gone is the the time when I could binge like 10 Touch episodes in a day. But at this point in the story I'm hooked to all the characters and I can finally think of them independent of Touch show and its characters. |
