----------------------------------------
This is it! It's the end. Starting from next week, they air the same thing weekly.

It showed a bit of the images when Yuuki was depressed, and the thought before she yelled out.

The team is trying their best even without Yuuki is not here.

Minami feeling the same "touching" feeling as Yuuki did when Yuunosuke hit it.

Showing of Minami and Yuuki memories looks like they are a couple. Special full ver. ED with them a part of Koushien team. Customers of baseball.

The part where they showed images of Yuki and Minami was really touching...
The final was pretty tense, I loved it.

7/10 for this anime, the beginning wasn't that good but the later games were very suspenseful, I was on the edge of my seat almost all the time. The drama in episode in episode 09 was a bit too cliché though.

Still, a good anime overall.

The anime was off to a slow start but ended up being fairly good. However, I did feel something was missing to make the episodes more interesting. Maybe better art and animation would've been enough. I never came to like the characters enough to really care about what was going on either.

I didn't think they would actually kill of Yuki at first, but I had my suspicions a few episodes before it happened. And I thought this anime would be all happy..

While the overall plot was a bit normal, I still think the anime was great, the story was touching, and I enjoyed watching it. (Side note: I liked how it came out daily, I think I connected to the story more than usual.)

Great final episode. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The part with Minami experiencing what Yuki felt that one time was touching, especially with all of their pictures going by.

The show had such a unique broadcasting schedule, but it made it a lot of fun to watch. It makes me wish that more anime would have schedules like this, specifically the really goods ones that it kills me to wait a whole week for new episodes.

I think the animation is the weakest point, but it wasn't too bad.

I wouldn't mind a 2nd season but I doubt it will happen. Does the novel end at this same point, or is there more to it? The anime definitely got me interested in the novel though, and I'll probably read it if it ever gets translated, and same with the movie coming out. I'll give Moshidora an 8/10

It's a good bittersweet ending.
the flashback scenes and Minami crying really stirred my emotion.
maybe it's cuz they release it almost daily that I got attached to it. It started out meh but it builds up and the last 3 - 4 episodes were great.
glad I didn't drop it. Twas enjoyable.

I thought the same thing until I realized I'm watching 10+ on-going anime from this season alone. Daily airing would kind of destroy the time I set aside for other things. XD

Too bad the beginning was so slow. This could have been a lot better if they'd focused on the baseball early on, but I guess since the book is a major part of all this they had to go through all those boring steps. Overall, it felt really low-budget and I think it could have been better. It wasn't a bad show, though. And it was pretty fun watching it daily.

8/10.. i liked this show since the beginning because it really followed the title, to which i was very endowed to see prior to watching it.. although it kinda got overly dramatic (to the point that it looked cliche) with ep 9, i'd say all the moments i like in the final ep came because of it, and i'm glad the last lines came from that darn book as well.. it could've been better overall, though, especially considering how low budget it looked like..

anyway, those Minami and Yuuki pictures while ED plays almost made me cry.. oh well, time to wait for some Minami x Yuuki doujins..

This ending was a lot better than i expected after Moshidrama ep9. Especially those Yuki x Minami images during the end. Also, love the ED.
I liked this from the start, it started mediocre, got better, had ep9 and ended good again. So 6 i guess?

To me it seemed more like sisters... you know? like the "dead little sister" we've seen over and over and over, this was just a small variation (as in sister-like relationship instead of sisters.) Well, I'll forgive it since it was well done.

Anyway, I enjoyed watching this but it wasn't all that great, 7/10 from me.

I already had a bad feeling about Yuki more than halfway through the series...

Still, a great, and touching ending it was. My chest tighten at the last two episodes...

A new look for Minami, the hat wasn't bad but I prefer her without it and with her hair laid down.

a 9/10 to me.

Man, this anime is awesome. The drama, while good, is not the best there is (but Yuuki....). Still, for seinen and all, the things in "Management" may come in rather handy.

What is this, south park? XD

How many of you would go read a book on business management? Probably not a lot. In this sense, I think that this series really succeeded. They are turning something that only a small niche group of people would enjoy (and a group who are usually too overachieveing to set aside time for anime) into something everyone can enjoy.

Plus this anime only had room for 10 episodes, had there been a few more I'm sure Yuki's death would've been ... better dealt with. Still, I think this anime really did what it wanted to do, knew who its consumers were, how it would benefit society, and most importantly, done it with integrity.

A little less intense than episode 9, but still quite emotional. This anime made me care more about baseball and management than I thought I would. I'm just glad they didn't do this compressed schedule on AnoHana--that really would be more than I can take.

Definitely a bad beginning but a good end. Of course, my brain doesn't work because i spent this episode crying and last episode laughing at her get slapped.

Squeezed by with a 7.5 because that damn Yuki made me cry for her =/
I never enjoyed the management theme after the first episode. after that it was just a meh idea.

It's like the melodrama in the final episode was oozing off the screen.

Normally, when the opening theme plays in the final episode, I get pumped up. This time however...I really didn't care. I didn't feel invested in these characters, and I figured the end result was going to be exactly as expected.

Yawn.

Overall grade: 5/10

I expected nothing to be honest (I mean, the premise alone pretty much kills it), but IG actually managed to make a decent story out of a blatant book advertisement (and a low budget one at that).
Other than the slow start, there's really no major issues here I can poke at, unlike many other much better financed projects. Considering its limitations, it's a great story, decent execution, and quite astonishingly, decent animation where it matters (and doesn't).
7/10.

I also didn't expect anything, but it turned out to be a whole different experience then I thought it would be. I'm glad I watched this, though there were some little cliché things, I find it a 9/10 worth.

This anime was simply amazing.
Every anime that manages to make me cry deserves a 10 out of 10.
Stop naming little details that were maybe done a little wrong, start looking at the amazing developement of characters.
In the very beginning I didn't notice any character at all, but over the time you get the feelings of every single one of them.
This anime is definately underrated. I just love it!

At the beginning I wasn't expecting much from this series. After the first episode I thought Uwaaaa ... weak. But each episode was better than the previous one. This anime really surprised me...
I think that this series would be even better if it had 26 episode.
But still I really enjoyed. From me 8/10.
