yeah the subs released for this episode were TERRIBLE. the timing of subs and sound was off. By the end of the episode your reading subs. then 2-3 seconds later u hear them talking. its bad.

Perfect for me too. Nothing to complain about in the subs or the video quality. Great episode.

I've got no problems with the sub-audio synching...

I can't wait for ep 3 subs. It looks exciting. So what exactly does batting pitcher mean? A pitcher that bats? Or a pitcher that pitches to batters for batting practice?

Batting practice pitcher, haha. That's too bad for Goro, but at least its a starting point in which he'll be able to proceed.

I feel really sorry for Shimizu, no one should have to date Goro.

I hope his solution to that guy hitting him isn't to level up his fastball again, it'll just be way too boring/predictable/unrealistic.

It seems almost unfair to other shows that a series that is already so good at doing sports shounen and drama somehow manages to excel at doing romance too.

Think they would make a cute couple . . . Anyways actually looking forward to the next episode, I can already see what is going to happen, happen. He is going to help the batters "practice" by pitching 100mph and the obvious result will be him getting recruited.

Awwwwn, Goro, you're so rude and mannerless, but you can be sweet when you want :)
Anyway, I'm glad it didn't took him 19 episode of this season to realize his feelings. Again, his ability to quickly take resolutions helped him this time too.

It's kinda funny since the practice pitcher for batting are supposed to them training, yet, he will just go there to rekt them and try to prove he's the best! xD
Oh, Goro...

That episode was so gratifying. Nice going, Gorou. Major props to Taiga too.

More romance, pretty please. We've waited long enough for it.

Looking forward to Gorou being a "batting practice" pitcher. On the upside, it actually will help the Japanese team since they'll potentially be facing Gibson.

i loved how they turned major to this little comedy romantic, i didn't think they could do it that good.

goro sure was acted not as himself by finding his real emotions, as shimizu said, it's really not his style to be like this, however, i like it!
i truly believe that his sentence that she make him excited more than 2 outs and 3 runners was really original phrase, i still can't believe they made this episode so good, i hope they will deliver more of this, i believe if those slice of life scenes will continue this season will be better than S1.
i'm glad though that at the end of the episode things turned to back to the old major routine, kinda remind me the first episode of the seasons of bakuman concentrating more about the romantic than the rest of the series

about the opening, i couldn't really find the song to be good mainly because i didn't found the op animation and the song synchronised, it's like they had the song but mix so much scenes from the season to look synchronised but not, i will say though that i found the song enjoying.

I personally think Komori resembles an otter more than a ray but oh well.

Wholesome date and I love Goro's confession, shoutout to the friends who had to tell him straight up on Kaoru's feelings as that baseball nutcase would've otherwise still be oblivious.

So far, I'm liking how this season seems to be turning out. Surprised to see how much I am enjoying this as a romantic comedy, and had the confession done in the second rather than dragging it out thankfully. And I'm really liking this ED theme. Also noticed that ShoPro producer / former SynergySP board director Naohiko Furuichi is now being credited as a production manager rather than a producer and NHK Enterprises is being credited for production now rather than co-production. Wonder if that had any specific meaning.

It finally happened, only took 5 seasons for one of them to confess, but we finally got one!

And now we go back to our regular schedule baseball program.
