| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm liking the intensity of both players so far. Dat epic pitch. Strike out! Took more time than I had thought though. But I'm proud of Sawamura! |
 |
| Yes! this Is what I've been hyping for the past month, I was very concerned after the first episode but this lifted my spirits. On that note, I'm getting some weird Rainbow: Nisha vibes from this, anyone else? |
| Eijun's Tokyo adventure begins |
| 00:08 "ee、Eijun ga Toukyou ni？” ano uragirimono! 02:05 dat crappy OP 04:18 "Just honestly accept others' love." dat Beeburr 14:35 Eijun u spidiot, i was expecting the jiijiisurappu 15:27 kita! dat slap 16:31 well said, Kuwabara 21:00 stop crying u stpidiots Hmm.... 7/10 for this ep. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Second episode and I'm almost crying... ;_; But stupid baseball Eren had to ruin the moment with his raging/crying. Good episode overall, even if there was too much indecisiveness in the middle. I guess I understand where he's coming from: If I had to pick between my local high school vs a super big music school, it'd be a hard choice too. Looking forward to the next episode! Btw Miyuki is awesome. |
| What a bunch of nice friend. I feel that it will be hard for me to leave if I have a good friend like them. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
CorpseDemon said: On that note, I'm getting some weird Rainbow: Nisha vibes from this, anyone else? Haha I said that last week, although this reminds me of Rainbow probably because of the artstyle and color palette used. Great episode! Man, all that pitching in the beginning was intense, I'm also really liking Kazuya already. What a good senpai. I'm glad to see that he's one of the main characters. This episode really had everything, intensity, comedy, and was even heartwarming. The farewell scene was touching, especially when that one guy started crying, and everyone commented on how patient and positive Eijun had been when they started playing baseball. The scene was realy well done, I like the music when the train started moving, it was a perfect fit to end the scene and its emotions, it managed to get a few tears from me. |
| Pitched a feel ball at the end of this episode. |
 |
| That ending scene was nice. Good episode. |

| Nice episode. Almost made me cry at the end... |
| i fell in loves wit dis cant ait for next ep |
| This episode was soooooo gooood. I didn't cry, but I was actually trembling when his friends said they wanted to play with him longer. At that moment I was just thinking "oh Shit! WTF?! No. No! NO!" |
| God i loved this ep so much when i first read Diamond no Ace and, when this came up i knew when it got animated it would hit me hard and, it did ;_; 9/10 |
| So much feeeeeels.. Sports anime are dominating this season so far. |
 |
| Holy. That brought a tear to my eye. Such a touching episode. Sniff... |

| I was a bit skeptical about this anime because I don't pay much attention to baseball. I watched other sport animes but nothing about baseball before. I'm glad I decided to watch this. Though it didn't have much action, the beginning got me excited and I almost dried at the end. |
 |
| This episode was soo touching. It brought tears to my eyes , shit. However , the preview of next episode shows that it's going to be all that fancy and stuffs. If you want another refill of the feels , do click this spoiler. EDIT : Can't post pictures ehhhh ?! |

To teach viewers courage and the meaning of justice! No matter how many enemies there are. No matter how strong evil is. Just remember. Does any another country have so many heroes? Has any another country been protected by multiple superheroes? Stand with me, friends! Remember when you used to watch your superheroes! Once you may have given up this dream. But today, you can be a hero!" - Kaname Jouji , Red Axe |
| much better than ep 1! that farewell scene was touching ;_; but i guess that will make eijun give his everything in tokyo... miyuki senpai~ i cant wait to see more of his awesomeness |
| I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned~ ♫ |
| This episode was good ...the only thing missing is that show the part that Eijun went to the girl house at night when he went to see everyone and that at that moment she was in the shower |
| It's time for Tokyo .. Too bad that we're not gonna see much of grandpa anymore. :( |
| More people need to be watching this. Is there any confirmation how many episodes this will have? |
| I like the last part of the episode really much and I'm really excited for the next ep. |
| Not a fan of baseball but this has got me hooked through the strong characters. Looking forward to more. |
kuuurt said: Sad ending was sad. I do hope Eijun e-mails that chick. I want to see them together. +1 hehe. But I don't see her in the character list not to mention MC list so I guess we won't be seeing her for a while XD Really good ep though. Loved the pitches in the first half. The feeling he was having of being awesome was nice XD. And Kazuya FTW!! The dude is awesome, really glad he's main :D...Also really loving the look in Eijun's eyes when he's serious. It's really nice The end was really emotional. Gotta be a hard blow there. Acting like nothing for 6 months then when he's just leaving they explode with tears and tell him they wanted to play more with him ;_; |
 |
| This episode was even better than the first, I can see Eijun and that catcher being good partners in the future, and that ending was so very emotional but sweet when all of his friends said that they still wanted to play baseball with him, I don't know how they were able to contain those feelings for those 6 months, that's what makes it really painful. But I hope things go well for him at Seidou. |
 |
| I actually didn't like this episode, it felt too predictable. I feel like this show will live in the shadow of the likes of Major. That being said i despised the first episode of cross game, and it turned out to be one of the best anime i've watched to date. So hopefully this show is the same, it feels like all baseball animes have lackluster first episodes (to me at least) since i also disliked the first few episodes of ookiku, cross game and even parts of Major. |

greebo said: Not a fan of baseball but this has got me hooked through the strong characters. Looking forward to more. This is surprisingly a good anime (possibly one of the best from this season) and this is coming from a guy who hates sport anime. |
| It improved a lot. Still not liking the MC. Hopefully the other team members are superb. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| That's how you make an episode very good pacing, very good animation, nice comedy, emotional ending and i'm loving eijuns gramps his a beast 5/5 it maybe overshadowed from other sports anime this season but i'm loving this show so far. |

mayukachan said: That's still a lot for one season and both kuroko no basket and hajime no ippo are ranked in the top 100 on MAL list even after 2 episodes. Usually there's only one or two sports shows in one season.maverick0999 said: it maybe overshadowed from other sports anime this season but i'm loving this show so far.

XD Well, it's pretty understandable why the other two are more popular - they have previous seasons. |
| Wasn't at all expecting such a good episode after a rather okayish first episode! The ending scenes were so touching. This anime sure seems to be worth of a weekly follow! MADHOUSE and Production I.G. aren't disappointing with their first ever (fill me in if I am wrong) collab, are they? Interestingly, they are already throwing everything they have got in Hajime no Ippo (MADHOUSE) and Kuroko no Basuke (Production I.G.) for bragging rights of best sports shounen anime this season. And they have this as a collab. :) |

| Really good episode, good for Eijun. What a good group of family and friends ='') |
 |
| Almost shed a manly tear today. Anyway, finally his journey begins. Does anyone know how many episodes will this be? HekkeHerrit said: Lol the departure seemed a bit overdramatic :D For me it was quite legit. |
 |
Akanezora said: Does anyone know how many episodes will this be? Everyone says it's possibly going to be 2-4 cours, so up to 48 episodes. |
| Im liking it more after I read the manga,, nice ep btw,. |
 |
| I've been reading the manga, so I knew it was coming, but that farewell scene was still so well done. It's sad how underwatched this anime is. |
 |
| Definitely feel the desire behind wanting to keep playing with your friends. But if Seijun's friends are willing to let him live his dream instead of being selfish and not let him develop, it is all for the better. Judging from the preview though, that path to the nationals seems to be a long ways ahead. Looking forward to this series! |
