Well that was an intense match. The pitches and catches. 13-9..

Well I'm getting into the competitive mood as well. As for Eijun, I think he's running into that line succession in the future as well.

Looks like Eijun now has a rival for the title of being Ace, Satoru has a powerful pitch though, it blew Eijun away, that surprised me. Also, it looks like they showed who that girl was in the ED, and here I was thinking it was that girl from the middle school, but whatever. I can't wait to see this match between the first-years and the upperclassmen.

Eijun is da man. I liked it when he stood up and expressed his will in a classroom.

A dark horse showed up. Eijun got such a competitor. This kind of development is fresh to me baseball-anime-wise. The show is getting very interesting. Strongly looking forward to next episode.

Yeah, I also wondered that for a sec.. Anyway I'd like to see his ex-teammates again. They were too impressive to be forgotten.

So the cliché, cool and talented rival has appeared... He has the same VA as Haruka.

Well, I'm interested as to how they will play out the first year's game. I'm looking forward to it.

8/10 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.

Good episode! I enjoyed watching Seidou's match with the I-forgot-their-name school. It's nice to finally watch a baseball anime with a strong batting lineup! :D Eijun is hilarious btw. He reminds me of myself, because I would totally play catch with myself as well ;)

Introducing a rival was a good way to move this plot! Looking forward to next Saturday, as always.

That baseball game was so intense, my heart was pounding the whole time because it was incredibly engaging and exciting. Miyuki boy is awesome, a genius catcher, and a good hitter, not to mention that throw of his when the opponent was trying to steal. So apparently the main problem Seidou has is a fitting pitcher, but that doesn't seem to be a big problem anymore with a talent like Satoru and Eijun, who has the skills to be a great pitcher with his curve balls (or according to Satoru, "disgusting" throws XD). Can't wait to see both of them in action!

I laughed so hard when Eijun was like, "throw..and catch!" happily by himself, and then Satoru comes in and asks him if he's having fun.

Another great episode, glad to see they're doing a great job with the series so far, and the great part is that it still gets that much better in the later parts.

And just a slight tip, don't expect there to be any romance just cause they introduced a girl, it's even less than it was in major.

somehow the moment that random tire hits eijun it started to make the klutz girl annoying, its just that it defies how that tire randomly flies when she is trying to give it to him normally. She's annoying lol.

As for the pitcher spot Tanba already had a massive hint that he will be replaced but again Eijun's Random Slider pitch will have to go against the super sonic pitch from the Hokkaido pitcher lol

Show is still pretty interesting wanting to see what happen's next. Just hope that the show will stick with real game play and nothing superficial like a mach 1 pitch :P hehe

They tried to inject a girl character into the well going story in an unnatural way, and that ruined this episode.

I don't expect this series would be a good one like Touch or Cross Game.

This anime keeps improving from episode to episode! Really enjoying it right now! The fight for starting line-up will make it really interesting. I like it how both of the ace-to-be first years are two main characters in the anime!

And yay! More female characters! I wonder if Haruno will be a rival of Wakana in the future!

So potentially, there could be a 3-way battle for the ace between Sawamura, his rival, and the guy who just lost his spot as the ace. This should be interesting.

There it is! His newfound rival. Looks like it would be a battle between strong pitches and unnatural curving pitches.

I can't wait for the first years to try and destroy their senpais.

Nice episode, although the match wasn't very exciting since it was obvious that one team was better than the other. It was there just to point out the need of a new pitcher.

Oh no. Not the the nice looking silent not bullshit talented inner rival guy. Not every straightforward loud mouth needs a Sasuke.
And damn, the clumsy overly nice supportive girl is here too.
This show just took a bad turn.

For Christ sake. I would prefer if he got in a relationship with the hot scouter teacher. It would have add some spice to the mix.
