Nice epi!! Man, this show gets me right there, everytime. Wakaba's story of Ko and Akaishi was so epic, so I guess that's the goal of the whole show? Aoba and Ko to the Rescue!! And Senda's face was priceless, when that Robber about attacked him, I Love This Show!!! Urahara Out!!

This was an amusing episode. So far Cross Game is my fav show of the season.

The next episode preview makes me kinda wonder just when exactly will they start playing baseball though XD

Ok episode. Not much to say really, except that thing with the robbers was a little too ridiculous for my taste.

Hence why they made fun of it the next scene with that other guy.

i liked this episode, the first part felt a little bit too long for what it did but the rest of the episode was great. I can't really describe it but there's something i love about this series, i just can't point it out. Maybe because it's natural and feels more real? since most Animes consist of something unreal these days. Definitely one of my favorites this season. Also favourite op song this season :)

It looks like we won't be seeing any baseball game soon. In addition, they are secretly training so that they will form a baseball team in high school.

Slightly slower episode compared to the first 3 episodes...

The beginning where Aoba remembering Wakaba and Wakaba talk about her dream is great TwT... miss that girl, technically, I kept seeing her each episode, but somehow the fact that she's dead doesn't feel like she's around...

Robber situation was enjoyable. Not sure about the training, but at least the events in between are really amusing. Looks like a mandatory cold episode next. Looking forward to it.

This was a great episode. :) I like Akaishi and Nakanishi - they're both also great characters. And the appearance of a "rival" was also interesting~

Senda... Fun? He just annoys me, really. XD Is it so hard to say that you weren't the one responsible for catching the criminal? I guess it is when everyone misunderstands and is saying you're awesome... but still. I didn't like him for taking the credit anyway. DX

Nice to see Ko and Akaishi becoming "friends" at the end, sort of... :) I'm sure Akaishi's right about how Wakaba would've been happy... I bet she wouldn't been happy to see them as friends too.

Oh Senda, you sly dog getting all that credit for nothing XD

Again, a quietly awsome episode, but every mention of Wakaba is starting to tear at me inside :'(

Akaichi is such a bro. Don't judge the book by its cover, uh?

Awwwn, Wakaba appearing in everyone memories just break my heart. She was so sweet... :(

They are worrying for the sempai in that other club, but with the newcomers, it look like they won't have to bother about them anyway...

Catching thief, baseball style! Senda really can't throw a ball, he look even worse than me! xD

I'm Kinda Getting tired Of Senda And those Other hooligans, Get your act together or Get your Stuff and Get out! Senda at least has some Comedic Value.
Kou is Moving along Nicely with his training. Here's to seeing Some Games Soon!

I love the flow of this episode - the story is continue, slow and safe, without rushing, make you love the characters and attached to them.
Love how they made Senada as the funny guy, as I didn't stand him in the last episodes - from arrogant to toady, I like hime better in the rule of the funny guy.
The background still make vomit.

Intro with Waka-chan still makes me sad. I'm glad we're getting more new flashbacks instead of repeating scenes from episode 1 but this much should be expected.

The first segment with the robber was actually really badass. Now it feels a bit disappointing that in Mix


I still don't really understand what's going on with the highschool baseball club. Guess I have to keep watching to find out.

So the scene at the beginning of the show in episode 1 that felt like foresight was actually a dream of Wakaba? Damn I didn't think it'd have meaning. Wonder what Aoba's doing there.
