This was a very nice training episode. Tajima was just hilarious. "I can only masturbate once a day" Next episode starts the tournament, i look forward to the upcoming matches.

There's something wrong with Tajima's brain.

With saizen's 31 days of Christmas, we'll hopefully getting more Ookiku soon.

I thought the whole meditation thing dragged a little -- it was, like, 1/3 of the episode -- but I'm curious to see what they're going to do with Hama-chan. =)

Can't wait for the next episode!!!

i really like hamada. he might actually end up being my next favorite after abe. i secretly hope that later in the series he'll be part of the team, i mean he used to play baseball right? but i guess he's good as an ouendan. cant wait to see him in the outfit ;P haha.

good episode. tajima = hillarious. oh, and i loved how during the training mihashi had his typical diamond mouth~ he's so funny!

this series is just so good<3

They get rice balls with fillings as grades for the previous day's performance, then play games. Am I the only one who wants to see some of the epic showdowns that take place at those times? More slice-of-life needed!

Momokan is super cool, Hama-chan is fun. Such great build-up, no wonder the match itself gets so tense.

Huh? When?
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

Use Personal Blacklist extension in Chrome if you just want to Google for a series synopsis, without google slapping MAL score in it.

Everyone's working really hard! I want them to win, but I suppose it'd be sort of unrealistic.

Oh Tajima.

I've got a fever, and the only thing that can cure it is MOAR ABE. I'm really looking forward to Mihashi getting in trouble again, if only just to see Abe cheer him up...^0^

The meditation exercises are my favorite part of this anime. I wonder how many schools do anything like that for their teams... I think it could make a big difference, relaxing by looking at third base. :)
Your mean should be an even bell curve only if you watch every show that comes out. Having a high-slung mean doesn't mean you're rating improperly. It can also mean you're selecting shows well to watch mostly things you enjoy.

great episode! all the masturbation jokes are getting to be a bit much really. I love training episodes though, for the improvement yet to come.

I love these training episodes. The psychological pressire involved in sports is fascinating -- as is how to beat it with the same techniques. Saa-do ran-na~

Mihashi was such an adorable spark of a kid -- easy to cry but easy to smile. CUTE. And Hamda's comments about how they chase after less balls with Mihashi around... pitcher for LIFE. ;__;

The euphemisms for Tajima's masturbation... LOL NO FUNi. Though spank isn't as bad as episode two's 'taming the monster.'

LOL coach bribing good performance with candy. Not sure if dub or.


Oh! And just realized that that is Hamada in the Opening, sliding Home. For practice! What a neat detail. :3

Okay the training regimen scene is very good. Normally in anime it would've been presented in a slide show way but this one just ISN'T.
