| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Someone didn't expect Kou should beat Azuma but he did but they still lose the game. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| The foul ball before strike three Azuma said should have hit dead center (presumably for another home run and the game ender). It didn't, so Azuma considered Kou the winner during that confrontation and took strike three. |
fanti said: My exact same thoughts, I found myself smiling quite a lot during that episode. I'm sad though that Kou doesn't win his wager with Aoba.this show puts a smile onto my face :) I can't wait for the next episode. I'm glad Kou had a nice debut, can't wait to see if they ever get together |
| Bah, somehow I thought the bet was about 5 points of difference... :( |
| LOL what is with Aoba's hands go up at the end? |

Siva said: LOL what is with Aoba's hands go up at the end? She was probably happy that she didn't have to treat Kou to a Napoletan (sp?). Also, as some others mentioned, this show makes me smile, too. Cross game is just really easy to enjoy. |
| oh yeah, i strangely prefer this even before fma, just a nice show to enjoy, even if i dont know the rules^^ and i was totally happy when the guy said strike three!!! |
     |
| I kind of loved this episode. I didn't really see anything wrong with it. I laughed, got pulled into the game, and didn't doubt anything that happened. |
| Anime is just like the manga - easy, funny and enjoyable. :) |
fanti said: Yes, yes it does ^_^this show puts a smile onto my face :) Just love this series. |
 |
| The bet was about keeping the opposing team within five runs (5 points total), but they got 6 points, so Koh lost. |
| Best episode yet!! Everything was great from beginning to end. The part with the farm coach and the third year, about the bandages on his head was hilarious and touching as well, the old man really is a good coach. Koh's reaction to the strike out was lol, I just wanna see that coach get pwnd!!! Urahara Out!! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| Nice way to end the match. Next episode seems to have an anime-original character showing up, probably senda's sister or something. Guessing the animators planning on showing off Aoba's skills. |
 |
| what a great way to end a great match :), there's series is just so damn good. I was completely immersed in all 3 episodes of that game. They managed to make it so exciting. Was strange that Azuma couldn't swing, guess it was to show that he is actually threatened by Kou. Was glad to see the 12th graders helping them out and being more respectful. Bummer they lost in the end, would have been great to see the prefab team win :P |
| It was really a close fight. I didn't expect that the prefab team can evenly match up with the first string team. Kou finally struck out Azuma after giving him a lot of free home runs. And those 12th graders finally showed some backbone. The coach knows how to bring out a player's talent. |
     |
| Too bad Kou didn't get the Napoleton, Aoba will fury if he get that.. The circle was great, |
 |
| As expected ^_^ they lost. But at least the team is laughing with their head high ^_^ Seem like Miki is interested in Farm team ^_^ |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Aoba almost had to treat Kou to some food, though Kou probably would have been able to make it better himself. |
| This series definitely puts a smile on my face, too. So enjoyable. Great, great episode. The coach [for the "farm" team] is awesome. :) It was cool seeing how he pulled the team together to close the point gap... [even though it seems like Ko let the other team get ahead at the end by not focusing on pitching after he "beat" Azuma and let it get to his head.] |
| FYI, runs, not points. As a stickler to details, after Ko's final hit, he was running on the pitch, and the batter bunted. With both of these happening, it is impossible to throw a runner out at second, unless that runner was not actually running. And even if he wasn't stealing the base, it's pretty much impossible to turn a double play on a bunt unless it was bunted very hard directly at the pitcher, which it didn't seem like the case. But this is me being picky about the baseball accuracy of this anime. But with all things aside, this was a great episode! I loved it! |

| A fine finale to an overall decent three episode game. Still, the past three episodes have been the weakest in the series. However, the one thing irritated me the most was the cheering fans, to have them cheer for the stronger team from beginning to end, for every Varsity batter was ridiculously absurd. |

| Great ending to a great match. It was really exciting. Kou did a amazing job. Can't wait to see what happens next. |
 |
| I like Azuma now and I hope he and Kou will be in the same team. That was a nice game. Haha, I was surprised that Senpai used a sacrifice bunt. Teamwork finally hitting a little home now.. |
| What a game! The coach and the manager manipulated the seniors so easily lmao! He really knows how to bring out the best in his team. "Let me have a good dream." "They're asking if a nightmare is okay too" haha! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| the coach was pretty funny Kou hit for the cycle and pitched 7 innings in his debut OP. If he had just plunked/pitched around Azuma every time his ERA would have looked a lot better XD. |

| And hence the feel trip continue. Koh visiting Waka grave, touching moment. So in the end, the miracle didn't happened... Judging by the end, he just let it go... But he did one miracle, striking out Azuma. He even have been able to make him smile a little, that's quite something! I loved when he saw the pitcher face and remembered Wakaba face when she was going for a direct. Just a funny and touching hint leading to the equality. That sneaky coach... I really believed his story! xD |

| Sadly No miracle, No Win, and most importantly No Napolitan ;-;! Dammit that Coach...Ugh I Love the Old fart even More because of that story. |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| Kou did a hell of a job all things considered. But now what happens with the coach? |
 |
| I had guessed Azuma had the same voice actor as Miyuki from Diamond no Ace. They are similar characters. Best episode yet, really using the great characterization to add to the tension of the game. That old coach is quite good too |
 |
Thalandor46 said: I don't understand how the bet was lost. They lost the game by 1, right? Isn't 1 within 5 points? Hold them to 5 runs, so they can't score more than 5 runs. |
| They lost the game but he managed to strike out Azuma once, that's something. |
 |
| So Ko beat Azuma when he was trying to hit for real, nice of Azuma to let him have the third strike too bad it went to the happy idiot's head causing the the loss... goodbye free napolitan |
 |
| GG. That game lasted longer than I expected but it was a good one. Ko made a nice debut. I bet the coach is reevaluating his life decisions up until now lol. Or at least he would if he wasn't such a scoundrel. The 3rd year senpais are a-holes but they're still endearing. Lovable bastards. I guess this will be their send-off? Let's forget about winning Koshien, I wonder how Ko will even get to the preliminaries at this rate. Next episode looks fun. I like the balance between baseball and sol episodes. |
| the end was really touching i hope he learns better control over his pitches |
