| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The Farm Team gets in gear while the main team falls apart. I'm guessing that is foreshadowing the results of the upcoming match. Can really only hope the Ahole coach gets what he deserves. |
 |
| Yuuhei you are the man, someone finally stands up against that a-hole coach. It also seems that his brother was a baseball genius as well but got his career cut short because of some accident and as a result, Yuuhei is trying to accomplish what his elder brother could not. Can't wait to see next week's episode, it should be awesome. |

| azuma is having big doubts. maybe he wanders off and go to the farm team someday. yeah probably his brither was nearly in koshien and didnt make it because of a accident. |
     |
| Woo, maybe Azuma will walk out on that team and he and Miki join the farm team? Can't wait to see the match. |
 |
| The match is shaping up to be looking good. I've been waiting for Azuma to stand up to the coach since he is practically the only one who would be able to do that. |
| Maybe I'm the only one excited about Aoba taking up a centerfield position... |
| Loved it. That's the kind of stuff I want to see. I don't see the Farm team loosing this time. A tie at the least. I'll be happy once the main coach is gone (or at least not the main coach). |
noteDhero said: A tie at the least. (bad Tom Hanks impression) There's no tying! There's no tying in BASEBALL! Seriously, though...there are several reasons why this series is a 10/10 from me to this point. The characters are fantastic. Azuma is the kind of guy I wish we'd had on my high school baseball team. Not only is he a fantastic player, he's a winner. |

| hoho! the main team is screwwwwwwwwwwed! No azuma, who was their only reason for winning the first game. No miki, who left for another school, Aoba in farm, who'll probably be better than the three new scrubs on the main team, especially since Kou will strike them all. There'll probably be some drama involved, but odds for main team winning are only 5:1, probably ending in two episodes at most. |
Papander said: Good episode, i liked it. |
 |
| This was just great! Some real fights starting here eh? A game with the coach and team's existence on the line. But i thought that Azuma has really started to grow now. Appears he isn't who we though he was, like someone already said appears that his brother was trying to reach the Koushien (however you spell it) and seems that Azuma is trying to reach that goal instead of him. Since his bro has that leg injury. Guess we can't tell if it's out of love for his brother or something else at this time. Cause it could be other things. Was sad to see Mikii kicked out of the team, would be cool if he ended up on the prefab squad, and also awesome to see Aoba playing for them in the game. Was a great moment when she realized that Kou surpasses her pitching (even though shes really good). Uhg! Can't wait for the next ep. Another week. (I am following central anime's subs) |
| I hope the coach get what he deserves. |
 |
| Hm Hm it's interesting to watched Aoba and Kou in the same team... |
 |
| I'm really excited to see Aoba play with them in a match. |
| Aoba's playing with them! And of course I cheered at Azuma being a wise-ass to that coach. Dude needs to fuck off so we can get a half-decent antagonist. In other news, this ED is sexy. Needs more casual Kou and baseball-themed Aoba, but I am so not complaining about the sports bra top, or the backless swimsuit. Not that Momiji isn't amusing too. |
| Sweet. This was such an awesome episode. It had a great balance of a bunch of different characters, and it's fantastic to see the "Farm" team really shaping up nicely. Super excited for the match now. :D |
| :O Azuma just made shit get real. |
| Funny how everyone's glad for what Azuma did, despite the fact that he just pulled the ultimate douche move of ransoming his talent. If it had happened to any other coach, I wonder would the response have been as enthusiastic... |
| "Ah yes, the demon drink...'Nature's Alzheimer's' they call it" |

| "Right, injured..." *PUNCH" "It's just a bruise." respect +1 |
| Best episode of the series so far. - Azuma, Junpei is bad ass. - Azuma, Yuuhei is bad ass. I'm so pumped for this upcoming game!!! |
 |
| I have a feeling Hiroko's grandfather is some kind of district or school bigshot. Haha that look on the coach's face when Azuma told him he won't play :D! |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| HA HA Goodbye sunglasses, you won't be missed! Take em to the cleaners boys...and girl! |
| OHHHHHHH, SUNGLASSES GOT REKT SO HARD!!! That was so satisfying, being outmatched by an highschool player, all that with the coldest eyes he could have pulled out... :3 Well, it will definitely be interresting. Please don't fuck up, please don't fuck up, please don't fuck up... |

| Hell Yeah Azuma is On My Good Side again i was hoping he OF all the People would stand up to that ASSHOLE of a coach! Aoba Joins as CenterField and we have our team. That "Pro" team is so Fucked! |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| HA HA!!!! Hell yes AZUMA!!!! That was pure gold. Now its time to see prefab give the final blow. |
 |
| What an exciting match, and unexpected twist. |
 |
| Haha, Azuma. I was hoping Miki would defect to the prefab squad but I guess Aoba is good enough. |
| I am loving this anime! I want to see that coach lose his shit! I'm so excited! |
 |
| I like the progression we've seen with Azuma's character. He's been a fairly reasonable guy from the start; he's confident, but not prideful like the coach is. After seeing the coach acting only in his self-interest rather than in the interest of the team, and considering that Azuma seems to be the main thing holding the varsity "team" together, it was very gratifying to see him stand up to the coach. That was the highlight of the episode, for me. Aoba joining in was nice too, but for now I'm a bit more interested in Azuma. That older brother of his is rather peculiar as well; did he train Azuma? I'm hyped for the next match. |
| yay Aoba joined in! i've been wanting to see her in action. nice moment there with Azuma, i would also be annoyed if one person carried an entire team. the old man coach made an excellent point, even though varsity team has talented players, they are not anything like a team. will Azuma join Kou and his team? idk if he'll fit in but we'll see |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I wonder if Azuma is trying to reach Koushien because his brother couldn't do it. Aoba will play in the revenge match and Azuma won't, that gives them a chance to win. |
 |
| - the prefab team get back after training and lose in 6 games? looks like Azuma knew exactly what's going on, guess we will know next episodes. - "we can win, maybe, I think" LoL - why it took to much time only to know Yuhhei's brother? - the Varsity team starting to falling apart. - the next episode/game going to be intense. |
| Hope to see Miki and Azuma at the end of the match to have switched teams, would be pretty sad for Miki to leave the school when there is a team that fits what he wants. |
 |
| i am finally starting to become engrossed in this series! it took a while but i'm glad i stuck with it. i also really like the little character mysteries this series presents, like who is that old man truly, we've seen him get into fancy limos and ducking around looking all shifty-like... and what sort of backstory is behind azuma's brother? looks like he used to play baseball till some accident probably... i am excited to see how this match unfolds ^_^ |
 |
| Azumas actually have a good relationship with each other. Good good. Young Azuma should take his nii-san Azuma Junpei's advice and actually enjoy baseball instead of lusting for Koshien. I guess Junpei-san used to be an ace pitcher in some baseball team but couldn't go to Koshien due to his injury. That means his younger brother is trying to fulfill his dream. That's what all these anime are about. Azuma has a mean face but there was not enough information to hate or love him. Glad the story is finally filling in his details. It was almost heroic of him to get himself an injury and rebel against the selfish coach. Nakanishi lookalike Miki will be missed. That old guy is the prefab team manager's granddad? I still think there might be a deeper connection. Aoba is in the team! And she'll play side by side Ko too! I can already see this match being better than the previous one. Let's goooo. Rivalry is fine but creating two separate school teams and competing with yourself is dumb as hell. They better win this game because "Sunglasses" needs to go. |
