| This show is pretty good. I've been wanting to watch another sports show since Major releases are slow. I love that manager, she is hilarious and the other characters seems like a good cast. I can't wait till they start kicking ass. |
 |
| Hmm~ sounds good. *goes to download* |

| w00t? I'm not the only one watching this! Someone to discuss with :D . tks faust ^^. I'm tring to get less biased against sports animes, so I picked this up a while ago. Haven't seen major though. I liked how they explain the technincal stuff, since I'm a total noob when it comes to baseball (I'm in europe after all). The manager is indeed pretty cool. Same goes for Tajima, and Abe. nya~ can't talk more 'coz I've seen the other two :P . gonna oppen the 3ep topic. |

| Watched all that has been released thus far and I really enjoyed it. Though the main character can be quite annoying at times and I hope he at least stops the crying soon :( Edit: Me no good at grammar :P |

| I am SO happy other people are watching this! I absolutely love it, and I'm one of the few people that doesn't think Mihashi is a loser, haha. Can't wait for more subs! Gonna love to see how Mihashi and co. develop and improve :) |
| I'm enjoying this show too. It's more of a "realistic" tone than Major is. I agree with MistaNight, the main character is very annoying. Hopefully he'll change for the better though. :) |
| finally got around to watching this show. just as i expected, it looks amazing. i only wish i knew SOMETHING about baseball because a lto of the things they were talking about or reffering to went over my head. hopefully mihashi wont be a wimp the whole series, but his facial expressions are to die for <3 haha. abe seems like he'll be an awesome character. can't wait to see them get really good and beat everyone 8D |
| Hahah, not bad at all! Love the coach. And Mihashi has a good personality, he's the kind of character that's fun to watch grow. Looking forward to seeing more. |
| I just rewatched this series....I love their coach...she kind of reminds me of one of my old softball coaches when I was in high school lol ...I love Abe, Tajima and a bunch of the other characters but Mihashi was way to annoying for my taste, I can't stand whiny characters like him. I really love this series but hate how it just teetered off at the end...hoping for a 2nd series. But oh well there is always the manga. |
         |
| So, I guess he throws a gyroball. Although I hated his complete lack of confidence, all of the other characters were enjoyable. |
| Nice start. I didn't actually expected to be that good. |
 |
| Yay~ I love anime involving baseball and this series throws you in right from the beginning! The characters are great, especially the coach, and Mihashi doesn't annoy me as much as I thought he would. It shouldn't take me long to finish this :) |
 |
| It was a good start but wow the pitcher is so negative xD anyway i can't wait to see what his personality is going to be in the end |
 |
| I love the coach XD yay, a control pitcher :D soooo many anime go for the overwhelming power of fastballs, its refreshing to see someone who's going to have to actually outwit the batters if he wants to strike them out :) I'm not sure I like puppet master Abe :/ |
| That was waaaay cute! I got a feeling I'm going to enjoy this show |
| Nice start, I love Baseball Anime!! And, for anyone who doesn't know...The FUNi Dub is Awesome!!! Great Cast!! This dub could maybe rival Beck?......Nah, no dub will ever rival Beck!!! But Abe is the same voice as Koyuki from Beck. Greg Ayres...I would say he is maybe the best American VA... But he's Negi Springfield in Negima, which may be the most annoying voice ever...LOL! I really liked the whole...Everybody on his other team hates him. B/c, it'll make for good entertainment watching him befriend his new teammates. The coach is great, and the equipment manager seems like she'll be a nice character to. I was planning on watching this on Funi's streaming sites, as per them having the full dub up, but now I'm considering buying this. Though, only if they've came with a full set yet, last I saw, they wanted $50 for each half of the series. It's good, but not $100 good. Plus Funi has already announced that they won't be dubbing the second season, so that means I'll have to re-watch this in Jap w/subs so I can watch the second season as well. Gotta watch some more...Urahara Out!! Edit: WIN!!! I just checked Rightstuf, and on Aug 24, they are releasing this in full as a S.A.V.E. box set (Super Amazing Value Edition) for $29.99 /Pre-Order....:P |

| A baseball anime without a pwnsome pitcher from the get-go? *head asplodes* Of course Okazaki Tomoya is the best player in the team. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Hmm, interesting. This is the first baseball anime I've seen in which the pitcher isn't a focused fastball sort of guy. Good control could lead to some different sorts of games. Abe's manipulative side makes him freaking awesome, and Tajima has a pretty cute personality. I'm liking this show so far. |
 Znips: When Shay is born she just crawls back in the womb to shitpost for another year |
| Ahww I loved the first episode, I'm sure I'll love this anime as well :) Can't wait to see Misashi growing in skills and as person ^^ |
| AH. The main character pisses me off. >< Please stop crying. D:< Abe's cool. "Did I say something to make him cry? o.o" I'm liking it so far though. |
Mi-chi said: It's not actually shounen ai, it's more like bromance. >friendship in sport anime. This is actually one of the best, if not the best baseball anime in existence. Major is good, season 1 might be the best out of them all in term of story writing, after that it was all about fastballs, which isn't quite as good anymore, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Cross Game had some good human drama, and it was a good baseball show, but it's still the same old Adachi Mitsuru's style, it's pretty much the same as Touch, H2, and some other baseball manga of his, still enjoyable though. This is very good, like the most realistic one out of the bunch. They're using strategical approach instead of just fast balls, which I love. >since I like baseball anime after started Major years ago< Definitely recommended for every baseball fans. >I want season 3< |

| Good start! Looking forward to more of main boy's pitches. |
| nice episode! really liked it much more than I thought I would. the main character did annoy me for a bit there though. hopefully he becomes more confident and stops with all the crying |
 |
| First impressions were very good. I'm glad that they seem to focus on the battery, especially how the catcher thinks. Usually I don't like weak-willed characters, but Mihashi is very cute so it makes up for it :-) |
 |
| The MC has ZERO confidence, I hope that changes sometime throughout this series. It's annoying as hell |
 |
| Rewatching....and I think I'm liking Mihashi more the second time around. He's so adorable ahhskksjsj |
|
| Mihashi's so cute :> I can't wait for his development. |
 |
| Ahh, Mihashi reminds me so much of Tsuna. Good start. |
| Nice episode.I kinda feel sorry for Mihashi where back in his middle school,his teammates kinda just abandoned him on the field.Even the catcher kinda just left the game calling up to him.It's not a surprise that he lacks so much confidence as a pitcher.I hope on this new team he will be able to grow into his skills and be more confident. |
 |
| Imo one of the best things about Oofuri is always that it had an incredibly legit portrayal of anxiety and reaction to ostracization by peers. |
| Great start! Mihashi will have to improve a lot though and that's the fun part. |
 |
| Ohhhh this looks interesting!! I like the characters, they are nice! The MC reminds me of Deku ;D he's such a cry baby! A cutie baby ❤ his worried face (in cover art) makes me watch this show lol |
 |
| Really enjoyed the first episode. Looking forward to seeing how the team develops. |
| this show is so??? charming????? the characters mainly. usually not fond of the timid wimpy type of mc but mihashi's pretty tolerable and his attitude is reasonable, i mean getting hated and despised like that because of something bad that you did and couldve change will burden anyone. other characters are nice too i know it might be too soon to say this on the First episode but god i love them. we have hot pretty coach who's also strong as fuck, leader like catcher, bald confident ass (as he should be), and a sunshine guy who's apparently really skilled. the part where the other guys were saying "nice pitch" was so ;____; man i loved that sm |
