Was that great or what? I can't believe we still have to wait for the actual start of a game, but that was such a good episode, wasn't it? What did other people think?

Yay!!

P.S. What do you think is up with Hama-chan?

omg, i love hamada more and more with each episode! and finally some more character development for Izumi. izumi x hamada?? hmmmm ahaha. i do want to know what happened to hamada in the past, and ireally want to see him end up playing baseball =)

i'm so excited for the tousei game, but i'm probably gonna wait for the next few episodes to be released before watching. the worst is being stuck waiitng for the next episode in the middle of a match!!!

abe and mihashi were sooo funny with the memorization.

oh, and momoe looked so touched by the mothers offering to help. and i love how hanai's mom and mihashi's mom talked for hours on the phone... mothers tend to do that, a lot... lol

Hmm, delinquent Hamada? I've got a feeling it's something like that.

Match starting soon. I'm so nervous for them.

Good episode, I'm really starting to feel the pressure of the match with Tousei.

The beginning though was awesome, it never fails to get me laughing at the drama of it all.

Christ, I'm in love again. Stop doing this, show!

Re-watching this, it's easier to see now how much foreshadowing and name dropping Higuchi-sensei has done. Well... not so much foreshadowing as behavior that won't yet be recognized as important for many, many episodes/chapters. Aaand once again, the battery twins! I can't remember their names (Aoi?) but having read the chapters with them at the forefront, the gag w/ Mihashi and his #1 tag ("Is it now #2?!" -- you're not a catcher you dork =__=) suddenly makes sense. I lol'd.

So much appreciation for the inclusion of parents and moms and side characters to fill this baseball world. Shinooka and her manager friend from another school, the cheerleading squad and its importance to the team, the usual yakyuu jock attitude and Nishiura's peculiarity, moms involved and not involved in their kids' yakyuu but wanting to change that, Coach's ULTRA FEELS and appreciation at support when she was doing it alone...

Gah. ☆*:.。.ヽ(;▽;)ノ.。.:*☆

Super pumped for next episode. why can't i watch it now

Mihashi's mother is super kawaii, we now know who he inherited his personality from.
And the game is about to start!
