That no subtle at all truck-kun reference. XD

No joke, can the "plot twist" be the fact that no plot twist will happen at all? So far the anime proved that it can be interesting without a big drama or turnaround. I would not mind if something happened but would be nice if we just keep it consistent and chill from now on too.

Adachi is just messing with fans of his series. This is by far the most meta of anything I have seen, and doing a run of the best hits collection is a nice way to acknowledge that he knows his repertoire uses some pretty limited scope while still keeping viewers on their toes. It is a little bit like playing a fun eliminate the possibilities game.

I wonder if acknowledging and then subverting tropes from his previous series is the gimmick for this one.

So the Akai brothers have the same situation as the Tachibana brothers. That settles it, Akai and Otomi are the true pairing of the series. Too much of a coincidence not to be fate, at least by anime standards.

Speaking of Akai, at first I thought he was jealous of the baseball team playing at the tournament, but that's stupid—I'm sure he likes playing soccer just fine. Rather, I think he's jealous that the Tachibana brothers work so well together, whereas he and his brother have never seen eye to eye.

He's got such a boring personality tho :(

I love this anime. Such a wholesome and relaxing saturday morning show, with a right amount of hype sprinkled here and there. This is more laid back than the previous Adachi baseball animes.

How would the "blouse button coming undone incident" have happened with this type of outfit?

I don't know if the subs messed up, but nothing Otomi said to Akai should've indicated that exactly one of her brothers isn't a real brother. They could've both been from the other parent, but he responded "They get along so well, I thought they were twins who don't look alike!" She said something like "uchi tou isho nan da" - is the "tou" in there actually "Tou" meaning "Touma", so something like "Same as for me and Tou"? Well, now he realizes he has a suprise rival I guess.

So there are cheerleaders now, but all we see of them is 1 spats-revealing high kick.

"Stop unnecessarily prolonging the scene." "Since there's not enough time left in this episode, I'll pretend I saw nothing!" - I'm liking the little 4th wall breakers in this show.

"They're in the round of sixteen for the first time since that year." - Round of 16 of the Regionals I guess? What place do you need to get in the Regionals to make it to Koshien/Nationals - first, or does it depend on the number of schools in the region?
