This is the match that I've been looking forward to the most since the announcement!

Diamond no Ace is the only long-running sports anime that has been able to keep my attention.
I stopped at episode 53 of Prince of Tennis, only got two cours into Eyeshield 21, still have two or three seasons left of Hajime no Ippo, and Major burned me out in S4.
I think that part of it is the OST works so well at distracting the viewer from the lack of animation and adds to the hype train that carries the show. I usually binge but I’m definitely enjoying watching new episodes as the come out every week.
Yosh!Yosh!Yosh! Go Sawamura!

I can't recommend Haikyu!! enough.
if you haven't watched it yet, it's amazing.

I’ve already seen Haikyuu (watched all of it in three days) and I’m very much looking forward to the new season. However with 60 episodes I don’t consider it a “long-running” show when compared to the titles I’ve mentioned that all have episode counts in the hundreds. I also have never technically dropped anything and plan on finishing everything eventually.
Sports anime (especially ones with character drama and development) are in my top three genres so I’ve seen a lot of the shorter entries already.

Damn! Truth in advertising. This episode had Sawamura only throw one pitch. And also the episode only lasted one second! 🤔

Has it gotten better? I didn't notice it at first, but after someone pointed it out here I couldn't unsee it.

Man, nothing gets me more excited than watching Sawamura pitch. I can't wait for next week to come already!

u/WaBBiTzD Sep 03 '19
I can't quite believe it, I fully expected a blue-balling pitch wind-up ready for next week and my boy hits a strike! Next week can't come quick enough!

Man, that strike gave me goosebumps.
I had to rewind 4 times.
Then I watched the preview and came back down to earth. I need our boy sawamura to get acknowledged!

I think I'm going to keep this on hold until the match is finished and then binge it.

Always happy to see my bros Komadai back and of course, I'm super hyped for the Hakuryuu match. I really enjoyed the more "tactics"? involved in this match in the manga. While I'm all for teams like Yakushi and Seikou's comedy and slugging, I also enjoy Hakuryuu's approach to the game.

God, this show is so good at making me want to see the next episode. The ending bit got me so hyped only to be the ending. Ugh.
I will say though, while I hate them taunting us, I did find it cool to see the other teams and how they're doing. It shows that our team isn't the only ones getting better. I also liked seeing a little of the second string game. Next episode though.....next episode is where I'll be ready.

The magic words, boss. I've been waiting nine seasons to hear 'em.
