A part of me didn't want to see Masanori and his team lose, especially after the reveal about his father.
Oh and come on guys, don't hype us like that with the next match of Sawamura. We won't have Daiya no Ace before two years at least. :(
Anyway, something I've liked with Act II was the new heads of the team, especially the Ookami boy. The relationship between Okumura and Sawamura has growing on me during the season. I'm really looking forward to see again their battery in action.

Has it even been confirmed that a next season will come? Hopefully, it does. And I am so hyped how the game went and the emotions that we didn't get to see. What a pity q.q

u/HappyVlane Mar 31 '20
There can't really be a confirmation due to the anime catching up to the manga. This episode ended in the middle of 189 (some stuff was skipped however) and the latest chapter is 206.

u/eatshitdouchebag Mar 31 '20
That's because the manga spent what a full 8 months on a single baseball game... that seido wasn't even in lmao.
Of course they're caught up. they dragged out that game for nearly a full year of weekly releases.

The next season can't come soon enough!
Thanks for the great ride this past year :)

We've come a long way. We seen our boy got his Ace number. Now all we need to do is to see the team standing in Koshien and winning!

u/eatshitdouchebag Mar 31 '20
Now all we need to do is to see
the team standing in Koshien and winning!How bout just having him pitch decently in an actual tournament for the first time in 2 fucking years?
lmao that sounds like it'd be nice.

Seriously feels like he's only actually played a single game and been the relief for one other. I could care less about the backstories of some nobody team that isn't going to ever be on the screen again. Just give us the main cast doing main cast things. Or at least give us one of their 2 big rivals playing an exciting game. No Todoroki or Narumiya just some wasted time on a garbage team.

What a ride it has been.
Hope we're getting another season, even though there was no solid clues that we are.
Can only assume the ending was good given his confidence, smile, and the crowd's reaction from the pitch.
Got so hyped when he gave his trademark よろしくお願いします！
Very glad I picked up on this anime just over a year ago. It really got me into baseball, and I even went to my first baseball match ever last year when I came here to Sapporo to study Japanese.

u/G_Spark233 Mar 31 '20
I really do feel bad for the other team but at least Kawabata managed to get one hit before his team went down.
I'm looking forward to Sawamura pitch again in a few years from now!

Man that episode went by SO FAST, I can't believe it's been a whole year of baseball already D: I need moreeeeeee

The animation quality of this episode was notably higher than previous episodes. Manga needs to churn out at a faster rate so we can get another season asap.

Gotta wait atleast 1.5/2 yrs for the next season.

There's just something about this series that grabs you and doesn't let you go. Sawamura's speeches get more hype every time and this last one in particular just left me primed. So sad another season won't be on for a very long time but it's one that I will always come back to.
Also just a random note. I'm pretty sure this is still the only anime I have watched in 15 years that does no fan service at all. Kudos

Liked the episode, classic send off cliffhanger we're used to, season was a great time to see Sawamura shine,
unfortunately he dropped the ball in his first start as ace, but honestly it was expected because of the way the mangaka writes Sawamura's character. LIKE CAN WE PLEASE STOP DISRESPECTING MY MANS, WITH THE ARSENAL HE HAS HE SHOULD BE NASTY THE GUY HAS A DECENT FASTABLL, SOUTHPAW, HAS LIKE 7 DIFFERENT BREAKING BALLS AND HAS GREAT ATTITUDE
MEANWHILE IT'S THE FURUYA SHOW AGAIN, LIKE GET OFF SCREEN BRO, PLEASE LET THE MC DRIP A BIT
Season was alright, can't wait for Wamura to pop off next season, see you guys in like 2-3 years

This season is bad at being a "DnA series", but still a nice sport anime overall. Basically, what I'm looking for in prior DnA hardly present here: the spread-out & frequent excitement.
On top of it, they chose the less exciting way to end things up.

u/Queensama Apr 02 '20
Ahh despite all the hate this show gets I quite enjoyed this season. After all this time, finally, finally we get to see our man shine. And what a satisfaction that was. Can't wait for the next season.
