Was that last bit anime original? I was pretty much expecting Seido would have to play without Miyuki in nationals and end up losing to parallel Inashiro.

I don't think I liked as much as the first season, but it was still very enjoyable. Looking forward to another season.

So, no chance of a third season then? Or are they just taking a break?

When they lost during regionals in S1 I got so angry I had to turn off every electronic device in my house, then paced around the hallways stifling tears of frustration. When that wasn't enough to calm me down, I went out at 3am and walked aimlessly until the sun rose. Even then I still couldn't calm down, so I wandered back to my house and laid down in bed until the anger turned into a hollow emptiness, like death of the soul, and finally fell asleep.

I didn't watch a single episode after.

Fuck this anime.

Not baseball. Also Shiratorizawa Arc might be the weakest arc in Haikyuu. It felt like the author was stretching it out, dragging it out for too long so I dropped it mid-way. Hopefully All Out will cater to the sports audience and not the fujo ones.

Last time I checked Jump raws the catcher was talking how he's a Shinigami or some shit.

Hoped it was given a chance but nope, Jump replaced it with another To-Love-Ru copy.

Sawamura is probably my favorite protagonist in any sports manga. I love how he's so good that he would be the ace on 99% of all teams, but he's always just barely in Furuya's shadow. It's so fun watching him grow as the eternal underdog.

>>139240859
It will be so satisfying when he finally gets his 1. I hope a actually gets it..

Solid final episode that hit the notes it needed to. But a good final doesn't make up for the poor pacing of the show in its middle sections. I still enjoyed it though.

>>139242140
Live baseball is boring as hell though, one match lasts for several hours.
It works in aminus though.

>>139240616

I think the second to last Haikyuu episode was the single best episode of anime this whole season. I also thought it had the best first episode of the fall season last year.

>>139242220
But i kinda like the idea of it being tactical and physical at the same time with possible turnarounds at every ball. Also the field is fucking beautiful.

You can pick up on the rule of the sport, but watching an actual game is nowhere near what we see in these shows. It's way harder to keep track of whats going on when it isn't being explicited explained to you and you don't have zoom-ins, slowmotions and several angles for every play.

Nice to see a thread for this show, even if it is just in honor of the final. No one seems to give a shit about the sports shows throughout the seasons. Anons too busy shitposting in the latest Kyoani thread.

>>139242701
True. More if you are from a country that doesn't have baseball culture. I enjoy watching some game during the season though.

Man these shows also makes me feel kind of sad. I know its just fiction, but I can't help but be inspired by shows such as Daiya no Ace and Haikyuu. These niggas are doing shit with their lifes and what did I do in fucking high school? Fucking shit all.

What other Baseball anime have you guys seen?
I recently watched Cross Game wich was nice, but a bit different. It had good characters though, i liked nearly everyone.

I also saw One Outs and Oofuri wich i both enjoyed. Oofuri is maybe my favourite so far.

Then theres Major wich i somehow have on hold somewhere in s03 right now because i found the MC annoying and the fact that he always starts off at 0 again feels a bit exhausting.

>>139243018
Seen all of those except Major
Oofuri is the best

Speaking of sports shows, has anyone seen the Yowapeda movie pop up somewhere?

>>139240091
its my favourite sports anime, but only because I play tennis and the anime does a good job showing the professional escenario
and i cant continue because i caught up with the translations, fuck

>>139240091
It's a good story of a growing person.

>>139240091

I didn't care much for it. Maybe because it doesn't have the same team aspect that many other sports shows do. Give it a shot and see if you like it.

>>139243424

>>139247498

Why do you think this?

>>139246890

We had some great discussion about character development in a Haikyuu thread a bit over a week ago or so, but sports threads almost always die out. Simply not enough anons interested to keep them going.

>>139247613
Because it's much better overall. Hinata was kind of relatable early but he started becoming annoying with his mentality and stuff. I think he became kind of flanderized over time. There are some great characters and matches but overall DnA is better in that department too.

Extremely. /a/ is just full of people that don't care about sports unless they have superpowers or blatant fujobait/ecchi so it's really hard to have a discussion here.

>>139240091
It's great, no doubt. Anime is meh in terms of animation so I really recommend the manga but the characters are respected so it's ok.

What I like the most about it is the fact that despite being 80% tennis the rest of it DOES have an impact in the story, MC actually grows as a character outside of the sport and other relevant characters too. Which is very rare in most sports manga, one of my main gripes with DnA is that the characters exist only when playing baseball, sure they are likeable but It would be nice seeing more of them as actual human beans. I feel like the manga would be more complete that way.

So if you feel like it go for it, Maruo carries the story really well and he grows A LOT.

>>139231747

>>139231747

>>139253731
They're like /u/ shitters.

>>139253446
Babby Steps and YowaPeda threads were comfy as hell, I think DnA only didn't get as much attention because of how long it ended up being. I didn't watch Kurokok for some reason and Haikyuu was already popular among fujos before the show so those threads were to be expected.

That's maybe the reason why I dropped Haikyuu in the first place, the characters seemed to stopped being high school students and just turned into full-time volleyball players.

It's also the reason why Oofuri on the top of my list as it perfectly balances the characters' interaction as to them being a normal student and having baseball as their club activity.

A ports genre series with the plot only focusing to the sport itself is good and all, but some SoL is nice once in a while.

There is Battery (Baseball), Yuri on Ice (Ice Skating), and other niche "sports" that was announced in Anime Japan 2016 a couple of days ago. Though Battery focuses primarily on the pitcher and a catcher that will tone-down the pitcher's edge.

You can't feel the intensity in a match by reading it, If it's been like 3 years and no hope of any more I guess I will.

It looks pretty grim for sport shows, The Rugby one MIGHT be cool and theres the two bros starting a baseball(?) team together. I don't know if any more is announced.

that's too bad

does Sawamura at least start to git gud? because i'm sick of Furuya always getting the good praise. I know he's supposed to be a rival, but damn he feels unbeatable.

>>139255749
He gets better, i'd even say good but he's still not the ace.

The manga is pretty intense though

I get what you mean, I don't think I'd enjoy DnA and Haikyuu as much if it wasn't for their soundtracks.

He looks so young, i thought he's 10 or something.

Oh man, poor Eijun

I guess I can catch up now. I can't even remember what episode I stopped on. Although I know it was before they lost the 'big' game of season 1.

I can't stop listening to the full version of the OP. It was so great. This was such a perfect end to the season. This was the first time I'd cried in a long time. Based Sawamura. Based Madhouse.

Major's first seasons can be boring but fifth season is so fucking good that it's worth to watch them. That OST and hype when Goro is going to pitch.

You probably haven't read Slam Dunk's final match then.

>>139256897
I liked the first season but i think it's totally unneeded for all that hardcore pride shit of him and ignoring pretty much everyone else. I'll still watch it, because i liked the actual games enough.

It's painful when you read a post, agree with it and then notice exactly who's in the name field

>>139257592

Around 130km/h I think?

Extremely popular in Japan

The following episodes just dig the hole deeper and deeper, but man does it pay off

Act 2 fucking sucks since is all about Furuya once again fucking cuck

>>139258005
So he's Jamie Moyer tier right now, cool. hopefully he can get his speed up.

>>139258295
I wouldn't mind Furuya if he didn't have such a shit-tier personality.

he has no fire, no passion. he's just bland with his only motivation being "m-muh mound"
