Not me, I need my Koume and Koucho fix weekly before I lose my mind.

[Shii]

I think the sub groups were overcome with moé and they all died.

[Dop]

Woohoo! Ep 8 subs spotted!
That's something to look forward to when I get home from work...!

[sikvod00]

All hail doremi fansubs!!!

[mpt37]

Once I saw the subs were out for ep. 8 I had to stay up and watch it.

Spoiler for ep. 8:

I don't if it's because it's been 3 weeks in between episodes, or if this episode was just that good, but I couldn't stop smiling from beginning to end. Koume's becoming one of those character's where everything she says and does is entertaining to me.

Nice to see Saburo back in the mix, too bad his "accidental" confession wasn't picked-up on by Koume. Didn't expect any romance for the other characters especially Noe. Her reaction to being asked out was really cute, she was so surprised even her hair moved (like Ranka).

Also, the Osaka comments made me laugh. It didn't occur to me when I watched it the first time, but re-watching that scene now I don't know how I missed it. That vacant stare and big smile combined with the wig makes for one good Osaka impression.

Many of us thought this day would never come!

[MeoTwister5]

Thanks for the heads up. I love you all.

[DJ Trouble]

Spoiler for My Favorite Part:

"The line was 'I love your smile.'" Hilarious.

[typhonsentra]

Yeah I love the awkwardness between the pair. They look good together but does anyone feel weird how there were no hints of romantic interest on his part until the parents intervened? She continues to more or less hold it together, at least better than he has.

[Silvance]

Its great to know that Doremi didn't drop the anime.

[Cirrostratucat]

Omigod, finally! Ep 8 is out! Hail Doremi Sub! I'm soo happy right now *tears of joy*

Spoiler for ep 8:

I even didn't notice that "Osaka" part until being mentioned in here. Koume's reaction on that part was truly hilarious, I just can't stop laughing when she jump into the water

Saburo and Koume looks really good together as a pair, though I'm actually quite surprise that Saburo has starting to develop romantic interest by "accidentally" confessing to Koume...

This is a really good episode, really look forward for the next one... And hopefully this time I dont have to suffer again by the long wait ^^a

Oh, and also this:

Spoiler:

Its just soo hnnngghh! XD

[Pellissier]

Episode 8.

That was once again sweet as a cake, even if it did focus more on Koume this time around, instead than on the whole team. By showing Koume as standalone, I get to understand better why she's such a sweet character loved by everyone. When she's with the team it's easy to lose the focus and watch the others, but alone she's just delicious. Glad they're even bringing ahead the story with her "boyfriend". It's funny that they went all the way to the park, acted like.. 3 lines and "it's time to go home", they could at less mimic a time skip ^^. Koume's expression before jumping off the bridge was priceless, just as Noe's final blush was. Absolutely didn't see those coming.

Also, there was an error in the score of the game at the beginning, right? Before the last action, the girls were 4-2 ahead. Then they boys scored 4 runs due to Akiko's lost ball. Doesn't it make 4-6 ? Because the score said 4-5. Still, it was a silly loss. XD

I decided to make some animated avatar to spread some more TaYaMu love around. They're all freebies, claim and take.

- Blinking Squad





- Koume's "before" scene



- Noe blushing and unblushing

Well, Koume and Saburo always got on very well, and the movie script they read was significantly talking about some guy who never showed his true feelings...

It's possible that Saburo only liked Koume, and because of the engagement, he's doing his best to convert his feelings to love and be a good fiance. Or if he did have a crush on her beforehand, it makes Koume's dad more like a matchmaker; he's definately annoyed that things aren't moving even more quickly between them.

Pellisser, isn't the girl in your last avatar Noe? Tama's the 1st blinking avatar.

It was the bottom of the ninth inning right? Perhaps they decided that once the boys scored enough runs to be ahead that the game was over and thus didn't bother counting the fourth run since it wasn't needed.

As for the avatars, I like the Osaka-Koume one as I like to call it. Heh, no matter how many static avatars I make for a series, I'll probably never make any animated ones. May as well throw out a few random ones myself among the way too many already made.

I'm not sure about the rules in that era, but in modern baseball the rules state:

If the home team is trailing or tied in the ninth inning or beyond and they score to take the lead, the game ends as soon as the winning run touches home plate; however, if the last batter hits a home run to win the game, he and any runners on base are all permitted to score. (Wikipedia)

Since it wasn't a homerun, the game ended as soon as the score became 4-5.

Spoiler for Episode 10:

Wow. Lots of Kyouko goodness in this episode. Definitely a training camp episode and yay for hot springs goodness.

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep10:

Onsen! Onsen! And a new type of censor, the Koume censor!
A full Kyouko episode, and very funny. And in various other reasons, a priceless episode. Like being able to see the girls that usually tie up their hair with their hair down. And the terrified reactions during the courage test.
The dream sequence was absolutely hilarious, thanks to Kouchou in the background for some reason.

Spider on the face... No, just... no. That's way to scary.

Though I wonder if it is my imagination, but did the background always look as cheap as it did this episode...?

Preview: Almost... the end...

[ThoHell]

Those girls are throwing, batting, and pitching like boys... O_o Every episode so far has been enjoyable and I'm 100% sure the remaining episodes will be as well. It's going to be sad when this series end.

[FuzzyWuzzy]

Doesn't look like there will be some kind of good closure for this anime since it will end at episode 12 and they are not even good yet.

[Ghostfriendly]

Does the speed the girls are developing seem realistic to most people? They're certainly progressing sensibly from the basic skills to advanced ones, but I've heard it said before that they're becoming good too quickly.
