If you haven't watched it live on Keyhole TV or something, you may have missed the first commercial shown every episode. (Well it was on the very first episode and the twenty or so others I caught live, so probably every episode.) http://company.wakasa.jp/basic/cm.html It's the second commercial (first one on the right hand side) shown on the company website. I think it is great fun. Aoba visits a live-action school to do pitching practice with the girls' baseball team. Last edited by PeterI; 2009-12-08 at 00:29. Reason: fix apostrophes |

Although I've only been watching the anime, I believe Rumble-fish stated earlier that the anime could possibly be slightly better (arguable of course solely because some feel that the anime is spoon-feeding too much but that's a matter of opinion.) Even so, I feel that the anime is well worth watching all on it's own so don't hesitate to continue. One of the most faithful adaptations I've seen to this day.

thanks for the replies. I was mostly curious if the fillers have still been consistently good (i thought the first few filler eps were nicely done). I'm glad the anime is still going strong. Now that my finals are done i'll try to catch up now.

I'm usually not a fan of corporate mucking-about in TV storylines. But if you're going to do it, get it right. Wakasa Seikatsu and SynergySP are getting it right. Quote:

at the risk of spoiling something though the episode is filler, it is mentioned in the manga. She does go to the first tryout for the national womens team, it is just never shown and only mentioned while Aoba and Azuma are talking in a later chapter

Well in the preview it looks like Aoba got a cast on her leg which might be pretty injured if she has to stay in the hospital, I don't see her staying in the hospital for so long, probably 5 episodes max so there will be plenty of time for Aoba to be back. I also see there might be some Azuma and Aoba relation developing soon because Azuma wants Aoba to blame him but it looks like she didn't blame him.
Whats wrong with eating the outside clean of the tempura? I always do that, and eat the inside for later. Another thing is when Aoba got hit why is her back to the batter?

True, it was a bit gratuitious. But at least, it got the audience some obstacle to root against untuitively, with a character they will probably never see again and had to immediately have a pre-conceived opinion on. The shock of the hit probably caused her body to spin, especially as her upper body and waist were already moving as such from the velocity of the throw. |

You know, all this anime-original episode about Women's Baseball makes me want an anime original second season where Aoba goes off to either try out for the national womens team again, or at the very least win a high school tourney of her own with another team (Midori's team comes to mind). And get even a scholarship for it.
I mean, once Wakaba's dreams have come true, its the perfect replacement for Aoba's motivation. After all, she still has one more year of high school left after Kou and Co. go to Koushien, so there's at least one cours worth of story there. Animators get to milk money, the sponsors get more exposure, and we get to have another season of Cross Game. Everyone is happy, no?

I'm the type of guy who sees the glass half full rather than half empty. And considering how great of a job the animators are doing even the anime original parts, I really don't see why we should be so pessimistic of them screwing up an anime original season featuring Aoba with her turn to shine on the mound.
