the OP and ED of this show is awesome...
not the usual OP and ED anime you'll find... but somehow, i feel eps 1 lack some sound effect. when i watched 1st eps, some scene sounds so flat because they dont add proper sound effect to it. but, overall 1st eps is so good... |

Liked the premise, but the plot seems too fixated upon and almost handcuffed to that major event in episode 1. I'm sorta not gearing up for the typical angst that will obviously follow in the later episodes... It doesn't really ease you into the show like Major, Ookiku Furikabutte or even the old Princess Nine did. And I wonder if this show will take a more fun, baseball-oriented route sometime. I can see hints of it happening, but not before a lot of token 'after-event' angst. I'd probably end up watching it all like with Touch though. That show too, IMO was a little melodramatic for the sake of melodrama. Even if it was good for it.

And with that said, I didn't realize this went animated. It'll become a favorite for me. |

Yeah, the mangaka's stuff, I always end up liking more than I thought I would. I still prefer Major's approach the best, but that show sometimes throws some characters under the bus (ANYONE NOT NAMED SHIGENO GORO) to move on in its arcs.
Oh yeah, I forgot my biggest and maybe the only serious complaint: A lot of the characters look the same. Even some male/female counterparts look like the clone version of each other. Usually that isn't an issue in anime, but in this show, it sort of is. I have to discern by voice now. |

Major has never lived up to the awesomeness of S1, but it's still a damn good series IMO. Yes, GAR-o is a complete tool sometimes, but that's just part of his makeup - he's also very noble and highly principled. That's a show about something completely different from this one - about how one young man's exceptional will can effect people and events around him. I think Cross Game is going to be much more about basically regular people and how they interact with each other.

Wow I got KGNE flashbacks their for a second...Nice setup of normalcy with a quick tragic blindside right from the start. Character designs are kinda...eh...But still cute nonetheless.
Wonder what direction its going to take after the time skip I'm assuming thats coming from the OP/ED.

Me liking a sports anime is definately a first. This really feels like an old school baseball anime, even the art style looks old school. I'll keep an eye on this, melodrama is my cup of tea, but sports isn't. Let's see how this turns out.

I'm always up for a sports anime, especially a character oriented one. I'm not familiar with the manga but I have to say I was disappointed in the animation, I don't really see the point in high definition if the drawings are so basic. I guess I've just been spoiled by series like Ookiku Furikabutte. That being said I think this show is going to be very interesting, they set up a lot in the first episode and I was very surprised at the sudden turn of events (I knew nothing of the story coming in), I will definitely be following this one.

I'm not quite into the direction of the first episode, it wasn't bad, but after watching Touch, this seems a bit unrefined. The bright colors for the retro design aren't my thing either, then again, I'm probably just bias. Still, I'm quite curious how the characters are going to handle the tragedy, so hopefully we see improvements on the next episodes.

1.Can anyone tell me what SD version & HD version mean?
2.Anyone know bot(s) that host cross game #1 or newest episode anime in rizon? (Wanna get it from IRC but no luck) For my opinion about ep 1, I feel it's too fast to end wakaba season in just 1 ep If the show will have 52 ep, wakaba season should last 3 ep at least. Wanna share kou time with her more, to show how deep of a relation they had.
