Well, just caught up.

I used the read the manga when it first came out but didn't keep on reading, so watched this instead which went beyond where I left off.

In general, as a baseball series is solid. But same problems with most spots anime, in particular baseball, it's so damn slow... this series being among the slowest, at times at a ridiculous level.

Secondly, it's too narrow focused on the baseball games. There's no life outside of it, no character interactions, etc. This guy could learn a thing or two from Adachi.

Oh well, hope to see this continue after these last 3 episodes of recaps, what the fuck is this, Naruto?
