Ace of Diamond

This anime is simple. Don't expect any progress and development like Haikyuu, Kuroko No Basket, Hajime No Ippo, Captain Tsubasa or One Outs. This anime is nothing like them, however it's still a good watch.

The story follows Sawamura Eijun a southpaw but he doesn't really feel like a MC. His character development in insanely slow, nothing even remotely close to any of the anime I've mentioned above. Even after 3 seasons you won't find yourself remotely impressed by his development which is incredibly disappointing for a series with so much episodes.

Ignoring the MCish the story and animation is pretty good and pretty much all the good teams have amazing characters you'll get to know and love. If you can ignore the horrible character development of the MC then you would love this anime.

Never thought I will get so interested in baseball but this anime made me to love baseball.

I didn't really know what baseball was before I watched this anime , but I never felt I was lacking any information. The animation is good , story line is good, characters are well written and matches are exciting. A must watch if u liked hajime no ippo and haikyuu

I stumbled across this anime after watching Hajime no Ippo, Captain Tsubasa, Yowamushi Pedal and One Outs, they got me hooked to sports anime, I had high expectation from this one since it had a very good rating but it was very disappointing. How should I put it, it's more of a SLICE OF LIFE anime rather than a Sports anime. When I watched Hajime no ippo I felt so pumped up I started working-out, One Outs showed me how much a baseball game weighs upon the pitcher, and so on.

This anime is kinda like fairy tail, it has overpowered characters but the plot, back stories, character development are too shallow. There are brief moments when they actually do sports but most of the time it's just gags and other stuff.

If you looking for a baseball anime to watch, this ain't the one, The one that comes recommended is ONE OUTS. Peace

When I first watched this anime I'm not gonna lie that I'm one of those fans that complain about "Oh look another Furuya episode" and it's just so frustrating to see that he is so overrated and I hate how he overshadows Sawamura in most part but hey after rewatching the anime for the millionth time without skipping any episode I came to appreciate every character and even the baby-steps progress Sawamura has gone through plus the rivalry he has with Furuya that comes with bromance are to die for! This is probably the only anime that I came to the extent of learning how to read a Manga because I'm that obsessed with this Anime!
