Ace of Diamond

HAHAHAHAHA
Help me get off this ride ;_;

>Subs supposedly out on CR in 30 minutes
>HS still hasn't updated their fucking schedule
RIP.

i dont remember where the anime left off
can someone give me a quick rundown of where this season picks up

It's a very good series and like OP said, definitely better than HQ in both manga and its adaption but Yea Forums is full of fujos and Jumpfags so they wouldn't bother with something like Daiya no Ace.

>It's out on CR now
Rips when?

Fun show, I really like that Wamuura isn't instantly the star of the team and others get to shine just as much. I look forward to marathoning s3 once it has aired. I can't really stand watching sports 1 ep per week.

I wonder if HS forgot that new season starts today.

Compared to Haikyuu fanbase it's not much. Though maybe it has attracted new fujo hordes since no big homosport has aired after YoI.

HS is always late with first episodes.

New opening looks superb

What teams are they gonna play against this season? Will pic related show up?

It's much better than Haikyuu, but it's lacking in the usual shounen nonsense and can be fairly slow paced at times, so most of Yea Forums doesn't have the attention span for it.

I'm just thrilled the anime is back. Been looking forward to it since the first series ended.

HS still hasn't even removed all anime series which were already ended from their schedule despite new season starts today.

It's really good, but the way the show keeps dunking on Sawamura can get a little irritating. I guess it will be very cathartic when he ends up as the ace, that's why I'm still happy it got a new season.

Is Sawamura the true ace yet or is he still just fake ace whenever Furuya injures himself or has an identity crisis and whenever he pitches everyone just wonders where Furuya is?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SAWAMURA X OKUMURA FANARTS!

The new seasonal anime is today? damn.

Looks nice, though season 2 still has the best OPs.

all the openings are good except for the 2nd one

Is there a worst fictional coach than Kataoka?

coach anzai

>Production I.G isn't involved in this one
Hoping Madhouse will be alright.

>HS didn't even rip Pop Team Epic special which was out on CR yesterday
I wonder what happened with the person which has access to their ripper bot

Haikyuu is shit

why do people like it?

>Help me get off this ride ;_;
it's easy if you just watch the anime only

fujos

>can someone give me a quick rundown of where this season picks up
the defeated a team, now they are going to koishen

>Production I.G isn't involved in this one
Fug. Madhouse has a history of making decent sports anime on their own, but they're not what they used to be. All Out was very meh, though the source material didn't seem that good either.

they aren't even that sexy. kinda weird looking tbqh

ace of diamond never had any sakuga, so why are you worried

It's not the sakuga that makes a good sports anime, but the directing and a good use of OST. If Madhouse can handle that alone then good, but I'd feel better if IG was in it too.

They’re slated to face Inajitsu in the Summer finals, given that’s where they lost to them previously. The manga has only gotten to the third round, so there’s no way they face Inajitsu this season.

He’s the actual ace now but still jobs quite a lot.

I like this better than Haikyuu, because in most sports manga/anime and in Haikyuu, the only time the main characters actually lose is when they're playing a filler tournament, and its not actually the real thing. But in Daiya, they actually lost the tournament where it actually matters and failed to grasp victory.

>If Madhouse can handle that alone then good
that's what madhouse does

Haikyuu is very stale and boring. I still read it though. It's not good enough to get me excited but not bad enough for me to drop.
I don't know what makes Daiya no Ace really fun to follow, but it's pretty good somehow.

I.G. has always played more of a supervisional role than anything. Most of the heavylifting was done by Madhouse anyway so the loss of IG won't really affect much.

>Sawamura becomes the ace
>Chokes immediately in the first match

Not really. DnA focuses more on the plot, serious training than bromance and friendship so there are barely couples for the fujos to ship.

Ikr? I don't understand the fujos either. Hence why we're here.

So should i read the mango or watch the anime, does the anime have filler or pacing issues?

I'm an animeonly but I thought the pacing in the anime was good. Some episodes in season 2 had quite a bit of flashbacks and repeats of what happened last episode. It's a long series, but it doesn't feel like that if you marathon it.

Animeonlyfag here too, I think the anime itself is very fine. It's not slow but not fast either, it has the tension which is important for a sport show. Well it's up to you to choose which media style fits you the most.

YOSH YOSH YOSH

Feels good to be watching this again. The first ep didn't have much going on except introductions, but I don't mind since I've forgotten everyone's names except Sawamura, Furuya and Miyuki.

Lol I struggle to remember Haruichi's name.

Makes sense for anime-only guys, since it's been like three years since the first series finished. Sawamura, Furuya and Miyuki are the three most important characters, so it makes sense to remember them, but the rest don't have quite as much focus or reason to remember.

I'm glad they're still using the old OST tracks, they're really great.

I don't read the manga, how much Kawakami do we get this season?

doing god as furuya and sawamura choked as usual

subs when

Kamogawa

How does this compare to Major?

Erai-raws comes with subs, just download that one

I want to fuck Miyuki

thanks

It's boring.

It is though.

I stopped watching this at episode 65 of S1. Did it get radically better or something?

Major is more dramatic, focused on the protagonist, and covers a wider timeframe. This is more about the group as a whole, from a slice of life perspective, and the games themselves take more chapters.

>another season
FUCK YES HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T KNOW

The first quarter of s2 is slow but I enjoyed the rest of it more than s1.

Major (2nd) also has a cute loli.

you dropped it before they lost?

you monster

OG Yui is better than the new one.

I'm not trying to watch Daigo be useless all his life. Either way we're screwed since it's on hiatus.

I didn't know they lost. It was boring, which was strange, because when a sports anime entertains me for more than 5 episodes, it usually lasts until the end. Maybe it was just too long. Also, I still don't know the rules of the game. Don't bully, I have brain problems.

You make me want to watch this.

Daigo has an impecable taste in waifus - i mean teammates.

I like this cocky super ace smug dude. final boss material.

I thought a lot of people read the manga after S1 but it looks like these threads will be as dead as usual. It's still early in burger land though, maybe we'll get more people later

I'M SO GLAD IT'S BACK, BEST TIME OF THE YEAR, About to watch it now.
This show makes me so fucking happy.

There's nothing to discuss in a down to earth series like this desu. Just enjoy the progress silently every week.

What a cutie. I wish most sports manga weren't so gay.

>first episode is reminder who is who and almost 90% stills
At least it still looks better than OPM.

Did you even watch the first two seasons? It has always been stills.

and camera showing everyone grins after 1 person said some motivational shit.

I did and yeah, that's true. Guess I got spoiled by the manga.

He and Furuya had a slug match in the third round, it was a fun chapter.

classic DnA

Not like people mix up runners and fielders

Honestly, Masamune is either the second or third best non-Seido guy behind Sanada and maybe Raichi

>yakushi
They are bunch of irrelevant jobbers now.
Even Amahisa is more threatening.

More threatening, sure, but not more entertaining.

If we're talking about that sort of thing, I'm most excited to see the rematch with Narumiya.

I just downloaded the first season because i'm feeling empty since Run with the wind finished, seems like a good sports anime and guys in baseball uniforms are hot.

I think you're in for a treat. I thought Run with the Wind was fantastic, but I still think Daiya is better.

The chink is also a beast

Popular

Really grinds my gears when subbers do shit like this. Anyways happy Diamond no Ace has a thread with 100 replies even though it has a bait line thrown in.

I hope the seiyuu radios come back

Speaking about Haikyuu, more anime when?

This

I only made it through part of the second season before losing interest because of fucking furuya

Should I finish it or is it fine to just move on to the new season?

You should finish s2.

Spoilers: they make it to Koushien

i'm gonna read manga first and then catch up.

Probably because haikyuu still hasn't advanced past the first year. Pretty sure Karasuno is about to lose their current match at Nationals.

This felt really low quality but I wanna see more of the first years. The manga really is on another level

Sports anime are typically hated everywhere on the internets and in real life. If it aint no super power dragon ball z wank fest people won't even bat an eye. Haikyuu is just as popular as Free and we know why. Ace of Diamond doesn't play give out manservice as much as the other two and is pretty plain and realistic for anime standards so it's not surprising few people talk about it. I tried making threads many times but it always gets archived after five or so post. It's also one of thousands of baseball anime that came out b4 so why would people give a crap about this one?

I like Ace of Diamond better because it changes up the baseball anime formula and it feels more realistic than any other baseball anime. There is a lot more focus on other teams which the worldbuilding. No super baseball genius here, no shonen tropes here just straight up strategy and grinding. It really feels that any of the teams can win rather than the MC teams winning because it's their third year or whatever crap is always being pulled.

In Major 2nd the MC sucks ass. He becomes the catcher and he still sucks ass and has to train like mad.
Not that DnA characters don't have their suffering and training, but the MC clearly has a quirk that lets him be good. Miyuki is clearly super talented. Furuya is a monster.
I am not trying to argue which one is better, but I am trying to point out that you are absolutely wrong with the "no genius" part. Like in any sports anime really, though, as well as it is in reality. If you are going to be on the top or at least close to it, you are obviously blessed with great talents. Of course that you are going to have to train a lot anyway, though. That's how reality works.

You must not be murican then

Theres the manager and childhood friend

On a related note, I like that Seido already has an established baseball team from the beginning. In this sense I feel that DnA is much more realistic than other sports anime. Talented players will obviously aggregate to schools with good training facilities and get even better, etc.
So many sports anime pull variations of the 'we make a team from scratch but still make it to the top' trope. Not to say that never happens in real life, it's just very rare. Though I guess that's what makes those kinds of stories compelling.

Me too

I'm not murican either and I picked up the game rules just watching the anime
basically when you try to hit the ball as far as you can so you can reach the most bases as possible and when you complete a lap your team gets one point, but if the opponent gets the ball in a base before you reach it and touch you you fucked up and lose your turn
