I apologize if this doesnt belong in the thread because its not from this season, but does anyone watch Ace of the Diamond around here? Now I admit I love baseball, but I pretty much hate sports themed tv shows/movies. I dont know what it is but I watched the first episode because I had nothing better to do and found myself enjoying it quite a bit.

darkgray posted:Hrm, as usual I can't stand the weekly wait, so I went ahead and checked out the Baby Steps manga. Ran out of material after 29 volumes, but it's remarkably good. Reminds me a lot of Hajime no Ippo, with the way it's centered around sports outside of school clubs, and has a focus on going professional. Doesn't hurt that the romance actually moves forward every now and then. I just suffered through 38 volumes of Area no Kishi, where it wouldn't move an inch. I ended up reading all the translated stuff thats out there as well. Ended up doing that with Ace of the Diamond when that first started too.

It took place over 3 days: 3 hours on the first day and suspended due to lack of light, 7 hours on the second day and suspended due to lack of light, and another hour on the third day. The 5th set itself lasted 8 hours and 11 minutes. Oh god I dont watch tennis but I watched a lot of that game, it was amazing.

Ace of the Diamond has stumbled onto the thing I dislike the most when it comes to shows about sports. The game/match that goes on for way too many episodes. I think its been about 6 or 7 episodes just for this one game, and theres still at least one more to go. Thats not including the 2 or 3 weeks where the show didnt air. It took about 15 minutes of the episode to throw 4 pitches.
