Diamond No Ace

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

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!

This story is incredible-it made me laugh, cry, and experience a whirlwind of emotions. It's truly heartwarming to witness the struggles, progress, failures, and successes of the main character and the team.

The bond between the team members is beautifully portrayed, and every character is very well-written. I feel this anime is highly underrated and deserves much more recognition.

The baseball games in the series are also thrilling. Even though I knew nothing about baseball before, the story was so compelling that I ended up searching for the basics on YouTube just to better enjoy the matches.

I highly recommend this anime to anyone who loves sports and friendship-driven stories!

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.

The pacing is not that good, but the waiting is worth it. Everytime Sawamura (The MC) is able to complete, what he was fighting for you are as happy as him, and the anime hypes you up to grow yourself.
