Ace of the Diamond

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!

Words cannot describe how amazing this show is I've watched literally every sports anime out there and I STILL think that diamond no ace is the best anime I've ever seen. <3 yes even better than Haikyu!

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.

This anime perfectly captures the intensity and emotional highs of competitive sports. The animation during key matches is fluid and dynamic, with just the right amount of exaggeration to make every moment feel epic. I love the way the story works, not all the Protagonist always win from the start, they have to lose at some point and go through some hard mental and physical training. Whether you're into sports or not, the energy and passion are infectious. It's not just about winning-it's about growth, friendship, and pushing past your limits. This is a highly recommended anime, can't wait for new seasons.
