[Spoilers] Diamond no Ace episode 03

First day of practice.

Miyuki is my hero. I love the freshman bullying, too much fun.

I feel that Satoru is gonna have god-like endurance by the end of this. Should help get him a starter position fairly quickly.

The first 2 episodes were great. I loved them.

Sadly, this third episode had the MC be a generic sports anime MC. He's late, he gets punished, he does worse than everyone else, then he has a big speech about how he's special, etc. Also, he's even more of a brat than earlier.

Yeah, it doesn't interest me anymore. There's nothing here that I haven't seen before.

What sports anime have you seen before that you think is better? I'm enjoying this show along with Log Horizon and Samurai Flamenco the most out of the anything else in this season. I'm interested to see the MC grow into a badass pitcher.

My fav sport anime are: Chihayafuru, Eyeshield 21 (manga is a lot better), Hikaru No Go, Beyblade G Revolution.

Not many, to be honest. I have seen no "traditional" sports anime, just some really specific fringe cases like Free!, Saki and Girls und Panzer(and C3-bu, if that counts as a sports anime). Maybe that just means that I don't like this stuff.

Still need to watch Chihayafuru, though.
