haha yes the anime will get to the best stuff and fandom will get to the bed stuff. It always does.
Daiya did turn really flat. After awhile I wanted to shove a baseball in Sawamura's mouth every time he appeared on screen. It felt inevitable though given the cast started HUGE. It took me most of the first season to realize a character I'd thought was one person was actually 2 with kinda similar character designs.
I think I might've heard of Crossgame but forgot about it. I'll have to check it out whenever I decide to try another baseball series. I didn't watch Daiya for ages because it felt like cheating on Oofuri, ha. I hope between that, SD, and Chihayafuyu I find a new series to dig.
HnG is so phenomenal. She knew how to make us connect with a group, move on, but not forget about them later on. I should reread it sometime. Agree with you both on HQ's crazygood animation budget and that the manga art isn't as good as it used to be. I feel like the faces look different but can't pin down how. I hope they continue doing the anime. The manga isn't very far ahead so I worry it'll run out of material or get stuck with filler. I'm such a sucker for good animation but it's so rare.
wooooooo social media with actual discussion!
