Posted: 13 May 2011 10:20 AM PDT

By the time this post was published, Moshidora have finished airing from NHK TV channel. Well, this is new culture in my anime watching scenes where the episodes was aired every day. Now let’s see what had happened in this 5 last episodes.

Too Much Of A Good Thing Will Be Bad

This saying always true to me no matter in what situation. In episode 6 there are too many freshmen joining the baseball club until it create a non-optimal environment for the existing members and also for other clubs which end up having not enough people to sign up into their clubs.

Minami tackle this problem by weed out the players that she assume does not suit into the baseball team and then ask a favor from Nikai to chase away the cut-out new members into other sport clubs. That’s just show how she’s a girl.

Change Captain

The existing captain decide to step down because his reason is that he want to concentrate on his own performance as players. The couch then choose Nikai as new captain. But I’m not sure if Nikai will also play or just serve a role as captain.

Minami Are Now Seriously Greed For Winning

After winning the first 3 games in the tournament, Minami went to visit Yuki. Yuki as kawaii as usual staying at her bed all the time. Poor Yuki. Yuki told Minami that winning and going to the final of the tournament does not important but Minami unexpectedly stressed that she wants the team to win no matter what.

Stealing The Base ~ I Remember How It Was So Much Fun Back Then

In episode 7, the inning were pretty tight. There’s a scene where Kutsuki were the first runner and try to steal the base cheered by Minami and other supporters.

Baseball is not just about pitching and batting. There’s a strategy where if you can’t hit the home run ball or your ball are not high enough or far enough to give you time to run into home base, your first priority is only to get to the first base.

But that’s not it. If you failed to steal a move into 2nd base, there’s big risk the next player will taken out or you will be taken out if you try to run to the 2nd base and the next batter’s ball are near to 2nd base. When the next batter are already on the first base you don’t have any choice other than trick the short stopper into the 2nd base. Remember as long as the ball don’t touch you you still safe.

You will be legendary if you can steal your way back to the home base with the next batter still have balls. I never did this but one of my friend did and our opponent pitcher was so tense and aiming to keep him out throughout the tournament.

Yuki Is Dying

What!? Yes, the most adorable by Minami was dying. No, she die, not breath in her anymore and Minami will never see her again. I never thought this will happen this way but reality just happen. The scene were tears jerking enough for me. I don’t know how about you guys but it sadden me that Yuki die.

Minami’s Reaction

Minami broke and say all bull shit about how she hate baseball and run away. But Ayano manage to catch her back and drag her back to the stadium. In the stadium that she realize how she can’t leave the team on their own and start cheering on them and make the team morale up once again.

Well, I know how it feel to lose someone so dear to me. Hence, I understand how’s Minami feels. But after the recovery time, I come back more better than before. Just like Minami.
