I'm so glad to be seeing this again. I was there for the thread(s) last year, and I didn't think that I would ever remember the date for this, or that someone would remind me here. So, thank you for bringing it and me back.

Ah koshien! The true spirit of youth!

I was in the thread last year too, but only the championship one I think? It really was like anime IRL, especially with that montage at the end.

What day is the championship, if you know?

Because it's the greatest sport irl

Here's the schedule:

Thank you.

I dunno, boxing comes close.

...

>that one ice hockey manga that will never being fully TL'ed
Baseball is fine though.

please watch our league

You can easily make it fit into a shonen-like format, given how little happens in the actual sport

Is this /bundes/?

Koshien is such great fun to watch every year. It's the summertime of youth, filled with beautiful human drama. On one side you have the ecstasy of triumph and the incredible joy of making history together with your trusted nakama. On the other, you have crushed dreams and the bitterness of regret, knowing that you tried so hard and got so far but in the end it didn't even matter. I especially love it when the losers tearfully scrape up commemorative dirt with an array of photographers snapping shots not a meter away, with audible sobbing in the background.

Who's the most broken Adachi Mitsuru protagonist?

They're doing the Yamato theme song!

No wait, it was actually Lupin

Now I'm confused

The dead ones

OK now they're doing the Yamato OP for sure.

UCHUU SENKAN YAMATOOOOOOOOO

...

nice hit.

EXPLOSION OF YOUTH and all that. Goddamn, that play.

this is your adachi love interest

AHHHHHHHHH

Ace pitcher will confess after the game

This is an amazing stomp. That catch, though, man.

oh shit what's this from, I know this song

nice steal!

Aim for koshien!

she's back

I feel extremely lazy watching this.

I feel energized!

Who's the good guy? Adachi is way easier to follow then this, I don't even know who to root for.

I need to learn moon. Fuck.
But I like how one of the teams are wearing the same colors as the Mets.

Just look up the prefectures and pick based on aesthetics.

>Asians and North Americans suck at Association Football
>'Mericans love shit sports
If the target market was Europe, Africa, South America, North America (excluding Canada and USA) or Australia, they would be playing Association Football (Soccer)

worried!

whoa holy shit

owari owari!

that fucking air horn always give me anxiety

Holy shit. That situation must have taken at least ten years off of the life of the pitcher. And maybe that outfielder, too. The entire game was potentially on the line there. And, with those extra fouls - Lord.

When's the ED going to play

tears of youth

MY NAKAMA!

>losers crying while bagging dirt
damn, at least they made it to the koshien

you should think about the batter, the entire game was in his hands

Up next is:
Matsusho Gakuen v. Tsuchiura NichiDai

True. All three of em, then.

was he the MC?

Does japan even like basketball or football?

>football
There's collegiate American football apparently. I'm surprised that any of them give a shit.

>Matsusho Gakuen
cute school uniforms

sumo manga/anime are a good time

this is the OP

is this the boring exposition commentators?

comfy

...

>tfw you will never take aoba to the koshien
just kill me now

...

...

which one of adachi's works is this girl from? I've read a ton of his stuff, but I can't seem to remember her

yeah, he's the goddam MC

cross post

nice hit

I guess you misspelled basketball, no worries, i gotchu senpai

oh boy time for tears

Great. Thanks for making me think about this.

Which Adachi manga should I reread Sup Forums?

sobbing continues

Up next:
Maebashi Ikuei v. Yamanashi Gakuin

Touch or H2

...

more yamato op

lupin theme again

WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU

damn, this game is another blow out

ive seen some huge comebacks.
6 lead is nothing.

That was just general retardation from the Kousei coach. That wasn't the first time they chocked hard because he refused to change pitchers.

massive turnarounds happen, they're highschool teams fighting for their lives in single eliminations.

Because it allows for the duel between pitcher and batter and since it's generally a low scoring affair you can skip condense a game to a few moments.

when are they gonna do cruel angel's thesis

more yamato op again!

you were saying?

Yes, big comebacks are more common than people would think even in the pro leagues.
However that game made me really upset, it was obvious from previous games that the ace wasn't in his best condition, the coach made him play from the seventh onwards and he just watched how the kid lost 7 runs and he did nothing.
Also I remember some years ago the ace of the same team literally melting down in the mound after going full 11 innings.
This kind of shitheads shouldn't coach in big teams, let alone coach at all.

Looks like it's from the one with only one chapter.

I always root for the underdogs!

sometimes they want to stay in to finish the job, a nice coach will let them see things through for better or worse. its something you will only ever get a chance to do in highschool after all.

It's back, gentlemen.

S3?

Their ways of cheering are always fun to watch.
