EPISODE REVIEWS
A wonderful showcase of psychological tension on a baseball diamond. The visual direction leaves the grand stadium views behind to focus on sweaty close-ups and wide, anxious eyes inside the dugout. The graphics highlight the cold, clinical look of a sports psychiatry office, underscoring Goro's deep frustration with his mental block
Oh, no, not again! This episode was hard to watch! The tone was helpless and depressing. I think all of these happening at one sudden drop; the pressure coming from the World Cup, rookie, no-hit history, and then the trauma — it's an emotional and mental battle and this fight can only be overcome by Goro himself. This moment where you wished Toshi was in that situation, though.
I don't even know what to feel anymore, man. Watching this makes my heart ache so much. But to be fair, Keene's actions may be extreme, but they're actually for Goro's sake. I'd rather see Goro hit rock bottom now than have him become useless forever. That said, this is exactly why I'm having such a hard time watching this episode. It's just heartbreaking to watch a character you love suffer.
