EPISODE REVIEWS
Emotional character growth anchored by a beautiful, expansive outdoor landscape. The visual direction utilizes stunning wide shots of the stadium outfield basking in the evening sun. The peaceful, natural afternoon sunlight offers a comforting backdrop as Goro's old confidence finally sparks back to life on the diamond.
PEAK! Probably the first time I had goosebumps! Grr! This ep was the second emotional one that I have watched since S1. It was a slow but meaningful start as Gibson's past struggles, strong mindset, and true heart were conveyed. Dr. Oliver was the best heroic support ever! Perfect animation and Goro's cap! He's now learning to hype the crowd, as I have the hunch of what Hideki told him before. The music was a chef's kiss in that iconic scene! PERFECT!
This is such a thrilling episode! The story is amazing and touched me deeply. My favorite scene was definitely Goro's fan. Who would've thought that old man, despite his minor role, would leave such a huge impact on me? Simply amazing. That said, I've got to give credit where it's due to the craftsmanship. What made this even more engaging for me was the BGM. It even made me tear up a little as I watched Goro finally pick himself up.
