Ace of Diamond

the manga should've ended until we saw Sawamura in college or in pros having pitching duos against Furaya

Anybody else hoping for this? The only reason I have hope is because Netflix picked up kurokos basketball and gave it a dub. I was thinking maybe it could be the same for daiya. I’d love to watch it with people who aren’t that into anime but might be into baseball to corrupt them🤩

Which mange ending left you more satisfied: Ace of Diamond or Be Blues or Baby Steps?

I finished haikyuu and then Started with Ace of diamond !! I’m starting with last season and I want to take this season slowly so that I could avoid the void feeling cause I’m really attached to the characters ! So please recommend me some animes like these two

Tbh I watched haikyuu recently and it was so damn good I needed another sports anime …. So is Ace of diamond worth … what should I expect!

I just got done watching Haikyuu and it was soo damn good, I loved how the overall story perfectly synchronizes with the main cast, and how natural and great the vibe is with them in general, I loved this anime and very excited for the future of this series.

Kuroko's Basketball was somehow better when it came to some of the matches; I'm a sucker for full battle shounen so Kuroko already ticked a number of my boxes with it's Zone state, and how crazy the matches feel sometimes, It's definitely better than Haikyuu when it came to the insanity of the match, but as an overall, Haikyuu was much more superior with it being a better all around package, I though KB lacked a bit on the characters side.

With those out of the way, I've seen some talks of Ace of Diamond. Specifically mentioning how it fares evenly or perhaps exceeds Haikyuu. This was very interesting to see, so I came here to ask what do you guys think of it , and should I give it a chance?

Before I watched Ace of Diamong I always thought Haikyuu was the best sports anime but boy was I wrong. Ace of diamond is amazing and the way everything is executed imo is top notch. From the players to the content of action has me of my feet. It's become my favorite sports anime.

I'm looking for an anime that will give me the same feel.

The ones that come close are Blue Lock, Haikyu and Big windup.

One where the school is actually very good and its competitive. Most sports anime focus on schools that aren't so great and work to become great but I'm looking for something like Ace of Diamond where the environment is super competitive.

Ones that I've watched/watching or reading -Haikyuu -Big windup -Blue lock -Slam dunk -Ahiro no sora -Kuroko No basket -Prince of tennis -Free -Yuri on Ice -Baki (if considered one lol)

Please help me and thank you!

I would not be here making this post if I didn’t feel that this series is criminally under represented in the world of sports anime suggestions. In my opinion it nails almost everything that quintessential sports anime can deliver:

-It is the best series Ive watched at informing the viewer of the finer/lesser known points of the sport

-The cast is diverse and makes you love other teams

-The animations is incredible (Act two gets patchy but still fine)

-The hype is as hype as it gets and it is the best sports anime at building tension IMO and it’s not even close

-The comedy actually makes me laugh and I rarely laugh at anime humor.

I could not have cared less about baseball until I watched this and now I’m getting more informed on the game. Binged all 75 episodes of act 1 in 3 days and tore through act 2. Then I went to YouTube and found little to no reactions of the series and I haven’t heard much love in the anime subreddits I follow.

I’m just genuinely confused how such a competent and long running series can fly so under the radar, especially with Haikyuu being so popular.

This series is more than qualified to scratch that Haikyuu itch and I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I think it outperforms Haikyuu in a couple ways.

DISCLAIMER: The first 10 or so episodes, much like many sports series, are not the peak of the series and the show gets better as time goes by. Also, it helps to have at least a surface level understanding of baseball, but it’s definitely not necessary.

there no news of it, but with 200+ chapters left, and if they want to milking it, can it be splited?

of course final against Inashiro would be separated (Initial D style i presume)
