[suzy1332]

[kikkiuchiha23]

[BeforeGamingFailed]

@kikkiuchiha23 I wish they would license it... :c

[kikkiuchiha23]

@BeforeGamingFailed ya but they wont do it bec they dont make alot of money from it -.- so much for the poeple wanting it they need a new name bec there no fun anymore i did love them bec they did all new anime that came out but no more -3-

its so sad :( i still love the big windup

[BeforeGamingFailed]

@kikkiuchiha23 Yeah I watched it back in 2009 and just remembered what it was called, I don't like the sub version usually I watch in sub but this is brilliant as it is :c

[kikkiuchiha23]

@BeforeGamingFailed ya -3- but it sucks to see the english dub and then the next series in sub 

[Darkcat809]

This is my new favorite show! I love it!

[TheConcisive]

Tajima and abe! <3

[WWEUNIVERSE236]

Jeez Tajima has a lot of energy. xD

[korruption]

Wow this is like Hajime no Ippo with baseball.

[linkinparksownage]

[darkrose834]

I JUST WANT TO HUG MIHASHI!! >w<

[DemyxGod]

OMG THAT CHICKS VOICE IS CHICHI CANT GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!

[Mitzi12333]

[Mitzi12333]

This anime has made it to my top 5 animes of all time! Ive seen it 4 times now XDDD I just wish that they would dub the 2nd season!!! This is the ONE anime where i actually like the English dub MORE than the J-dub!!!!

[kaworuFanboy]

Woahwoahwoah Sakaguchi is Aaron Dismuke?! Oh gosh, Alphonse Elric's VA has grown up so much!!!

[nothingistrueAC]

@kaworuFanboy WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT NO WAY THAT CAN'T BE LITTLE ALPHONSE *check credits* HOLY SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT (oh btw sorry about the all caps rage but thats just...wow)

[candyrocks75]

@biggi3lue

[hiphopqueen]

Lmao 22:02 the dog!

I love this show so much! <3

[hungryzzful]

holly eye brows

[drzliltito]

6:12 MY BALLS!!!! xD

[LEGENDARYARCHANGEL]

@drzliltito u scarred me for life... i immagined her doing that to mine and my thoughts went from "shes hot" to "RUN AWAY NAO OR YOU WILL BE IN ETERNAL PAIN"

[drzliltito]

wtf is with them and their red cheeks?

[foxcat12]

i just love that dog!

[SilverHeartRae]

I've watched this anime two times now and still love Mihashi no matter how much I want to hit his head to make him stop crying. :)

[christina113704]

well, I just got into watching these kinds of series a little while ago. so i still don't know that much. -_-

[christina113704]

isn't Eyeshield football?

[FalseExodus]

@christina113704 Ya....duh?

[BeckaKing102]

I love this show!! if you like this show you should really watch Eyeshield 21!! Eyeshield 21 is about a football team. Mihashi reminds me of Eyeshield 21's main character Sena.

[Arvic1212]

some1 explain to me wat the similarity between eyeshield 21 and big windup.... i dont get it. I would never even think of that comparison. they're completely different. (give me explanation, i dont get it)

[shockazulo]

DAMN IMAGIN IF SHE SQICED YOUR BALLS

[krazyman159]

wow an eyeshield 21 moment

[krazyman159]

@krazyman159 or i should say DE JA VU

[Arvic1212]

@krazyman159 i watched eyeshield 21, -_- i dont see the similarity between big windup ep 1 and eyeshield 21 ep 1.... i mean the stories are COMPLETELY different, the only similairty is dat they were both..... bullied

[jordanism1]

imagine if she grabbed your balls lol

[jordanism1]

imagine if she grabbed your balls lol

[lKento]

this kinda remind me of eyeshield 21 but sena was good at running.

[TheDigimonAdventure]

2nd time watching so funny :D

[hirokido]

main character is a fagggg, but the catcher is cool i will watch

[MultiDonuts101]

this that maybe probably what the hell does that mean? lol

[NgBnie]

I love this anime... Greg Ayres is wonderful as Abe I agree. Sean Teague and Todd Haberkorn were great as well as Mihashi and Tajima. Heck the whole cast did a phenomenal job. I truly hope they get the other seasons. :)

[xxxemolover562xxx]

@NgBnie sasly funimation stated that they were not gonna get the second season due to low sales :( and i actually loved the dub because of abe's voice T^T

[animepunk1212]

Best sports anime ever! I love this I wish it was longer!

[animerocks091]

not being rcial or any thing but asian pepole sing better

[JayLegacy933]

Great Anime.

[JazzyLour1]

....Butch

[JazzyLour1]

fhfvdhjsgvsjhgf... Kaoru XD

[Katara7392]

"i wont play for a women" can someone say sexist

[CerMichael01]

@Katara7392 sexist

[Katara7392]

anyone thing her dog is dead at 4:26 or at least looks dead

[Saffy123100]

so..... hes gay yes?

[wolf000blood]

@Saffy123100 i hope so! :D

[figueroajohn974]

what is the name of the opening song?

[CerMichael01]

@figueroajohn974 says in the opening it says dramatic baseball bear

[bnkershaw]

Living For The Day

[marmik961]

The coach is so hot.

[IloveHamlet]

wow, I almost never watch dubs, but this one really impressed me so far!

[xxSasukattxx]

13:15 O_O Italy? O:

[kylochan]

hahah! LOL " dont get me wrong i think your a bit of a douche.." haha LOL! X3 i love this anime

[XKam3oX]

Mihashi reminds me of Canada from Hetalia lol

[Mitarashiboi]

Oh my God. I've never seen the japanese dub or knew anything about this series besides its a baseball anime. And... I'm so glad I kept this anime in mind to watch. Mihashi is fucking adorable. He's such a sweety, I LOVE his quirky social anxiety!! He's so sweet!! dsmb;ldbnfdbnf I'm loving this so far~~ <3

[KORuthless]

I think the coach just grabs any random bystander and forces them to join the team....

[Aurilove618]

haha i feel like at 22:00 and forward the coach would say "wanna be on top?" lmao! XD

[Timeforthaunted]

Hey look...it's Spike's DOG! Also... very good anime lol although the cat faces are annoying me a bit...but whatever..will continue to WATCH!

[Silverfire6357]

Hey, dubs pretty good!

[jayclaren2100]

wow i coulda sworn 0:20 it sounded like "Go back to T-ball bitch!" I'm just saying

[ChrisChiMusic]

I don't like how Mihashi is a pussy.

[mrtozo]

@ChrisChiMusic seriously its as if the creators made him a pathetic fag to garner sympathy from the viewers, but it just makes me despise him... grow some balls.

[pf91rodman]

They should've dubbed Major instead...

[waterbed12]

I play baseball but im not confident at 1st base mihashi plays baseball but not confident at pitcher i see a little of myself lol but...I LOVE THIS ANIME

[MultiGoldenPanda]

pause at 7:09 and look at hanai's face in the back

[toonfighter22]

Ad I will kill you! Let us watch peacefully! D:

[ToraRoo]

boy meets dream har harr

[KevinHeartRound]

"That's what am talking about! Big wind!"

I think that is kinda where the title came from.

[Daarkangel92]

Sooooooooo Fuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyy­yyyy!!!! Mihashi is hilarious!!!

[toulengher123]

i hate the ad they suck

[Rebedeb1a1walkin]

I love Abe!!!!

[PanicAtTheCavern]

Mihashi! T_T *flails and falls backwards*

[TheAZ126]

I thought this was gonna be boring because it's about baseball, but it's actually very interesting. I feel bad for Mihashi...and I hate his old teammates. >:(

[Rebedeb1a1walkin]

they all look like frogs o.O

[EponymousKid]

I'm honestly not too optimistic about a pitcher who needs a sundial to time his fastball.

[tocarress]

finally, a cartoon about baseball that's not aimed at young kids! :D

[paladincarvin]

You know, it's interesting to watch the cold opening to this episode after knowing about Mihoshi Academy. You can see how they all don't care... it's just like they had said. It's rather sad...

[sarahmsulima]

wow i didnt know i liked baseball until now XD

[Paranoia0204]

so funny hahahahaha

[UchanXD]

"Have multiple personality disorder try out for the Drama Club" :D

[ultrapro07]

i want to watch season 2, this is the third time i've watch this show in english, maybe the fourth, it's a good show, i just want to watch the second season, but they don't have one

[MilesTheWolfman]

"OOH! HOW ABOUT ME?! I WANNA TRY-" "Maybe next time, Tajima." "Yeah, well that sucks!" For some damn reason, I can't stop laughing at that. XD

[FujiwaraMotoo14]

I just noticed Isumi had short hair in the beginning..

[ShizukaTeyova]

lol Abe and Tachima are THE BEST characters in this show!!

[Ratel4000]

"I feel like hitting some dingers anyways"

"If you can really hit the ball the way you say you can, I'll beg you to stay."

Wow. owned.

[bomb3261]

for some reason i cried

[EvilDeathbolt13]

FUNimation makes everything look awesome....even school!

[ravester4]

@EvilDeathbolt13  likewise, but it's a little bit sad that they delete a few seconds of some scenes. >:(

[ultrapro07]

anyone pitcher would kill to have Mihashi's role, with his ability to get the ball where he wants it from all the practice he's had

[Filiger]

IS it sad that this is the most baseball i ever watched in my life

[ladymay101]

Mihashi's so cute, i just wanna hug him! XD

[animefan286]

"Don't get me wrong I think you're a bit of a douche." lmao xD

[jj2117]

gotta love izumi's sweater! :)

[librabeauty23]

"Do you have multiple personality disorder? Join the Drama Club!"

...sure ok...

[boejackman]

@librabeauty23 i do it

[iloveenvy123]

i love this there are some of my fav voice actors and plus Tajima is awesome i love him <333333333333

[MrTripleDots]

The script in this dub version is very well done. No matter how many times I watch this anime in English dub, I never get bored. I love the voices, the cast, everything but the script really stands out because it's so real and I haven't seen that on an anime before. I'm looking forward to an English dub of Season 2! Please consider making it :D

[beebobsoftball12]

Stupid ADS! i hate them

[ReiRiko]

I absolutely LOVE Greg Ayres as Abe <3 In the Jap dub Abe's voice sounds too old for a freshman in high school.

Mihashi's voice is more believable in the English dub as it has the vocal maturity of a high school boy. In the Jap dub the voice is just too high that it almost sounds like a girl. I mean, who sounds like that in HIGH school?!

If you ask me the English dub is superior to the original. The scripting, casting and voice acting was spot on. THUMBS UP FOR A 2ND SEASON ENGLISH DUB!

[dumbeetle1]

@ReiRiko Japanese people tend to have a higher voice.

[MegaPopcorn55]

this suks because it doent work and it has a game of snake

[vballaddict123]

Dont get me wrong i think you are a bit of a duche...lol

[MasterShot2k5]

Okay, I am very surprised that nobody commented on Maria's boobage yet. Just throwin that out there.



[TheNo1pencil]

okay, normally i dislike ads, but that was the best norton ad EVA!

[kagome123451]

XD Also, "What do you mean pretend!? I seriously wanna go to this shit!"

[number1Otakuchannel]

i think i like this im gona giv it a try! ^^

espeshaly since i dont know anything about baceballl we dont play it were i come from

[weabro]

I'm really not liking the character designs. They look more frog/fish-like than human.

[smugami]

Abe's a bit of a douche XD but those two get pretty close, especially in the second season :3

[kagome123451]

@smugami BWOH!? THERE'S A SECOND SEASON!? Funimation let it slip that there was gonna be a second season, but did you read the manga, or something? XD Abe is a douche, but we all love him anyways :)

[smugami]

@kagome123451 There's been a 13 episode second season already aired in Japan, not sure if FUNimation has licensed it yet. I'd bet on there being a third season too :3

[YaoiAngel00]

I LOVE you for putting this up THANK YOU!!

[Joh447]

lul i'm not too much into baseball... but i think- no i like this anime :D

[MangaMakerRen]

[Electroguy1]

[lastyoyoalive]

[YaoiFanGirlForever]

@TheSolaRei hey



[YaoiFanGirlForever]

@TheSolaRei This is not letting me post a link so i'll just send it through a message.

[SketcherInDaRye]

Mihashi's voice is kinda wierd o.O anyone else agree? >.<

[SketcherInDaRye]

[DreamstoneX]

[HieclexsXiii]

I watched this a couple of years ago, I only watched 3 eps before giving up (I enjoyed it but my internet was too slow) Now I can't remeber if I watched it in jap or english. ahha I love this show!

[iCov3rSongs]

[pf91rodman]

[nylak13]

I start thinking of Scouts from Team Fortress 2 whenever I watch this.

[Sleyer07]

are they gay?

[backtolbc]

fuck these commercials

[TheMrPwnster]

1:04 first orgasim

[BananaChii]

"Don't get me wrong, I think you're a bit of a douche."

ohlol

[EX1515]

at 7:25, Abe and Izumi look kinda alike. If Izumi would of kept his hair shorter, I would of had a harder time telling those 2 apart. But Abe's personality helps him stand out.

[potatolovinfreak10]

What the hell is u pwith Abe's vioce?! It's all....not manly.

[dbzrkyyh]

Thanks Funimation for supplying me with anime since 1998!

[xoxkuroshitsujigrell]

u can never break up hikaru and karou lol

[sayuri77momo]

Is this a Shonen Ai? some say yes some say no. Im wondering.

[labuser05]

@sayuri77momo It shouldn't be, but It gives off the impression that it is...

[LittelRedFromThaHood]

idk if anyone else agrees with me but i think Mihashi looks better in his his old uniform idk i like the blue on him haha i like it better but o well

[89crazul]

Dear advertisement: Your timing fucking blows

[pjk46431]

ourmanga.com you will love if you love anime. XD

[pjk46431]

i love this

[cateattingmonster0]

I cann't believe funimation decided to quit making 2nd season of big windup. I bought 1st season and It was awesome. I never knew that baseball is such a interesting sports.

[hirchert42]

i cant stop staring at the coaches huge tits!!!!!!!! o.O

[Titanic141912]

I don't like baseball in general, but when sports are in Anime,  I tend to like the anime. :D

[C0SM1CG4TE]

The Grandpa Sounds Familiar .-.

[PhilliFlippy]

i never thought i wud ever like sports anime but this is great!!!!!!!!!! it makes baseball not seem boring.lol and theres somme parts that make u think mihashi is gay XD LOL

[MrSteven145]

only takes anime to make baseball look cool.........man got to love FUNimation.

[KratoSalza]

@MrSteven145 baseball looks cool no matter what

[mnmluvme]

dont get me wrong, i think your a bit of a doug... lol

[xxWatchTheSkiesxx]

I just bought the second part to this without watching the first....whoops.

I love you Funimation!! :D

[Icytorvo963]

This and Hajime no Ippo are great. Sub is better Hajime, Dub is pretty damn good in this, but god is Mihashi annoying. It's so distracting XD. Both are must see's though.

[Icytorvo963]

Man i like Sean Michael Teague for vocing Koenma, but GOOOOOOOOOOD do i hate mihashi's voice in this XD

[raigekimaru]

Mihashi is Koenma's voice from Yu Yu Hakusho! =)

[Quy4life]

I hope they don't run into Honda Goro at the Koshien. hahahaha

[crzygeorge101]

@Quy4life lol haha good one ! ^^ ive also seen touch and cros game there dangerous opponents too ^^

[naruthenarcicist]

@Quy4life or Keiichi Aniya ;D

[Quy4life]
