I’m enjoying this season just like last season. I liked a lot of the new characters too! I think they did a great job of building the story and adding a few new elements from the first season.
It took me a while to get used to the new team, but I like them. I still really miss the third years but I’m glad they show up occasionally.
In the first season, I liked Mei but thought that he was way too cocky. I wanted their team to lose so he could get a second humbling, but that didn’t happen. They lost nationals, but he wasn’t as hard on himself. They did really well but again he was overconfident before the finals. He really got a cold and blunt wake up call from the coach during their first fall game. I was shook with every word he said, but it’s true. It doesn’t matter that the t…

History: 8.5
In retrospect in a show that fulfills its mission very well, it continues with what was agreed upon since its first delivery and although it feels like a repetitive process in some way, it is what this type of sports series demands and "DnA" takes it I ended up in a very gratifying way giving great meetings and pending promises that manage to pay off, so I don't have much more to say about this point, it fulfills its function in a gratifying way
Art: 9.25
On the animation side, the colors have been one of the great attractions that Diamond no Ace proposes even since its prequel, and this time it maintains the same level or even I am encouraged to say that it surpasses itself, giving rise to great plays and emotional moments that transmit to the viewer
Sound: 7.75

Comparing to season 1, this season has improved a whole lot. Sawamura finally became useful. If you like Miyuki then this is the season where he shines the most. There were some epic moments here and there as well as touching moments. What I do not enjoy however, is the episode where Seido had to compete against a school with many bulky school member. I know for a fact that the author is trying to make it as a challenge that Seido had to overcome, however, it made it seem like the author is encouraging violence in sports. I can elaborate more but it can be seen as a spoiler so I'll just say the things that the other school did, the other school coach and the umpire at that time just really encourages violence. I really hope Seido doesn't meet that team ever again in the future.

Holy hot damn, this anime just keeps surprising me. I'll tell you what, the end of this season had me so stressed that my heart was beating as though I'd just run the mile. I'm gonna try to keep this review short because my review of the first season was pretty through in explaining why this anime is so good, but I'm gonna hit some of the points that got better for me this season or things I noticed more.
This go around, I was really able to appreciate how the music was working to further the plot. I don't believe the main pieces were changed too much, but they were used just as well. You can perfectly understand what's going on in the story just through the music, and that's really special. It's even better when the plot follows suit and then completely switches gears immediately after.…

⠀⠀So of course I loved season two of DNA it's my 3rd favorite sport anime! And season 2 just made everything better, with Seido getting they're ticket to Nationals!
My favorite part of season 2 was when Sawamura stroke todoroki out, after 2 innings he hit it. Because it's showed how all that practice paid off, and it was the best feeling seeing Sawamura grow stronger! Overall Seido was still Seido which is the best Seido. Some of the upcoming new teammates were introduced but hardly having any screen time. I also had a bitter sweet smile watching the 3rd years graduate, bc the other years wouldn't gotten they're where they almost got last year without them.
⠀So again ofc the animation was great I mean Production I.G and MADHOUSE, duh. There's some awkward things but that's just because o…

Since you came to read the reviews of the 2nd season i assume you ve already seen the 1st. (if not, well you are a bit of an oddball)
The 2nd season starts off with the defeated team that didn't manage to go to nationals. At first, it's rather normal for everyone to be sad about the 3rd years leaving because they were all extremely interesting characters, and it makes you wonder, is the 2nd season gonna be good without them ? Well yes it is! Even though the about to retired 3rd years aren't at the scene much, other characters get more scene time and a deeper character development. When watching the new team i wondered "was this guy always here?" but after awhile you cant imagine the season without the new characters.
This season puts more depth to the players emotions, instead of only po…

The 2nd season for Diamond no Ace keeps the hope of winning a ticket to national tournament alive!
Story: Like almost every sport anime I have seen the goal is very simple indeed. (Baby Steps, Prince of Tennis) Still the story keeps surprising by different factors which are common in real life, not everything can go as planned. This is exactly why Diamond no Ace gives this refreshing "slice-off" life feeling. Even though the story isn't that awesome, they manage to perform so well. Main protagonists are pitcher Sawamura Eijun, Furuya Satoru and catcher Miyuki Kazuya, but because of this is about baseball a team sport we will also watch how other players will grow as a players. Story pacing is very good, individual elements like slice of life amazing! Especially the moments where pitcher w…

Following this series for two years, left me devastated when I knew my Monday will go on without a new episode of this series.
Ace of Diamond : Second Season has proven to me the art and meaning of Japanese High School Baseball or kokoyakyu since the story resolved around it. It was the continuation of the first season, when the boys and the new team struggles their way to perform in Koshien that they failed to do during the summer. The main drama of this season is somewhat more personal and we get to see and learn more about the bunch of old and new characters of this series. In this series, we also get to see more of the realistic kokoyakyu side and how 'youth' really is portrayed here from the friendship, rivals, worries, improvement, determination and hard work. The story has became m…

No spoilers...
You're probably thinking of an 7/10 a bit of a low rating, but I'm taking in the account of 5/10 being an average. That, I consider an exceptional score. I also currently follow MLB (Major League Baseball) and used to play baseball. I just want you to keep all that in mind.
I first thought the 2nd season will be like the 1st season, this was going to be a long drag and have a pretty cliche/predictable story. This is considering having to go through the previous season’s 75 episodes, but still enjoyed it enough for the nostalgia and epic moments.
Boy, I was so wrong.
For sports anime, there always the main team's goal to win nationals or blah blah blah, win the tournament. However, for this one, that wasn't really solely that goal. I can't give away anything (cuz spoilers…

There are no spoilers in this review. My rating system counts story for 30% of the total, characters as 30%, art as 20%, and 20% for the sound.
I give this anime a 7.1 and I'll tell you why. For those looking for a brief summary, skip to the “Overall” at the bottom of this review.
Story: 6
The story is literally about a pitcher who needs to overcome his yips (yes same exact thing as Major) in order to pitch and steal the ace number from his rival. I can’t really give the story a higher rating than 6 simply because it’s nothing new. I suppose the reason I’m giving this as high as a 6 is because despite the unoriginal storyline, I was hooked and eagerly awaited each new episode as it came out. If there was even a little romance involved than I might have given it a 7.
Characters: 7

Starting this series was an impulsive decision, but I don’t regret it. Even though I’ve never watched a real baseball game and the sport is non-existent in my country, I quickly grew to like it.
*Contains NO spoilers*
Characters - 8/10
Its dynamic characters are Diamond no Ace’s (DnA) strong suit. They're all unique - in character design, personality, and purpose. I fell in love with most of them from the first season and that didn't change during this one. The plot makes you admire the players' efforts and camaraderie.
The start of this season was bittersweet for me because the Third Years (who I loved and named my cats after) left. Was I worried that DnA: Second Season wouldn't be able to fill the resulting hole in my heart? Yes. Did it compensate for the loss by doing something that…

Diamond no Ace, a name that might not be heard as frequently as other largely popular sports shows out there. And that has always dumbfounded me. A show doing everything right, also up there as one of the best in its genre, yet still never has broke through the locks and that is evident with the relatively small amount of members it has on MAL compared to other popular sport shows.
A collaboration of Madhouse and Production I.G., two of arguably the greatest ever studio's in this industry. With loads of experience behind them and even highly in the sports genre (Madhouse: Hajime no Ippo, One Outs and Chihayafuru. Production I.G.: Haikyuu!!, Kuroko no Basket and Prince of Tennis) coming together for the first time. And it was a long runner at that, so you could always expect them to delive…
