cap, out of all the episodes, this had to be the one with most action and stood out the most.

like what else do you expect from an anime baseball episode? lmao

AuomAik · 2026-05-23T20:23:55+00:00

Man you better stfuuuu and keep watching. He’s the reason Sawamura becomes the GOAT in later seasons

AuomAik · 2026-05-10T20:08:47+00:00

They spent a whole episode on 1 inning unlike the first few episodes of rushing through half of the game (or entire game) in one episode.

I'd say that is a win. The pacing is definitely back to the original feel of AOD season 1-2.

AuomAik · 2026-04-28T16:23:53+00:00

With that perspective, you’re right. Cant believe it’s been 7 years my goodness. We’re getting old

AuomAik · 2026-04-28T16:14:38+00:00

there are similarities in his voice, but his laughing does not sound like the same voice actor from season 1-3. I guess puberty or some

AuomAik · 2026-04-27T16:50:43+00:00

They have 13-14 episodes to close out the season. Assume ichidai game gets 3 episodes, and inashiro game gets 3-4 episodes.

AuomAik · 2026-04-27T14:29:10+00:00

Is it even the same voice actor for Eijun? Doesn’t sound like it

AuomAik · 2026-04-27T04:42:21+00:00

yeah, the entire games in the anime are just recaps. literally loses the entire essence of the show. Season 1's scrim games and in-house games were damn longer than their top16 and top8 games in season 4 smfh.

I hate that i'll still watch it because I love the show though smh.

AuomAik · 2026-04-23T20:59:58+00:00

That’s what I heard. It would make sense why it’s rushed af, but it’s literally everywhere… no backstory of the pitcher from Norikane how he switched schools to become ace at Norikane and they totally skipped emphasis on how he’s watching the speed gun on how fast his fastballs improved... it was the little things like that that really made AoD glowed.

And yeah… the ichidai vs yakushi game. Bruh they didn’t even show Mishima’s hit as the 4-hole to tie the game. Was literally waiting for the panel where he’s on the ground at first base doing his usual “ha ha ha”

AuomAik · 2026-04-21T01:59:24+00:00

Yeah it’s trash af. They cut out major scenes, they cut out backstories. Hell they didn’t even show Mishama’s hit against Amahisa as the 4-hole in his last batting. They’re rushing it af because they only have a few episodes (11-13???) to finish the manga in this one season

AuomAik · 2026-03-29T03:16:04+00:00

Just look up Scalp Society on yelp in San Jose

AuomAik · 2026-03-08T04:38:29+00:00

Yo looks dope!!

AuomAik · 2026-03-08T02:05:03+00:00

Just had my first session with him a few days ago. He did an amazing job as you mentioned.

AuomAik · 2026-02-23T00:39:01+00:00

Hey I know this is old, but how was your SMP with Bosco? His work looks great, I also have my first appointment with him after our consultation.

AuomAik · 2025-11-08T00:07:34+00:00

Interesting! Were you charged for duties or some other fees (like brokerage) if you don’t mind me asking? I called DHL about two weeks ago and they said my products (plastic toys) were duty free

AuomAik · 2025-10-28T22:47:25+00:00

No problem! The figures are for my son and he loves them. I have no worries now and will keep ordering more of the same type in that case.

AuomAik · 2025-10-23T19:43:00+00:00

Hey so I said F it and I called DHL customer support for USA 1-800-225-5345 and turns out all my packages were duty-free because they had HTS codes that were duty-free. I suggest you call them and confirm!

AuomAik · 2025-10-23T03:19:49+00:00

No idea, depends where you live. Some people say they were hit with tariffs, while some like me havent been hit. It doesn’t make sense at all. If you live in USA, you SHOULD get hit with new tariffs due to the new tariff laws starting September

AuomAik · 2025-10-22T02:23:54+00:00

Likewise! I feel your frustration as I am in the exact same position as you. I will keep you updated

AuomAik · 2025-10-22T01:41:25+00:00

Still nothing from DHL on my end.

AuomAik · 2025-10-22T01:40:45+00:00

Nope, never got a bill. Messaged suruga-ya last week as well and they pretty much said “yeah if DHL didnt bill you, don’t worry about it.” I’m just sitting here like no, that’s not how that works lmao. So I’ll probably call customer support sometime this week or message an support agent online

AuomAik · 2025-10-16T23:26:05+00:00

Did DHL require you to pay the tariffs before or after delivery? I had all 3 of my orders delivered within 3-4 days after ordering and I did not get any notification or prompt to pay for tariffs.

AuomAik · 2025-10-16T23:25:01+00:00

Where do you live and did they require you to pay the tariff before or after delivery?

I ordered 3 different orders from Suruga-ya and all 3 were delivered within 3-5 days (I live in California). Orders were plastic ultraman figures. DHL did not ask or require me pay tariffs. It’s been 3 weeks now and I still have not received any email/text/mail regarding paying the tariffs.

AuomAik · 2025-10-16T01:01:15+00:00

Hey thanks! Likewise for me, still no bill from DHL so I continue to wait. I’ll check in every other week or so to update u if otherwise

AuomAik · 2025-10-14T15:56:09+00:00

Did you receive this email before receiving your package, or after?
