I love how at the end the D and Clint still hug it out bc it was just a friendly game, but dodger is still DEAD

"That's an illegal baseball! I could easily tell the ref... but this is an anime! SCREW THE LOGIC!!"

"It has a spinning gyroscope in the center, making it impossible to hit!" That also makes it impossible to catch...

Unrealistic : if this was an anime this whole match would have been split across 6 episodes. Also, no Bandai commercial for a replica baseball bat.

The Japanese pop music and photo montage at the end made it perfect.

I actually unironically enjoyed this

I don't know why, but now I'm really interested in Baseball

The character tropes, the dialogue, the comic relief moments, shot compositions, Sound design, VFX. All of it. Perfect. You guys have made a manga artist very happy today

This is perfect Smart dude explaining the evil artifact Sidekick that just asks questions Over the top reactions Effects And the grunt when the old guy gets hit badly Also the villain is too emo And why is D always the bad guy? Perfect anime

If tv baseball was actually like this... I’d buy a membership to ESPN.

the most accurate lifeaction anime version i have ever seen...

The story was soooo perfectly crafted and the visuals and sound were spot on. One of my fav videos I come back to from time to time. Love it

Holy shit this is officially one of the best things you guys have ever made

Dude, I need a full season of this like . . . now.

Even 3 years later. This is still the greatest vid they made. Need a part 2

Alternate title: Ace of diamond Netflix adaptation.

wait dodger died? for real? why. does my favorite character. ALWAYS. FUCKING. DIE.

This was truly, truly, outrageous.

god damnit i unironically got invested in a parody story I was hype when he noticed the switch I truly am Anime Trash

this CLEARS the ai attempts by miles

That is one of the most impressive CorridorDigital videos and narrative videos I have seen on KZfaq. Props to Sam and Niko, Wren and all other people who made this video happen. The sound design and score overall was phenomenal really complementing the brilliant pacing and visual style of the editing. Once again these guys continue to blow me away. Keep it up!

Did you just create a whole new genre of film.

I loved the dust flying when he swung his bat at 2:50 I love the little details

That was the best anime plot I've ever seen If this was a series, i'd probably watch it lmao

I didn't know I wanted this until I saw it.

Nice video senpais

1:46 After seeing the BTS, i finally notice the hp laptop baseplate

Well that doesn't make any sense! "Probably does in the manga!" -Ken Kaneki

Literally every anime cliche ever: Thoughts in mind, over the top reactions, moments that should happen in 3 seconds but take 10, way to dramatic all characters gasping, there's too much to name xD

You guys are really really, strangely, good at making live-action anime, GIVE US MORE!

Not going to lie i would watch this anime.

This is how real life anime looks like, lines everywhere

Red teams kills dodger. Blue team becomes friends with red team.

This is such an underatted corridor video. It's one of my favourites

D is just the perfect anime villain

Dude, that was literally spot on anime plot!😂😂 I'd watch the hell out of that show!😍👏 Like to pay respects to Dodger!👍

I'm DEAD *They're communicating! Now if I could only figure out what they're saying* *gets a strike* *...... AH*

*THAT'S A JUNK BALL THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES*

Glad to see this popping up again after their rock paper crossed blades video

Hold up. *THEY'RE ALL STAND USERS WHAT THE HECK*

This has more production value than most movies I've watched this year.

R.I.P Dodger He was a man... who did something, maybe IDK

this is so hard . underrated af at the same time . i liked every bit of this masterpiece. liked it .

2:08 That smile always makes my day!

To add more anime style, i think should focus more on the last hit scene, maybe add some flashback story while hitting the ball, few different angles while hitting back, few angles focusing the ball flying away and the crowd reaction watching the ball fly away, then maybe some silence slo-mo scene staring at the flying away ball, slo-mo throwing away the bat, the bat dropping on the floor slo-mo and start the home run.

You forgot the ancient spirit that possesses the main character.

Jonathan:- OMAE WA MU SHINDEIRU Hiramo Suka :- NANI!?!?

I’ve been binging old Corridor videos… and this one does not disappoint!!

This is so fake. There wasn't a single fanservice bath scene anywhere in the episode.

Anyone else reckons they should make a full length movie like this?

you guys nailed that so incredibly perfectly. When it cut to the quick graduation scene I lost my shit. And then proceeded to lose it further.

From a baseball lover: c+ basics are down but it looks like 12u house ball. From an anime lover: a+ all the energy was great! That first wide shot after the strikeout was perfect!

He believed in the heart of the balls. Wait, that doesn't sound right...

Meh, the manga was better.

I like how Dodger is mortally wounded and they just drag him off the field, no stretcher needed. "Gotta finish this neighbourhood rec league game - no time to care for our dying friend". Dodger presumably breathed his last all alone at the hospital while his buddies were celebrating on the field.

Niko glaring at Clint after the line "they better follow up with someone good if they wanna win" is one of the greatest cuts of all time

R.I.P Dodger ? - 2016 He was a good man that was apparently not very strong seeing as he couldn't survive a baseball

This is the kind of thing I missed from CD

0:41 when you order a plain cheeseburger but there’s a pickle

*wins one match of baseball* succeeds life on every aspect

Why was this the most amazing thing I've ever seen?

MY GOD! I forgot how fucking fabulous you guys are at this.... Also we need like 50 seasons of this now.

Unpredictable movments Impossible to hit Still ends up perfectly in the catchers glove every time with out him moving

I love the guys face when the first strike came up

RIP dodger he didn't dodge

(between innings) "This isn't even my final uniform" (Takes off hat puts on helmet)

When Clint was kneeling at dodgers grave I was dying of laughter

this had more emotional resonance with me than most hollywood movies.

READ THE MANGA FIRST PEOPLE !!

I would pay triple to see a movie in this style.

When corridor knew what anime was

I love how the still scenes at the end have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with what was shown before.

I guess you can say Dodger couldn't Dodge the ball.

This dub sucks. The original Japanese version is so much better.

Wow, it's almost like this is how Corridor should do their anime videos

I can''t believe they didn't do three different takes of the bat hitting the baseball, THE OPPORTUNITY WAS RIGHT THERE!

Oh my god that was so great

素晴らしい作品です！ 感動しました！

OH THAT’S A BASEBALL (That jojo scene where they play baseball in a video game)

You know gyroscopes make objects more stable, they don’t make them fly around like a crazy chicken

R.I.P. Dodger.

this is too accurate wtf

what's the most accurate thing is how the episode breaks into the outro song. like that's marvellous editing there

These vids have such good rewatchability gosh they need to make more of these

fuck that was good even for parady

I am the bone of my bat Steel is my body and baseball is my blood I have made over a thousand runs Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life Have withstood pain to strikeout many enemies Yet, those bats will never hit anything So as I pray, unlimited baseball.

0:41 had me dying 😂

Pretty accurate, except that before he hit the last ball there should be 1 episode of flashback on how he trained all this while up to that point.

Inaccurate, not enough trembling faces

Damn the live action ruined the Anime and Manga! They made Jonathan Nerdguy the main character when in the Anime and Manga it was Dodger! They completely skipped the high school formal dance scene which was a major point in the Anime where Dodger admits his love for Suki Meyashakiaway , the antagonist sister. also he didn't die! that blow only temporarily knocked a disk out of his spin resulting him being in a wheelchair for the 3rd and 4th Arc. which really strengthen the bond between Dodger and Johnathan Nerdguy. oh well, I heard they are going to do a reboot movie which will stick closer to the source material. it will be about Arcs 5 through 10 and have three parts! Arc 6 is where Jebediah Batswinger comes in, a big time fan favorite who uses two bats! it should come out year so I'm super hyped!!!!

It was pretty damn accurate at first, but then it turned into regular Smosh-esque anime parody, with little resemblance to most baseball anime to make feel like a genuine and clever pardoy video.

Why didnt this become a series, either doing more anime style sports or stories or continuing of the two ones you started? This is amazing!

this needs to be an actual anime 😂 I would watch dat shit

The crazy part is, that is basically anime!

This is my fav Corridor production!😜💪🏻

It would be cool if revealed the switch at the end. And realize that dodger is actually a GENIUS!

This is pretty accurate

Had to come back to this because it was pure gold

can we all appreciate the music and how hard it slaps

Getting big Samurai Champions vibes here. I know sports and baseball have been featured in a lot of other anime, but Baseball Blues is an incredible surreal episode.
