30 Day Oofuri Challenge (...in six days...)
Day 06: Favorite episode and why.
Season one, episode 25 is my favorite (is it bad that I really like the episodes that don't directly pertain to baseball? Well, I like them all in general though, except for the Haruna one.) That's the curry episode --the character interaction was pretty cute. It has one of my favorite scenes (see "Day 05" entry.)

Day 07: Least favorite episode and why.
Season one, episode 26. I really dislike Haruna. I know he's gotten better since his early years with Abe, but after everything that happened, he's still pretty hard to like. Last time I rewatched the series, I just skipped over the episode entirely.

Day 08: Your Oofuri crush(es).
I have a very unhealthy Hanai obsession, though I can't help but feel like I would want to smack him upside the head a few times if I ever met him in real life. He's pretty much my only "crush", but I do think well of Sakaeguchi and I like the idea of "pure maiden Mizutani" that's been going around among Oofuri fans.

Day 09: Your OTP(s) and why. (Canon or non-canon, doesn’t matter~)
Hanai/Tajima (or Tajima/Hanai), yeah. The semi-one-sided rivalry bundled with their reliance on each other as teammates is pretty nice, not to mention how Hanai is not-so-subtly a Tajima fanboy, lawlz. The fact that Tajima doesn't even seem to notice Hanai's feelings makes it all the better; they're just a really cute couple, haha.
Of course, I like Abe/Mihashi too --everyone else sees Abe as a nag, but Mihashi's the only one who thinks of it as, "He tells me what to do = he cares for me!" It's adorable. And I like Hamada/Izumi because you don't have to be the quarterback to date the cheer captain, lol.

Day 10: Favorite Mihashi moment.
This. Smile. Forever.
Also, I like the episode where Mihashi was running the bases and got caught (see Day 05).
