We learned last November that the Ace of Diamond manga from Yuji Terajima is coming back for another anime run in 2019 as it adapts the Ace of Diamond Act II manga. With Crunchyroll having simulcast the previous work in this franchise it’s not a surprise to see them step up to plate here with the latest incarnation. The streaming service has revealed that they’ll be bringing out the series on April 2nd, 2019 at 5:55 am ET for their members. Availability is strong as it’s open to viewers worldwide outside of Asia.
The main cast is returning from the previous work with Ryota Ohsaka as Eijun Sawamura, Nobunaga Shimazaki as Satoru Furuya, Takahiro Sakurai as Kazuya Miyuki, Yūma Uchida as Kōshū Okumura, Shintarō Asanuma as Yōichi Kuramochi, Natsuki Hanae as Haruichi Kominato, Shunsuke Takeuchi as Yūki Masashi, and Daiki Yamashita as Takuma Seto.
The manga comes from writer/artist Yuji Terajima who began the work back in 2006 in Weekly Shonen Magazine. The anime adaptation is produced by Madhouse and Production I.G.

Series concept: I want to pitch to that mitt again… A meeting with catcher Kazuya Miyuki changed the 15-year-old Eijun Sawamura’s life. He said goodbye to all his friends and knocked upon the door of Seidou, a prestigious baseball school, intent on testing his own strength. There, he met many proud baseball players who were betting everything on the sport! A classic tale, yet new and fresh. All the emotion and excitement of the popular baseball manga is, at last, coming to television in the form of an anime!
