The Animedia magazine is revealing on Thursday that the Ace of Diamond: Second Season television anime series will end on the show's 51st episode on March 28. The show has just aired its 48th episode last Monday. The magazine is also revealing the titles of the last three episodes: "Mattero!" (Wait for Me!), "Last Inning," and "Seek Diamond," respectively.

The new season premiered on TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Hokkaido, TV Setouchi, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting on last April, and airs every Monday in the 6:00 p.m. time slot. Other channels are also airing the new season, and Niconico and other services are also streaming the anime. Crunchyroll is streaming the anime as it airs in Japan.

Crunchyroll describes the story:

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!

The story of Yūji Terajima's original manga begins with Eijun Sawamura (Ryota Ohsaka), a pitcher who joins an elite school with a brilliant catcher named Kazuya Miyuki (Takahiro Sakurai). Together with the rest of the team, they strive for Japan's storied Kōshien championships through hard work and determination. The anime also stars Hiro Shimono as Norifumi Kawakami, Hiroki Touchi as Tesshin Kataoka, Masakazu Morita as Kōchirō Tanba, Nobuyuki Hiyama as Kyokuni Azuma, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Shinji Kanemaru, and Yumi Uchiyama as Rei Takashima.

New cast members in the second season include: Sōma Saitō as Taiyō Mukai, Daiki Yamashita as Takuma Seto, Akira Ishida as Hisashi Watanabe, Kenichi Suzumura as Nao Matsubara, Jun Fukuyama as Shinichirō Masu, Subaru Kimura as Tsunematsu Ogawa, and Fukushi Ochiai as Kōji Tamaki.

The first Ace of Diamond anime season premiered in 2013 in Japan, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired. The manga also inspired an original anime DVD in November 2014, and two more are slated for this year.
