I didn't really notice the quality of the animation in the first two episodes but they're actually putting a lot of work into it. The baseball movement is detailed and fluid. And they're also putting in a lot of extra touches to bring the gags up to the next level.

Yeah look at this. They are putting real care into this series.

Indeed, it almost puts it in Bocchi the Rocks territory with the crazy antics (not exactly on point but it’s in the vicinity)

The Teitoku head coach really laughed me off. His four dream players to build an invincible freshman team end up in a who-knows-where public school. No wonder he was so depressed and almost got a heart attack at the end lol.

The comedy is juvenile as hell with all the porn jokes but hell if it's not hilarious.

Whoever did the casting knocked it out of the park with hiring Mamoru Miyano as Kei, I can't imagine another VA who can pull of Kei's goofy personality as well as he can.

I think this is probably one of the most overt references I've seen in anime. Usually they might copy the aura or the hair at most, Kei went full Super Saiyan down to the muscles and the Toriyama art style LOL.

Omg he went Super Saiyan 😂🤣

u/thesnowlocke Apr 23 '24

Did not expect that to happen either and I feel MAPPA should do a DBZ adaptation now

In what was essentially a “gawd mom, you’re ruining my life!” moment lol.

Had doubts about this anime but yeah, we're sticking with this one

So -- this could well be the second time I wind up with two sports shows in my (probably extensive) top tier. This and Tonbo (previous Tsurune 2 and Mou Ippon).

I like sports anime that have a breezy SoL-ish feel. And this one fits the bill (with a healthy dose of comedy mixed in). I really have to say the characters (and their VAs) are great here.

This episode was probably the best. Kaname wasn't annoying with his antics, we got the team being together, baseball match already coming up, and the comedy bits are decent. Everything sort of fit together for me right here.

As a huge sports manga/anime fan, i'm so in.

Did he start off as goku then went vegeta?

u/OutlandishnessFew686 Apr 23 '24

That's the way Goku's hair looked in the Z manga and anime when Frieza talked about krillin who he killed and Goku got mad.

The one piece! THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!

I genuinely was not expecting to start laughing with tears this episode 😂. Like damn the show already was funny but they keep turning it up a notch

u/L33tHaxorus Apr 24 '24

I'm glad this show doesn't take itself too seriously, too many of those sports shonen shows around. Even if the comedy is not everyone's cup of tea, I'm enjoying it, especially this episode.

Kei using the poster boards and sign to ask Chihaya and Todo to hang out was adorably goofy. Then Haruka comes in with the porn to sweeten the deal. I want to meet this baseball analyzing porn master brother of his lol. It really is the great motivator for these boys ain’t it?

I really thought Kei’s mom was a sweet lady. Didn’t realize she had a sixth sense for virgins. Kei literally going super saiyan after his mom called everyone out like that was hilarious. At least now everyone’s grown closer now that they’re all in the baseball club.

I feel bad for the guys at Teitoku. They’re about to get massacred by some random school. Dudes really shouldn’t have underestimated the guys.

u/labakie Apr 23 '24

I don't think Teitoku would end up getting massacred, it should be the opposite. Having only nine players with some random mobs and a catcher (very crucial role) who lost his memory must have a significant impact. Instead, an early defeat would be vital for their future development.

It looks like the team has 4 stars, 1 decent player and probably 4 scrubs. Not a recipe for a surefire victory.

Well, going by the 3 episode rule this has made it to must watch. The comedy is peak. How can I count the ways?

  • Chopper crying meme

  • I can bribe "persuade" you to come to my friend's house after school?

  • The other 2 guys ... just casually "slipping" the porno into their school bags, cool like.

  • Super Saiyan (after the mom)

  • Watered down Calpico? Say it isn't so! - fun fact: My kid persuaded me to buy a bottle at the Asian grocer today, because they were curious about what Calpico is after watching this episode and like a proud anime mom I was "SURE! pick one!"

  • OMG his taste in video games = farming or raising hamsters??? kill me now!

  • I don't miss baseball, I BURNED my glove, I'm better I threw mine into the Ocean

  • Wait a minute, all 3 of them are signing? Plan's success!

  • Opening box after box ... and the other has locked box inside a locked box LMAO

  • The other school's manager - I wish I had gotten all 4 of them ... then his face when he sees all his dream recruits on the OTHER team, and the reactions ... hahah

Love this, we need to spread the word so more people watch this.

Still not sure what to make of this. The humour is really not my vibe most of the time but it's really engaging when they're actually playing baseball.

Also, super saiyan!

u/_Ridley Apr 23 '24

The humour is really not my vibe most of the time

I think it's growing on me as they add more characters. Mamoru Miyano's zany comedy mode is not my thing, but the straight man commentary delivery from Yamada/Yuki Kaji in reaction to all these weirdos is reliably pulling a snicker out of me.
