Not bad at all. Not very original but that nice old fashion sport feeling. Personally i like the artwork.
It seems it will be a decet show. And damn that scouter woman has a nice pair. She's so fine. I know why they chose her to go and convice teenage boys to join their school, lol.

Anyway lets see how it develops although i have to say you wouldn't caught me dead watching real baseball. This sport is only good in movies and anime.

I shouldn't have watched this after KnB, I find it simply... boring and MC too typical, wasn't even funny (to me)

I'll give it one or two more episodes to see if it can entertains me at least a bit, but if not...bye bye


Not bishounen enough for you?

Ah, that cliffhang. I was suppose to sleep after this episode, now how am I going to do that now?! Tsk. Honestly, the art isn't something new, so I hope the story would make up for it.

Been meaning to start this for a while now and finally got the time to watch.

Haven't ever seen a baseball anime & well don't like baseball tbh but hope I'll like this.

With 50+ episodes mainly watching this for the character development aspect>sports aspect (not that I don't like the sports aspect of this).

Also really like Sawamura's personality,and Ryota's voice is plus really fits Sawamura's character.

Was about to drop it coz it just feels generic but finshed the whole episode anyway and I kinda like it tbh.

Art is good. animation just normal.

Its a little too dramatic. going full blown shounen on us lol. Gettin tired of that so its gettin to me a bit but when those bits calm down its much more enjoyable. hopefully they'll cut it down.

Music is nothing special. a little overwhelming tbh. on the dramtic side too.

Def will watch episode 2.

Started the series this past weekend. The MC is annoying as hell. I thought Naruto was bad.
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Hope Sawamura lives up to all those great words he produced towards that big senpai. Miyuki seems like hes gonna be one of my fav char because he seems chill asf.

I don’t know much about baseball but I still enjoyed this first episode.

MC already feels cheesy but I really like the art. Cliffhanger ending left me wanting more.

Haven't seen any baseball anime so now felt like a good time to start I guess lol

Currently my first baseball anime but so far nothing really too different from your main character in an action anime. "Happy character, cares about his friends, is always smiling, etc, etc"

I really do want to see where this show goes in terms of Baseball though for sure, might be fun to see 5+ episodes based on one entire game. ( And I really hope its not like the Layton anime where they just pick and choose what works and have some sense in it )

Looks really stale, but it is a long series. I can tell it needs time to warm-up for the show. It has promise and I intend to watch this to understand why Japan (and only Japan?) loves baseball so MUCH!

Despite being a dumbass Eijun seems like a fun baseball freak to have as mc. I wouldn't mind seeing him deadball Azuma with his 'cute belly'.

I think they went too fast for just being the first episode.
Not bad, the animation was good but... maybe it's just because I watched too many shounen so I might be a bit tired of seeing that kind of protagonist. At least his slaps were funny lol.

Not a very original start but entertaining either way.
Coming from "Major" which I loved I'm curious to see what this baseball anime has to offer.

Protagonist is likeable (maybe a bit too loud) and the art looks good enough.
