I gave it 12 minutes. Couldn't keep watching after that. In comparison to the key visuals, this is awful.

I liked the story.Seeing Yomi's passion for baseball and her struggle in middle school touched my heart.
Ganbatte Yomi!

The animation isn't that good,but I'm gonna stick around to see where this goes.The op is also nice.

Focussed to much on the "magical pitch" durring the episode and trying to make a relationship based on that pitch but hopefull it is just a slow start and will get better with more episodes.

After ive seen Cinderella Nine last year im hopin for more anime like that or even better
... Thankfully here it is, im sucker with this kind of anime xD

So i will be comparing Cinderella Nine with this because they are similar genre and all girls baseball club thingy

So..

-I think this ep 1 was much better than Cinderella Nine, this have depth and good humour... so far
-better animation
-thiccer girls
-This have decent OP and ED but i prefer from Cinderella Nine.
-so here they introduce an OP pitcher and cather unlike CN which i really like.
-on characters, theres a lot of havent been introduce on this so i cant give an insights need more eps

Overall i enjoyed this one
This was a good ep 1, this one has a potential to be a good baseball anime
I hopee they focus more in story rather than the fan service (right amount of it is not bad xD)

The studio kinda failed it.

If I were to be honest the quality is a Trainwreck.

The Source is potentially could come out as 7-8 for rating but Anything else aside from the story and bad directing will pretty much less this anime to 5-6

taken from nyaa comments: "they can’t do a girl baseball anime without sexualising the girls. The other one was with skirt, this one we can almost see their ass below the shorts"

Just for comparison, this morning I was watching Trigger's new show BNA, and episode 5 was a baseball episode, and also miles more fun than this thing. I don't even care about the sex appeal, cause it's not all that sexy. Everything about it just sends me to sleep. Watch BNA or Just Because instead.


OH God!... and I was thinking that I forgot about this episode. Personally I just hate ep.5 to the point that I lowered score from 7 to 6 for BNA.

I consider this episode to be much better than ep.5 of BNA.

Hmm that was quite the catchy OP. Its rare for girls to be interested in baseball. Still their uniform sure is nice. Its nice to see Yomi be able to reunite with her childhood friend after ascending high school though. Yomi and Tamaki though sure had an impressive career in baseball back in mid school though. The practice pitch sure was fun though. Her breaking ball was impressive. Unfortunately though baseball is a team sport and too much talent can also cause breaks within a team just as easily. It also didn't help in that Yomi was the only one taking it seriously. Overall a decent first ep that did well to introduce the main cast as well as the first members of the eventual team. More than ever chemistry and a desire to give your all to a sport is what will ensure a team will go far in their careers. So far the chemistry is starting to get apparent but they're going to need more members.

First new show of the season so decided to give it a go, i was pulled in by the cover photo which looked excellent but the art style in the show looked absolutely nothing like it, can we call this a CGDCT show. Anyways it was quite bland and uninteresting for the most part but when the got to the baseball part it got slightly better but it was a plot we've seen a million times before, a pitcher with some deadly throw and a catcher forming a formidable battery, so far they don't add unnecessary fan service or shoujo ai undertones it'll probably be fine.

ok, the art is certainly not top quality but it is watchable.

anyway, so that's the simple explanation. Yomi worked hard and has a great pitch, but her team is trash so they lost easily. Good thing she met her childhood friend again.

looking forward to the next episode.

starting score of 6/10

I didn't mind the start. Seems like it has potential depending on how the rest of the season goes - we'll see.

The opening was solid, too.

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.

That's what death is, don't you think?

OOF. And here I was hyped because I thought we might be getting an actual good, non-ecchi, non slice of life, female anime. Rest in peas my hopes and expectations. Don't think I'll ever see a sports anime with girls that treat them seriously the way it happens with male characters. Oh well.
We're only on ep 1 so idk, maybe it gets suddenly much better after a few eps, but just from what we got so far:
➤Awful character design.
➤Bad character introductions.
➤Bland protagonist.
➤Cliche and badly managed character arcs (can't believe this is something I can judge on episode one and YET I can. That's how bad this is).
➤Questionable at best voice acting.
➤Uninspired art style and mediocre animation but that's to be expected to be honest.
In conclusion: might watch a couple more eps before droping, also watch Taisho Baseball Girls, it's much better than this.

I kind of like the story, I watch too much baseball boys anime I feel I need to watch this to balance my testosterone.

The animation is kind of old, & i'm dreaming Kyoto Animation doing this anime, it will be awesome tho.

But, I will still watch, coz I wanna see rival from the other school. I bet they will be awesome with stylish voice.

Horrible chara. Horrible legs.

It was silly, predictable and the characters will still have a boring one-dimensional personality. Our Koisuru Asteroid of the season, I guess...

Okay this wasn't anything special from what I would have hoped when I saw that we would get a new Baseball anime. The animation quality in general is quite trash, but well what did we expect from the studio. Their body figure seems weird animated. The eyes of all the characters are the exact same, and when I mean the same I mean they have drawn a eye for one character and then Ctrl + V it on every other character and maybe changed the eye colors, I don't like it and it actually kinda scares me. But again I won't drop it yet because the Story in itself seems ok and I want to see where it leads.

I like baseball shows, just a shame that this feels so cheap and rushed.
I'll give it a shot, I'm hoping that the animation will get better.

I'm calling it, this show will have 2 recap episodes.

woah, i don't know about you guys but this is my first baseball anime and I'm actually hooked. The OP is really fucking catchy and I can't stop replaying this one episode in hopes of what the next episodes could be. Tama's vc is new? her voicelines are oddly satisfying to hear tho.

As for the animation, I already am biased about haikyuu being the best animated sports anime so I wasn't expecting much so it was kinda ok for me. the throw animations were nice tho.

I watched Cinderella Nine to get the gist of what's everyone talking about but so far this episode alone was better than all of Cinderella Nine combined lmao. Cinderella Nine was so forced that their faces got picasso'd and their story, bland.

I get what everyone is kinda skipping this bc the story is cliche, high school, round up some characters, everyone tells their story and nothing new to add to the table. But its quarantine mode for me and I'm running out of promising shows bc I'm completing them all so fast lmao.

but if I'm being honest to myself, what got me hooked were the legs mehn. Their body shape isn't too skinny and yomi being so fucking tall and the frame where she was carrying dumbbells got me. So if you got any thicc thigh animes to watch I would be so grateful lmao

Yeah, the animation and character designs are not the best, but I find the first episode okay. It isn't like YOI or Haikyuu in the animation quality department, but it has its charm. The main character is adorable and I like the twins. I might continue watching it.
Cartoons and anime is my reality.

Everyone is being too harsh on it. They're trying their best and and working with what they have and you can tell someone really cares about it. Judging it the way people are is like if you could only answer 3 out of 4 questions on a test and people took the score at face value. Like if you're the kind of person that looks at shows like these analytically, you're probably not the target audience.

Yeah, this was pretty bad. I'm sorry, but every show has effort of some kind behind it. Creating these shows is what people do for a living after all. But that doesn't mean bad becomes good because of that. It's just not a good show. Which is too bad, but such is how it goes.

That's about as far as I'll go. Only so much time in the day. And even the 3 episode rule has a certain bar to cross before I'm going to watch a second episode.

Best of luck to those fans of the source material and/or the ones that enjoyed the episode.
