Heh, they're actually giving the girls time to practice and train with their catching.

I guess it's important since it's a fundamental element of every game. Plus, the team needs to understand everyone's strengths and weaknesses to work together at their best.

The new members add the usual new personality and dynamic to the team. I'm really curious how far they'll develop as a team going forward. A nice fun episode.

Just a shame it'll get a low score just because of what it is. While it's not an outstanding show, but it's still good in my opinion.

How terrible this show is... even from the Baseball aspects too.
Can't spend at least 10 minutes without yawning because everything feels stiff, the dialogue, the animation and their personalities feels... bland.
But gonna wait the 3rd Episode for the 3 Episodes rule.

Probably if you watched this without watching Taishou Yakyuu Musume, you will find this anime "Okay-ish" but it's clearly Taishou Yakyuu Musume has the upper hand.

Pretty fun episode, pretty cute. Nothing too wrong with this except for the obvious CG when they were warming up for their throws. Also, idk if it's just me but the teacher at the end has a wierd face, her eyes seem super small compared to the rest of her face/ hair.
overall good episode!

Those big, meaty bodies, those heads and faces. It really looks like a hentai lol.

It's weird because there are traces of good animation sometimes, but at the same time you have horrible CGI and off-looking faces. At least the thighs and butts look good. PRIORITIES.

Girl of culture.

Of course sensei had to be THICC too. Nice. Those glasses look weird tho.

This episode was nice, especially the match. I think I liked it more than the first one.

The animation and chara design aren't great to say the least, and introducing 8 characters in 2 episodes made it hard to recognize everyone, otherwise... I think it was a decent episode. The rivalry/friendship between the two new 1st years was fun, so was Ibuki being overwhelmed and made fun of because of her lack of skills. The second half was predictible as hell but Rei is an interesting character, you can see she's still traumatized by what happened and was surprised by Yomi's kindness at the end.
It probably won't be enough for me to keep watching it though, but I don't think it deserves such a low score.

This was a decent ep; it looks like the club's expanding. Getting more Haikyuu/Karasuno vibes.

Can't wait till the first game

I'm increasingly annoyed at the MAL community tbh. Judging from the scores, it's like all the average user cares about is sasuga animation and little else.

I personally enjoyed this episode. Yes, some frames looked mediocre, but at the same time there were also a LOT of frames, with next to no still camera pics. And, besides the animation aspect, the story is actually enjoyable. The characters feel relatable, and I honestly felt a bit emotional in the second half of the episode. And note, this comes from somebody who (1) doesn't exactly enjoy sports anime and (2) gave Hachigatsu no Cinderella a 2/10.

The fact this community drools after something like Tower of God while pissing over this show is nothing short of appalling, frankly speaking. They should make it a requirement for voting on MAL that you have decent marks at your Humanities classes at school.

Came here to drop the show but you know what, it displayed an extra layer of depth that i wasn't expecting, nothing groundbreaking but just enough to keep me interested, quite curious as to exactly what happened the previous year, will keep watching for now.

The animation is decent imo and not that bad


And more girls joined the team and soon they can play against other lesbians and I can cheer them on!!Go lesbians!! Go!!!!

I personally don't see what's so bad about this show nor why it's getting so many negative scores. I've not watched many sports anime, but this one feels refreshing & wholesome compared to the ones I've seen.
Lots of different characters & we already have backgrounds to the main characters. The team is forming together & surely the only way is up from here? Gonna keep watching this one!

those two new first years remind me of the 2 cat maid in Nekopara who are good friends, but always arguing. xD

glad someone can hit Yomi's pitch, so it's not really that overpowered. Rei looks like she would be a good team captain. :)

The funniest thing about this episode is people being concerned about the survival of a baseball club in a Japanese high school.

Other than that, it's pretty badly animated and some characters are downright grating (Yoshino please kindly shut the fuck up and stop touching people, you are not funny, you are not cute, you are a creep and the show doesn't realize it yet), but it's just functionally mediocre at the end. Nothing too terrible and it's playing safe with the narrative tropes so far. It's not a good show by any means, but it's not remarkable either on the bad side. The last point of conflict, if rushed, was a bit interesting.

Ugh, I feel super condescending towards the show writing this. But I don't feel like hating it either, it's just there.

I don’t know how to feel about this series. It’s not too much boring but it’s not interesting at the same time. I’ve a doubt about the sport component, I hope it’ll be well done but I’m not sure of that.

I'm actually enjoying this one. It's not a standout in any areas, some of the writing is mediocre, the animation is mostly basic, but I like the characters. It's wholesome. And I really appreciate that the characters aren't just moeblobs, there's some legit competitors mixed in, and they seem to have legitimate fears and hopes and shortcomings. Only one character feels like the overly-starry-eyed fangirl trope (and it doesn't focus on this,) nobody feels like the infantized "fails at everything and needs help with everything" that happens so often in moe shows. This has actually been a good balance of the competitive and the fun aspects of competing in a team sport. Plus THANK YOU for being a show where female characters who are passionate about a sport actually understand the sport, and don't do facepalm things like not understanding that they have to run after hitting the ball, or chase after the ball on defense once it's hit. (*/stares judgmentally at Cinderella Nine...) It's avoiding most of the pitfalls common to badly-written girls' club shows.

Also, probably this is just personal, but I really like that this show looks like it's going to be talking about finding the right balance between being competitive and having fun. That's a personal struggle that I REALLY relate with, as someone who was way too competitive in sports growing up and had a really hard time just enjoying the game.

So, I was fully expecting this to be bad going in, but I've legitimately been enjoying myself so far, and will keep watching!

From 2D to 3DCGI action, WOW what a change (for the episode opening), really stretching out the bad animation that's ever as consistent. Well, I'd guess for limited budget, that was the best Studio A-CAT could ever do. Meanwhile, those derpy faces I can't overlook.

Meanwhile, adding new members and THICC thighs for Yoshino being the caresser. At least (and thank God) the story is based on the manga, so we're heading somewhere, that's for sure. Yay to new characters that I will have a hard time tracking who's who as they fight for screentime and main positions.

The common enemy now is stagnancy (that the seniors have brought problems to the juniors), and that the juniors (Tama, Yomi and Co.) are rehashing the same vitality to get the remaining stay-back seniors, 2 of them (Rei and Risa) back into the game with renewed groove.

Plus a teacher a.k.a advisor, and the baseball club is in good shape to start.

Try your very best girls! This show depends on you.

Dont worry, there are people who like it, only the minority of those who watch anime are on mal and even less of that minority write in comment section. And those on mal who seem to be hating are throwing deadly glares because of animation.

Finally that eyeglasses girl arrived. She was the sensei? Damn, never expect shit like that. She pretty sure hot af, and really served good as a material, yeah if you what i mean. Surely she now could be my favourite girl here, its nice to see the refreshment. I guess, its not so wasting time watched that girls, actually. Especially with that stunning teacher served as a coach. A catch ball play, in the base field anime? Its pretty fine to me! So lets see how their daily life attract my attention

I hope they keep the bad cgi to the bare minimum since this series already got a low tier quality animation. Gotta agree with Yoshino, girls got some THICC thighs (FBI plz don't arrest me...). Looks like Yomi needs some different moves if she really wants to play some highlevel baseball, at least they got the team ready.
