Synopsis

In 1925 (year 14 of the Taisho era) baseball is still quite unknown in Japan and there are only a few male teams. After being told by a baseball player that women should become housewives instead of going to school, 14-year-old Akiko invites her friend Koume to start a baseball team in order to prove him wrong. During this time, when even running was considered too vulgar for women, baseball is known as "what the boys do" and they face many difficulties when having to find enough members, to get permission from their parents and also when learning about the sport itself, which they soon discover to be more difficult than expected.

Great, a quite challenging episode. The girls are learning more and more; I like the fluidity of the animation in the movements, plus it doesn't just expose the plot as an idea, but they actually explain the sport.

A quite fun episode, I love the bravery and willingness of the girls when trying new things, and there is never a shortage of comic scenes; plus, I like to see the culture reflected in the anime.

I find the animation very cute because it is sweet; on the other hand, I like the scenes centered on the characters since they give the background that accompanies them soft colors.
