For example, the popular "sailor" school uniforms, now a staple of real-world Japanese schools, as well as school-based anime and manga, are only just being introduced into Japanese society during the Taishō period in which this work is based.
TAISHOU MEBIUSLINE MYFIGURECOLLECTION SERIES
The girls also partition off the batter's box so that other teams cannot see what they are doing.Īpart from baseball, the series also deals with certain cultural changes that are not seen quite so often in anime. To combat the anxiety they experience, playing against more experienced teams, they decide to abandon their traditional baseball uniforms in favor of a kimono-style uniform. Koume, Akiko, Manoe and the rest of the nine members of the Baseball Girls continue to face off against numerous all-boy teams, and have trouble dealing with the fast balls thrown by the boys.

One day, Koume's friend, Akiko, asks her to join in an all-girl baseball team and have a match against a boys team. The first book in the series opens in Taishō 14 (1925), introducing Koume, who is the 14-year-old daughter of a yōshoku restaurant owner, and a student at a local girls' academy. 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. In 1925, after being told by a baseball player that women should become housewives instead of going to school, two 14-year-old Japanese high school girls named Koume and Akiko decide to start a baseball team in order to prove him wrong.

The TV series had been licensed in North America by Sentai Filmworks, anime distributor Section23 Films released the complete collection on November 16, 2010. The novels have been adapted to a drama CD, a manga series currently being published in Monthly Comic Ryū, and a TV anime series aired in 2009. Tokuma Shoten has published two novels as of November 2008. is a popular light novel series written by Atsushi Kagurazaka and illustrated by Sadaji Koike. And I think they could have done a better job, but obviously didn't have the money so that's what we got.Taishou Baseball Girls. Overall, what can I say? I don't recommend it. The ED changed 3 times, and yet all of them were pretty good. The sound was surprisingly very good, the OP in special. We have the 'young master', that although powerful is kinda spoiled and insists on them calling him 'boss'. We have another captain in the army that doesn't agree with the doings of the tyrant and wants to help the protagonist. is a popular light novel series written by Atsushi Kagurazaka and illustrated by Sadaji Koike. We have the 'tyrant' big army figure that wants to use him for his power. We have the mysterious powerful taoist (or something like that) who watches him all the time to protect him. We have the weak protagonist that has a mysterious power so everyone wants him, and that has to be protected all the time by someone else. The art was mediocre at best, and the visual effects were bad. We have the main character who can see dead souls and goes to the capital to study, and yet involves himself like a fool in the Army's bussiness. But even those did nothing to help the plot or make any sense and were probably just fillers. Speaking about the plot, there was literally NOTHING new or refreshing about it, maybe except the chibis, little cute versions of theĬharacters.

That's why, in my opinion, if you don't have the money to make it worth it, you're better off not animating it in the first place. Of course, this is because of the short duration of the anime as well (3 minutes and half per episode). I haven't played the game, but from what I know it included BL, which wasn't present in the anime, so the plot didn't make much sense. This anime can be described in 2 words: cringy and uninspired.
