Additionally, this is can be very interesting for anyone who’s into pre-World War II Japan. If you’re joyed by all things cute you can get into this blindfolded, as you’ll go crazy in the very first minutes when Koume sings us a song to introduce old Tokyo. You aren’t required to know the rules of baseball to enjoy this anime, but if you’re a baseball fan you should definitely check it out as it certainly has a different approach than most sports shounen anime… it is more similar to that of slice-of-life/moe shows, but without losing the focus of what it is all about - of course, the 'train and and you'll get better' aspect is still present. the uprising of feminism, which even if I can’t say it’s historically correct in the context of this decade, is deeply associated in this case with the girls’ interest in baseball. The cultural differences between now and then are definitely the show’s greatest highlight, because it not even once stops being interesting. While most 'moe-oriented' shows nowadays tend to let their own cuteness take over and steal the spotlight, Taishou avoids this pitfall by not letting go of the baseball focus but few times when to flesh out their characters.Īs a slice-of-life show, the most remarkable aspect in this anime is the setting, which takes place in Japan’s 20s, providing an interesting background for the story to unfold. Taishou Yakyuu Musume was a nice surprise in this Summer 2009 season.
