I'm eight episodes into this baseball anime Ookiku Furikabutte and it is good stuff. I'm happy that Saizen (fansub group) decided to pick it up. :) I also watched another sports-related anime subbed by them, Eyeshield 21, which was a football anime that starred a shy quarterback. The main character of Ookiku Furikabutte is more enjoyable to watch because he pulls these great faces and has modest mannerisms. I'd have to say that Tajima and Abe-kun, and some of the other characters are growing on me, too.
A lot of the characters seem to have realistic problems that young kids in sports experience. I'm learning more about baseball, too. If people really do have abilities like some of these characters, then baseball players are really amazing. At episode 8, we're still covering the first game, which shows me the ups and downs that take place in just one game. With this time-span per episode ratio, I can see how the baseball anime Touch went for a hundred+ episodes. I think a lot of this is because we experience the game at hand as well as the events of Mihoshi's past that have set up the dramatic circumstances of the game.
I really like this one, and it's the perfect summer watch. Man, Tajima is cool! Love pointing out his Ichiro salutes.
You don't have to know a lot about baseball to enjoy this anime. If anything, watching it made me appreciate how complex it really is.
Recommendations:
- Touch...baseball and twin brothers, add a love triangle and a great loss, this is old but good
- Eyeshield 21...zany hilarious football anime that focuses on how a fast chicken-hearted youth can become an inspiration to those who used to bully him, with the help of an alter ego
