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.

As 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. The cultural differences between now and then are definitely the show’s greatest highlight, because it not even once stops being interesting. This show is a great look on read more

"Good wives, good mothers." and "Revere the masculine, despise the feminine." were ideals perpetuated by the governing bodies of Japan demanding obedience from the country's women as far back as the Meiji and Tokugawa eras.

In all of this ancient land's history, however, it is in the 20th century that the issues of gender equality became modernised and took greater strides. The Taishou era in particular was period where women, influenced by Western cultures, became more liberated and actually attempted to veer away from the standard domesticated expectations that were placed on them by society.

It is at the beginning of this era in which Taishou read more

baseball anime too but,in this case, taishou yakyuu musume,shows girls playing.The fact that it’s set in 1925 Japan,which,women should become housewives.And first they have to organise the team. This anime shows how these girls struggle to learn baseball and in the process lots of funny stuffs happens to them.
