I once suggested this show to a baseball fan and after a couple days he sent me a message saying something along the lines of "I started watching this to see baseball, why do I care so much about the characters?!" My response was that it's because it's a good anime.

So, to clarify why this is so biased: This was my first real obscure anime. I'd grown up watching Dragon Ball once in a while and had watched Cowboy Bebop, but I never truly veered too far off the beaten path. Then, doing research for what was essentially the set-up for a joke, I needed ...

My issue is that this show starts strong thematically with a frank discussion about the issues women face to this day. It then turns around and has the team fail ...
