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.

"Taishou Yakyuu Musume" is a delightful gem that effortlessly combines fun, charm, and inspiration. Set during the Taishou era (early 1900's), the anime centers on a group of spirited young girls who dare to challenge societal expectations by forming a baseball team. This premise alone makes it stand out, but it's the execution that truly shines. The series captures the essence of perseverance, friendship, and the unyielding pursuit of dreams, all while wrapped in an atmosphere that's both historically rich and wonderfully heartwarming.

The characters are undeniably cute, each bringing their unique personality to the team, making them easy to root for. Their growth, both as ...

Mixed Feelings
Taishou yakyuu musume had the misfortune to be on my schedule soon after Ookiku furikabutte, and since the latter shone brightly, the former paled rather severely. well, in some ways that's the fairest way to judge a show, in comparison to its peers.

the story's premise is quite promising, a show about girls playing baseball in the early taishou period (1920s) could be very interesting. alas, this anime doesn't strike a blow for realistic feminism, indeed it doesn't even try. some lip service is paid to resistance by others, but in fact there are no real difficulties to overcome, even the 11th hour ...

Preliminary (3/12 eps)
Similar to Cross Game, Taishou Yakyuu Musume tries to engage in different genres and doesn't nearly invest in any of them for you to care. While it's kind of nice to see a change of pace with the combination of CGDCT meshing with something sporty, like baseball, this show doesn't execute the two themes very well. If something like Girls und Panzer, where girls fight in tanks can be done well, surely baseball and cute girls can also be done.
Well, clearly it's not the traditional baseball show. The women's baseball team isn't playing against other women in a competitive league, but rather playing against ...
