Jeez, the quality went down the abyss this time...

The episode itself wasn't horrible but my eyes were captivated by something else - and it ain't positive -

Glad there´s an explanation for the animation.

Ill search and rewatch this ep, I was about to drop this, but they deserve a chance.

Wow, awful animation quality. Didn't look this bad in previous episodes.
I agree. I love the concept of the story, but I have to enjoy what I see. I thought the art was iffy in the first 3 eps, but it wasn't bad enough for me to drop it. But then we get ep 4, where it seemed like the quality got worse as the ep went on. There was even a random CGI, which isn't inherently bad, but the quality was just so horrible. Honestly, I didn't even finish the episode.

The animation was full of inconsistencies and choppiness. The episode was nice but the animation movements is hard to watch.
Cartoons and anime is my reality.

Not a great show by any means but it's about female non-ecchi sport so I'm finishing it no matter what.
Visuals are simplistic, story is nothing to write home about but you can't have Hanebado! every season (or even every year) so it'll do in a pinch. It's not like connoisseurs of the subject are spoiled for choice or something. OP/ED are actually pretty good.
The episode is decent - I have no idea about baseball rules but enjoyed it all the same. Also watched the AT-X version so missed all the drama lol.

What's up with the episode ??? Awful animation, frame pacing, character design and why so much padding ?. Did the staff for this episode change ? It was an important match for the team since it will set the momentum for them going forward. But with this level of crappy animation and pacing, they need to do much better going forward when they'll have to animate more of the matches

Funimation messed up and initially was streaming early master.

I watched first the broadcast version and I'm glad I did. Still, the animation is still quite bad, but still...

The version that FunAnimation brought out made me wanted to make stab my eyeballs out. Why does FunAnimation still exist at this point? FunAnimation is a fucking joke.

I hope you aren't implying you think that Funi is animation studio.

No, I was just refering at FunAnimation's other terrible mistakes from the past.

really liked this episode, even if they included a lot more bad CG. I liked how the game played out, and that they lost in the end(first game after all). The episode could've used better direction, but I'm guessing they weren't making things too tense due to it being a practice game and all

Bad subtitles I'm guessing? I was getting that too, had trouble following a few scenes because of it

The fact that the studio sent this version to the streaming service (correct version has been replace already) is even worse... For matter fact, this is a fail for the studio, not the streaming service. You should know what the heck are you sending.

Anyhow, the series is pretty bad either way,...

It's not a studio mistake, it was funimations.

They send works in progress (probably animated by an intern) so the subs can be done before the anime is aired in Japan. Then add the subs when the completed anime comes in near air date.

Obviously the last part was a problem, it's obvious they don't check what they send out by the interspecies reviewers saga.

So extremely shit quality is sent beforehand so they can add subs?.... I have never heard about that before... How do you know that's what happened here and that it wasn't a mistake by this new studio (any factual sources)?

Anyhow, I don't really care, this just tells me about the awful production this series is at right now... if this is what you sent to organizations as a work in progress, then there is a problem with your series...

Everyone does it that way, it's the only way to get subs done on time because they are still working on it until the air date.

The aired footage was pretty far along compared how it starts out.

Welp, looks like this show is going to be doomed to being the most underrated show of the season just because Funimation royally screwed up and released the unfinished version. (Which was the first version of this episode I watched, and I was just staring in awe at the screen wondering what the hell happened. I could tell something went horribly wrong, since the episode was full of uncolored untextured backgrounds, terribly-distorted keyframes, and almost no motion at all in several scenes, but initially just assumed it was either Corona or the studio just completely running out of time for some reason. I was VERY glad when I came here to compare notes with people and discovered that it was a mistake, and not the correct version.)

This show is fine. It's not anything exceptional, but it's a perfectly acceptable sports show.

I REALLY REALLY appreciate that the main characters are actually passionate for baseball and actually have interesting team dynamics and strategies, and that this isn't a moeblob show. The visuals are still a bit janky, there was way more obvious CG in this episode than I was hoping for, but it's a perfectly enjoyable popcorn sports series to just shut your brain off and have fun with. I like the characters, and there's just enough interpersonal drama and self-doubt to keep it dynamic.

My girl Nozomi got called out first during team formation plan (first batter!!!) and she did quite fine in their match, even gotten attention from the super OP ace of the other team and even hit back one of her balls

I liked when Yomi asked captain to say something before the match started and captain was full >_<

That was a huge dip in animation. Unfortuntely, I watched the crappy version and it made it hard to watch. Even so, not worth watching again since they lose the game. Well its just a practice match and the girls at least have fun.

Quality drop? Such a shame. Even i found some error art in some sceneries. Ah, so sad looking on this episode. Oh well, what can i expect? Nevertheless, everything not just easy. They even lost there. Atleast they were doing funny thing, with... Emmh... Yeah like that! So let just move on to the other episode.

They played pretty good for their first match against a highranked team especially considering some of them are newbies and some are bit out of shape after playing in a terrible team *cough* Yomi *cough*
Really thought the animation quality went really downhill until I read that Funimation made a mistake by releasing an early master while the tv broadcast was just fine. Still pretty hilarious to see it this bad.

What the heck the animation is so ugly. I can't stop laughing because their face looks like it was distorted and its right on the practice match episode too. Good job, Funi! The quality drop is hilarious.
