NOOO!! I was beaten :< Oh well, lol.

This episode is definitely good. usually, I always think the recruiting episodes are the most boring ones, but this one is refreshing. I'm so glad they didn't spend 3 or 4 episodes trying to find members, lol. It's obvious that this cast will be larger and more varied than K-ON's; now, all that remains is to see whether each of the girls will develop throughout the series, or if only some will develop while the others remain underdeveloped.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Good episode. Fairly funny and cute. I really prefer this over forced cuteness like in K-ON.

Setting is still interesting especially due to the 1920th and those nine seem like an interesting bunch.
BTW, I thought that blackmailing her into the team due to 1 yen was really funny.

I thought this episode was really good! I loved the baseball through the window scene and how the girls quickly switched to reading poetry. I thought Tomoe-chan was realy cute! :)

Very entertining series, and the different female characters are quite nice. I guess I'll continue some more to know how they fare against the boys.

Alright episode I suppose... but I hope they actually make use of the time period somewhere in the show because as it stands it feels like it could be set in any time period.

Anyway, full team is ready... time for practice and games...

I agree with this and specially about the forced cuteness in K-ON.

After another strong episode, this one's a definite keeper for me. Love the cast of characters. It will be fun to watch them develop their game, themselves and their relationships with one another over the course of the show. Akiko and Tama-chan were too cute. Sensei's got some wicked bat speed.

Tama-chan is adorable as well. Can't wait to see the next episode.

Great episode. Good use of the time period as a background. Their slow learning of the game is fully understandable due to the time period this allows the show to build on the relationships and the game itself without shortchanging either one.

wikipedia said:
The yen was officially adopted by the Meiji government in an Act signed on May 10, 1871. The new currency, in the form of a silver coin similar to the contemporary Mexican Peso, was gradually introduced beginning from July of that year. The yen replaced the complex monetary system of the Edo period, based on the mon. The New Currency Act of 1871 stipulated the adoption of the decimal accounting system of yen (1, 圓), sen (1⁄100, 錢), and rin (1⁄1000, 厘), with the coins being round and cast as in the West. The yen was legally defined as 0.78 troy ounces (24.26 g) of pure silver, or 1.5 grams of pure gold. The same amount of silver is worth about 1181 modern yen, while the same amount of gold is worth about 4715 yen. The Act also moved Japan onto the gold standard. (The sen and the rin were eventually taken out of circulation at the end of 1953.)

So one yen before WWII was a fair amount. Enough for blackmailing.

I thought they were all going to hide or something, that was pretty funny though, one of the times stereotypes worked for them.

Us playing baseball? oh no, we're females, we're reading poety!

Same here! I can already see some pairings, and if they don't stick Tomoe with dealing with her sister all series, it should lead to some pretty good Shoujo Ai!

All the girls are so cute. While the first episode was reasonably good this one was 10x better. My favorite so far is Tomoe, but then again, I've got a thing for short hair tomboys :P

When Akiko was jumping around, first with 3 fingers then with 1 finger, that was really cute to.

It seems this season has a great draft of shows so far.

Tama-chan and Tama-chan from Bamboo Blade has the same VA, what a coincidence haha ^^ I hope she's going to be awesome too.

Koume got KO'd by Anna's fastball XD! Noe and Koume playing catch was also cute. No wait, everyone is cute ^^

That was one fun episode. Seems like Tomoe will be pillar to the team since she appears the oldest and probably has that discipline to be a leader. Tama could bring in her experience to teach the group. Loved the scene where Koume was doing cartwheels in the background xD

The group seems pretty lively. Akiko sure has enthusiasm.
Anna-sensei brutal throw towards Koume-chan, luckily she was wearing that face mask or else that would have resulted in broken nose. Funny thing what did ended up breaking was a window lol

AAAAAH. I'm so glad that I found this series. Another hidden gem.
JC Staff put a lot of heart into this. I love how they animated many different emotions. And Akiko's jumping out of joy was so adorable and it felt so natural.
All characters are great.

Loving this so far. The part where everyone was pretending that they weren't playing baseball was so cliche,but surprisingly funny xD


Team is finally complete and time for some real practice. Suzukawa earned herself some trouble at home,tho. Just a matter of time till her father will find out the truth.
