There are few intense baseball moments as it is mainly a slice-of-life type of show with very tiny hints of romance (with or without boys). You get to watch all the girls progress and grow, though, and the end is quite satisfying.
Of course, as it is 12 episodes long, there isn't a huge amount of room for character development. But the characters are still likable and fun to watch. The historical aspects of the show are interesting, definitely, and that was a part of it that drew me in. I liked to see the effects of the transition from the Meiji period as Westernization began to invade Japan.
I found the art lovely; the backgrounds especially are beautiful. The character design is cute and eye-catching. The music wasn't always amazing but there were some tracks that really stood out to me. I loved the opening and ending themes as well. The voices are generally good, despite the fact that some of the higher pitched ones yelling out baseball cues could be rather obnoxious.
At any rate, if you're a fan of baseball, history, or are in the mood for something light and relaxing, Taisho Yakyuu Musume is definitely the way to go.
