Despite Minami's dislike for baseball she decides to become the team's manager until her hospitalized friend gets discharged. Unfortunately the story is rather average starting after she buys the book, but the execution is done rather well and it is still rather enjoyable. Our horrible team is essentially on a losing streak and out of shape so our heroine comes to the rescue to bring them to Koushien the goal of every single baseball anime out there.
Of course you all pumped to see how applying a business book onto baseball will work out. However, you realize that in the end it can't be anything over the top and it isn't - A new strategy, a new training menu, or motivating the team. It is still cool in a way, but it is an 'oh' moment when in the end it seems as if the book wasn't needed to come up with these things.
There are a few games that are shown, and while I usually stay away from sports in real life and in anime I found them rather fun to watch. It does a good job of making things rather suspenseful and occasionally funny. Sometimes the episode focuses on a specific team member, and generally this works out well with their condition on the way to being fixed.
It takes a while to get to know all of the cast, at least around episode 6. This is where things start to turn around and the drama begins. It isn't very hard to figure out what will happen, and at first I didn't really show any empathy for the situation. As I mentioned before however, they executed the following time of the show so that by the end I couldn't help but shed a few tears.
Moshidora was a relatively short watch that fully captures the story it is showing. The ending is pretty satisfying which is nice to see in an anime for once although is does suffer from a rather dull start. In the end I am glad I stuck with Moshidora and didn't drop it, but it definitely wasn't anything above a Fair/Fine.
Questions and feedback on my reviews are welcome and very much appreciated!
