This animation is excellent in every aspect.
Unlike some hardcore baseball animations, it focuses on the psychological and emotional development of the characters.
The depiction of the characters' mental growth is very delicate, while it still maintains the passionate and intense elements that a sports anime should have.
The animation of action details in the baseball games is particularly outstanding, and the camera work is very impressive.
Before the broadcast, it wasn't widely discussed, but after it started airing, it received a lot of praise. Even people who have no interest in baseball will enjoy watching this work. I am eagerly looking forward to a second season.
