Taisho Yakyuu Musume anime review

Moderately interesting baseball slice of life anime set in 1920s Japan. Rich girl’s fiancee says something mean and she forms a baseball team to get back at him. The girls seem to be having fun, at least, and there are all the different kinds of wacky misunderstandings and romantic mix-ups that you would expect from your everyday high school anime.
I didn’t find Taisho Yakyuu Musume interesting enough to watch till the end, so I stopped around episode 10 and just skimmed through the rest. I’m happy that Koume’s relationship with Saburo seems to be going along well. Apart from that, I didn’t care to watch any more. Nice characters, but nothing you haven’t seen before from any moe slice-of-life show. The baseball action isn’t very good because for most of the show the girls really suck at it. The pitcher only learns to throw a breaking ball around episode 8 of 12, etc. etc. Worth a watch if you like high school girls, moe, or slice of life.
Spoilers: Most baseball anime series end with the protagonist’s team losing. This ratio goes up to 100% when it’s a show about girls facing off against boys. Heaven forbid that XX chromosomes should ever triumph over XY. Keep that in mind when you watch this.
