Really liked the first episode - the musical number threw me a little at first, but I guess it does help set the stage, and the backgrounds and setting really did a good job setting up the 'feel' of the Taishou Era. Little details like the old guy who rings the bell for changing classes I thought were a good touch too. Koume's line about how her father's Meiji and not Taishou made me laugh - seems like the generation gap is something that probably goes all the way back to the Stone Age... Anyway, I never thought I'd be looking forward to an episode of Taishou-era baseball anime more than the next episode of Haruhi, but that's where I am.
