It looks fine to me. I mean, they know their limits so they're trying their best to 'cover' those.

Hell yea...this series simply produce the most priceless of priceless expressions

ep 10

Spoiler:

MeoTwister5 · 2009-09-12, 11:05

Meh the only episode 10 raws I can find won't even play well. Sigh...

Well there's enough one-sided Kyouko romancing for Tomoe to last me the wait for the subs of 9 and 10. Also epic Tama annoyed face at 14:30-ish.

When I watched this show, I think someone else should remake Princess 9 someday. I bet that show would be better than Taishou Yakyuu Musume if it remaked since it was in shoujo demographics, unlike Taishou Yakyuu Musume which is a seinen.

It's been awhile since I saw Princess Nine, but I remember feeling kind of negative towards it near the end. Although it's possible that I may feel differently about it if I were to try it again today.

Still based on current memory of Princess Nine and based on what I've seen of Taishou Yakyuu Musume so far, I prefer the latter. Well, this does have the unfair advantage of Kyouko.

Also, I've learned over time that shows can be good or bad regardless of their demographic.

Just one more episode to go for one of the better series of the season.

Greenish Growth · 2009-09-18, 00:59

I'm going to need another pick-me-up, light-hearted kind of show after this one's over.

It was nice being able to watch this show during slightly downer times.

MeoTwister5 · 2009-09-18, 02:07

I'm assuming you guys know episode 9 dubs by Doremi are out?

Ghostfriendly · 2009-09-18, 13:39

Indeed they, and none too soon. Nice to get some development from Sousuke, pity the Koume-stalking guy got off so lightly. Hopefully Sousuke and Akkiko will get to respect each other more....Saburo was incredibly cute here, with his bet, he really knows more about Koume and relationships than the stalker-guy.

Deathkillz · 2009-09-19, 07:24

Nothing much to say to ep 11 but simply; fantastic

Spoiler for episode 11:

FuzzyWuzzy · 2009-09-20, 12:55

I hope they win. I hope she can use the magic ball or knuckleball and wow the guys.

Ghostfriendly · 2009-09-20, 15:29

I was thinking after watching ep 9 that the Asaka headmaster might have a point about the match reflecting on the school. If Asaka lose to a girls team, the loss of face might prevent them from entering competitions in future, or even lead to other teams refusing to play them.

I can't see the girls letting them win to save them from something like that though; they'd more likely have to vindicate Asaka by beating any teams that refused to play them!

zindrel · 2009-09-20, 16:06

What do you base your assumption of the girls' team being stronger than Asaka's on?
It's not very logical that they would win, the gap in experience is just too wide. Although, it might be possible if the boys don't take them seriously at first and the girls manage to get a decent lead. Otherwise, the relatively realistic setting would be destroyed.

DJ Trouble · 2009-09-20, 16:21

Waiting on the subs is hard, but I will persevere!

Relatively realistic, but very idealistic. The girls would have to get very lucky, but after all this work, they can't end the series satisfied with a loss.

Agent86 · 2009-09-20, 17:24

I think a close, tough loss for the girls would serve the storyline as well as an outright win. One of the underlying themes of this show is "Guys, you must take the ladies seriously, on their own terms." I think Koume and Akiko will gain that respect just by staying competitive. Actually, I think Koume has gained that respect from the right person already.

Of course, I'm rooting for them to win. Because the other underlying theme of this show is "SQUEE! Cute anime girls in period costumes playing baseball!" So how can I not?

That logic is good enough for me. I'll be rooting for them as well. Especially since the team includes Kyouko.

As for their chances to win, I look at this way. It ultimately could go either way. The expert has the better chance, but they do sometimes lose to the amateur. Also winning once and winning multiple times are two different things.

Deathkillz ~ You're dead ^__^* ~ Graphic Designer Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: uk, England Age: 34	Hell yea...this series simply produce the most priceless of priceless expressions ep 10 Spoiler: Hilarious episode is all I have to say for this. I simply love all of the characters to bits and Kyouko especially for bringing all those delicious Tomoe onee sama moments to the table. My highlight of the episode was the pillow fight part as it all kicked off spectacularly although I pretty much loved everything here...such as Kyouko's countless times where she screws up and kills herself (like taking a ball to the head or nearly drowning ). The test of courage also made me laugh as everyone ran like hell back to the starting point XD Great job __________________ Siggy: hohohohoho~ \| AnimeHistory welcome to our blog ~ \| Summer2009 early review Under the radar series Summer2009: Kanamemo, GA Geijutsuka Art, NEEDLESS

But anyways, another excellent episode! Tsundere old ladies and fathers, super butlers (to be fired...), and the tofu man actually playing a part in the story. And plenty of comedy to top it off... Kuh... How can it end there... It was just getting good too... I really do wonder if they will have the girls win or lose... It's... almost over...

ThoHell Senior Member Join Date: May 2006	Spoiler for episode 11: Man, it's going to be damn sad when this series is over... Episode was interesting but 12 should be better. But you know what, it's pretty typical how anime make things out to be technical and by knowing it it can be over come, however, in actuality it doesn't work like that. If it did, the baseball this the best thinkers would be the best, but they're not. BESIDES ALL THAT, dang those girls play awesome. If girls played like that in real life... O_o baseball that is. Softball is just as damn hard as baseball so don't think I'm like demoting softball or anything. Last edited by Pellissier; 2009-09-19 at 10:08.
