Tama-chan kawaii Tama-chan.....Starting to lament the lose of the kimono as a school uniform here...Honestly think it looks better on most of them then the sailor fuku...
Very fun episode though...Some great personalities at play here that all mix and mingle very naturally creating a nice atmosphere...And ofcourse the pratfalls from inexperienced little girls trying to play baseball is always enjoyable to watch.

Heh. The show has struck the proper balance between Cute Girls and the Cute Things that they do, something K-On failed to do IMO. This show just got bumped up to my To Watch list.
What is most distinctive about this episode is that they managed to showcase the individual personalities of each character in just 2 episodes, heck all 9 of them in fact. That's a feat in and of itself.

That just had me in stitches.
I mean, it was obvious that the ball was going to go through a window at some point, but that didn't stop it being hilarious when it did, and the fact that it was Anna-sensei who did it was just icing on the cake. The English being read out in class sounded like an extract from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, if anyone wanted to know. The bit where Tomoe's admirer was just standing next to her in complete glee was also hilarious. If they can keep up this level, I'm in for the rest of the series. |

EDIT: Found a calculator that returns 6 different evaluations on the value of the USD through history... all six of them being wildly different, the lowest saying a dollar in 1949 was worth 9 today, the highest saying 50... XD Let's compromise and approximate that as... 25. So if one 1949 dollar was worth three hundred sixty 1949 yen and 25 modern dollars, that means one 1949 yen is worth about... seven modern yen? o_O

In 1924, 100 yen = $43 US. According to inflation calculators, $1 US from 1925 would be roughly $12 today. Nevertheless, this doesn't exactly tell us a lot about buying power or average incomes of the time (according to one article, a male clerk working for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government would start at 70-75 yen per month). |

The first couple of episodes of Taishou Yakyuu Musume (Taiyamu for short) have been surprisingly charming and fun. That first segment where Koume broke out her little song and dance was insanely old-fashioned, but it's sheer innocence and energy created a great atmosphere. Overall, the comedy of the show is very predictable, but great nonetheless. The most predictable gag possible in a baseball comedy has to be someone breaking a window, and here it's executed so well that it's obvious that the show is in good hands. What I also found really great was the wonderful way the creators brought Taishou Japan to life. Their attention to detail makes for a much more lively environment to frame the story, and it's something that they've taken good advantage of.
Other notes:
It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of $10-20. The humor value is supposed to be partially in how trivial the loan (and hence the extortion) was.

Anna-sensei's got quite the swing probably better than mine and I was quite good. Used to live next to school field and played there alot, baseball was always good laugh. Omg when Tama-chan utters the line "What are you saying, you stupid" I swooned and screamed like a little girl KYA~~~ yea you read that right I screamed like a little girl! liking both the Op and Ed very much, more so the ED. Now I recall alot of people saying Umineko was the only good summer anime but so far I've seen quite a few that are much better than it. This being one and really a great delight to watch.
