Only one volume and already an anime!? Wow.

[Master_Yoma]

Well a lot of 4panal manga have made it big so it looks like there going to try it again

[Midonin]

I'm not sure what it's about, other than "listless looking girl in a school uniform with a baseball bat." And that is enough to grab my attention.

I was also thinking the same thing.

I've only seen a few images of the manga including the cover, but I can say that I'm definitely interested in this.

I like the design of the girl on the cover and I have a fondness for 4-Koma. Well ones involving females anyway. So that definitely goes in its favor.

[Marisa Kirisame]

I read all available chapters of this manga after hearing the announcement (so far 14 chapters and only 6 pages for each chapters), and surprise surprise - it's about 4 school girls and their wacky school/daily life. Now where have I seen that before.......

Anyways, these are the main girls:

Spoiler for picture:

Try to guess the personality of the girls before reading their descriptions and see how accurate you were. (It's pretty easy if you've seen a couple moe sol shows)

Spoiler for Character Descriptions:

From left to right:
Yuuko - Generally the kind and mature one, she gets teased often. Has the best body(aka biggest boobs) among the girls. Apparently has a Kansai accent and is scared of ghosts.
Nagi - The most "normal" of the group. Wears glasses and practically can't see without them. Often the tsukkomi of the situation. Worries over her weight and do not like winter for its coldness.
Run - The only first year student whereas the others are in their second year.Has a very petite figure (aka pettanko). Usually looks indifferent, is a deadpan snarker at times. However she is actually very child-like. Very fond of Touru.
Touru - The cheery oddball. While she doesn't seem to be very bright she do things with the best intentions in mind. Apparently popular with guys.

I'm thinking that Kyoani would be a very probable candidate for animating this, seeing how this fits right in with all the other moe shows they've done. Although I wouldn't be surprised if AIC, JC, or some other random studio is doing this.

[Kakkou]

The main visual with the girl and the baseball bat actually makes the show seem appealing, despite my recent growing aversion towards cute (often stupid) girls doing cute (often stupid) things, and a 4koma source to boot. Aniplex show as well, hmmm, why am i thinking of ufotable from that visual?

[MisaoFan]

Daume will animate this after Shiki. It will be very Ichigo Mashimaro-like, on the same studio, or maybe Bridge, responsible for animating Mitsudomoe.

I'd say the chances of Kyoani animating this show are next to zero. One, because it's Aniplex, who Kyoani has never worked with before. And two, because Satoshi Kubo (an animator), has confirmed he's working on the project, and Kyoani hasn't used a freelance animator since just about forever.

A-1 Pictures would seem like a pretty good bet to me.

does this mean we are gonna get another moe dance?

It looks like you've read more of it than I have then. As for being familiar, it reminds me of stuff I like, so that works for me. Well, the important part is this gives me a chance to become more familiar with it.

I wonder how deliciously gay the staff will make this.

[Tatiana Razajev]

Watches Promotional Video. Desire to watch this increases again. April feels so far away.

[Midonin]

Between this and Nichijou, I think I will be quite satisfied this spring season.

[totoum]

The saki team?

That's all I need to hear,I'm in

[D-Gold]

Well I found another show I plan to watch in spring. I wonder what Run will use that bat for. I have a feeling she isn't on a baseball team.

Wait, aren't the last two names reversed? According to the PV, Tooru's the one with the bat and Run's the blonde girl.
