Recently, I finally was able to sit down and watch Moshidora. All of the 10 episodes were out, and I was grateful for that. The anime exceeded my original expectations, and kept me watching episode after episode. It is a show about a baseball team. It focuses on a female named Minami Kawashima who hates baseball, but she decides to be the manager for her school’s team in place of her friend who is in the hospital. She buys a book called Management by Peter Drucker in order to help the team make it to the Nationals tournament.
Moshidora not only focuses on how Minami uses the techniques in Management, but also pays close attention to Minami’s relationship with her friend, Yuuki Miyata, in the hospital. The two find ways to mend the team’s lack of trust in each other. They help some of the team members such as the pitcher and even the coach. Yuuki is the glue that holds Minami and the rest of the team together. But as they make it closer and closer to the Nationals, things start to fall apart for Minami and the team.
The downside of the show is that there are too many characters in the show. They are not able to delve into the problems of each character. But with the ones they do bring our attention to, they seem real. Most of the baseball team has a chance in the spotlight to show who they are instead of just focusing on two or three of them. With just 10 episodes, I would definitely recommend watching Moshidora.
