    Childhood Memories

    I still remember this anime until now. And i think to Rewatch again. And this anime still the best anime just not for the story but also every detail like expression that character used. This anime got 2 seasons (for now and we still hope for continue) and the first season maybe you will find it's an old animation but for the second season it gets better. I feel so emotional about the relationship between Pitcher (Ren Mihashi) and Catcher (Takaya Abe). And every character makes you feel to join the team because every person in Nishiura 9 (team name) has a good Personality.

    Anyway i watched the Japanese version and i think it's still the best version of Big Windup! Or you can find it with Ookiku Furikabutte.

    Internal Dialogue a plenty

    After watching Haikyuu, I pretty much knew what to expect out of a sports anime. Each play gets 2 minutes of internal dialogue. In Haikyuu they skip a bit, but Big Windup is literally an entire season of shows for a single game.

    On the plus side, again, like Haikyuu, you really get a detailed analysis of the sport. It truly is like a teaching tool for baseball. That is, to me, very entertaining. Now, the super neurotic pitcher can get unnerving at times, and why they made the coach a gigantic breasted Wonder Woman is a mystery, but it all works.

    Sports anime lovers will enjoy.
