Tomomi Mochizuki (House of Five Leaves) is both directing and scripting the upcoming anime adaptation at Zero-G (Hyper Speed GranDoll, Shadow Skill, MD Geist II - Death Force). Takako Shimura (Wandering Son, Sweet Blue Flowers original creator) is in charge of the original character designs, Hideoki Kusama (Sket Dance, Mononoke animation director) is adapting those designs for animation and is also serving as chief animation director, and Akira Senju (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ) is composing the music.
Asano's novels revolve around Takumi Harada, a young man who moves to a mountain town in Okayama prefecture during the spring break before he enters middle school due to his father's job transfer. Takumi is a pitcher, and after he moves he loses faith in his own talent, when suddenly his classmate Kō Nagakura appears in front of him. Kō has a strong desire to form a "battery" (a combination of a pitcher and catcher) with Takumi.

What a train wreck of an anime.
>>142962401
The character desings is one of the things I like the most though.
Where is the cute manager girl?
Will this be about humans playing baseball or super saiyans baseball fight?

You can answer your question yourself just by watching the PV.

Can never be too sure with sports series since their power creep is not always linear.
With a name like Battery you never knew if after several episodes the MC gonna summon an Energizer bunny to power up his metal padded gloves until it becomes a railgun and crash half the stadium.

I knew setting out to watch every Noitamina title was going to bite me in the ass.
Gayer'n hell.

I just find them to be an awkward mix of generic anime and Shimura's art work. If it was closer to Shimura or just did something different it'd be better, but it's so bland as is.
