Taishou Yakyuu Musume — 01

01

Seiyuu Alert!!

Taishou Yakyuu Musume op

Taishou Yakyuu Musume ed

The open­ing was sung by Itou Kanae, Naka­hara Mai, Ueda Kana, and Noto Mamiko.  The end­ing is sung only by Itou Kanae. I def­in­itely like the end­ing bet­ter than the open­ing. Kanae does a great job singing and I think this is her best so far. She does much bet­ter than when she would sing for Shugo Chara, which is prob­ably because she’s try­ing to keep Amu’s voice at the same time.

Suzukawa Koume = Itou Kanae

Suzukawa Koume = Itou Kanae

So, the real reason I star­ted to watch this show was because of the seiy­uus . That’s what also made me watch Akane-Iro no Somaru Saka and Antique Bakery (and some other shows~).

Kanae did a nice job with Koume. You can only hear Amu’s voice at some times but not all the times~ Koume is super cute!

Akiko kinda forces Koume to play base­ball with her, but at the end, she decides to do it more of her own will. So she is the 2nd member.

Ogasawara Akiko = Nakahara Mai

Ogas­awara Akiko = Naka­hara Mai

Akiko really sur­prised me because I was expect­ing a more stronger char­ac­ter rather than… a Belldandy. Sorry, coudn’t think of any­thing else but I thought they could have even given Inoue Kikuko this role, too. But, any­ways, it wasn’t a bad sur­prise. It’ll just make things more interesting~

Akiko is the one who brought up the entire idea of play­ing base­ball. She, of course, is the 1st member.

Kawashima Noe = Ueda Kana

Ueda Kana is one of my favor­ite seiy­uus, but Noe doesn’t start talk­ing until the end of the epis­ode. Inter­est­ing char­ac­ter. She’ll be try­ing to find out a way to beat the boys’ base­ball team. Noe is the 3rd member.

Souya Yuki = Noto Mamiko

Souya Yuki = Noto Mamiko

Our class pres­id­ent is voiced by Noto Mamiko! Yuki is the 4th mem­ber and the one who might know the most about base­ball. She might even be the one sup­port­ing the team with equip­ment. Possibly~

There were some other charas that showed up, but they were really only cameos.

Anyways~ Even though this show has good seiy­uus, I’ll def­in­itely be stick­ing around for the story too.

"Is this what baseball is really like?"

“Is this what base­ball is really like?”

Akiko wants to start a base­ball club so she can get back at one guy who made the com­ment “All women should stay in the house­hold. An aca­demic record means noth­ing for them.” But it turns out that base­ball won’t be as easy as they thought. Espe­cially if they’d like to beat the boys.

They need 9 mem­bers for the team and they have 4 mem­bers, cur­rently. They just need 5 more mem­bers and they’re set. And also a coach… Which I think it’s Anna-sensei, judging from the preview.

    This series really has a very fun batch of seiy­uus ^^. And I also love the ED theme of it. I’m totally look­ing for­ward to more of this anime ^__^.

    I liked Kanae-san’s singing in the ED, too, and agree that when she’s singing as Amu, it’s a little held back but I love it all the same (cuz I prac­tic­ally wor­ship this woman for all her SC! work, lol).

    To be hon­est, the only sim­il­ar­ity I heard between Koume’s voice and Amu’s was prob­ably the “EHHH?!” part. Everything else was pretty dis­tinct to Koume’s char­ac­ter which is very good. I was start­ing to feel a little afraid that they might’ve sound too much alike (since I’m so use to the Cool & Spicy tone) but am relieved it’s not. xD;

    Mai Naka­hara and Mamiko Noto really gave me a pleas­ant sur­prise, too. Then again, I never heard Mai Nakahara’s Oujo-sama voice so it’s a first and for Mamiko Noto, there’s Haruka already. Yuki sounds noth­ing like her, though. Another plus. ^^

    Glad to hear you’ll be blog­ging this. Hope it’ll be inter­est­ing enough to con­tinue blog­ging.
