Synopsis:
Following a crushing defeat that forces him to abandon his baseball aspirations, high school student Tarou Yamada seeks anonymity at a new school. However, the unfamiliar campus holds a surprising connection to his past. He finds himself repeatedly crossing paths with the members of the team that dismantled his dreams, now students at the same institution.
The series explores themes of regret and the difficulty of escaping one's history. Yamada grapples with the temptation to revisit his lost passion as he confronts these familiar faces, questioning whether true closure is possible. The narrative unfolds with a quiet intensity, focusing on character dynamics and internal struggles rather than high-octane action. It presents a contemplative look at pursuing new paths while confronting deeply rooted emotions and past failures within a contemporary school setting.

Why isn't there more of this and why does it just have a 6. It's really funny and has the potential to become a serious but very comedic and interesting anime. There wasnt a moment i wasnt engaged. I'll probably read the manga now! Since MAL wants this to be a longer review. The plot premise is very simple. Prodigy battery from middle school disappears. Everyone assumes they'll just reappear at a private or prestige high school. The mc Yamada Tarou a former baseball player with average abilites quit baseball after realising he was a small fish in a big pond after playing against the prodigybattery. So he goes to a school with no baseball team where the battery reappears. But it turns out the catcher has lost his memories. nnPlot: 7nComedy: 8nArt: 6nEnjoyment:8.5nCharacters:7/8 - it's just one episode, with more screen time I think I'd come to like them more.
