It does all the things you like from Princess Nine right, without all the unnecessary "frills" like love triangle and such. Very down to earth compared to the flashy One Outs. I like both though.

Some would say character designs are too old and the pace is too slow, but in my eyes Touch is the most enjoyable sports anime i've seen.

The few emotional overtures and the grand-epic thematic, I can still recall (even though I have the DVD boxset..) anytime. The stadium theme still gives me shivers when I turn into that scene. As for melodrama, can't argue there. But if the characters were any less likable, I may not have cared. I do wish they had a longer season like Major or Touch so they could flesh them out even further AND put in meaningful baseball in there. But what baseball and melodrama there were, it was still pretty good. Oh, and speaking about the music, I have to agree that it is simply EPIC.

I actually liked the story in this one quite a lot even though it was a bit cliche, it at least played the whole gender inequality thing right (not sure if it's as relevant now as it was 10 years ago though). As for the characters, they seem to resonate even till now. The way they interact with eachother was just so smooth and that's the kind of stuff you'd really want even in drama/slice of life anime. Fortunately, most of this show really was about the slice of life part that trickled down from the baseball. Definitely one of my favorites. I'm shocked you even gave this one a chance to review it, and then give a good review! Too many people keep hating on sports anime as I see it.

Basically its not too heavy on the sports side, good series to give a shot. :) I’d suggest more of Ookiku Furikabutte, its still sports anime but more of a slice of life as well.
