Dynamite In The Brain

The big three baseball anime are Star of the Giants, Touch and Major. And none are available to stream in English. Current best bets in terms of continued availability are MIX MEISEI STORY (from Touch author Mitsuru Adachi) and Oblivion Battery (the manga is currently in the top 10 sales, so p. much guaranteed continuation of the anime). My personal favourite baseball anime on CR is Gurazeni: Money Pitch, but I think the 24 episodes produced is all you'll get, despite the story continuing across multiple manga series.

Jabrow (or Jaburo) is the Federation underground capital and main base in South America, which suffered less from the colony drop that kicked off the One Year War

I'm genuinely surprised Nick or Matt didn't pick "Big Hot Rod" for their self proclaimed.

Regarding baseball anime, Cross Game is my personal favorite. Ace of Diamonds is also very good and widely popular.

Brave Baboon

I listen to both pods (un)fortunately. Anyway, Ace of the Diamond (Diamond no Ace) is a baseball anime on cruncyroll. It rocks.

Nick, watch ping pong, the animation. One of the main characters is robot like

I noticed the simulation at the start of episode 9 had credits, too! Haha I just thought it was such a silly cute touch. So I marked out big time, to use a pro wrestling term, when y'all mentioned that!

The orchestral music playing during the Gundam battles in these episodes reminded me of the Pokemon theme music from the original Super Smash Bros. I'm not sure if this is the same music that plays during other battle sequences in the series or not, but I was being hit with a weird nostalgia for the N64 while watching this time

Seconding Ace of Diamond, Cross Game and Major for baseball animes, but also think Matt (or Wiger (or...HAC?)) would dig Taishou Yakyuu Musume/Taisho Baseball Girls too. It's about a bunch of high school girls forming a baseball team in 1920's Japan, kind of an anime Leage of Their Own. It's cozy as all get out. While I'm here, once again recommeding Nick and Matt actually come to Japan and go to a Japanese baseball game, as games here are next level. Every player has their own song that the crowd sing the entire time they're at bat and college kids sell you cold beer in your seat from a keg strapped to their back. It's a time.

Thanks for doing gundam, it simply made me happy.

I love episode 10. Who doesn't? Surprised to see nobody has pointed out that Shiro's Japanese voice actor also does the voice of adult Link in Ocarina of Time.

I’m so glad Nick is watching Haikyuu! Watching it last year inspired me to go play volleyball in my work league and I got really addicted to it.

Seth Bullocks

Not fully a baseball anime, but also psychological, is One Outs, about the ultimate gambler who becomes a pro pitcher whose pitch speed is even less than a high schooler, but he knows how to read the batters.

Trevor Charles

Is there anyway we can segue this into another mecha/sci-fi anime? I’d love Outlaw Star, Trigun Escaflowne (mecha adjacent) or maybe my all time favorite - Batman in a giant robot: The Big O or am I on my own here?

Watched Cinderella Nine, a girls high school baseball anime a few years ago. SO cosy. Just girls supporting each other and doing their best. Never heard of Tamiyomi or Taisho before, looks like that's my weekend.
