Catch me at the ballpark Episode 09 review

Thoughts on Episode 9 of the catcher in the ballpark

Vignette 1: Tommy’s melancholy

Ruriko is late for work as she slept in, whilst getting scolded for it, she inadvertently gets held up by a dog who is sitting at the door. Meanwhile the staff at the stadium is looking for the same dog. At the end of it, Ruriko learnt an important lesson, whilst still getting scolded again.

I can see him Ruriko!

This was a very amusing vignette, it told the story of Tommy the baseball dog and how tired he actually is of fetching balls for his hoomans. It also told me that Ruriko is more of a cat person, hell yeah same here! I did get to chuckle at how good she is at pitching, trying to get Tommy to leave her. In the end she bonded with Tommy on how tired they are of working. Pretty much everyone gets tired of working, so it’s pretty universal. I did laugh at the end of my fav vendor girl getting scolded yet again.

Vignette 2: Mr Murata

Ruriko is selling her usual, this time something caught Murata’s eye, she was wearing a motorsun scarf. He explains that he has merch of the team too, that he values. A wallet. Ruriko finds Murata’s wallet on the floor, she goes off to find and return his wallet.

You know, that wallet does look tasteful!

This vignette is a sweet one. The underlying message is pretty obvious; it’s has been pushed throughout the series. Ruriko and Murata finding or re-finding each other, in a romantic way. They do it in a cheesy cliched way, she goes around looking for him, however they kept missing each other by a few seconds. You know, those romance shows that do that. Then they find each other at the end. My fav vendor girl getting scolded again is just funny. Whilst it is nice that Ruriko went looking for him, what would have been logical is to have reported the wallet missing first, logic isn’t her strong suite.

I’m looking for you too Ruriko!!

Vignette 3: Show your sun

The vendor team are having a meeting, Nakaizumi thinks Ruriko is doing a good thing by having sun towel on as a way to show support and advertise the merch. Meanwhile the team are gunning for the climax playoff. However, Yuki is spamming Kojiro’s phone for a strange reason.

Must be a good captain then!

I do love how Nakaizumi is taking a leaf out of the fashionista herself, in hopes to show support and sell merch. My fave girl does the towel well. I found it funny when her, Sara and Kohinata got scolded by him, they aren’t perfect workers, that’s nice to see. Kojiro as captain is asked to give a speech to the team to inspire them to reach the playoff. And boy hell he hits it out of the park. I was also surprised by Yuki’s behaviour; she refused to drink. There’s a specific reason why she refused the drink, I do love the little twist reveal as to why. A nice episode.

Wonder what the convo is about?

Overall Conclusion: 

Another sweet episode all around. Despite the first vignette being amusing, it is sweet that Ruriko bonded with Tommy who is just tired from all the hard work his hoomans put him through. The second vignette is the real sweet one, it was obvious from the very episode that there is attraction between Ruriko and Murata, and she finally finds out his name instead of calling him mister is nice. The team finally getting a massive break and not being seen as a banter club is also sweet, especially for Kojiro.

Thanks for stopping by, till the next post!

Madan no Ou to Vanadis Episode 07

Roland decides to challenge her. With a mighty swing of Durandal, he breaks Sofy magical barrier. This in turn shocks Sofy. She has a small scuffle with Roland. But she uses one of her abilities to teleport away. Mashas turns up and drives Roland and his men away. It turns out that Mashas was held up in the capital, by some assassins. It was only due to Sofy untimely appearance, that was she able to help Mashas. It is also to be noted, the king of Brune has lost his mind with grief. Thenardier and Ganelon are aware of this, and have ultimately taken over the castle. Issuing out orders “under the kings name”. They are the ones responsible for setting Roland on Tigre. Elen attention diverts back to Tigre. He isn’t doing well, on top of his injury he has developed a fever. Titta is nursing him the best she can.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Episode 1 review: Being reborn as an undead

Reign of the seven spell blades Episode 1: HP the anime

Thenardier has sent out a force to take control of Alsace. Roland is suspicious of this behaviour. But proceeds with the “order” anyway. Tigre has shown signs of recovery. Whilst not fully healed, he heads out with Titta to some field. The black bow takes them to a hidden temple. Elen and co head out to face Roland once again. Leaving behind all their injured soldiers. Roland decides to use a crescent formation, this way they can chip away at Elens formation. Back at the temple, Tigre and Titta stumble upon a carving of a woman. Titta recognises her as Tir na Fa. A goddess.

Point of interest:

• Tir is the goddess of night, darkness and death
• The bow may come from her, as she is the one that has holds certain power over it
• Roland broke through Ley admos
• Sofy and Elen teamed up to face Roland
• Roland is the only adversary that faced two vanadis on equal footing

Tir is now testing Tigre with the bow. She wants Tigre to shoot Tir/Titta. If he does and the bow acknowledges him, then she will give him power. Tigre has no choice, so he takes up his bow against his childhood friend and maid. Tigre takes aim, but as always decides he rather have their clothes ripped to shreds and not kill them. Tigre is riding in to battle. Roland somehow frees himself from Ley Admos. Shocking both Sofy and Elen. Tigre launches an arrow from a great distance, surprising Roland. Who is astonished by the distance he fired it from. Roland questions Tigre about the treaty of Zchted and Alsace. Tigre wound has opened up again, this concerns Elen greatly. But aids him in firing a shot to Roland to settle the score. Roland is defeated.

With the show now speeding along, we get to see Tigre becoming more of a lead MC. We do see just how strong Roland really is. As he easily faced Sofy and Elen head on and almost beat them, if it were not the timely intervention of Tigre. However Roland still takes the lead as the main man here, Tigre is just a boy -joke-. The fight was okay, nothing outstanding. The introduction of the goddess was an interesting point. How much of an influence she will play in the series, only time will tell.

Catch me at the ballpark Episode 05 review

Winning hearts, meal packs and when it rains it shines

Vignette 1: Ticks me off! – Murata special, this time around instead of going to the baseball park alone, he has his junior Shimizu joining him. In what can only be described as misunderstanding as Ruriko sees competition, and not just her Yamada as well. Had me grinning on this one

Vignette 2: The meal pack capriccio – Yuki is back and this time in wanting to support her husband she buys all the Kojiro meal pack, as no one she thinks is buying them, she’s not the only one though, as Kisa Konda the girlfriend of the teams pitcher is also buying her mans meal pack. An amusing vignette

Vignette 3: Different faces – In this vignette, there were some rain delays to a match. Ruriko is getting drenched in the rain, however that didn’t dampen her spirit. A father Koki and daughter Megumi were also watching the match, with Megumi reminding herself of continuing to play a trumpet in the school’s band in the rain. It was an okay vignette

Thoughts on Episode 05 of Catch me in the ballpark

Vignette 1, it was the classic misunderstanding episode. Murata initially came in alone however, Shizimu a co-worker that is actually a baseball nut sat next to him. Ruriko my favourite vendor girl got called over, which is a classic mistake move done by Murata. As soon as Ruriko saw Shimizu, jealously was all over her face, loved her pouty face. She gave a nice cup of beer to Shimizu, yet gives a dripping one to Murata. That’s where it doesn’t end there at all, Yamada also made a guest appearence. As she noticed her prince charming with the lovely Shimizu. This vignette got a huge grin out of me.

Yeah, know the feeling Murata!Exactly Shimizu!! see you’re on the same page as me!

Vignette 2 wasn’t a bad one. So, Yuki makes a return and this time she is buying meal packs, she wants to support her husband by buying meal packs as she thinks no one else is. What is interesting, however is that another lady by the name of Kisa is also buying meal packs of her boyfriend. What lead to these ladies, is actually competing against each other. Without realising that they are both in the same boat, they could have been friends. I found the ladies trying to out eat each other meal packs pretty amusing. The bit that did get me going a bit eh to them. When you buy food, you can’t return it. This is due to food standards, even if they are in a box, no way to return them.

This isn’t an eating competition ladies

Vignette 3 was a pretty nice one. It’s raining, with motosuns leading, and they have momentum. Ruriko is out in the rain without a rain coat, most of the cast were. Ruriko, even without wearing makeup, you’re the best vendor girl. Hands down. A father and daughter were also watching, it was pretty nice of my favourite vendor girl to encourage her, no matter what conditions are thrown at you, keep going. In a way this was like metaphor for the team to keep going. And would you know it, the sun shone on the team. A nice, feel-good moment vignette. Nothing outstanding.

Don’ think too hard Ruriko

Overall Conclusion: 

It wasn’t a bad episode, I think the first vignette has me smirking now, as there is a love competition heating up between Ruriko, Shimizu, Yamada over Murata. I’m still shipping Ruriko and Murata. Nothing really stood out for me in this episode, besides Yamada giving the thumbs up to Ruriko for giving a very dribbly beer.

Which girl are you rooting for to win Murata’s heart?

Two what Murata?

Madan no Ou to Vanadis Episode 06

The siege on Tatara citadel is going to plan, Elen is leading the charge.  As the two start to battle one another, Tigre is reminded the stark difference between him and them. In terms of power and skill. The battle was a fierce one, but in the end it ended as a stalemate. But before either one could continue their fight, an assassin made his way to both maidens. Tigre killed him with a shot to the head. For his troubles, Mila deducted that he was Urs. And proceeded to give him a slap to the face. Tigre and Mila patched up their difference. Mila declared neutrality, thus ending the 80-year connection between her family and Thenardier.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Episode 1 review: Being reborn as an undead

Reign of the seven spell blades Episode 1: HP the anime

A month has passed since the battle in Olmutz, with Alsace having new allies in order to defend herself. So Tigre sets out west, in hopes of establishing a base of operations there. The march west took it’s time. As Elen and co rest up. She is trying to get Lim to pronounce her army’s name. Titta is proudly saying “the silver meteor storm”. Lim is not happy about this chastisement. Nor the name, for that matter. Tigre not wanting to get into this little debate, gets dragged in regardless, with Lim actually telling him to stick up for his opinions a lot more. Lim is steadily becoming a favourite of mine. Tigre is wanted for treason against the crown a so a warrant for his arrest is put out. His title as nobleman is to be stripped.

Point of interest:

• Roland is named after the legendary hero in the epic poem of Charlemagne.
• This marks Elen’ first defeat in battle
• Durandal is Roland’ weapon
• Elen was reluctant to use Ley Admos on humans
• Mila ends her families 80-year connection to Thenardier

And Alsace under the kings control. The Navaare are on the move. Both armies have taken up positions in the orange plains. Roland wielding the sword durandal leads the charge against the silver meteor storm. Elen had no choice but to engage with the strongest knight in all of Brune. Roland charges at Tigre, who narrowley avoids his sword. And fires an arrow upwards. Elen and Tigre are now fleeing. Roland gives chase to them, when his horse is killed. However the plan didn’t go as smoothly. Tigre was gravely injured. With him lying unconscious, and Elen stuck. Sofy comes to aid her. With Elen retreating, this marks a first defeat for Elen and her army.

This episode showed a more aggressive side to Elen. As she went up against Mila. And Tigre was shown as to why he had little chance of victory against Elen back in the beginning. We all see the most typical knight you can imagine. Roland. Maybe he is modeled after the famed knight in history?. Roland leads the order of Navaare. An elite order of knights. Thenardier manipulated the king in order to label Tigre as an insurgent. Hence why the elite order was sent out after him. This shows just how badly Thenardier wants him out of the way. The small clash with Roland and Sofy was intersting. As it shows that Sofy isn’t some clumsy, air head. And that she is more capable than she lets on.

Catch me at the ballpark Episode 04 review

Announcements and appreciations… cause for a case

Vignette 1: Soul announcer – This vignette is about the announcer chirpy banter about a certain player, as it lifts the mood of the fans in the stadium. After having trouble coming up with new material she ropes in Ruriko in to helping her give some support. Left me with a slight fuzzy feeling, with a dose of hmmm

Vignette 2: The suggestion box incident Pt 1 – A two-part mini arc of who has been leaving a 10-page Ruriko appreciations messages in the suggestion box, it’s up to her to find out who were leaving them, so she whittles down the suspects. An amusing first arc

Vignette 3: The suggestion box incident Pt 2 – The conclusion of the small mini arc – left me with a small warm smile and a small chuckle

Thoughts on Episode 04 of catch me in the ballpark

Nagisa the soul announcer of the stadium

Vignette one was about the stadium’s announcer Nagisa. For about 5 years she has been playful teasing the best player. Each giving some funny quips about him, the point is to get the fans invested into the players and teams. I get that she has run of out material to use, however, to run into my favourite girl Ruriko who doesn’t strike me as someone who can write funny quips, is confusing. I mean she showed support to Nagisa, when she was struggling. The funniest bit is when Ruriko held the door to prevent Nagisa’s announcement being cut off, apparently aware of Nagisa’s potential hidden feelings towards Nokogiriyama, the best player. For the most part, this vignette didn’t really do much for me. Got me a chuckle here and there, but not much else. A let down I’d say

Yeah, dude the announcer has a big crush on you

Vignettes 2 and 3 were small little mini detective arc. They were about people leaving feedback and this one is about my favourite girl Ruriko, just who is the culprit that were leaving 10 appreciation messages to our favourite vendor girl. The plot isn’t heavy nor makes you think hard, it shows that Ruriko is charmingly dense, she gives these hard stares to the regulars (hint) and how it was revealed is a letdown. The answers were pretty handed to me, not that the answers weren’t screaming at you in the face. The spoiler is that all the regulars were the ones to show appreciation to our favourite vendor girl. As she brightens up their day, regardless of who they are. The other interesting thing is that Murata is becoming more accustom in to going and being around people at the stadium, usually he is one that keeps to himself. However, he greatly starting to appreciate the place. The mini arc is okay I thought.

The source of the caseDetective Ruriko is watching you!!

Overall Conclusion: 

Not the best episode, the vignettes, they were pretty weak to be honest. The soul announcer is by far the weakest vignette of the three watched. The small mini arc was okay, its purpose did what I already had in mind, appreciating Ruriko, her personality is what makes the regulars day and make them comeback. I found it hilarious that Dennis Young in his English, calls her his goddess of baseball. Mind you this with a Japanese VA, so it had me chuckling

Thanks security!!!

Madan no Ou to Vanadis Episode 3

War! The battle for Alsace is over for now. The enemy forces have retreated and are now re-grouping with the main force for a last ditch counter attack. With only 900 to take to the enemy, whilst still being outnumbered by 2,700. Zion not wanting to be bested by Tigre, had his men organised in to formation. With two dragons in the middle of the formation, any of Elens forces will be no match for it. Meanwhile during a strategy meeting involving Elen, Lim, Tigre, Bertrand and Rurick. Titta drops in and thinks Elen and Tigre are romantically involved. Lim had an idea which involves rope. It isn’t revealed at first. Tigre then had an idea of his own, involving some spare horses. Whilst being around Alsace, Lim gets to observe the town and notices that the people respect and show devotion to Tigre. This in her mind, puts her at ease. As she had shown some concern in Elens choice. With the plan in place. Tigre, Elen and her men are out on the battlefield, waiting to confront Zion and his men.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer Episode 1 review: Being reborn as an undead

Reign of the seven spell blades Episode 1: HP the anime

The counterattack is on. Elen and Tigre lead the charge against Zion’ forces. As they engage with the enemy force. Elen seems to enjoy being on the battlefield. Suddenly Tigre, Elen and her forces are faced with dealing with the land dragon. The enemy has them surrounded, so they are forced into the path of the dragon. With no escape at all. Elen’ forces are no match for the dragon. Even Tigre with his archery skills, has a tough time.

The land dragon’s skin is too tough to break through. When Lim and her force has come to break up one the flanks that is surrounding Elen and Tigre. this gave Elen a chance to deal with the dragon herself. For the first time, she uses one of her dragon art skills. She calls it Ley Admos. It tears the land dragon apart with ease. Zion is now on the second dragon. And making his retreat. With the promise of coming back with more men. Tigre has to make a decision. When he hears a voice instructing him to shoot the dragon. The voice is coming from his black bow. When both Tigre bow and Elen’ Arifar start to resonant with each other. Helping Tigre arrow land a devastating hit and killing Zion. Thenardier forces surrender.

Points of interest

• The use of 2 dragons was the first in the series.
• The black bow communicates with Tigre.
• Lim begins to respect Tigre – before she had doubts on him as a person.
• Tigre uses his cunning to best a larger force. This will be shown through out the series.
• Elen uses her dragon art for the first time.

This episode was an interesting one, as it put Tigre on the spot. As in the point of interest stated, Tigre use his cunning to best a much larger army. Despite him being inexperienced. But we steadily see that he is growing as a character. The family heirloom was also a noteworthy point. Just how did his family obtain it? And how come it is sentient? Is it similar to the vanadis weapons? What is the black bow called. These aren’t answered in the episode. As it focuses more on the invading army. We get to see the tactical side of Elen. She didn’t get to where she is, by just swinging a sword. Lim took a spot too. Her observation on the townsfolk and their opinion on the young lord, seemed to have mattered to her. And they sung nothing but high praises for him. Which eased her tensions with him (a bit).
