My understanding is that Drucker is particularly revered in Japan. I'm sure I remember him being mentioned in David Halberstam's (God, do I miss him) excellent book The Reckoning (which traced the fortunes of Ford and Nissan as a way of comparing differences between American and Japanese industrial concerns).

Yeah, him and Edwards Deming, who I remember studying in one class. He was ignored by Detroit for the most part of his life but as wikipedia mentions:

this anime is very good. But again, it won;t work for US viewers. Sports anime are not popular. Business topic is not popular too.
We need someone with gut an money to bring this to US. |

I really enjoyed Moshidora, as did my son, who is 16 now. He actually brings up Moshidora occasionally when we are talking about baseball still. It was a fun concept with a bit of tragedy to complicate things and a very good main character. I will probably watch it again sometime soon.

Weird too since they had such high expectations for it due to the book phenomenon. |

I think i only started to watch this back then because i missed Oofuri...it actually turned out to be more entertaining than expected, even though the DRAMA at the end was a bit overdone.

I will definitely rewatch this eventually. It was fun to watch, and I really liked the drama at the end. I even liked the minimal artistry. Still I never expected it to turn up at this site, what a surprise.
Also proves Good Game is the best group. |

I'll admit that it was a bit overdone, but it was effective. I shed a tear or two... I really liked the coaches "no bunt/no ball" strategy. My son was saying it seems very similar to the style of play that the St. Louis Cardinals are using under manager Mike Metheny (though I doubt that he will never use the intentional pass...) |

I am really looking forward to the day when the interest created by one of these "Pile Of Shame" entries leads to an obscure title like this one getting licensed for legitimate streaming (or, heaven forbid, physical media).

If Area no kiSHIT got a simulcast I don't see why this couldn't.

Well, Buried Treasure (& even one Buried Garbage) has ended up becoming a seeming list of titles that have since been license rescued... So Pile of Shame resulting in some looked-over titles of the past getting picked up could very well happen. |

Thanks for the review! It was really interesting to me. I wish sports anime was more popular in the west. I just wrote an essay on the impact of sports anime, and I felt really bad for not including this. There's just SO much to cover and I haven't seen the show yet.
Interestingly enough, one of my other teachers told me not to focus on anime and mention some live action movies too, but I could only find the movie based on Moshidora (and Touch). I watched a bit of Taisho Baseball girls, but there wasn't really much to write about. Most of the essay was spent on Hajime no Ippo, Aim for the Ace, Hikaru no Go, and Chihayafuru. |

Speaking of Touch, I noticed that one of the difficult teams that Hodokubo plays against is Meisei, the team from Touch. Are any of their other opponents the protagonist team from classic baseball anime? Or was that just coincidence?
