Sounds like an interesting series. I'm not too familiar with the studio though but the PV looks neat.

I loved the j-drama for this series so I'm looking forward to it.
The catcher's accent is adorable.♥
Bonus for me, it'll be on Prime since it's in the Noitamina block.

My thought process while reading this:

1. Baseball... eh, not gonna be my kind of thing.

2. Promo image has two guys, nobody else. Huh. Most sports series have the team thing going on.

3. "Takumi is a pitcher, and after the moves he loses faith in his own talent, when suddenly his classmate Kō Nagakura appears in front of him. Kō has a strong desire to form a "battery" (a combination of a pitcher and catcher) with Takumi." Hmmm...

4. Original novels are by the author of No. 6.... OK, this will probably be my kind of thing. Wink

I mean... It looks ok. People involved in creation interest me more than actual premise of the show. Still going to check it out tho

Might turn out to be good. Ping Pong was excellent, and while I'm sure Battery will be completely different, I think it will focus on the characters more than the sports because it will probably only be 11 or 12 episodes, and the source material is already finished.

With shitty manga there can be only half-ass good anime.

Do not watch it guys.

No. The 6.5 is a result of a mere 16 votes. That's worth nothing.
Besides the original material are the novels, not the manga.

Why haven't people realised that a shitty manga/anime can come from a good source material?And yes we are defending it and you are hating on it without haven't read it first and basing your opinion on 16 other people who have read the manga adaptation on it and not the original gj

And did you even read it yourself? It's only 16 votes which are literally nothing plus you even belive in MAL scores. The novels have even won a prize before. Your logic is probably the stupidest I've seen. If you're not trolling then man you're pathetic.
