About Gurazeni: Money Pitch

Meet Gurazeni: Money Pitch (グラゼニ), a comedy, drama and sports anime by Studio DEEN (2018). Here is the premise in a nutshell. In short: The "baseball money survival" story focuses on a baseball team that operates as a highly-stratified society, where the player's performance determines his annual salary. The story follows an eight-year relief pitcher with an odd left-handed side-arm throw as he fights to survive under the team's strict system.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Fukushi Ochiai as Natsunosuke Bonda and Daisuke Namikawa as Tokunaga.
