Battery English Sub & Dub

About Battery

If you are hunting for a new sports series, Battery deserves a look (2016). The setup goes like this. The setup: At only 12 years old, Takumi Harada is already hailed as a prodigious baseball pitcher. But when his family moves to the backwater town of Nitta, Takumi has no choice but to join his new school's unskilled baseball team.

Along the way, this development has little effect on the boy, as he believes it is more interesting if this no-name club grows into a powerhouse due to his presence. However, due to his overwhelming talent, Takumi is in need of a catcher able to keep up with his pitches. His worries are soon put to rest after meeting Gou Nagakura.

In a sports series like this, training arcs, rivalry and match tension keep the stakes personal. This one is best suited to anyone who likes underdog stories and competition.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Zero-G, which means the visual identity of Battery follows that studio's craft. The sports focus matters here: training arcs, rivalry and match tension keep the stakes personal. Its 5.7/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Released in 2016, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
