About Cinderella Nine

Here is what Cinderella Nine (八月のシンデレラナイン) is about, retold in plain terms: a slice of life and sports anime by TMS Entertainment and Studio Comet (2019). What the story covers: Tsubasa loves baseball so much, she started her high school’s baseball club herself! But passion alone won’t keep a club alive, so it’s up to her to recruit as many all-star players as she can.

More of the story: Some potential recruits have never played before while others have returned to the game thanks to Tsubasa, and together they’ll form a team united in love for the game and their growing friendship. Whether they win or lose, one thing’s for sure: Every game they play together is sure to be a home run!

In a slice of life series like this, small, quiet moments and character warmth are the main appeal. Akane Ukita (Yumiri Hanamori) and Tomoe Kawakita (Honoka Inoue) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who want a calm, character-first watch. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
