Mezzo Forte English Sub & Dub

About Mezzo Forte

Mezzo Forte arrives as an action anime by Arms (2000), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: For some individuals, baseball is more than just a game. Momokitchi Momoi, an underworld boss and the owner of a professional team known as the "Peach Twisters," seems to be the perfect example.

As things develop, there is only one punishment for players who have let him down: death. Terrible as he may sound, there is someone even more wicked than him—his daughter, Momomi. The three members of the Danger Service Agency—Mikura Suzuki, Tomohisa Harada, and Kenichi Kurokawa—are tasked with kidnapping Momokitchi and taking down his criminal empire.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
