Superb pitcher Haruka Kiyomine and catcher Kei Kaname were once so dominant in middle school baseball that they were known as the 'Diabolical Battery' because they demolished the pretensions of countless players who thought they might be something special. Everyone wondered what High School would have the good fortune to enroll them. Taro Yamada was once utterly humiliated by the two and gave up baseball altogether. He has enrolled at Tokyo Kotesashi High School, a school that supposedly doesn't have a baseball team at all. To his great surprise Kiyomine and Kaname both show up at opening day ceremonies as well. But Kaname has changed--the boy who was once utterly calm and composed now has a goofy, undisciplined persona. It turns out that he has amnesia and cannot remember anything about his days as a promising catcher. It also turns out that this school does have a baseball team after all.

Boukyaku Battery
(Two episodes watched):
I thought I'd take my chances with a baseball anime and I was pleasantly surprised by what I got. This show has a mystery of sorts behind it and I suspect the main question will not be whether this team wins a championship but whether Kaname recovers from his amnesia. So, it looks like it will be about the characters rather than the game, which is always a good idea. At one point during episode one I wrote in my notes "I'm liking it". The jokes are fairly funny and I wonder where the plot will go. Surely Kaname won't just snap out of his amnesia overnight. In episode two we learn that Taro wasn't the only player who came to Kotesashi to get away from the Battery and baseball in general. Two excellent players turn up, and while for now they refuse to join the team they obviously will eventually. You sort of wonder, if they were so good how did the Battery break their devotion to the game so thoroughly? But whatever. Kaname can be annoying, but maybe that was intended. Word starts to get around to other teams of where the two have wound up.
