Jun. 3rd, 2009 11:48 pmOMG, Erynn, you weren't kidding about the gay baseball. The first episode alone is gayer than the whole first season of Prince of Tennis!
A and I started watching the series last night* and so far, we've learned that, in Gay Baseball Land, the relationship between pitcher and catcher is the same as the relationship between doubles partners in Gay Tennis Land. That is, they're married:
Abe (to Mihashi): Stay with me, and you'll often feel this kind of happiness.
............ XDDD
Making "pitcher & catcher" jokes is just too easy, but they kind of come out backwards, since Mihashi is the weepiest uke to ever stand on a pitcher's mound.
There's a Jirou in this series! At least, there's a sandy-haired guy who's spent most of his screen-time so far (not much, but still!) asleep while his team mates watch the game.
Know what's weird, though? Watching a sports series that actually doesn't seek to throw the laws of physics out the window in the very first episode. I keep feeling like there should be dramatic rainbow flashes shooting through the sky whenever Mihashi pitches, or each time the bat connects with the ball, but there's only the dramatic, triumphant music to tell us that this is a SUGOI! moment. I mean, there isn't even a bunch of useless characters hanging around to explain each move to the viewers and/or cheer about how awesome everyone is!
Yeah, you can kind of tell this isn't a series aimed at 10-year-old boys... ^_^;;;
* We've made it to episode 10. Also, A is up to the St. Rudolph arc in PoT, on my recommendation, so he gets my "sparkly gay tennis" jokes, and between my giggling and his bassy-voiced chuckling, the neighbours must be wondering what the hell we're watching. XD
