blodeueddOMG, 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

Date: 2009-06-05 06:05 am (UTC)I totally thought of Jirou when I saw Rio on the screen too! I love how he's all "Sorry grandma!" and kisses his cross <333 So you've met CheerBoy Hamada and seen him and Izumi bicker like an old married couple? Heee I love me some Hamada~~
And yeah.. Mihashi and Abe... just wow... they OOOZE gayness. It's not called gaysball for nothing XD
My favorite moment was on the bus in episode two where Tajima starts freaking out about his penis exploding due to forgotten masturbation. Tajima makes the world go round~

Date: 2009-06-05 03:42 pm (UTC)I'm really liking it; I may just have to pick up the manga! Though it's a bad, bad thing you've done, because now I'm tempted to look for gay baseball doujinshi. Because, you know, gay tennis just isn't enough! @_@;;;
And, YES! Tajima DOES make the world go round! XDDD

Date: 2009-06-06 07:20 am (UTC);_____________________________; I envy your ability to just walk into a manarake and get oofuri doujin.... I miss me some Izu/Hama shelf... and Rio/Junta... Mihashi/Kanou... Izu/Mizu... Mizu/Sakae... OMG IF YOU EVER SEE A MIZUTANI/SHINOOKA PLEASE BUY IT FOR ME AND I WILL SEND YOU MONEY OR CANADA THINGS OR SOMETHING! I'm not sure if those two actually get doujin made of them but... I want me some red head love! ;______; someone has to make at least one doujinshi of them right? (hahahaha in my dreams...)
I love when they go to Mihashi's house and what's the first thing Tajima does? Jumps on his bed and says "Where's your porn?" while looking around frantically XD
