To begin with, I wasn't expecting much from Cross Game initially. I decided to give it a shot, despite having little knowledge about baseball.
I am happy to say that this is a really good anime. The main theme is baseball of course, but it also incorporates various aspects of human nature; emphasising on the daily lives, the relationships and the interactions between the characters. I find this refreshing and can encourage baseball-haters to not put this off at first glance.
The story is emotionally charged in nature, and it would be wrong to say anything more at that. It is safe to say that the story doesn't disappoint.
Animation as a whole is fairly good; Cross Game has a classic feel to it but at the same time does not look outdated at all. The visuals are unique in this sense.
All in all, I liked it. Personally, this is one of my favourite sports anime. Cross Game will suck you in and take you through a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Recommended.
Heck, baseball as a sport doesn't seem too bad after all!
