English Dub Review: Mix “My Brother”

My bro!

Overview (Spoilers Below)

The episode is called “My Brother”, but really the focus of the episode is on a practice game between Toushou and Meisei. Hiroki Mita puts on a strong showing for Toushou while the Tachibana brothers get to showcase some of their talents as well, most notably To who gets a triple play completed on his first step up to the mound. Both get to showcase their offense and defensive capabilities while sisters off in the distance have their own sort of rivalry.

Our Take

You gotta love anime. Since the very first triple play, Major League Baseball have averaged about five triple plays a year and here’s To getting one at his first at-bat on a pitcher’s mound during a high school game scrimmage. He’s also a heck of a batter and took the opposing ace to a full count before being thrown out on a questionable call. Yes, I’m dripping this review with sarcasm, but I still had fun with it. Dibs to the narrator who does a solid job at calling a ball game.
