A cartoony & silly baseball battle with bunnies vs. tanuki is great fun for the fan of early animation. The premise is amusing and the animals are very cute, but the gags really pick up when the ball gets hit out of the park and into the home of clueless forest animals. The very simple line drawings showcase how creativity can thrive even with limited budget and resources. Stark contrast of black & white gives a classic ink-drawing feel that is graphically interesting. This short film is easy to enjoy even if you can't understand the (limited) Japanese narration. The music is a littlerepetitive but gives a ballpark feeling. I especially love the giant ears on the bunnies. :P It's definitely simple, but worth the watch if you like unusual old animation.

Watched it with voice acting and music. I don't know what is the deal with old shows being most of them animals, but it's alright I guess. the anime shows how baseball is important to Japan since ages.. it was fun to watch and cute, simplicity made it beautiful they didn't complicate it or make it detailed (baseball wise), liked it that way :D. Bunnies ears were very cute and funny, some expressions seem western influenced in some way, excited to see when anime will form its own way more and more over time, which I hope happen really fast hehe. I can't really complain much it doesn't havemuch flaws. 8 nyans out of 10.
