‘The spring 2002 anime series Tamayomi is bringing some baseball into the lives of fans who are craving it since its April 1st, 2020 debut. With the show underway, Avex Pictures has begun streaming a digest of the first three episodes to entice people into checking it out – especially as some other options are withering away at the moment. It’s done with pieces from the episodes set against the opening theme song.
Funimation has the show for their spring season lineup with it set to land the same day. It’ll be available to viewers in the US, Canada, UK, and Ireland and is listed as a simulcast at the moment. But that’s no surprise as no dubbing is going on at all right now so any simuldub will be delayed down the line if it gets one.
Toshinori Fukushima is set to direct based on the series composition by Touko Machida. Koichi Kikuta is handling the character designs with Studio A-Cat handling the animation production.
The main Japanese cast includes Ruriko Noguchi as Nozomi Takamura, Rina Hon’izumi as Shiragiku Ōmura, Satomi Amano as Tamaki Yamazaki, Kaori Maeda as Yomi Takeda, Nao Shiraki as Yoshino Kawaguchi, Haruka Yoshimura as Kyōka Fujii, Airi Eino as Risa Fujiwara, Yume Miyamoto as Rei Okada, Rina Kitagawa as Ryō Kawasaki, and Marie Hashimoto as Sumire Fujita.
The manga comes from creator Mountain Pukuichi which began in 2016 and has five volumes released so far.
Check out the opening theme song “Never Let You Go!” by Naho as well as the ending theme song “Plus Minus Zero Rule (プラスマイナスゼロの法則)” by Shin Koshigaya Women’s Baseball Team below.

Plot Concept: Even with her “miracle ball,” junior high student Yomi Takeda’s pitching career ended in heartbreak. When she reunites with childhood friend Tamaki Yamazaki in high school, the only person who could catch her signature pitch, it rekindles her passion to play. To fulfill the promise made to each other as kids, she’s eager to step up to the plate again.
