The original season for the excellent Big Windup! anime has been out for some time and now it’s getting some new streaming distribution. The full season has been brought from Funimation over to the Crunchyroll streaming service where it’s available in its original Japanese language with English subtitles as well as the English dub that was produced for only the first season.
Check out our review of the series as well as our Ten Years Later retrospective on the first season.
The series is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima (Big Windup!, Girls und Panzer, Another), and features animation from A-1 Pictures (Big Windup!, ALDNOAH.ZERO, Black Butler). It aired in Japan in the spring of 2010.
Plot Concept: Swing For The Fences!
Hot off the heels of their first win, the players of Nishiura High School are fired up for the rest of the summer tournament! Their next opponent, Sakitama High, has an incredibly strong batter. If Nishiura wants any chance of winning, Nishiura will need a quick shutout win! This should be doable for Mihashi and Abe since they continue to make a great battery, but at the same time, could Mihashi’s reliance on Abe’s signaling spell trouble in the games to come?
Hits and sprints, pains and sprains… Mihashi and team have quite a struggle ahead of them if they want to play on the legendary field of Koshien Stadium!
