Line 3: 1925, Japan. The Taishou era is nearing its end, an era that increased the western influence of the Meiji era. Among other things, the now ever-present "sailor uniform" was introduced in 1920. Another sign of the times was the feminist movement, which began to gain traction. However, Japan is still a very patriarchal society, and even running is seen as a vulgar thing for women to do. It is to this backdrop that ''[[~~Taishou~~Taishō ~~Yakyuu~~Baseball ~~Musume~~Girls]]'' is set. A girl in middle school named Akiko Ogasawara is at a party held by her father, wherein the subject of feminism is brought up by one Sousuke Iwasaki. After he voices patriarchal views to Akiko, she becomes angry. She decides to beat Iwasaki at his own game - baseball. Together with her friend Koume Suzukawa, she tries to gather an all-girls baseball team. However, there are many obstacles in the way - finding enough members, learning how to play, continuing in the face of humiliating defeats... Based on a light novel by Atsushi Kagurasaka. Animated by J.C.Staff. Licensed by Sentai Filmworks in North America and released under the translated title ''Taisho Baseball Girls''.

Line 28 ⟶ 26: * [[Expy]]: Koume looks and acts a lot like Yurie from ''[[Kamichu!]]''. Minus the god-like powers, of course. * [[Forehead of Doom]]: Kyouko * [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Some regard Koume's rendition of "Tokyo Bushi" as rather ironic, since many Tokyo landmarks described in it will be flattened by B29s during World War II and the tune ''is'' based on an American marching song. Whether it's deliberate is to be seen though--it's simply a well-known song in Japan and the makers might merely have wanted to set the nostalgic mood which permeates the series. ** The lyrics, written in the Teens, also reference several landmarks ''already'' flattened by the Great Kanto Earthquake of '23. Take that as you will. * [[Genki Girl]]: Anna-sensei has all the tale-telling signs of having been one. Age has mellowed her out... somewhat. * [[Hime Cut]]: A lot. Line 40 ⟶ 36: * [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]: Tomoe's kendo skills make her a good batter. * [[Meganekko]]: Noe * [[Memetic Mutation]]: The daily thread on [[Image Boards\|/a/]] at 08:00 (server time). ** KOUME! It's eight of clock! WAKE UP! * [[Miracle Rally]]: Is that [[Mamiko Noto]] giving a (gentle, of course) [[Rousing Speech]]? Followed by a [[Theme Music Power-Up]], even. * [[Mistaken for Cheating]]: In episode 9, Koume's mom finds a photo of one of Asaka's baseball players that fell out of Koume's drawer. The parents assume that Koume is going out with someone other than her fiancê. They approach Koume, who in turn assumes that they're talking about her secret baseball training. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. * [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: * ~~[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]:~~* The street batters (and one pitcher) in episode 7. Ninja baseball duels!▼ ** Koume's epic catching in ep 3.▼ * [[Nakama]] * [[Onee-Sama]]: Tomoe and Shizuka, who have a huge fangirl following amongst the younger students. Line 51 ⟶ 48: * [[Record Needle Scratch]]: All the time. * [[Recurring Extra]]: "Natto, Natto, Natto" * [[Relationship Voice Actor]] [[Mai Nakahara]] (Akiko), [[Mamiko Noto]] (Yuki), and [[Ryo Hirohashi]] (Tamaki) also voice characters in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)\|Clannad]]''. * [[Mai Nakahara]] and [[Yuko Kaida]] (Tomoe) also have roles in ''[[Strawberry Panic!\|Strawberry Panic]]''. ** [[Saori Goto]] (Kochou) and [[Eri Kitamura]] (Shizuka) also have roles in ''[[Toradora!]]''. * [[Returning the Handkerchief]]: Takahara * [[The Roaring Twenties]]: The Taishou period stretches from 1912 to 1926. Line 65 ⟶ 58: * [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: That Akiko's fiance thought this was a major factor for her deciding to create a girls' baseball team. ** Also the principal of his school refused the challenge for this reason. * [[Token Lesbian]]: Tomoe Tsukubae, who joined the baseball team in order to be closer to the story's protagonist Koume Suzukawa. * [[Butch Lesbian\|Tachi]]: Tomoe. * [[Tsundere]]: Tamaki Ishigaki. Also Shizuka. ▲* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The street batters (and one pitcher) in episode 7.
