Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I am eager to return to the field for a fresh episode of Big Windup!, as our boys continue preparations for the first round of the summer tournament. Having secured a matchup against last year\u2019s eventual winners, their practice regimen has been appropriately grueling, involving pre-dawn wakeups, drills into the night, and a thoughtful combination of physical and mental conditioning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most sports shows offer some manner of engagement with the psychological underpinnings of their leads\u2019 behavior, whether it\u2019s something as simple as \u201cI have to fulfill my father\u2019s dying wish\u201d or a nuanced array of emotional factors. But Big Windup! is somewhat unique in that it treats our base impulses as simply more muscles to be trained, with instincts like \u201ctensing up during key plays\u201d countered through persistent meditation and Pavlovian implanted associations. And all of this training is uniquely appropriate for a game like baseball, with its almost \u201cturn-based\u201d combination of passive stretches and frantic action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great sports writers have long understood that the science and strategy of baseball makes it a natural facilitator of Hunter x Hunter-reminiscent chess matches, wherein the efficacy of certain training regimens or strategic gambits can be made brutally apparent through close attention to the ebb and flow of conflict. I\u2019m eager to see how our boys\u2019 training pays off, so let\u2019s get right to the action!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 13<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cDazzling flashbacks full of smiling faces.\u201d The singer of this OP seems to treat these experiences in much the same way I do – as vivid reflections of old summer memories, rather than an immediate, ongoing experience. It fits the material well; many stories about adolescence seem to lack any perspective <\/span>beyond<\/span><\/i> adolescence, making their stabs at interrogating character psychology too personally biased to really offer much insight (to say nothing of their simplistic framing of adult characters). In contrast, Big Windup! is clearly a story about adolescence being conveyed from a\u00a0 perspective that has struggled through high school and lived to tell the tale, reflecting back with fondness on the ultimately fleeting struggles of youth<\/span><\/p>\n

This is of a piece with how I often say stories for actual children are frequently a bit more mature in their outlook than stories for adolescents. Your first brush with self-consciousness generally carries with it a certain myopia of perspective, a defensive need to believe that you\u2019ve \u201cfigured it all out\u201d at thirteen or fourteen years old. Children are less hung up on the primacy of their experience, so you can actually speak with them more frankly than a nervous, perpetually postering teenager, and art aimed at them can be similarly more honest. This is why, say, Precure has significantly better writing than most light novel adaptations<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like it\u2019ll last forever, but it\u2019s all over in one summer.\u201d I\u2019ve certainly got a few choice adolescent summers that stick in my mind. Live passionately, you\u2019re only young once!<\/span><\/p>\n

Some nice fluid animation as we cut in, with team manager Chiyo making a dramatic show of having been nearly bested in her quest to scout information on Tosei\u2019s batting order and strategies<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I could only separate the strike zone into four sections.\u201d Her notes are <\/span>incredible<\/span><\/i>. It seems our manager possesses a serious talent of her own, being able to accurately observe and record every aspect of their opponents\u2019 play. An almost necessary proficiency for Big Windup!, which is so generally concerned with overcoming pure athletic ability through preparation and countermeasures<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With team rosters largely set, and games proceeding according to such regimented sequences of back and forth, baseball really is a sport that you can plot out play by play beforehand, developing individual counters to each predicted movement of the board<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanai and Abe are immediately pulled aside by Momoe for analysis<\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, this is a very fluid episode! Mihashi\u2019s awkward bird faces are even more lively than usual<\/span><\/p>\n

Mihashi is eager to show off how balanced his pitching stance has become by pitching from atop a thin wooden block. Excellent frog faces to accompany his bird faces as he gloats about this victory<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number one on your back\u2019s fading. That\u2019s why you feel unsure.\u201d They\u2019re good kids<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAh\u2026 I feel better somehow.\u201d A silly gag that nonetheless embodies this show\u2019s general philosophy: victory is in large part a reflection of psychology, and psychology can be gamed<\/span><\/p>\n

Wonderful cut of Mihashi throwing up a ball and then being forced to catch it behind his back as Tajima grabs him. Such an expressive episode!<\/span><\/p>\n

Later on, Hanai\u2019s mother calls Mihashi\u2019s house, and the two moms enjoy a long conversation about everything<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Such careful attention to Mihashi\u2019s hair and eyes through these sequences! I appreciate the cohesive fluidity of his face – his cheekbones and chin always lean into the distortion of his eyes\u2019 shapes, making him look much like a pliable puddle of a person<\/span><\/p>\n

This conversation between the moms exemplifies what I was discussing at the beginning – stories written from a more mature perspective can actually include parents as active, multifaceted characters, as opposed to the constant \u201cmy parents are overseas\u201d or whatnot you get from stories still trapped <\/span>within<\/span><\/i> adolescence, at a time when the idea of your parents as flawed but experienced human beings is intolerable<\/span><\/p>\n

A brief gawk reveals Mihashi inherited his bird face from his mom<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to charge the camcorder.\u201d Mihashi\u2019s mom also knows well that these moments are fleeting, and thus must be recorded while you can<\/span><\/p>\n

More unusually fluid character acting as Chiyo meets up with a friend at the stadium. Their discussion of preparations subtly amplifies the tension of the moment, as the show intentionally draws out the reveal of our battle-ready team<\/span><\/p>\n

Feels like they\u2019re almost flexing this episode\u2019s animator crew as Chiyo\u2019s friend squashes and stretches her face<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aya Kanou was both animation director and did key animation on this episode, so presumably she\u2019s largely responsible for all this lovely character acting? Chie Yokomori also did both key animation and in-between checks, alongside working on the similarly stylized OP for Carnival Phantasm. Big Windup!\u2019s sadly not too well-represented on the booru, so it\u2019s tough to get more specific references<\/span><\/p>\n

Sweat glistens on the cheek of the game announcer. The summer heat is inescapable<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder why I\u2019m not scared even though we\u2019ll face a team that\u2019s way better than us. Is this the outcome of that mental training?\u201d In part, yes. But anxiety in a situation like this often also stems from a root source of thinking \u201cI wish I had done more to prepare,\u201d and these boys have done everything they could do. There is no sense of regret regarding their preparation, and thus no spark for a resultant fire of anxiety<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More delightful character acting as Mihashi freaks out again, certain his number one has disappeared from the back of his jersey<\/span><\/p>\n

Mizushima\u2019s certainly applying his resources smartly. Much of Big Windup!\u2019s drama is intellectual rather than physical, meaning it doesn\u2019t necessarily require luscious animation. But for this episode, the tactile experience of facing this implacable foe is paramount, and thus character acting drawing us into the cast\u2019s perspective is necessary<\/span><\/p>\n

Charming cut to the moms with their cameras. I now see the purpose of that earlier phone call – to seed them as potential members of the commentary crew, making this cut feel natural<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hanai\u2019s mom immediately embarrasses him by showing up right after the opening ceremony<\/span><\/p>\n

Momoe towers over Hanai\u2019s mom, who is dazzled by Momoe\u2019s ability to command her son. \u201cPlease, work my son into the ground!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mihashi\u2019s mom is as nervous around Momoe as her son. She also reveals that she wasn\u2019t around during his middle school era, which certainly didn\u2019t help his sense of isolation<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The two moms announce their intent to create a parents\u2019 association for the team, to help defray food costs and other expenses. Not only is this team bolstering the players\u2019 happiness and confidence, it\u2019s even improving their relationship with their parents, giving them a point of mutual passion and support<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamada arrives at their practice later, with two potential cheer squad members in tow<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamada apparently invited two hundred goddamn spectators to their game<\/span><\/p>\n

Izumi and Hamada were players on the same middle school team, making another link between Hamada and the main crew, and also giving Izumi a chance to exhibit more of his lackadaisical, kinda rude personality in the context of someone he\u2019s fully comfortable with<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently Hamada pitched so much as a kid he actually damaged his arm even before high school, a painful reflection of just how taxing baseball can be, and how important it is to respect your body\u2019s health. Nonetheless, it seems like the condition isn\u2019t necessarily permanent, so there\u2019s a chance he might actually join the team at some point. Regardless, his prior connections with both Izumi and Mihashi make him a useful dramatic irritant, helpful for revealing the history and personalities of our players<\/span><\/p>\n

Considering how much work Hamada is doing for them, Hanae steps up to his responsibility as team captain, and offers a formal thanks to Hamada for his support<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamada\u2019s new recruits briefly allude to the \u201creal reason\u201d he was held back<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We at last return to our main pair near the end of practice, with Abe scolding Mihashi for his failure to memorize the opposing batters\u2019 preferences. Abe is determined to work with Mihashi, but he still has great difficulty accepting he must work with the tools he has, rather than the perfect instruments he\u2019d prefer<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing trusted makes me happy, but it\u2019s a big responsibility.\u201d Nonetheless, after snapping, his more generous analytical mind is able to positively contextualize Mihashi\u2019s faith in his signals<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy can\u2019t you memorize even that much!?\u201d He still has trouble entirely relinquishing his own proficiencies in order to empathize with others, though. A very adolescent instinct, to consider variations from his own perspective as other people being \u201cdefective\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With that, the morning of their first game arrives!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

Thus our boys bravely set forth into the grand arena, ready to face off with the most celebrated team in the league. Their weapons for this challenge are diverse and numerous, from Mihashi\u2019s extraordinary control and Abe\u2019s strategies to Hanae\u2019s steady leadership and Tajima\u2019s ace batting. Additionally, they are further bolstered by the gifts of their allies, including Shiga\u2019s mental conditioning, Momoe\u2019s ruthless practice schedule, and Hamada\u2019s army of fans. Will all these tools be enough to overcome their opponents\u2019 athleticism and experience? All I know is that I\u2019m eager to see these long weeks of practice put into thrilling action. Onward to the first round!<\/span><\/p>\n
