I guess i can start the review with a little bit of history to explain how i started to watch this anime . I think the story begins 4 years ago when i was starting to read Cross game another creation of Mitsuru Adachi that i really love it and I writed a review . In that review i mentioned that i will watch or read other's of his creation. Why touch and not the others , well the answer is easy bc i did make a poll of What anime to watch between Cross Game, Touch and another long romance anime somewhere and the majority of votes choose touch and that's why I started .

Now that I finished with the history of "how I started this anime" , I can begin to write my review .
#Story
In story terms the anime covers four years of the protagonists' lives , which is a big thing for some anime , they usually cover just hischool years . I can say that the story isn't perfect in some place and in other place the story is more than perfect . For the example the first arc the Junior hischool arcs has the his good moments and his bad moments (one of his greatest moments was the introduction character and how they have a good chemestry ) . The worst part of the junior hischool arc was how they eliminate some characters so fast but i get it why , I like how the anime did a good job with the pacing in terms with episodic format and how they finished the story with the most of the character except

Yoshida (i wanted him to be again good )

But then every story has his good and his bad parts, but i really loved the story parts even the tragedy of

Kazuya's death

. Anyways my mark of the story is between 9 and 10 so i guess I will give a grade of 9.5 in terms of story btw the final is magnific .

Characters

I will not say the all the characters i will fix just on the three protagonists of the story and their dynamics .
First one is Tatsuya Uesugi the older twin brother of Uesugi brothers. Honestly this character i tend to like more and more because of his actions , You think that this character is a good for nothing but no you are wrong he is doing the things just for others to be happy, he is more of the character that don't like to show his emotions and puts his feelings behind of other people's sentiments. He is mostly direct sometimes and acts goofy just for the sake of the others and that's why I really like the character . Obviously this character is a hard worker and truly remarcable character .
The second one is the love interest of the twins Uesugi brothers and their childhood's friend Asakura Minami . This character is mostly said that she and Kazuya make a great couple, but her love is just for Tatsuya .I like how she is the only fire and the true key for succes for the both of the twins in the story , The dynamics of Her and both of twins are truly remarkable and you can see in how she speaks to both of them and how she supports them in the making her dream comes true. She is the only one who did know that Tatsuya was the talented one between the twins .
The third one is Kazuya Uesugi the little twin brother of Uesugi brothers. This character is very important to the story in the most parts

he plays the role of the tragic hero like how Wakaba plays her role in Cross game

. He is also one of the motives why Tatsuya joined the baseball team to begin with. The character might be simplistic but no he is one love boy who knows the emotions of his older brother and of his friend Minami about eachother but choose to try his very best to win his love to Minami and that's pretty much i respect about him .

The characters are mostly good , sometimes some characters can be annoying but mostly they are great and funny . Their chemestry are really great , for the example Harada, Niita's family (I mean Akio and Yuka) and Isami Nishimura ,oh i forgot to mention Punch , Koutarou and Eijirou Kashiwaba. Sometimes the relations of the character can be very subtile but that's what's great because it shows how much compatibily have between them . The overall cast is a 10/10

Animation

I guess i can speak about animation , I didn't find anyserious mistakes in the anime except of one mounth that wasn't draw in one panel so yeah . The animation was great for that time and i saw other anime from the 80's . I will not put a grade but you can guess that i gave better than 9 in this category .

Sound

Loved the openings , the audio and all others .It has a good flow with the story in the anime especially the song of Yoshimi Iwasaki but the majority of the endings and openings are her songs so yeah . The insert songs are mostly nice and catchy it has the good vibes on you (i am sorry but i can't explain any better than this ) .

Enjoyment

My judgement of enjoyment is very clear when i start and binge an anime. The grade of enjoyment is a 10/10 . Yeah i did have a good time with this anime and srsly i will recommend for all of the anime fans who wants a sol , baseball and romance anime. Yeah everytime my ejoyment are high in anime cuz i don't like to watch anime when my ejoyments are low , if i watch an anime with a bad enjoyments then i really hate the anime or i forced myself to finish the series even if i didn't wanted that.

Conclusion

I think my grade of the anime is kinda reasonable , i needed another masterpiece to watch and I watched one, Yeah this anime gave to me what i wanted all along a great romance story with some great moments and some interesting baseball games ( not really a fan of baseball ) . I will gadly recommend this anime for those are into sport and romance anime .
