My roommate is really into baseball and we came across this one while looking for a good 'realistic' (no superpowers, just strategy) baseball anime. However, after giving it the three episode test, my roommate deemed it unnecessary to watch further as he was so incensed by the coach's insistence to destroy the MC's finely-tuned accuracy in order to make him "throw harder". I hope I'm remembering this correctly, but basically, he was on the catcher's side, in that the tactical advantage the MC provided through his accuracy was worth preserving. My question is, does this get explained reasonably? You say it is by a sports psychologist, so I imagine there has to be a good reason the coach pushed the pitcher like that which the audience isn't allowed to be privy to at first for the sake of being dramatically cryptic. Just curious as I think a lot of things can get a bad rap at first glance. Reminds me of moments in Hajime no Ippo or Eyeshield where the coaches get really racist at times, but it's still worth it to keep reading for the other parts. I still need to go back and give Ballroom e Youkoso another shot because I left off at a point where it looked to be getting really sexist and degrading and I wasn't sure how to take it.
