SpideyWrex said:Does it require knowledge of baseball jargon? Because that's the reason why I got so bored watching "Ookiku Furikabutte" and dropped it. Baseball isn't really a national sport in Singapore (soccer is, or as we like to call it, "football"), so I'm not familiar with a lot of the terms in the sport. It got so annoying when the anime used all these unfamiliar words and expected me to understand what's going on.
No it doesn't require any knowledge of baseball.
The same goes to most of the bet popular sports anime like Haikyuu, Diamond no ace, Hikaru no go etc
