I'm not a huge baseball person overall, but I hold the belief that it's more fun to play (at least on Wii Sports back when I had a Wii) than it is to watch. What could possibly change that? Cute anime girls, of course! At least, that's what I was hoping would happen, but I'm getting ahead of myself. The anime streaming service HIDIVE announces every month which anime will be removed within that month, and the subject of today's review, Cinderella Nine, is on the chopping block for this month; since it was already on my Plan to Watch list (and Crunchyroll could quietly remove it from its own service at any time), I figured that I might as well give it a go while I still could. That was a decision that, in some ways, I would come to regret; although Cinderella Nine is far from being an abysm…

I've watched my fair share of sports anime, especially recently where I've been on a girls sports anime kick, and I have to tell you Cinderella Nine is possibly the most boring one I've watched so far.
Story: Cliche as hell. Cliche is expected in sports anime but holy crap is this anime just by-the-numbers all the way through. The only "interesting" part is that the club isn't a club until Episode 8, before that is is an "association". Additionally the way the team is formed is, for the most part, hilariously terrible. Characters are introduced and join sometimes in the same scene, while characters like Nakano join because reasons.
Art: Holy crap is the art medicore, or even bad. Characters barely move outside them playing baseball (Asada spraying the team with the hose is a prime exampl…

Based on the original game, the anime itself is a promotion for the game. The theme of the anime is obviously friendship, baseball, and cute girls.
First of all, the comparison people make to Love Live is definitely way off mark here. If you expecting love live here, then this is not for you. if you are expecting hanebado, then this is not for you. This is actually much more like Girls un Panzer.
The premise isn't anything new, the over arching story is nothing outstanding, each episode vaguely focuses on one/group of characters that fleshes out their back story.
The anime is pretty grounded in reality,there is no special power or anything like saki/hanebado, but all of it is based on handwork of training. You can't just overcome obstacles with friendship, but as a team sport, trusts is…

Cute girls playing baseball isn't anything new but Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine takes it into mediocre strides....ohh and the animation isn't too good either...
Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine is your typical cute girls playing baseball, the catch?...well the one inspired to make a baseball team in her school played before and she wants to play baseball. The catch is still cliche in some respects but the real problems lies in it's animation but that a bit later.
Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine's characters are probably one of it's more stronger elements of the anime so let's start with it's characters.
Tsubasa Arihara voiced by Nozomi Nishida and our main narrative focus is your typical genki leader type character akin to Honoka from Love Live but baseball, she's your all rounder in a sens…

TL;DR - If you can imagine a show centered around baseball and "cute girls doing cute things" then you have effectively already watched Cinderella nine. There is no noteworthy plot to be found here. As a result, this isn't going to be a long review because frankly there really isn't much to talk about.
Cinderella nine is one of the more questionable game anime adaptations of 2019. Originally an odd fusion of baseball/galge for Android/iOS with the basic premise being "Cute girls being cute and playing baseball". The player acts as a sort of manager for the girls. That's it. And strangely, the anime actually gets rid of the player so all you have left is yet another extremely shallow zero-plot "moe~ moe~" anime to add to the titanic pile of shows like this that already exist. Sadly, Cinder…

Once again, another by-product of TMS Entertainment's push to have more female-centric "activities" that are dominated by the male species. If you have no idea what I am referring to, go check out last Fall's abysmal "Sora to Umi no Aida" (Between the Sky and Sea). AND, OMG do I really NOT wanna talk about that anime.
As expected of a game adaptation, there isn't any resemblance of the story or plot, because YOU are the player. You help the game characters make out their motivations to keep going, because that is your party of characters whom you are growing together in playing and familiarizing with the mechanics, and aim to be the champion (of sorts). Then roll credits, and that's it. Take that away, and what you have is in-game characters doing YOUR half-assed job.
Before I start my r…
