Sentai Announces New Titles

Sentai Filmworks has acquired domestic distribution rights to the Utakata and Taisho Yakyuu Musume anime television series.

Creator/director Keiji Gotoh’s 2004 adventure drama Utakata will be released in a complete 13 episode subtitled DVD collection on November 2.

The complete 12 episode “Taisho Baseball Girls” television series from 2009 will be released in a subtitled DVD collection on November 16.

I’m not entirely surprised to see Taisho Yakyuu Musume picked up as it was mildly successful last year, although not the cult hit that it seemed anticipated to become. It’s roughly 2/3 moé and 1/3 baseball. Utakata has been largely forgotten because it’s that sort of decent but not very memorable show. Seems like an ordinary second-tier acquisition.

    Watching the trailer for UTAKATA makes my head hurt. I feel as if I’ve seen five other series like it before.

    I like the concept of the baseball anime… but would naturally want more baseball then that.
