Being a seinen (so far) focusing on professiona baseball field in Japan, the setting of Gurazeni seems more cut out for a live-action drama than an anime, especially when designs of main characters are qutie simplistic, and do not fall within the current sense of "hot husbando". That being said, Gurazeni is still an enjoyable slice of life comedy involving realistic concerns such as salaries, and the difference between high school baseball team life and career as a professional baseball player, which is quite different from the passion of shounen genre. It also gives the audience an insight into profesional baseball field, such as explaining baseball playerstatistics, for those interested to learn, and concerns of baseball team management board behind the glamour of keeping a star player.

Overall, while Gurazeni is not made out for typical anime audience, it is still enjoyable as a light-hearted sneak peek into the professional sports field in Japan.

Side note: the Ending Theme is really cute, hope to hear its full version. The girls in the OP and ED have so far not yet presented themselves, most likely as family members/ acquaintances. I hope they can still keep the comedic pace.
