Absolutely amazing that American baseball was popular in Japan all the way back in 1931. Complete with all the signals to the pitcher and with the base stealing and all.

Several American ballplayers made trips to Japan, including Babe Ruth. One US ballplayer even used his trip to Tokyo to spy for the US just before WWII, sneaking up to the roof of his hotel to scope out possible bombing targets and reporting them when he got back home. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_Berg

Nearly 90 years old and it's as well made as any animation done today. The characters move very smoothly and there's excellent attention to detail (shadows, facial expressions, etc.). No CGIs back then: every cell was hand-drawn.

Mee to, Im a 27 year old mexican Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins), my friends call me wubi-san. I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day. I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100% When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer! I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond. Wish me luck in Japan!

Are those raccoons or native tanukis (also called Japanese raccoon dogs)? In Japanese folklore, they are portrayed as mischievous and jolly shapeshifters, but also gullible and absent-minded.

It was first brought to Japan in 1872, and spread very quickly from there; the first national high school baseball tournament was held in 1915, and the first professional league was founded in 1936. In fact, Japan was the country that first institutionalized baseball in both Taiwan and Korea, due to the whole imperialism thing.

narration by benshi was japanese tradition for silent films. the best known benshi made more than the actors in the films! since it was done live i doubt this soundtrack is original (even if the script might be) and the fact it's a woman's voice make me think it is indeed fairly recent (50s? 60s?)
