Let's play ball! First up to bat is Angelo, taking a swing at volumes five and six of RahXephon. Click on the respective link to see why the fifth volume is a clean hit, but the sixth turns out to be just a foul. Secondly, RPGuy steps up to the mound to face off against Geneshaft Volume 2 and Animation Runner Kuromi. Click here to get a close up look how Geneshaft's second volume is a near miss, and here for a replay of Kuromi making it to first base, in spite of its "anime about making anime" premise. Finally, our pinch hitter Puppet Princess takes the stand with a second showdown with the source of these baseball analogies, the first volume of Princess Nine. Volume one doesn't quite turn out to be a home run, but by clicking here you can check out how it's still enough to score a runner back to home plate.
