Oblivion Battery

Oblivion Battery is a modern school-set sports comedy anime adapted from the manga by Mikawa Eko, blending the energy of shounen storytelling with laugh-out-loud humor on the baseball diamond. Produced by MAPPA, the series is helmed by director Nakasono Masato with series composition by Yokote Michiko. Featuring Kei Kaname, Shunpei Chihaya, Haruka Kiyomine, Aoi Toudou, and Tarou Yamada, this is a fresh take on competitive sports anime you won't want to miss.

In the world of middle school baseball, pitcher Haruka Kiyomine was feared for his powerful arm, while catcher Kei Kaname — known as the "Skilled General" — earned his reputation through sharp tactical thinking. Together, they formed a dominant battery that no opponent could overcome, drawing recruitment offers from elite baseball programs all across Japan. Yet despite all the attention, both players ended up at Tokyo Municipal Kotesashi High School, an institution with virtually no baseball pedigree to speak of. Adding another twist of fate, several former star players who had once faced — and fallen to — this legendary duo, and had since drifted away from the sport, also find themselves enrolling at the very same school. Oblivion Battery follows these young athletes as their unexpected reunion on the diamond sparks the beginning of a brand-new high school baseball journey.
