The baseball comedy Oblivion Battery is now streaming in its entirety on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub. Produced by the acclaimed Studio MAPPA, known for hits like Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, the series adapts the manga of the same name.
Oblivion Battery centers on Haruka Kiyomine, a once-legendary pitcher who mysteriously lost his memory and joined a high school with no baseball team. He reunites with his former catcher, Kei Kaname, a strategic genius nicknamed "The General," who harbors a secret that could derail their return to the sport. The show blends intense baseball action with comedic character interactions and the unique premise of a star athlete rebuilding his career from scratch.
While not reaching the heights of MAPPA's more action-oriented projects, Oblivion Battery offers a solid sports anime experience with a 7.53 rating on MyAnimeList. Its blend of shonen tropes, school comedy, and the compelling mystery surrounding Kiyomine's amnesia makes it a noteworthy watch for fans of the genre.
