Sports anime have been gaining popularity with each passing day, and fans can’t seem to get enough of them. Baseball stands out as one of the most popular sports, yet only a few anime incorporate high school lives into the storyline.
However, there’s a new and formidable contender ready to take the field by storm. ‘Oblivion Battery’ follows the journey of two high schoolers as they embark on their baseball journey, crushing their opponents’ dreams along the way.
Two promotional videos for the ‘Oblivion Battery’ baseball anime were revealed. The anime is scheduled for an April 9, 2024 premiere.
The first promotional video features the opening theme song ‘Lilac’ by Mrs. GREEN APPLE. Besides that, the trailer mostly shows scenes from the no-name Kotesashi High School in Tokyo. We see the main character and his teammate practicing baseball.
The second video previews Macaroni Enpitsu’s ending theme song, “Wasurena Uta.” This is the first time that the sound sources of both songs have been released.
In addition, mini-character illustrations of all nine characters have been released. You can download the images from the website using the link provided in the tweet below.
