Tribe Nine is an anime that takes a sport that a lot of people find boring and try to make a twist on it. So what do we end up with? XB XB = Extreme Baseball Now on paper it sounds like a cool idea since baseball is pretty popular in Japan. The good old past time game. So how to capture the anime community well you got to make it into something that doesnt resemble baseball as we already have past shows that focused on baseball. So how did it end up doing? Pretty average if I was to say it wasnt terrible as for me to say its the worst show of the season and far from good or really worth recommending it to anyone. It is a forgettable show that probably no one will be talking about or mentioned in the days or years to come. Something that will just like most other seasonal be swept away. What I felt like it tried to do was try to be unique like Sk8 https://i.ur.com/FDI61vM.gif https://anilist.co/anime/124153/SK8theInfinity/ What it tried to do was take something like skateboarding and make it an extreme version of itself that you still can understand whats going on but with a new twist thats anime. Since we cant just have guys skateboarding I mean I rather just watch the real thing then an animated version of it. Sk8 did a good job off that that it was a surprised hit. It was entertaining to watch from start to finish with a unique cast of characters. As for Tribe Nine.... How to sum up its characters... All pretty forgettable honestly I mean you killed off your best character so early on that you left us with a bunch of characters that couldnt really carry the weight of the show. I get that they wanted these character to grow and take over the show and become this amazing team.... but it didnt work. It kind of fell apart after the death of the one character. As for the main boss or villain. https://i.ur.com/8Jldei8.png Talk about one dimensional... hes basically a robot in a human body or a human in a robot body? I dont know which one it is but he lacks anything that makes you interested in him as a character. Sure hes OP... but thats all he got going for him. Doesnt really help when you have weak heroes as well since they cant really make each other shine. I dont hate this anime dont get me wrong I think its a average anime that if you didnt watch or dont watch you really arent going to miss anything special. If I were you I rather just go watch so many other shows out there if you didnt watch it as it aired weekly I wont want to sit through all the episode in one go. Its not worth binging or worth really investing time into. I would say though probably has this one moment that I really like... https://i.ur.com/xrIfu6y.png Probably the only moment I will remember throughout the whole show and keep. Since I do agree with that as a person who plays sport. Giving your all to win is the best way to win even if you lose you at least can feel proud about it afterwards. Thanks for reading this review and I feel like 5 as a average show is pretty fair of a score for this show.
