Too much cheese that doesn't manage to be funny enough, try Cromartie High School instead of this one. I bet the manga is way better.
Only for fans of Troma films and bad anime. It had a few inspired moments but its too dumb for its own good.
Typical high school baseball team must challenge the most brutal baseball team ever. Hilarious! No thinking involved. The funniest movie that I have ever seen. No joke! A couple of the highlights include the screen turning pink while the main character breaks into a song and ... read more
Low production values and bad editing hurt this cult comedy action film, but it does manage a few laughs.

...very funny ... but it wears out its welcome ...
Can dismemberment be cute? Put it on a baseball diamond and the answer is... sort of. Full Review
Part martial-arts revenge parody and part faux zombie spectacle on a field of nightmares, and directed in the overripe, hysterical style of Japan's anime farces... Full Review
Not just excessively campy, but patently absurd, redeemed only by its sporadic fits of hilarity. Full Review
