Rating: Cute title with a sufficiently crazy and delirious idea at its core that could have been very entertaining.
The Seido high school baseball team is about to participate in the Koshien stadium tournament. Principal Kocho can't wait for the tournament to start, but he also has a recurring nightmare in which he sees his team literally torn to pieces on the battlefield... ahem, field of play. A teacher reveals to Kocho that their team's first match will be against the terrifying Gedo high school, known for the extreme violence of its players, who dressed as the living dead and dangerously armed, usually kill all their opponents during matches...
Unfortunately, almost everything was wrong in the screenplay, conceiving a film so idiotic it seems like it was birthed from the mind of an eleven-year-old drunk while daydreaming in his bedroom. Terrible narrative timing with acting as entertaining as watching a sloth in a coma. A sea of boredom marked by ineffective gags where there is a constant attempt to be excessively forced, wasting time parodying the sports/sentimental film genre, resulting in nothing more than making the viewer sigh.
Poorly studied, poorly conceived, poorly shot, redundant and hastily staged without consideration from the direction. Let's add a script so poor you can understand what the characters are saying without even needing subtitles. It might have redeemed itself in the final showdown, but even there, it devolves into a farce that deserves to be swept under the carpet. Two specific scenes are salvaged along with the final joke, which is probably the only thing that justifies the viewing of this abomination.
Praise is due for wanting to break the mold, seeking surreal solutions, and not setting predetermined limits. From this point of view, we need more films of this type, but on the premise that they are done well!
