The CyberAgent ANIME YouTube channel has released the ending animation of the Catch Me at the Ballpark! anime.
Illustrator Doromizu is credited with the animation, which is heavily dominated by orange and pink and features stylized character designs that also pair well with the weight of the dancing animation. San Blas Animation produced it.
The ending song is “Ballpark de Shake! Don’t Shake!,” which is performed by the show’s five beer-vending girls.
Catch Me at the Ballpark! is based on Tatsuro Suga‘s The Catcher in the Ballpark! (Ballpark de Tsukamaete!) manga. Crunchyroll describes the anime as:
To escape his tiring job, weary Murata finds escape at a nearby baseball stadium. While the games are thrilling, it’s Ruriko, the gyaru as cold as the beer she serves but secretly a sweetheart, who keeps him coming back. As her first regular, Murata discovers the warmth behind her frosty demeanor, and their hilarious, heartwarming encounters light up the ballpark and maybe even their hearts.
The anime premiered on April 1 JST (effectively April 2 at 12 AM JST). The manga debuted in September 2020 in Kodansha’s Morning and has 16 volumes as of March 2025.
