Taishou Yakyuu Musume
Synopsis:
The year is 1925 and Japan is still a country with socially backwards views, particularly on women's rights. One young girl named Akiko Ogasawara decides to fight for equality in her own way - by forming a girls' baseball team! She soon enlists her good friend Koume Suzukawa, and it's now up to the two of them to put together a team of like-minded and spirited young ladies. Under the able and enthusiastic tutelage of English teacher Miss Garland, the girls will need to bond closely, learn well and practice hard if they are to stand their ground against boys' teams and show a misogynistic society exactly what they're made of... while having some fun in the process.

add recSimilar in several ways, K-On! and Taiyou Yakyuu Musume are light-hearted and slow-paced tales about girls working hard for a goal and having fun along the way. The fact that they have different themes - music and baseball respectively - doesn't matter too much, as the anime spend more time on character interactions and general moe than they do on any particular storyline. If you had fun with one of these, the other ought to suit you down to the ground
K-On! and Taishou Yakyuu Musume are gentle slice-of-lives about a group of cute schoolgirls and their troubles forming and maintaining an after-school club. Each has likeable (though a bit underdeveloped) characters and a healthy dose of moe.
Both anime are basically the same thing. Except in K-On the focus is music and in Taishou Yakyuu Musume it is baseball. A group of children get together and do either musical or baseball activities together while attending regular classes as well as taking it easy the slice of life way. Taishou Yakyuu Musume takes place in the past where k-on is more of a present setting. If you liked one i'm sure you'll like the other.
The clubs they're working on are different, the reasons why they're working hard on those clubs are different and most of the characters are quite different. But both shows focus more on the interactiosn between the characters and the fact that both shows are about a group of girls trying hard to establish their own club and because of that, developing their friendships in these sweet slice-of-life series.

Saio Private High School has a long tradition of quality education; however, like many with other schools in this not to far away future its enrollment is falling and its tradition is failing. School is no longer a necessity in the path to quality employment and for that reason, many teenagers are choosing to skip it entirely; this is not the case with the newly transferred Manabi. She may be a whirlwind of humor and vision with her motto of go straight forward, but Manabi has the drive to bring the students of this small school both a new understanding of its purpose, and possibly a new joy in life.

add recTake a girl with drive and enthusiasm, add a bunch of characters with simple but strong personalities, mix well in a broth of moe and add just a tiny pinch of yuri to taste. What do you get? Well, you get both Manabi Straight! and Taishou Yakyuu Musume. The former is a bit cuter, the latter slightly more serious, but both the anime share so many elements, it just makes sense to rec them together.
