Ghibli, One Punch, Fullmetal Alchemist artists create hand-drawn Major Leage Baseball anime video

MLB has just unveiled Heroes of the Game, an MLB anime video, and is promising more to come.

Not just an animated video cribbing from the visual playbook of influential hit anime series, Heroes of the Game was animated by artists whose resumes include such landmark series as One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist, and as an added bonus, MLB says that everything in the video was hand-drawn.

To celebrate, a short anime video was created by Ufotable, the studio behind Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but it turns out that was only the tip of the iceberg of the collaboration between Japanese animation artists and the North American professional baseball league.
