Reviews for "Carp-chan: A Reflection on the Evolution of Baseball Mascots in Japan"
- Emily - 1/5 - I found the mascot of the Hiroshima Carp baseball team to be extremely off-putting. The combination of the oversized head, creepy smile, and bulging eyes is enough to give anyone nightmares. Moreover, its antics during games were more annoying than entertaining. I couldn't concentrate on the actual match because I was constantly being distracted by the mascot's over-the-top gestures and silly dances. Overall, the mascot was a major letdown for me.
- John - 2/5 - As a die-hard fan of the Hiroshima Carp baseball team, I was excited to see their mascot in action. However, I must say I was disappointed with its performance. The mascot lacked enthusiasm and seemed detached from the crowd. Its interactions with the fans were minimal, and it didn't succeed in creating a spirited atmosphere during the games. Additionally, the design of the mascot itself was unoriginal and didn't reflect the team's identity effectively. I believe there is much room for improvement when it comes to the mascot of the Hiroshima Carp baseball team.
