Major

I found this little gem from 1995

Does anyone know anything about it, was it a full ep ova that they did? was it only this small promo that they did? it would be really cool to find out more about this..

you can see how they changed from 1995 to 2005, its more releastic at least the pitches are blue and stuff like a super move..

Episode 16 is out.

Spoiler:

The last episode was a good one. Next episode will be about Goro and be also another good one. Unfortunately, due to protests in France, we will have to wait a few weeks for the translations to understand what is going on.

cool ep. but does anyone know anything about that clip i posted?

I could be wrong but I don't think Major was even considered to become an anime in 1995. I think it was just to promote "Major" the manga in the Shounen Sunday Magazine.

Episode #40 is out now as well.

I have to admit, I wasn't all that impressed with the first half of this season of Major, but this second half has started up quite well, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.

Spoiler:

I thought ep 39 continued what was a pretty good run for Major - definitely a stronger stretch than the first few episodes. I hope Komori doesn't fade into the background as a character, though - Toshi just hasn't proved all that interesting, IMHO - kind of a bland, stereotypical "good guy" personality, wheras Komorin's plucky underdog self-deprecation is much more engaging. He and Shimizu have provided a lot of the spark this season, so if this story goes where it seems to be that's going to be quite a letdown.

Well, I think it goes, but knowing that We can enjoy it in the same way, even if you know what will happen, well you still aren't sure about it, nor know some details plus being a sports anime, it makes it more interesting to see.

Major is a top 10 anime sweet..

on the other front does anyone know if season 2 is also 26 eps, cause with 8 eps left i dont know if they will get anywhere..

[Athanor]

Well seeing how it's well placed in the audience rate now there is no doubt about a S3 XD

[ragnarokr]

That would rock!

[Amuse]

Major ROCKS!!! Thanks for subbing this!!

Well since baseball is so big in Japan and since they won the 2006 World Baseball Classic, Major should be in the top 10.

After seeing new messages, I thought another episode was released .

Anyways, considering the manga, 8 episodes are sufficient to wrap up the current arc. Regarding the 3rd season, the producers might choose to wait for a few more volumes to be released before starting the 3rd season. I don't know the release schedule for the manga so I cannot say for sure how much time is required to make sufficient material available for the anime team.

Don't worry Sazelyt episode 41 shouldn't be long from now.

That's great news, Athanor - I thought you had translator issues and we were looking at a month or more?

I am getting really excited by this arc Major is having.. I hope episode 42 will be released soon.. I am just soo excited to see it. This training arc is very interesting.. I love these types of arc because of the obstacles that the main/side characters have to overcome.. I always love watching the results from it.

I love this last episode.. When Goro says "I aim to be a player who can run, hit, play defense.. an ace who will bat 4th!! Because I love everything about Baseball!" I got chills listening to him say that. Then the preview from the next episode has got me excited too can't wait to see it.

Only one thing has been bugging me alot.. Goro may have an incredible fastball, but eventually he is going to have to learn some other balls.. curve, breaking or slider is needed for him to become an incredible pitcher.

Promise kept; Thanks.

Glad to finally learn why Goro was rejected to become a pitcher in Kaidoh during the training camp. This episode was a good one overall, and the next few episodes will continue to be strong as this one. Now, waiting for the translation of the interesting events that will happen in the upcoming episodes.
