“The one and only passion”
The Story…
It’s the sum of all the first four episodes where dreams really came true. The story is about the final stage where baseball players live their dream as a professional. In this series, the final stage is a stage that is not common but it takes place in an event of which you didn’t expect at most. Surely in this path there are obstacles that will stop you but it also helps you to grow stronger.
The main attraction here would be about baseball and its spirit. As you watch this series most of the characters will be talking about baseball. Baseball with obstacles, perseverance, competitiveness, and spirit will go on through the series. The way it attracts is through its essence, and different playing styles and techniques.
The flow and other attraction of the story is good, you will not be bored on it rather you may think that there’s missing on it. Obstacles, perseverance, competitiveness, and spirit give twist and tale to tell on the series.
Art & Animation…
The art & animation is nicely done. The backgrounds of a baseball theme and the scenery of it, the people cheering and extras, other minor details, and even the OP and ED are all beautiful. The characters are drawn physically different from the other series that gives development of the story and characters which is greatly affects the uniqueness of it.
Sound…
The sound is a perfect match on the series. All the tense, cheering, and reactions are suitable to the art and animation, and its story. OP and ED song which gives hint of what the essence of the story is all about. It gives a very satisfying sound that will be heard throughout the series which increase excitement and thrill.
Character…
One impression about the main character, Goro, is that his stubbornness always brings excitement and suspense to the show. He’s a guy who has no fear in front of a batter, always in a high spirit when in the mound, and a sportsman to its fellow player.
Also Toshiya, Joe Gibson, and Joe Gibson Jr. also give a lot of help on giving excitement, thrill, twist, suspense through the story. These very helpful characters give worthy watching of the series.
Enjoyment…
The enjoyment is about on how Goro surpass all the trials and achievement of his dreams. The game plans, tales and passion through that are what the series is all about. All are good because it’s composed of a nice story, art & animation, sounds and characters.
Overall…
A great sum up of the series which gives great thrill and excitement, sounds, story, art and animation.
9/10 overall…
**Watch the prequels to maximize the enjoyment and understanding about the story. Hope it helps =)

Okay first of all this is by far the best baseball anime ever made...
This anime is similar to the 4th season of major and a little of 3rd but with a little twist. Season 5 of Major starts off by telling us of the world baseball tournament and that will be held soon (sorry date not yet available) and about the Japanese that will soon be recruiting members for its team. No more INFO,if you want more information about Major please feel free to contact me in my profile and ill tell you more about this season or previous ones...

While Major revolves around Baseball, Capeta's about racing. Despite being sports, the essence of both stories are about a boy who struggles through all hardships chasing their dreams. Its another heart warming, motivating series worth watching.
Capeta, left with a widowed father had forced himself to be self reliant from young. Surviving poverty, Capeta has given up on indulgence in every way he could. What he just couldn't give up, was his desire to race. Even when he knew that racing was not a sport for the impoverished.
With no money, no sponsor, Capeta fought the odds supported by his friends and fueled by the desire to carry on- no matter how.
