If you enjoy sports anime, this will be a good watch. Similarly, both have characters "grow" throughout their careers and depicts their fight against stronger opponents and how they manage to overcome them.

Major covers baseball, which has more aspects to work with as compared to boxing, due to teams being involved. This also means more characters to develop (although HnI does develop its other characters too) and a heavy focus on teamwork.

Story: The story focuses on Honda Goro, who is in kindergarten when the show starts. The first quarter or so of the series focuses on Goro in kindergarten and just est... read more

Major is a definite must-see for anyone that enjoys sports anime/manga. The plot is pretty much your typical addictive shonen sports anime, but there is some noteworthy drama elements in there as well. I personally enjoyed the series very much, some parts were definitely tear-jerkers, the rest was adrenaline packed baseball.
The character development is well done, you either sympathize, hate or fall in love with them X3. Also the graphics and sound are all good so that does not deter fr... read more
