Synopsis

Gorou Honda has finally returned to Mifune East Junior High School, surprising his friends upon arrival. Now, Gorou is once again surrounded by those he holds closest, and he strives to continue playing and enjoying the game he loves most.

However, things do not go as planned, as Gorou is reminded of the harsh realities of baseball as he copes with an injury he sustained while playing baseball at Hitaka Little. Between new rivals, old friends, and mending broken relationships, Gorou must overcome challenges he has never faced before.

His goal of attending elite baseball high school Kaido may not be far from his reach, but complicated circumstances may stop him in his tracks once again. How will he deal with the immense pressures of the game? And will he ever be able to find the type of baseball he loves most?

The minute I started to watch the 2nd season of Major that goes to the second arc of the anime, I started to fall in love again with the anime - the sport, the characters and the development, everything stayed in the same place the 1st season left it, I actually found the 2nd more connected after watching the movie but it's not necessary unless you really love Major, so what could be a problem in the 2nd season?
The problem is not the 2nd season actually has a down point, it's not the fact that the slice of life genre isn't here, there isn't really ...

This is the best season for your inner child that loves to watch overpowered characters and one of the best in terms of rewatch-ability.

The Good:
-The soundtrack and art are amazing as per usual
-This season dives deeper into the relationship between Sato and Goro, as well as introducing many important and likeable characters to the series
-Goro is very strong this season, however, his strength does not become annoying
-More focused on the baseball and not the plot, so it is rewatchable and fun

The Bad:
-There isn't much emphasis on the plot for the series as a whole (the story is still fun)

Mixed Feelings

Writing review for other seasons is a bit pointless but I really feel like talking about it. I'll try to keep it short and straight to the point.

I really liked season 1 as well as the movie but this season I found quiet annoying and the main reason for that is Goro himself. As you know he is a determined and stubborn guy who does deserve some admiration. However this time it was brought to whole new levels which I did not appreciate.

One good thing is that Goro learned not to bash his team mates when they miss the ball but did it make ... him a good team mate? No.

He still is as self centered as usual if not more. It's all about him! "I'm this this, I'm that and all of you are trash." though it was put in a much nicer way. He never gives mound to anyone and gets totally irritated when things don't go his way "Put me on the mound, put me!". Yes, he does have better skills than some others but you don't have to rub it in their face! If you are that confident in yourself then make up for their minuses later on instead of glaring daggers at them and taking fun away from them! With his logic you don't even need other pitchers in the team! If he doesn't change his way, I'll be surprised if other pitchers won't try to quit from the team.

Another annoying thing is that he never learns! He broke his right shoulder and do you think it made him realize something? Nope! He still pushes himself like before, not giving a damn about future. he is so stuck up in present that it makes you wish that he would break his left shoulder too so he could finally learn the lesson! There is a thin line between being cool and an idiot and he usually goes onto the side of idiots.

Again, once it comes to fight for the dreams guess whose dreams come true all the time? Being MC sure is a blessing, too bad none of us is one in real life.

There were also barely any games this season, I mean game variation. Because one game managed to last for 5-6 episodes! And there were 2 games like that! All together it's already almost half of the season! Where is some kind of variation?!

Most of new characters were plain and barely looked fun, the designs became quiet lame too.

However, what I really loved in this season was the whole training arc on the island. It brought in more depth to the series as well as realism. Besides it is good to see what kind of exercises are there. Actually the whole examination process was fun with all the tests.Also we learned few more techniques and names for them.

Over all I'm left disappointed. Was thinking about mark 7 but I guess I'll stop on mark 6... I honestly hope that next seasons will be more exciting with some interesting characters and that it won't be Goro centered. I know that he is the MC but it doesn't mean that he has to be mister invincible whose dreams always come true and who always gets it his way. Just because you train all the time and are a prodigy, doesn't get you away from the injuries, loses and troubles.

Feel free to disagree with me but that's my opinion. Goro needs to get off his high horse.
