Woohoo! Can't wait to see the old battery together again.

Was kinda pissed that he missed his date but for some reason I wasn't surprised.

Zone Anime's subs were good, good video quality and the translations seemed accurate (as far as I can tell, which aint much). Next episode looks awesome!

Momoko really needs to knock some sense into her kid. I mean, seriously. She should have put her foot down and forced Goro out the door.

Poor Shimizu.

Yeah, she really should have. I'm really excited that there is finally romance. I'm really excited for this season.

As for the subs. I thought Zone did a pretty decent job. Pretty good translation, good video quality, and it was a pretty quick sub.

Ohh shit i completely forgot this started already.

The romance i didn't care for, but the rest of the episode was pretty perfect. Even though it's pretty obvious he'll end up representing japan.

Can't wait for some Toshi+Gooro action.

yeah that is strange. over 80% of votes so far are 8 or higher, so i have no idea how the score is below 8.

Damn that was pretty sad for Shimizu being stood up by Goro :/ As usual he only thinks of baseball. Can't wait to see what happens when shit gets serious between them. :p

Excited to see Toshi-Goro battery once again, and Toshi's shocked expression after seeing Goro's growth. :p It must be kind of frustrating for Goro though. Cause Mayumura and Toshiya made it so far after a year playing pro baseball and yet Goro has yet to join the majors. :/

I guess its a nice start of s5 but man, I was enjoying it until the end came where Goro forgot about Shimizu, that totally ruined the mood for me, although I was expecting this to happen... He only thinks about baseball afterall..

Hopefully she does at the start of the next episode. Its about time they resolved this with Goro and Shimizu. Yeah that was pretty cruel on Goro's part though he didn't mean it like that.

They are both dummies when realizing their feelings for each other though Shimizu finally started to fully realize this episode.

To be honest, I wish Shimizu would move on. Her entire plot line is her mooning over Goro. I'd like to see her do some more interesting things instead of just being a walking plot device for a badly written romance sub-plot.

Nice first episode! oh the clueless Goro. but can't blame him hes so focused on baseball. Shimizu should have known he would get caught up in something.
I like romance but it feels weird in Major maybe I'll grow to like it here. anyway nice start hopefully I will finally get to see the battery I've been longing for since season 1!

I'm excited when Toshi mentioned the Baseball World Cup and the Japan National team!!! This will be interesting since I know that Goro will surely join.

But poor Shimizu. Well, that's Goro. Nothing surprising about him. But I love how Taiga is giving his sister a little push.

Hehe, I am really excited for the National Team!!! That means that Goro could face Gibson already!!!

Ugh, brutal, feel bad for Shimizu, he kind of got her hopes up there but not surprisingly he can literally only think of baseball, any other routes are lost on him (like dating). Although too be fair, it isn't that bad of him to have thought of that invitation as having a deeper meaning.

I agree with you, but at the same time if Shimizu starts to go out with another man from her college or something, I would also feel bad.

Gosh, he's so dense. But it look like redeem himself next episode. Because Taiga is a cute sister boy :3

The World Cup, eh? That seem interesting. Especially if we see a Goro/Toshi battery! :D

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttt, it's going to take Gorou the whole season to just understand anything about love.
It's to be expected, not a single time in the past 4 seasons has he thought about that stuff.

The one thing I hate about Major the most is the fact that everyone has completely forgotten about his dead mother.. They keep photos of his father in every fucking corner of the planet, but his mum? Nope. He visits their grave? Nope, obviously the only one who rests there is his father lol. Hey Shimizu, wanna say hi to my father? Not my mother though, completely forgot about her. Has she been mentioned at all since she died? It was so hard to watch this episode, I was waiting for him to mention his mother, but nope.. Who cares about her. Unimpressed.

Also Toshiya got the Rookie of the Year award? Hmph.

Oh man, I love Taiga now. He's such a great side character.

It looks like we'll finally get to the long-awaited romance this season. That was pretty awful for Shimizu, but at the same time I don't think Gorou can be blamed entirely since he's oblivious and was genuinely trying to help out in telling her she should go alone.

I'm really looking forward to this, even moreso than the World Cup stuff tbh.

i'm so glad they started the show with shimizu, she always was my favourite character, the way she looke for goro was better than i thought.
the pace was actually really good, one of the things that literally ruined the last season was the too rushed pace, if they keep this pace up it will really be amazing season.
i also liked how they turned taiga though to be supporting character to have important rule between goro and shimizu.
and of course goro will think more about the world cup, but he still a jerk leaving shimizu there, the scene where she left really sting my heart.

as for the ending theme, it was really getting back to the second rate ending them from season 2-3.
i also have the feeling the art has some huge improvement, and the OST was felt strongly when needed.
i really have high expectation from this season from it's story of the world cup, hope they will do it better than S4.

Momoko should smack some sense to that baseball-freak for missing his date with poor Shimizu. Interesting start of the fifth season with not only actual romantic development (finally) but also the whole world cup thing with the main goal of beating Gibson!
