| Hype hype! |
 |
| I HEARD ABOUT THIS AND I'M SO EXCITED MY INSIDE MIGHT EXPLODE |
 |
| I totally didn't see this coming |
| Haven't seen Major yet. Great news for the fans. |
 |
| I plan to watch the series and read the manga in the future. Heard good things about the series before. |
 |
| Finally, some good news! :D |
| Sounds exciting. Gives me more reason to finish up the series |
 |
| Sport manga. Not that interested but good news for fans |
 |
| There's going to be more? But why? It had a perfect ending or is this going to be about Goro's kids? Anyway, I'm glad to hear this since it's one of my fave sports manga! it was totally unexpected btw |
| Loved the anime, didn't read manga, but BIG fan of anime. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| pLEASE DONT WAKE ME UP |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| woah. totally unexpected. Having Shigeno's story wrapped, most likely this will be about his kids, or maybe a new set of characters?. In any case, I'm excited for this. |
 |
| Damn, that is surprising. THANKS FOR GIVING ME A REASON TO REWATCH ALL OF MAJOR. Gonna be gud even if the sequel turns out weird (thanks for partly ruining my enthusiasm jpem :P) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Sweet news! |
| hi |
| Great news! |
| That's some major news. |
 |
| OMG! More Major is always welcome but a sequel?! I can't wait! |
 |
| Just hoping they wont screw this one up. I think it would be better if they started another storyline, with the events that happened in the past as a background. |
|
| The Anime is amazing, I highly doubt the Manga will go more into Goro's story though it is fine the way it is so I am hoping that he focuses on somebody else. |
VanishingKira said: Been interested in starting this series ever since I saw Diamond no Ace,with a sequel in the works will get to watching all the seasons at some point in the future. This pretty much. |
 |
| Already heard about this on ANN/Crunchy. I'm looking forward to this, but at the same time, I'm scared they might mess up badly. But this: Higashi_no_Kaze said: THANKS FOR GIVING ME A REASON TO REWATCH ALL OF MAJOR. |
| WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT HYPE LEVEL OFF THE CHARTS |
| Like most everyone mentioned already...this comes off as extremely unexpected. Hopefully this gets animated too like the rest of the series was. |

Top 3 sport anime for sure, but I would like to see the rest of Slam Dunk's manga finished more than a sequel to Major. I thought the ending they had was great. I would like more, but it was left off pretty well. At least it was left off better than Slam Dunk was. The manga did finish though. |

CashMoney said: I think he is talking about the anime because the Slam Dunk anime did not complete the manga it ended on filler if i'm not mistaken Well, the manga is accessible, so it's kind of a first world problem to complain about that, haha. Like Oofuri, Chihayafuru, and many others don't even have updated scanlations and aren't completed. :/ |
mayukachan said: Still waiting for season 3 for both of them ;A; i guess im gonna have to read the manga of bothCashMoney said: I think he is talking about the anime because the Slam Dunk anime did not complete the manga it ended on filler if i'm not mistaken Well, the manga is accessible, so it's kind of a first world problem to complain about that, haha.

ReaperCreeper said: badum tss.....That's some major news. on topic i guess it's time to watch all major series for marathron.. |
 |
| As someone who thinks highly of the Major anime series and its six seasons, I think the series no longer needs another anime. I feel that a bulk of the series has been animated and done well, and the animated media had already ended with closure. |
 |
| I heard how far this series went, but I've only seen the first season so I really wonder how this is gonna go. |

| Well this was a good reminder to get started on reading/watching Major. |
“Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |
| I thought the main character injured both his shoulders, unless that's some anime-only stuff. |
| so goro is going to have a baby in this sequel?! |
| One of my favourite sports anime getting a manga sequel? Awesome |

The only adaptation I seek is a full adaptation of the World Series Arc, as they reduced it to only 2 episodes as an OVA. Seriously, all I care about is my Golden Battery. |
| i've been thinking that maybe it's going to be more about goro's kids than about him to be quite honest. but really... i'll take anything i can get even though i still don't view the message ova as canon to this day. |
