| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Crunchyroll is simulcasting Major 2nd! The episode just came out and it's amazing to see Major back! Nostalgic while still getting right to the point, Goro's son Daigo is not a baseball genius like the rest of his family. That fact alone will make this series very interesting because we will see the growth of Daigo, which was what made Major so good in the first place, Goro's growth throughout difficult times. The nostalgia hit me right in the feels when the first opening started playing, looks like we're in for a ride!! Also, this is how you make a direct sequel with the son as the new MC, take notes Boruto. |

| Daigos situation must be very tough,not being blessed with talent and pressured to meet certain standards sure aint't easy. Will certainly be interesting to see his growth and I'm also looking forward to see more characters from the prequel. Solid start overall,must say that I'm already hooked. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Never thought i'd see sequel of Major. Seems like Daigo isn't as talented as Goro. Will be interesting to see his character growth. Also, hearing first opening brought so much memories, can't wait for next episode. |
| That Major 1 opening when Goro leaves,right in the feels. Solid start overall,looks like by the opening Daigo will be a catcher,that's the first time a baseball anime is focused on a character other than a pitcher and that interest me a lot. I'm so glad the best sport anime ever made is back,7 long years i waited :D |
| Deep dark fantasies |
I have read some chapters of Major 2nd back in 2015 but it was just ok. But damn as anime it looks amazing. This meme says it all. |
| Another sports series and another remembers and feelings!!! Well, Daigo, Goro son, is here and want to be history in the baseball!!! Nice first episode although the quality animation was poor, but here it´s not th emost important!!! kekeke |
| I never thought I'd see Major 2nd be adapted. God I'm so fucking HYPED. Anyways, it started well. Just hoping it will stay well, though I'm sure it will. |
| woah there |
| I legit finished watching the original Major hours ago, going from 6+ episodes per day to one per week is going to suck q_q Goro's shadow is too strong for Daigo and he can't handle his underwhelming performance, let's see if Satou's son will change that. Seeing them bringing up characters from the original was so cool, and OP1 played as insert as well, damn! |
 |
| Well, Major it's back, and it's great. Somehow Daigo reminded me of Gorou's stepbrother, who also struggled with something similar in the sixth season. This series hasn't lost the 'feelings touch' of the past seasons and yet have some comedic moments. I totally liked it and want more, too bad that now I have to wait for the next episode. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| The pressure killed Daigo. He needs to practice more and more and more. Toshi's son is here! |
 |
| Major is back and it definitely started well with the first episode. It was a nice touch to play the original OP during the episode. |
| The feels though. Too much pressure for Daigo and Gorou just joined anime dad club, being forever absent. |
 |
| I really like this author's work when the emphasis is NOT on baseball match. This author is very good at creating drama and touching situations, so I really enjoy the daily life part much more . It's very nice to have a reboot so the highlight is pull away from matches. I like the fact the studio takes their time to make Diago's situation more sensitive by elaborating it in great detail so we would actually empathize him more. In manga, it only spends 2 pages to explain his situation, which makes him much more unlikable in many people's eyes. I can totally understand his situation though. |

| It was an okay first episode, though I wish they would've used the original OP as an insert song on something more impactful. |
 |
| Hopefully this anime will incite people to translate the rest of the manga's chapters :/ |
| I miss Major even if it is a sequel about Goro and Toshi's son. |
| I didn't expect to see Major2 at this point. I read few chapters of it after finishing the original series at some point and I didn't think it would get adapted because, this anime really strikes on the same feels that original Major did and rather than being pure sport series, it gives us much more towards the storyline and the characters rather than the matches themselves. Other than that with this still being called "MAJOR", MC is expected to do actually go play in Major at some point but for that to happen we would need even longer than it happened in original. That being said, this old style of sport anime sure is refreshing in the sea of yaoi anime... emm... correction I meant sport anime but we all know what sport anime are really about nowadays. |
| Really enjoyed this episode and liked the ED. Made me want to re-watch Major. |
 |
| I LOVE the original Major series. I thought this wouldn't be that good but I really like that Daigo isn't op like his dad (or Izumi) but rather he'll grow as the time goes |
 |
| They've definitely invested a fair bit into Major 2nd. Major sells fairly well so I am happy they did a great job of the animation and voice acting. Solid first episode here and looking forward to the future ep's. Fans of the first Major series will enjoy this one as well. |
| What a great first episode. When Opening 1 from the original Major starting playing during the airport scene, It genuinely made me tear up a little. How far we've come. Considering how successful Major 2nd manga is in Japan, It's fair to say we're in for quite a ride! |
| Great to see a lot of the characters from the original Major. Good start. Hope it has at least 25 episodes. |
| Diago isn't a prodigy like his father, destined to be great from the very outset, but I do like Major 2nd is more realistic to life than the original (a point of criticism Mitsuda-san got with his earlier work, not being realistic enough). That said, the first episode was much too fast paced covering several chapters of the manga with a bit of nostalgia mixed in. I almost shed a tear hearing Goro's voice and one of the original insert soundtracks. We got to see what drove Diago to like baseball as well as hate it. Hikaru is introduced with a bit of Izumi subplot. I hope they focus on her a bit as well. She clearly got Goro's talents. Depending on how far the direction goes, I don't expect this to last more than 12/13 episodes and 25/6 episodes would be pushing it considering there are less than 130 chapters or 13 volumes of the manga (the original manga had about 50 volumes of content before the anime started) - but might be possible with A LOT of flashbacks to Goro's own life as a young player. Nonetheless, a good starting episode and I hope they keep it entertaining without a lot of drag or drama. A bit disappointed knowing this anime came about way too early and shall be a one and done series. |

| i was worried that no one would simulcast this so i was superrrr happy when crunchy made the announcement ;o; it's nice to see 2nd gen goro and toshi on screen now jst waiting till the battery is formed! |
Nerd_Zone1 said: a better beginning than the manga for sure, really empathising his struggle, the manga didn't start the best its good that studio filled in some of the gaps and rearranged some events. The manga did show his struggling in later chapters though, not from the get go. What I dislike about the anime is they show the face of dad Goro way too early. Manga reserved him for much later. They could at least try to make his face shadowy for first episode instead of spoil it outright in OP/ beginning. |
| Lol that was hilarious, Daigo's fucking pathetic Kaoru used to be a hot af tomboy but now she metamorph into a moeblob who looks like a middle schooler lol |
| I have the same opinion, the minute that Goro appeared before to take the fly to Taiwan, was the most emotional!!! |
Loyalty06 said: It's not exactly fast-paced... To each their own. The title of the chapters don't represent the title in the manga. We've seen this case with the Cross Game anime. There are cross overs between the manga and anime. The scene in chapter two of the manga where he talks with his sister and the 'broken' game boy appears in this episode. Let's not assume it will be 26-episodes right away. That could happen over two seasons of 13-episodes. As of right now, I don't see it being a one shot 26 episode series. |

| I'm fucking crying... I'm so happy that we got to have Goro make multiple appearances in this episode. Everything is so. I'm so emotional. I love that this will get it's own TV series, hopefully a longrunner or at least as much as Daiya no Ace (100+ eps) Ranxomare said: I have the same opinion, the minute that Goro appeared before to take the fly to Taiwan, was the most emotional!!! RAISE YOUR HANDS IF YOU CRIED |
| I m exacting.. Omg I can't wait until next week.. This is sequel the legendary anime sport.. I give 10 for that |
| the pressure of expectations... fuck that man that shit is hard |
 |
| I'M SO EMOTIONAL. |
| Big fan of Major, wonder if this will live up to expectations just like Goro's son. |
 |
| Just finished binge watching the entire Major series for a few days and it's one of the best anime series I've ever seen. So, after that tiring binge, I finally started this show and I will say, while its not as great as the original show, this was a bloody good first episode. Poor Daigo for being opposite to his father for his athletic talents. I'm interested to see where this show goes and I'm really hoping it tries to not copy the original series a lot. |
