| So ends the journey of Major Season 3. Here I was going to give the show a rest and move onto something else.. but the last several episodes were so damn good that I now cannot wait to watch season 4! Was going to give the series a 7/10, but the show REALLY turned itself around, so 8/10. |
| Good season. I like how Goro meets alot of other baseball players. And in the end all of them will meet again. Cause of the movie I already had to know that Goro will leave to America. Im sure he will learn some new plays. And after coming back to Japan Goro will finish every opponent he meets! Kinda sad... another Goodbye of Goro. That happens quiet often. But where ever Goro goes, he always meets people which will start to like Goro. Major knows how to set up a great world with alot of sympathetic characters. Wondering if Goro will meet his guys of the baseball team Seishuu again. That Goodbye was sad. Shigeno, Momoko and Shimizu really love Honda. I hope they will meet again. I love the very last minutes of every season. Playing the opening theme again and showing some old pictures. Good vibes! Goro is changing every season bit by bit. Im sure he will be back from America as a new man! In America hes going to learn alot of stuff. And Im sure it will be though. Season 4! |

| My only regret is having regrets! |
| This season was weaker than the first two. I would have liked seeing Gorou getting back to the basics, bonding with his new teammates and getting stronger together, instead of him being selfish and careless with his injury while still saving the day like he's Captain Tsubasa. That's not what I expect from Major. Plus Gorou got lucky in basically every game, he won because of his opponents pride, they wanted to face him instead of bunting or walking him to ensure their victory. At least he lost against Kaido, that makes sense, that's what I wanted but it was still frustrating to see him lose after such a long -too long- game. It feels like this whole season was for nothing, Gorou didn't achieve his dream and he didn't even learn a new pitch. This season also lacked interesting characters. We didn't see much of the usual ones (Komori, Satou, Kaoru...) and the new ones didn't really shine besides maybe Tashiro and Taiga, who's still a pain in the ass most of the time. Even the opponents were forgettable and Egashira is just too damn evil, he acts like a supervillain, it's ridiculous. |
| And as before, the theme of the season is wasted. The whole point throughout the season was his sacrifice, his choice of sacrificing his professional future for something he valued in the present. (Which I think is a relatively silly message and a little irresponsible to glorify it, but that is another issue) And look at how cheap that sacrifice was. Look at how meaningless the hard choice to prioritize his match with Kaido was. There is no consequence, the show ends and his life is almost unaffected by his sacrifice. That was no sacrifice at all, it was a plot device used to justify his power level fluctuations and a mechanism to milk cheap emotions with no actual real payoff when all is said and done. At one point if he throws more than 30 pitches he will stop having a career and by the end (even though the doctor said his foot was not getting any better) he is throwing for 12/13 innings against the best team in the country and it does not affect his professional future. Poor season, weaker than the previous two. God, also, what was that cringe with Egashira, did he have a stroke and turn into a drooling Dr. Evil? It stood out like a sore thumb in an anime that generally grounds itself in mild, realistic characters. This season having 8.35 on MAL is an absolute joke. |
| I simply do not get the praise this show gets. Flat characters give me no interest in their struggles. Gorou is the usual arrogant ass who I simply can't support. This show might as well be Red Team vs. Blue Team for all the interest I had as no one had enough development besides Gorou (kinda) who is so self absorbed to be unlikable. This wasn't as terrible as the previous season as Gorou wasn't quite as irritating but hardly anything of praise. Show even keeps that Shimizu girl around for who I assume is a long term love interest but of course is completely ignored by both Gorou and the writers. 5/10 from me. Guess I continue to rate shows high... |

| This season was really disappointing. I hated how there was no real consequence for Goro constantly freezing his foot. He shouldnt be able to play professionally anymore. He went over 30 pitches all the time. If they were planning on making Goro play all 9 innings (at best 81 pitches) they shouldnt have made the injury sound so bad. Cause it just feels so unrealistic. And Every game I constantly questioned the adults in this show especially the dumb english teacher. Japanese spirit can only carry you so far. Why did they keep letting him play when clearly he was pushing himself too far. He should be a cripple the way he was playing. I was even questioning if I liked Goro as a main character anymore. He's way too reckless and headstrong for my liking. And people were constantly saying to Goro youre taking baseball too lightly. But the entire show takes it too lightly. How does some random teenagers with roughly 6 months of training take on kaidou's main team; who are not only the cream of the crop but theyve been training for years. I feel like Toshi should have become the deuteragonist at some point. Really disappointing. I hope theres no more injury shenanigans in the later seasons. At least to this degree. |
| the recap at the start was very excepted, i'm glad they fast-forward it. and i was afraid of the only shimizu moment will be in the beginning, they didn't disappointed me and put another in the end. i'm happy the made goro going america, i think it would be very plain if he would stay in japan for the pro league, after all that's what about the name of the series... now about the season, i found it much more enjoyable and better than the 2nd, but the 1st still holds a warm place in my heart, i wonder if there'll be season to be like that again. |
| Not a big fan of this season, felt way too unrealistic (even as an anime) especially with Goro carrying the subpar team constantly despite his leg injury. In previous season at least he had some capable teammates to defeat the strong teams. However I do appreciate Goro's team isn't suddenly above-average but still realistically rookies and also the neat to see tactics and teamplays during the matches were cool. |
 |
| Season 3 finished, then. Well, this was worse than 1 and 2 seasons. The final six episodes were pretty good, and I liked this final episode pretty much. But... most of the show was to turn back agaaaain to useless teammates and lessons, and pretty convenient things that I couldn't ignore, so... Anyway, I'm hyped about the next season. I have the feeling that the best is yet to come. |
