The title say it. I believe it. Major = Pure Awesomeness. For those of you that does not know what I’m talking about, I’m talking about major the anime. Major the baseball anime to be exact. Many get frightened by the “baseball” part (sorry all you loyal baseball fanatics, mainly from USA) but really, you don’t have to like baseball to like Major.
It’s about a year, year-and-a-half, since I first heard about Major, and I must say it never seizes to amaze me. It quickly ran up to my number 1 favourite anime, not of all time of course, that’s a pretty impossible choice to make I think, but favourite anime “which I am currently watching”. It might be my favourite of all time, if I really sit and think about it for about a month maybe Major would be number 1.
The anime is basically about a boy named Goro Honda whose father is a professional baseball player in Japan, and like most kids with “ok or better” parents, the kid really looks up to his father. So with that, Goro wants to become a pro baseball player when he grows up. Without putting to much spoiler out there lets just say each season is at a new state in life, so you pretty much get to watch him battle baseball head on his whole life. It isn’t just about baseball however, you get to see alot of intrigue with family, friends and rivals, sometimes they even overlap each other!
I love animes where the main character is the best at what he does and everyone (in the anime) are going “WOAH” with those nice expressions, however I also want struggles they need to overcome and some drama. All I can say is Major deliver on all those accounts, nothing gets better than following a main character through his whole life, watch him get better after he has trained through sweat, blood and tears and ultimately beating his opponents to a pulp of blood. However I’m not an anime reviewer though, not good enough to paint you a picture of how thrilling it really is, so I suggest you read Major season 1 review – by VivisQueen if you still haven’t decided whether or not to download/watch it.
If you want to check it out I suggest the, wait for it, AWESOME people over at Minor Ja Nai who provide me with the fix I need every second week. Download directly from their torrentsite here (download the MJN ones, otherwise you might get french subs). I suggest that you visit their site and leave them a well earned “thanks” when you’ve downloaded a episode OR 98. Stream watch major season 1 episode 1 here. Major currently consists of 4 seasons (104 episodes) and is ongoing.
Please leave a comment to tell me how awesome you think Major is!
