    Synopsis:

    Following a period of personal growth, Daigo Shigeno now captains the baseball team at Fuurin Private Academy Middle School. Alongside Mutsuko Sakura, a familiar face from his past, he strives to guide the team toward success. However, unforeseen events drastically reduce the roster to just six core players – Daigo, Mutsuko, Yayoi, Tao, Seira, and Hiromu. This small, predominantly female team faces numerous hurdles: integrating new, inexperienced recruits like Akira, Anita, and Chisato; navigating a lack of coaching; and fostering trust amidst limited numbers. The narrative explores the team's efforts to overcome these obstacles as they prepare for their inaugural tournament, highlighting themes of leadership, camaraderie, and the challenges of building unity under pressure. The series portrays a grounded approach to sports, emphasizing character development within a realistic high school setting.

      Major is one of my favorite anime franchises of all time, let alone my favorite sports anime franchise by quite some distance. It’s characterization, intense matches and long-running storytelling present in many seasons with consistency always captivated me in so many ways. With its successor, Major 2nd having a very impressive first season (especially for being the sequel to a long-running success story already and not disappointing like a Boruto compared to Naruto), I was quite excited for this new season of Major to drop back in April. Here are some of my thoughts on the 8th overall season of the Major franchise and the2nd season of Major 2nd by Takuya Mitsuda!nnMajor 2nd season 2 takes place a couple of years after the first season where Daigo Shigeno is now in Junior High, where he turns out to be the captain of the Fuurin baseball team. A team that is mostly full of girls (which also has his crime partner, Mutsuko Sakura from the Dolphins days) since a lot of the fellow guys on the team got kicked out due to a shoplifting incident, leaving Daigo alone with one guy (later two), to join the girls to form a baseball team with the thinnest roster imaginable. Hell, there isn’t even a proper coach in this team so, despite Fuurin’s previous reputation of being a competitive team, the lack of personnel automatically put Daigo in a tricky situation.nnCompared to the second season of the original Major where it had Goro conquering so many physical obstacles like returning from a potentially career-ending shoulder injury and switching to being a southpaw pitcher, to joining rival school Kaido along with Toshiya and go through multiple trials to get a taste of the immense competition awaiting his baseball future, this season feels a lot more tamer than that but presents its own challenges that Daigo and Fuurin have to go through. This occasion, mainly as a team that is all over the place – some players have talent but no real desire to get down and succeed through it all, some players have a lack of talent completely, some players have talent but are too rough and inexperienced to conquer against competition that is much highly skilled and have much more depth too than all of them, the fact that most of the team are comprised of females which a lot of teams tend to look down on, etc. This is a season that surrounds itself through teamwork as a whole, and working together to grow as a cohesive unit and try to pose a challenge to opposing teams despite the handicaps and hardships that they have had to endure as a team altogether. They may not have a coach or a proper bench (hell, some starters are barely classified as rookies despite some others playing baseball in the past in Little League), but through Daigo’s development as a leader, they still fight on; even with an obvious glass ceiling that hangs above them given…

      After months of delayed episodes due to Covid issues, Major 2nd S2 finally came to an end and it has been a fun ride. It’s wrong to compare this series to the original Major; even though in this season there are some similarities to Major S3 the vibes I got from watching Major 2nd S2 are completely different. Story 7: The plot is pretty simple, Daigo ends up being the captain of Fuurin's baseball team, the team doesn't have a coach so Daigo has to lead the team and struggle with his teammates. The journey begins from here, the team has just enough members toparticipate in tournaments and official matches and is mainly a girl’s baseball team, they find troubles along the road and there's a little twist to spice things up in the final episodes.nnCharacters 9: the characters are the selling point of the show, the anime focuses on every team member, each one of them gets some kind of development both in baseball and in the relationships with their teammates. Daigo is not the center of the attention every time, he is the main character but feels more like a part of a team that works together than the leader that can overcome everything by himself. In fact he is often supported by the vice-captain Mutsuko and other teammates and he relies on them. The team synergy is just that good. nnVisuals and sound 9: the anime is colorful and fits really well the mood of a team playing with 6 girls on the field, the new character design feels pleasant for this same reason as well. Some scenes (the batting and the pitching ones) are repeated but overall the animations are clean. nThe voice acting is also on point and features renowned seiyuus such as Kana Hanazawa, Sakura Ayane and Uesaka Sumire. nOpenings and endings are great, both openings are among my favourites in 2020, you should try to see and listen to them.nnEnjoyment 9: this show is definitely a spokon but outside of the matches and training sessions it has a sweet Slice-of-Life feel to it and I loved that. Every episode had a nice pacing and flew away. It was terrible having to wait for months to watch new episodes but the wait was worth it and the series turned out pretty well. nnAll in all Major 2nd S2 deserves an 8 in my book, I really hope this gets a 3rd season.

      Saw a lot of comments complain about this show while I was watching it, saying it wasn't good because the main character is not like his dad. Well, I really liked that aspect in the first and second seasons of this anime. He isn't his dad and if he was like his dad, then it's basically the same anime all over again right? Something I especially liked about the second season was the focus on playing in a girls' team. I guess because I'm a girl myself, I found that I could relate and empathize with the characters more. Anyway, good anime. Give it atry if you like sports anime in general :)
