 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Goro became a father, how endearing. |
 |
| Watched it raw before, and it was great. Seeing it subbed just upped the enjoyment :) The part where Goro reached the hospital to see his baby got me misty-eyed... and a giggle at the last second. Also glad to see that Toshi's abandonment issues getting resolved. Overall, the OVAs were great, though I wish it lasted a bit longer than 2 episodes. The issue regarding his head injury felt kind of short-lived, not complaining much though. And now Major truly is over :( It's wishful thinking, but I hope this gets licensed in NA. |

It would be doubtful at this point-- but you can support the franchise by importing the DVDs/BDs. |

| AMAZING, MAJOR WILL BE ON OF MY TOP SPORTS ANIME, man so sad i will really miss this show. The ending song is so amazinggg |

Goro finally won ONE big championship in his whole basebal career. |
| FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Fucking Toshi and my love/hate relationship with him finally ends with me loving him and his amazing family. Mamiko Noto as a sister and a mom and connects with him in the very end. Amazing, just amazing. I don't understand how this anime always makes me tear up. Congratulations Honda, you've always been a world champion to me. |

| What a powerful conclusion. And with some nice closure for Toshi as well <3 To think, this is the end of Major. It was a rough journey with quite a few annoyances along the way, but overall I still had a lot of fun and believe it was totally worth the watch. I'll surely miss this series. |
 |
| Well, stepping the obvious, but I enjoyed Goro's playing after all. Got me on the edge of my seat too, even though I knew what's gonna happen... well, that's how a sports anime should be. Glad to see that Toshi's long last family issues finally got concluded :D Seriously I had my fingers crossed during the ending song that we could see something about Goro's child and YES! That's why I love subplot romance ^_^ |
 |
| fucking goro man.... would husband /10 no homo |
 |
| Damn an amazing ending, cant believe Major is done now. Going to miss it a lot and I cried a little in this ep, then again Major has always been good for a crying session XD |
| I love Major. I am super sad to see it done, but perfect ending! I laugh at the end when Goro found out that The baby wasn't a boy. MAJOR FOREVER! |
  |
| I would have loved to see how Toshi and Mayamura came over and how Keene got traded...not to mention what became of Komori, but this was a great ending. Took eight years of fighting but he reached the top. And now the circle continues with a....daughter. |
 |
| Would have been a good ending if they haven't skipped a lot of stuff between the tv series and the ova oh well. |
| Wish we could have more Major, but alas, that's it. I'll be sure to hunt for the manga now. Great OVA. IDK if this deserves an 8 or 9, but definitely almost made me cry when they threw in some Toshi x Goro memories. My favourite battery :) I liked seeing everyone again and the match was pretty intense even though it was obvious who would win. |
| Wow, what a series it was. Such a long time since I marathoned anything. Anyway, overall a top series, with only one of the 6 main seasons being weak-ish. I think Goro could've developed more, but in the end he was another amazing character in an anime full of awesome characters (Toshi, Mayumura, Gibson, Junior, Honda, Komori [yes] etc etc etc) haha. I wanted as well to see more of Mayumura, probably my favourite one in the show. One way or another, I had a lot of fun watching the full series. |
 |
| They always gotta make it harder for Goro by having him have an injury..LOL. Wow Sato and his mom, glad they got that settled. |

| Goro became a world champion pitcher and a father in one night. That's the best double play of the series. It was great to get closure on Toshiya's past and I could feel tears moving up when he saw his mother again. That game was awesome, they managed to bring so much emotion and many awesome plays to the table in 2 short episodes. My only gripe is that it was only 2 short episodes. Major has been an extremely long and satisfying experience, with only Message left for me. 9th inning/10, to compliment season 6. |
 |
| Rewatching this awesome anime 4th times and it still keep me pump up....definitely one of the best sport anime and i wish they could have done a world series anime not OVA or there is translating for that part for the manga. Goro is such and amazing character and i have always cheer for GoroxShimizu |
| Well that was something i was hoping too see for most of the series both Prominent characters from the Japan Arcs (Toshi, Mayamura) and the Many Characters From the America Arcs (Keene, Joe Gibson Jr) Going head to head in one last Game. Spectacular just all around amazing i'm really glad i decided to pick up this series early. although i'm watching it timeline wise so i still have Major message To go. Although i Really wanna know what the name of the song was called at the ending it was absolutely amazing. If anyone knows it i would very appreciative if you could message me the name of it and the Band! :D xD Goro Wanted a boy it appears, still Cheers to the Couple of Kaoru x Goro! |
| Argue? Nah Too lazy For That... Are You Ready!~Gulcasa |
| Baller ending to a baller show about a baller baller. Nuff' said. |
 |
| Goro deserved the win, he did great ! 9/10 for this ending ova series. |
 |
| Finally he gets a real win! Hell yeah! And what a way to win it, on the same day his child is born, and coming back like that. God I loved the ending! Seeing this all play out . . . I really liked this OVA, what a great series overall. ^_^ |
 |
| At last we get to see him win and become a father. :) That forced drama was not necessary, but executed well. And I'm so glad we could see the awesome battery again. =) |
| Seeing Goro's winning face was glorious! he finally won the big one! Best baseball anime ever! |
  |
| Perfect ending. When did the 104 mph fastball happen, there's been a 103 mph fastball, I thought this last pitch would be the one? |
 |
| the timeskip killed any hype i had left for this series. dull match. |
| I would enjoy this much more if it did not feel like there was some huge parts missing. Time skips are seldom done well in anime (or many other medium if you want to nitpick) but this time skip was probably one of the worst handled ones I've seen so far. We get tons of stuff without any good explanation. All in all Major went down hill (Not by miles or anything like that) from season 2. I wish it could have been done better but in the end i am happy with i got. I would give the series 7/10 all-in-all. |
 |
| That's the ending that this great series deserved. I really would like to see those 8 years that were leading to it. Even if not all 8 years could be put into the story, at least two more, no at least that one last season that lead to the world series should be there! There is no use to complain about that but just say thank that at least those two episodes exist |
| Great match, I just wish Goro came in to pitch earlier. Too many times he's burdened w/ injuries in matches, I wanted a full healthy game from him. Ah well. |
| "come again?!" ahahahaha them toshi tears though. |
 |
| Great! They won the World Series, too bad we didn't see how they made it to the finals in the first place. Toshi forgave his mother, that was nice. |
 |
| What a great ova indeed. Toshi's problem resolved elegantly. Goro win the World Series and become a father. Such a happy ending of the best sport anime that I've ever watched. Major has all element that make it always entertaining and interesting. Many great characters, great developments, tear jerking moment, and happiness at the end. (Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basket can't be compared to Major). A solid 9/10 for this Series. |
 |
| Just finished this show, this is what separates a good show from a masterpiece. 10/10 ending, could not have asked for anything better and it is one I will not forget for a long time. Never would have thought I could've watched 100+ episodes of a baseball anime. Sure there were frustrating moments and Goro was extremely annoying at times, but it was wonderful seeing him grow from a little kid to a father. Can't wait for the sequel with his son, Daigo. |
| Wow that was beautiful. |
 |
| Great ending with many emotional moments and also hype af. 8,5/10 |

My favourite battery :) I liked seeing everyone again and the match was pretty intense even though it was obvious who would win. Done my rewatch!!! Golden battery was so amazing. Loved that both Goro and Toshi got a chance to shine. The best moment was Toshi raising a fist in the sky after seeing his mother. So incredible. Finally, my son Goro won a championship. hE deserves it so much. I'm so happy. I hope the Major 2nd Anime gets intense as this. I would cry. I hope there is another sports anime nearly as epic. Same score as before, 8/10. |
| All I can say was this was rushed af. |
| Finally watched this after completing Season 6 two years ago! Life sometimes just gets in the way :). Thankfully some of the flashbacks and just seeing the characters themselves helped trigger my long term memory.. anyway.. awesome ending! I'm glad to see the majority of people on here loving it, too. I was expecting some dramatic come back from the Raiders when the Hornets hit the grand slam, but Goro just shutting that shit down in dominate fashion was the perfect ending considering all the crap he has gone through. Yeah, super rushed but who cares! Major is the best! |
| i dare to say that this is the final episode of the episode, unlike the last TV episode that wrap up only goro&shimizu plus couple of things this episode wrap important things such as toshi and his mother, and goro not only duelled against junior for the championship but also for his lost at the world cup. so yeah, this is the real final episode. last minute = LOL 9.9/10 |
| Shed a tear seeing Goro who we've followed since he was a 5-year old now becoming a dad. I wish we got some more episodes on the world series but still great ova with Toshi getting some closure and also Goro finally winning and even more: becoming a World Champion |
 |
| I really, REALLY wish we had gotten another world cup arc, it prob would've been my favorite sports anime of all time if that had happened, it's still a masterpiece, you literally see a human being developed from kindergarten to being a father, it's amazing. Also, I really liked how the romance was dealt in this work, that "Klank!' poem from Shimizu from the first Season is top 5 scenes of all anime. |

 In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit? Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase. Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality. |
| While the OVAs were on the cheap side, at least ShoPro was able to scrape together the funding to adapt the end of the World Series arc for the manga fans. Maybe I should pick up the manga sometime. Also Goro’s mom was finally mentioned again after being forgotten about for so long lol. |
