So first and foremost......HOLY SHIT finally we are getting an Major 2nd adaption. I was itching to find out what was going to happen especially after the scanlation group dropped the manga.

So now that we got that out of the way, what are your expectations for this anime?

It probably won't be as big as Major but it's been selling pretty well in Japan and it's at the 10th volume right now. I really hope it will be something like major having 2 cour seasons every few years.

I'm also wondering if they are going to use the same voice actors for all the characters from Major itself and which people are going to voice the new ones for Major 2nd.

All in all i'm really excited for this and I hope other people are to. Major definetly deserves a lot of attention.

I'm fucking ready. I hope it has decent animation, and more than 12 episodes. Though I've stayed away from the manga due to spoilers so I have no idea how much material there is.

Anywho, Major GREATNESS is back.

There are about 113 chapters out right now and 27 chapters translated in english. I have no idea what happends after those 27 chapters so I can't wait to see the anime.

Hoping for something like major that had 2 cour seasons every few years, which helped the animation in the later seasons for sure.

Hope it will get treated well by a good studio. Hopefully Production I.G. seeing how they are the kings of sport anime basically.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK. I don't even care how or what it's going to be like. More Major can never be a bad thing. Just give me some good Shimizu/Kaoru moments.

I am so excited!!! While I have other animes that I think are better than Major, Major has had an impact on me that nothing else has! I'm SO excited for this. I'm worried about a bad adaptation of course, hopefully they choose the right studio and the right director! This is the most exciting announcement for me this year!

Eh, I'm very hesitant. The best stories are the ones that know when to end. It always hurts when the greats bite off more than they can chew and make my final memories that of resentment. Not that this is guaranteed to disappoint, just that I'll have to see whether it's right to continue beyond Goro's legacy or not.

I have the same apprehension for this. I really enjoyed Goro's story and it's completion.


Idk how I feel about Goro's son being a catcher. There was some really cool catchers but I think I'd prefer if he was a pitcher. Anyways hoping this is as good as earlier seasons and I'm excited regardless.

I'm excited <3 I read the available scanlations, and being a fan of Toshi I truly enjoy his cameo abundance, even more so than Goro as an absentee parent. I want to know who Toshi married and why they divorced and of course the uncle interaction between Daigo and Toshi <3 Hikaru is my favorite character in 2nd but I'm excited to see the battery and plays.

I really love this series and I want more of this anime adaptation.

But I'am afraid that I can't give a high expectation for the continuity of this series since It's revolve around Goro's Kid (Daigo). actually I would get more interested if, instead continue it just as how it is on manga, they do the story about how goro show his dream to their kids and how he teach his kids to keep on dreaming to his kids just as how they do it on their last movie "major:message".

what do you think ?

I just hope that they won't screw the adaptation and make it bad.

Gorou's story was conclusive and complete, no reason to open that again and potentially screw it up. I mean he had 6 seasons, a movie and 2 ova's covering everything there is basically.

Let's see, I love Major, and I did not even know that I had a manga and this anime adaptation, I just learned because I was notified, I never read the manga, but because I'm Major (with another clear protagonist), I have expectations.

He changed to being a batter like his dad. But that doesn't matter anyways since his son is the main character in this one. I'm sure we'll see him come up here and there as a supporting character.

That's a tv commercial for Major 2nd which aired a while back. They are probably rerunning it now because the anime was announced. I always wanted a Major 2nd adaption especially after seeing that commercial a while ago.

@Salva252 I don't have high or low expectations - I just hope they focus less on female characters and more on Goro's and Toshiya's sons.

Imma take a wild guess and say Goro dies... They say like father like son after all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, feel bad for the poor kid, he doesn't even know of the curse of his family...

You should probably watch it, seeing as how it will portray the story of the previous MC son. Moreover there will be characters from the original appearing in this one to. It might not be a huge deal, but I think you will enjoy it more if you seen the original.
