Been meaning to watch this, I have a lot of catching up to do.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

I'm in the same boat. Guess I'll just have to take it one series at a time.

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Yo bit of an error in the writing of the article.

>The manga is a prequel of Major

>Major 2nd features Daigo, son of first work's main character Gorou.

The manga that features the main character of the original series son is a prequel of the original series.

m8 its a sequel

wasn't a fan of the pacing and repetitiveness of the first series. hopefully they make the second one more exciting and with more of a modern shounen feel.


Oh yeah, that was a huge problem during the second and third season

After watching Cross Game I tried to move on to Major but gave up very early. At this point all I remember is boredom and that it didn't click at all. Unless it's possible to watch new anime without knowledge of the original series I doubt I'll go back to this franchise.

oh cool, I cleaned and typesetted a couple chapters for this manga, but never really read it myself
I was thinking of picking up the prequel anime series whenever I was in a sports anime mood and didn't just want to rewatch haikyuu!!

I've only heard great things about Major and the announcement of a second season will motivate me in finally binging the series. From the looks of it, it looks really underrated and I'm always on lookout for sports shows like that so I'm excited and hope it will be a ride to enjoy!

Dunno how to feel about this. From what I've read in the manga, Daigo seems to be a bitch.
