Major 2nd 2nd Season · review
Spoiler warning
This review may discuss plot details.
The second Season of Major 2nd is a solid show but the production issues due to COVID are clearly visible. This would not be a huge issue as it is how it is, but the show is lacking in the narrative. In the last years the sport manga and anime clearly had taken a huge step up in narrative exposition. Not the matches are the main focus but the training. Haikyuu shows that more than anyone else. Ace of Diamond to stay in the baseball category another good example that a good sport anime needs the training to bring the character to live. This sadlyis not happening in Major. Most of the season is the actual matches and *spoiler alert* the drop out of the tournament is therefore really a killer in the narrative.
This narrative is really jumpy and one time the matches drag out, then suddenly it jumps forward. This is really confusing.
Especially sad as with the girls and boys mixed this anime is really something fresh from your Adrenalin kicking male and "lets be friends" girl stereotype show. It mixes welll and when they for once put the focus on that this show is really brilliant.
The last episode really pushed the show higher as I would rated it at episode 19 so I have high hopes for the future.
