It’s like the best parts of Oh Edo Rocket, Sakura Wars, and Abenobashi, backed up by the most amazing animation in the season and led by a transplant from Bamboo Blade.

A year or two ago, I remembered a buzz arising from the announcement of a full-length movie of Major, the baseball anime. The movie was about the period of time Goro spent in Fukuoka’s Little League, after he left the Mifune Dolphins and prior to his transfer back to Kanagawa....

This time around, I’m going to do that and add a bit more information...

I’m not to keen on the One Fine Day manhwa cover, it looks nice true, but something is lacking from it. The Sumomomo cover is a bit better, but only cause it’s got my fave megami on it The Manhwa SideStarting off with the manhwa side again....

It wasn’t just a fan service episode with the meido costumes; it actually was one...

There are exceptions, like Bamboo Blade, but generally speaking it’s a genre I don’t bother with. However, after a comment by JayyG mentioning character development in Cross Game, I figured...
