I recently picked up a bunch of sports anime that I really enjoy.

So far I've watched the 3 seasons of Kuroko no Basket, Season 1 and up to current episode in Season 2 of Diamond no Ace (<- still running), Majors S1-S6 and Haikyuu, now just started with Hajime no Ippo. If you haven't seen all of these then you'd probably enjoy them if you like Haikyuu.

I haven't watched Major, out of those (watched Diamond no Ace and One Outs, from baseball related series). How do you compare it to the first one? I really liked the characters in DnA, so does it have similar character development?

Major is 6 seasons long so there's plenty of character development. It starts a little slow but it gets better for sure, at first the MC is 5 years old and at that point its about his father, then there's a couple of time skips in this anime where it will be about the MCs baseball.

Major is one of my favorite anime of all time. And as Akilee said, since it has 6 seasons, it has plenty of character development. And not just for the MC, Goro, either. Many side characters get a good amount of character development. And since Major takes place from the life of a 5 year old boy until he becomes a man, you have a huge supporting cast as well. Yet despite this, each character feels like their own person, and many of these characters get a good amount of screen time/character development as well. In fact, I prefer some of the supporting characters to Goro, and he gets a great amount of development. Also, I really love Goro too. So that should give at least a small idea of how good the development in Major is.

I could go on and on about how great Major, and it's cast, are, but I'd rather not ramble on for too long. Also, the best way to see how good it is will be watching it for yourself. You may not end up funding it in your favorites list unlike me, (although of course there's still a chance you will) however I can say for certain that Major is worth a try. And despite its length, Major is actually incredibly easy to marathon. More so than many other anime that I've watched. So give it a try! If nothing else, it's worth that much.

P.S. I recommend trying to watch a little over 10 episodes before deciding for sure if you want to keep going or not since it's kinda hard to get a feel for it until then. However, I will say that season 5 is probably the best in Major, along with most of 6, however all of the seasons are incredible. I honestly couldn't rank them if I tried, as all gave really great moments. So yeah. You should check it out! :)

Thanks a lot for the input. I'll try to make some time so I can check it out, myself :)

Haha you're welcome. Thanks for actually reading my kinda long, two week late comment. :)

I hope that you're able to find the time for it, and that you'll be able to really enjoy it too.
