Shigeno Goro grew up with his father Shigeharu Honda living a life of dependence, Honda Shigeharu is a professional baseball player, his dedication and enthusiasm for baseball deeply affected the young Goro, so that Goro has a strong vision for such a sport, helpless at that time baseball belongs to a niche sport, Goro hard to find the same like to play baseball Sato Shouya, the two formed a deep friendship.
In an accident, Shigeharu Honda was injured and killed in the field, and the kind kindergarten teacher Momoko Hoshino adopted Goro. At the age of nine, Goro finally joined the Mifune Dolphin Boys Baseball Team with his own efforts, where he met daisuke Komori, Kaoru Shimizu, and Ryota Sawamura.
Someone on Douban commented on "Major League Baseball" - "too much blood is dog blood". I started clicking on the first episode of the first season with curiosity, and I have to say that it is indeed a bit of dog blood. I remember that at the beginning of the investigation, an anime website classified the film as "romance", which has made me have a certain mental expectation of the degree of dog blood.
At that time, Honda Goro, the future 56, and later GOLO SHIGENO, was still a five-year-old boy who went to kindergarten, and the little dream in his heart was to become a baseball player like his father, and little Honda had begun to show his hot-blooded essence and talent in baseball, and he could bully his later stepmother Momoko in school, and he could surprise the Three Boats coach Ando in the outside world with the heart to cultivate him, and he could generously hook up with the watermelon head and four eyes in the neighborhood. And the big HONDA, Goro's father Shigeharu Honda is a handsome professional baseball player who can go to a romance drama, in order to support his son's baseball sky outside, he refuses to retire due to injury, follows the advice of his good friend Hideki Shigeno from pitcher to thug in the blue ocean team as a second-line player, cares about his son internally and when he is a father and a mother, he can drip water gently, and in order for his son to quickly hook up with Momoko's teacher to get a hug and get a hug, he will see his parents immediately.
However, the misfortune fell from heaven (it can also be said that Italia Manda was deliberately arranged by this small stepmother God), and the big Honda was hit in the head by Amerika's vicious and sharp eyes and the pitch of JOE GIPSON, who had long ponytail long hair that did not match the hot-blooded juvenile manga, was hit in the head and left a lump in the head. Peach, who has not yet married the big HONDA, adopts the little HONDA and becomes the mother of the male protagonist. The murderer JOE GIPSON, facing the five-year-old boy's cry of "paying back my father", only left a "sorry boy" without expression.
At this point in the plot, I have to sigh at the classic iron law, if you want to become a male protagonist, do you have to be a lone star? Harry Potter was a few months old when his father and mother killed the big demon Voldemort, and Kogoro's dead mother in the first episode and the dead father in the sixth episode made Miss Chiaki appear as a symbol representing the birth mother (even after seeing the sixth season, who remembers what the name of 56's mother is), and the father Honda Shigeharu died to give his son a baseball-loving back to give his son a motivation to continue his baseball dreams. I have to say that Lord Manda, you are really making the most of it. This is not nothing, it should have been just a passer-by Shigeno Hideki (who remembers who Shigeno Hideki was?). It is the uncle who suggested that honda change to a thug and was divorced by his wife, who loved luxury cars, fell in love with Sensei Peach, so he took in the girlfriend of his friend Honda and his son together, formed a happy big family, and played a very important role in the life after 56. whereas
The gibson uncle who killed the male protagonist's father, should have been just a revenge object on the road of 56 baseball, in exchange for other juvenile comics will definitely be defeated after the male protagonist grows up and become a second-rate supporting role that flatters the male protagonist's powerful ability, in this drama, he actually persisted until the sixth season, not only was not killed by the male protagonist, but also developed a great feeling with the male protagonist that is different from the family friendship and love base (get a chance to hug the male protagonist), becoming an immortal beacon on the male protagonist's baseball road. Put the wife and son regardless of it, hard to play in Jia Fat for three years by their own despised Japanese baseball, obviously their own son also appeared after the game abnormal but vicious words, to 56 but specially sent a doctor to explain the guidance, I have to say that uncle your heart is really biased to the navel eye!
After watching six seasons, I have to say that the production level of this drama is still very high, and the 78-volume comic is fully expressed. In terms of integrity and tight plot, it is much stronger than SD. Although there is no OST down to this drama, several OP and ED of this drama are still very good. My favorite is the OP "Heart Painting" in the first and sixth seasons, and the other songs are not impressive. Therefore, it is slightly inferior to SD in terms of soundtrack.
On the line of the competition, the clue of the whole work is the little stick (won, the right hand is wasted) - the county competition (lost) - The begonia inside (wins, goes) - Defeats the begonia to go to Koshien (lost, fell) - The minor league (wins, rises) - The World Championships (loses, gets sick) - The major leagues (loses first and wins after eight years, scraps the left hand)
The main highlight of the first season is the match between The Elementary School's Shigeno Goro and the trifune team of Komori, Kaoru Shimizu, and Sawamura, and yokohama, the strongest team of the junior sticks; These include Goro saving Beanie-eyed Komori from the "bully" Sawamura, teaching his future wife Kaoru Shimizu to play baseball, turning the bully Sawamura into a member of the Trifunade and winning the contact field from Sawamura's father, reuniting with his first friend Sato Shou, and developing a hazy liking for Amerika Kelp Ryoko and ending his liking for Ryoko because Ryoko admired Gibson that his father was stupid.
The main attraction of the second season is that Shigeno, who has only scrapped his right hand, returned from Fukuoka to junior high school in just one season, and once again teamed up with Komori, Sawamura and others to team up against tomayuki Sato Shouya's Toonoura team, with the goal of being spotted by scouts from Naomi Tsumari High School. The death scout uncle sent Begonia's master Memeimura Ken to defeat the conceited Goro, ending the three-boat team's dream of winning the county competition. The twists and turns are that Wu Lang, the second goods, originally did not want to be specially recruited to begonias, and he also could not hurt Shou. It was hard to live and already wanted to open it and couldn't go, so the second goods pulled Komori Shou and said let's go to the Begonia entrance test together. After a hard time going, Komori was eliminated, and Shouya and Ershou went to Yumeshima island to train to become the reserve of the Begonia Second Army. Later, the Dream Island team dueled with the Second Army, defeated the Second Army, and became the Second Army. Nigo has come up with new puzzles, defeat the first army, and defeat Begonia's stylized baseball concept!
Immediately before the third season, the second army of Shigeno and Shouya defeated the first army of Begonia, but willfully withdrew from Begonia, and boasted that Haikou wanted to defeat Suya's Begonia and go to Koshien. Although the death of Begonia Supervisor Etou forced no school to accept, but the original women's college of Shengxiu High School Shigeno did not give up, on the roof of the school building bald to build a baseball team training ground, but also pulled their own retired father Shigeno Hideyoshi and Yokohama Shogun aliens as coaches, forced the number of boys is pitifully small Shengxiu High School Hachi otaku trained into a baseball team that can play. However, the reality is cruel, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and although the baseball concept of the famous school Begonia cannot cultivate "monsters", it also defeats the saint show led by "monsters", among which the praise is the unconventional pig head teammate Jiangtou Supervision.
In the fourth season, Goro, who lost to Begonia, first told Ki-yu that he was going to join the Blue Ocean team where his biological father and adoptive father had played to become a professional baseball player, and then got on his back foot on a plane to Amerika. Sure enough, he was immediately deceived by someone at the airport to pay his respects. Of course, the protagonist halo he immediately met a good friend who drove a sports car, and successfully entered the sub-league of the Salmon Team to play, with the back number 56. There was nothing more to watch than to meet Gibson II in a minor league, where he was fired by the Salmon for a fight.
The good-looking 56 took the introduction letter and entered the Bat Team of the Hornets' minor league. The highlight is that the Bats all work together to win the minor league regional championship by defeating one of II's teams. The favorite plot is that there are two dead bets: one is that Bats newcomer Keane says to 56 that if the three strikes are successful, you will love what you love, and if you are beaten by your boy, you will have to listen to me! So domineering, did not live up to the interpretation of Uncle Tomoyuki Morikawa's muffled voice line! Another bet was that Gibson II made a bet with 56, and if 56 won, II personally went to Japan to apologize to Honda I, and if II won, 56 rolled rough Amerika.
In the fifth season, the 56-liter major league was full of difficulties, but it was learned that Jia Fat would elect a representative to participate in the World Championships, even if it was a sparring partner. However, after a showdown with a truly world-class player, 56 knew that his strength was still shallow, and he quit the team. However, 56 eventually became a Jia Fat representative team member, and teamed up with his good friend Shouya, who has become a professional baseball player, to the world stage. One of the biggest episodes is that Kaoru Shimizu, who has become a green plum bamboo horse in all seasons, has successfully turned into the girlfriend of 56.
In the sixth season, I always thought that Jia Fat would win in the fifth season, who knew that Mantian Dashen was still modest, after all, the reality was there. 56, who has always had a pair of bright eyes in the first five seasons, has never fully opened those big eyes since this episode, and 56, who is tormented by YIPS and blood obstruction, has a melancholy and confusion that does not match his age and personality. Uncle Gibson, whom he had always targeted, retired after a heart attack after the World Championships, and his best goal was hit by II on home run.
The 56 who rose to the major leagues was only 19 years old at this time. At this time, the Hornets had no main backbone, insufficient pitching strength, lack of reserve personnel, disharmonious garrison, and the introduction of a "plague god", plus the management boss who died, and the poor coach who was threatened every day. Even with a humanoid database like Keane and a "monster" like 56, the Hornets were still under the attack of the Salmon Team. This year Gibson II's commandos won the major league. 56 and Watts, who also did not play due to injury, vowed to use his own hands to send the Hornets to the championship no matter how many years.
The OVA concretizes the ending of the sixth season. Eight years later, the Hornets made their first major league championship final. Kaoru Shimizu was about to give birth with a big belly, while 56 was hit in the head by a ball hit by Gibson II in the previous game, and could only sit on the bench and watch the game. And the plastic surgery of the two sides on the field is also lamentable. The Raiders in blue and white robes include Uncle Gibson, the four-stick Gibson II, who transferred to Amelieka's Mei Village as an FA (the stuffy boy who was nervous to listen to music in the toilet is now a two-child father, and he is also married to his high school coach, Otome Shizuka!), a catcher who was also in the Hornets last year (super fond of the same sullen poisonous tongue man Hai led the way!). Why abandon 56! Sure enough, do you still have to duel with the man you identify!).
Dressed in white and green robes Hornets, the blonde Roy is still there, Uncle Sanders is still there, Watts has changed careers as a coach, Murdoch is still there, 56 Needless to say, you read it right, the catcher is no one else, it is 56's first green plum takema good friend Sato Shouya! (Is the original match the best!) There are many people who don't like Shouya and think that Shou is also a small white face, not the protagonist but enjoys the treatment that the protagonist does not have. But people are official with good! Personally, I think it's very good, 56 is the first person to pull Shouya into baseball, the road of no return, and Shou is also the first person to be guided by the light and heat of 56, by the first two people to draw the most perfect ending What's not good!)
There was an episode when I saw the end of the sixth season. While I myself would love to see more stories about 56 and his best friends fighting for baseball, the end of season six is arguably a HAPPY ENDING. In retrospect, I searched the Internet for more information about "Major League Baseball", but in Tieba I learned about the OVA "Another Final Return", where the ending was 56 finally abandoned, fired by the team, and forced to return to Japan as an outfielder. My heart was cold. It's like SD's last Kaede Kaede went to the United States to play but accidentally died in a car accident, or Sakuragi Hanamichi finally couldn't play basketball for a lifetime because of a back injury and became a lewd uncle! That night, I lost sleep, turned over and couldn't sleep, and my mind was full of the plot of "Major League Baseball". I've never lost sleep for a single fictional character! The next day at work, I secretly downloaded the OVA and manga at the company. It turns out that the ending in the original manga is like this - 56 is indeed abandoned, fired by the team, and forced to return to Japan as an outfielder! But that's not how the plot unfolds.
Later, 56 and Kaoru had two children, and her daughter Mizumi was already in elementary school, but found that her father was not as hard working as other people's fathers, but hung out at home or went out to play every day, and was very angry about it. Until one day, he was taken to the stadium by his mother to watch a baseball game that he did not understand the rules at all, only to find that his father Shigeno Goro was playing on the field. It turned out that over the years, 56 did not give up his love of baseball, actively recovered after surgery, and decided to be a pitcher like his father, Shigeharu Honda, just to give his children a proud back! Tanabata, the family's wish: Goro - dream is to play the fourth stick in the major league; Mom - the family will always be healthy and healthy; Daigo – I want to be a professional baseball player; Izumi – I want to hit a home run like Dad!
"Major League Baseball" has a lot of blood-boiling moments, but the most touching thing is that ordinary people who have embarked on the road to baseball because of 56 are like reincarnation to convey their love for baseball. One place that moved me to tears was that komori, who was on the college baseball team, promised Itan that Henten would coach the bears of the Three Boats Dolphins over the weekend, but was exposed by his teammates as just picking up the ball on the team. However, encouraged by 56's active performance in Amerika, Komori practiced hard until both hands were injured, and finally gained the approval of the team's coaches and teammates, and scored in the official game, thus winning the trust of the Three Boat Dolphins Bear children.
Finally came to the end, many people think that the ending of "Major League Baseball" is not good, but a closer look will find that the whole work echoes from beginning to end, and makes a very perfect explanation for the persistence of dreams, the burning of enthusiasm, and the transmission of baseball spirit.
Does a sports anime have to be a champion to be perfect? At the end of "The Prince of Tennis", almost without suspense, everyone can make the big reunion conclusion that Qingxue will win the championship, and all we want to know is how. "Slam Dunk Master" makes a good note on the regrettable ending - Xiangbei defeats the former champion Mountain King, but the scarred Xiangbei ends the championship dream in the next battle.
Even if the author did not draw "Ten Days Later" on the blackboard of an abandoned classroom, our subconscious still believes that the teenagers in SD will continue their basketball dreams. Because we can't bear to see the simple Sakuragi being tormented again and again, nor can we bear to see Kaede Ryukawa in a foreign country like Guze. In reality, such things are very common. Compared with Xu Feigang's new chapter, Inoue Yuhiko stopped writing here and refused to continue the work. It's very clever to let the good moment stay here.
And "Major League Baseball" shows another kind of regret, and this regret is very realistic. The hot-blooded 56 is not the vortex sect leader's kind of superman with an infinite number of nine-tailed chakras in his body, the mortal body is burdened by powerful spiritual forces, burned out early, and even Uncle Gibson's record of pitching to his forties is not equal, and he returns to Japan. But this regret does not make people sad. The last 56 of the last still insisted on playing baseball, to play all the positions of baseball, what is the injury, the hand is broken and can not shoot, but there are still feet can still run, you can also be a hitter and a wild player. Who says 56 won't stand in the big league again? That's 56! (Unfortunately, the dead old man in Manda did not intend to continue the work.) )
I like anime, especially hot-blooded shonen manga, and I especially like sports-type anime. I am very envious of the protagonists who know what their dreams are early on, and then run all the way to their dreams to die, while mortals such as me do not even know what they want, and they are not even qualified to talk about dreams. (Then find a dream, but can't find it!) Is there a step in the comic to tell me how to find my dreams? Dream talk.
