About Major S4

Here is what Major S4 (メジャー（第4シリーズ)) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy, drama and sports anime by SynergySP (2008). The setup: Having finished high school, Gorou Honda sets his sights on becoming a professional baseball player. His dreams are much more ambitious than becoming a Japanese Baseball League player, so he instead resolves to move to the birthplace of his beloved sport, America, in order to play in the Major League.

Also worth knowing: However, Gorou finds that the Major League players are much faster, stronger, and more driven than he is. Nonetheless, he is eager to catch up with them. In order to do so, Gorou must first conquer the ranks of the Minor League, where numerous skilled players compete in the grueling rise to the Majors.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Shoutarou Morikubo as Gorou Honda and Masakazu Morita as Toshiya Satou. It will appeal most to viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 26 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
