Major: Episode 28

How can one not lurv Saint Komori? I swear, I thought he’d give the audiences a Good Will Hunting moment and start hugging Yamane while repeating “I’m sorry” bazillion times. But the hugging does not materialize for it might spawn inappropriate thoughts from fangirls ready to pounce for any type of ’shipping. Still, Saint Komori proceeds with his oh-so-moving speech which touches the heart of the surprisingly emotional and weepy Yamane. *sniff, sniff* Oh, Yamane, I had no idea that you’re such a softie at heart. I guess this is not the best time to inform you that your unkempt hairstyle is not exactly the height of fashion.

While Yamane distresses over his past, Goro throws in a little misdirection which only the most gullible will ever buy. The stoic face, the soccer practice, and the not-so-secret training are all key ingredients to the oh-so-dramatic unveiling of the uber-left pitch. Heck, as much as I lurv that last scene, the biggest head-scratcher for the episode slightly miffed this audience member. What’s with his angst-ing over his not playing baseball anymore when it’s effing clear that he already has figured out solution ages ago? Someone call a Script Doctor on board. Such lazy piece of writing… *grumble* I’m disappointed.

I still have immense faith with Major. Any series should have their small bumps in the road, right? Not to be mistaken, to a certain extent I enjoyed the episode. While I could easily dismiss the littlest of inconsistencies, the obvious wtf-ness is jarring enough for me. Oh, well. The next episode should be fun… I hope.
