Rinkai!
The Rinkai! project unveiling at mixi_anime's AnimeJapan booth announced on Saturday that an anime adaptation and a manga series has been green-lit. The project follows the competitive world of women's bicycle racing
The story centers on women's cycling which debuted in Japan shortly after World War II, but organized competitions folded after just 15 years and laid dormant for several decades. Then the Rinkai League launched to revive the sport. Teaser PV: Source https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...-manga/.196383

Episode 1 thoughts:
Not impressed. So many characters. There's 5 girls who all share the "dream" of becoming pro cyclists, and they're all a bit too late age wise. Then there's the 3 pros from the actual race who make it their mission to promote the sport. Honestly, I would have liked it if the story focused on the pros and their mission to popularize the sport. The cycling CGI looked terrible but everything else looked ok. I suppose honest and inspirational discussions happen at onsens, at least in anime onsens. Will follow for a few episodes but will likely drop. |
