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. |

It's skipping time almost every ep, I'm assuming to get to particular events all in one cour. I'm thinking she comes back pretty soon in that case, with a decorated coach on her side it seems pretty laid out. Was a bit worried when she said that Izumi will be the rival now, but it seems to just be making way for Izumi to get in on the limelight since the it was more focused on the other two until now.

I put off watching this series in favor of other series. Coming back to watch episodes 5 and 6 did not raise any expectations of the series. I'll see it through but the story is not one I'm heavily invested on. French girl and I'd imagine all those in that race are of a higher level than the ones at the training lodging of girls we've been seeing.

Definitely not as good as Long Riders or Minami High School, but it was fine, there was enough decent moments in it.
Not something I would watch again though.

Bicycle racing with girls and their individual motivations, but they're friends too. I did like that it wasn't quite as cookie cutter as it could've been, almost dropped it but it focused on everyone in a cohesive way.
7/10
