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.

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.

I was kind of intrigued about a CGDCCycling anime but its velodrome cycling and yeah the CGI is egregiously bad. I'm not sure how far I can make it.

The character design is so good, they even show Machiko muscle but it feel very silly
Will be better only 15 minutes anime and go directly to the races

Geez, did they really need to make half of her body CG and half drawn when she was pedaling? That was actually kinda freaky

Alchemist007 · 2024-04-22, 02:21

Picked up on account of not much else on Tuesdays. The character designs aren't too bad. It's actually better when they're not showing the biking if it's going to be this level of CG.

Spoiler for ep6:

Alchemist007 · Yesterday, 01:10

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.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for first impressions: The CG is horrible, but at least it isn't full CG and I couldn't care less about the sport, so it looking ugly itself isn't a big problem After a great anime like Do It Yourself, I'm not too negatively biased over original cute-girls-do-stuff as much, but DIY was focused on entertaining the audience, while this one has another agenda of advertising the sport... and that prefecture thing that I don't care to search more information about, so I'm not too sure. It's some project this anime belongs to However, there aren't that much anime today, so as a braindead watch, I guess it is okay? __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.

magnumcyclonex Cyclone Magnum Join Date: Apr 2004	Episode 2 thoughts Spoiler: Definitely a better episode than the first. I really liked the realistic talk given by the older sister. Dreams and goals don't have to be flashy. There are ways to accomplish things that benefit society, one's livelihood and what she did in college and post college will help her family's business in the future. That was a nice touch that is rarely seen in anime. So grandma and uncle were both former pro cyclists, and grandma has a secret monitor room, yet I found it funny she used a little phone to converse with the pro cyclists and not one of her million monitors! They introduced a 6th girl in the mix, while I still don't really know the other 4 from episode 1. Hopefully I can keep track of all of them.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep6: I think the episode could have worked, but they skipped too much of the process for me to be emotionally involved. She became obsessed, hurt her body, still tried, and failed. Literally that. We hardly are shown any of the process of this, and it just plays out as a fact. And that's it. __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P. Hiroshi Yamauchi, Gaming wouldn't have been the same without you (9/19/13)
