Ok I liked the second episode a fair bit more than the first one. Maybe it has something to do with the "main" duo being basically not a part of the plot and most stuff focused on that Ojousama driver and her passanger.

Also: that announcer girl continues to steal the show. Her switching between deadpan and overhype at the literal flip of a switch is just too much. I haven't seen a character like that since Kogami Akira from Lucky Star. I think I'll have to continue watching this just for her.

But, to be fair, the more laid back approach to presenting the other teams we got on this second episode felt a lot better than last weeks. It looks conflicts between the pairs are not isolated to the two main characters which should make things interesting.

Not a bad show so far. Also not a must watch. Hopefully I can find the time to keep following it but I won't go out of my way to do so if time tightens.

She's what I'm in for.

Well it's good there's a focus on the other girls and not only the main one that right now I really starting to dislike them.

He's the STIG!

Unfortunately in the context of a show full of girls, he seems more like the MC of a dating sim; a bland self-insert character.

Seems like a light fanservice/yuribaiting show with too many character introductions in first EP.

I just realized the black team is basically a more realistic Sailor Uranus and Neptune

Tiberium Wolf · 2017-10-22, 10:35

So what happened to the helmets? It's sending the wrong message going at high speeds without helmets.

THIS!

Going out without their protective gear is just another bad example being set in this show. Just the idea would horrify biker friends.

Hush and enjoy the yuri frienship.

Tiberium Wolf · 2017-10-23, 01:52

That aside I went to google to look for Miyakejima and the 3rd site in the search is this.

Liddo-kun · 2017-10-23, 07:56

Watched episode 3:

I guess the director / storywriter wanted the night race terrifying to look at... no one is wearing a helmet!! They could die at any moment.

Anyway, some nice character development...

Looking forward to episode 4.

after watchingh through ep 4, I must say this show is less a typical sports drama, and more a shoujo relationship drama disguised as a racing anime

Agreed. Not worth my time anymore. The racing aspect/scenes are minimal at best, even though it's well animated. Even the recent girls cycling animes were more interesting than this.

Anh_Minh · 2017-10-29, 10:09

Watching this and Ballroom is maybe a bit too much pairing drama for me.

xizro345 · 2017-10-31, 01:13

I think people are getting the wrong impression: it's not a racing anime, it's basically Ange Vierge with a different cast an premise (considering the writer and the director are the same, this should come as no surprise).
In fact, it's following the flow of the story with two-episodes dedicated to most teams (with the exception of one, which are acting like the comedy relief) and of course, onsen scenes. The only difference is that this anime is a little more grounded in reality, with (for now) less absurd situations.

So the twins mini arc is over by the looks of it this week.

I have mixed feelings about both girls as they seem way too similar. Not to mention, they put each other and everyone else involved at risk when one of them decided to take their car on the ride at night.

Besides that, I did feel like the arc had a good deal of psychology involved that felt different compared to the other episodes.

Anh_Minh · 2017-11-19, 13:03

I can't help but wonder about the logistics of getting one away from the other, asking both out, and doing so by coincidence, without even realizing.

Tiberium Wolf · 2017-12-02, 13:04

Ep 09

We have a face!!!!!

Dop · 2017-12-02, 20:20

Well, wasn't expecting the sole male to turn up at this point. I'd expected him to snuff it Manx-wise.

Magewolf · 2017-12-02, 22:10

No, I could never live without you. If you die I want to die at the same time. Or if I can not die I want to get enough money from your life insurance so that I could dull the pain.

grecefar · 2017-12-05, 20:39

I'm calling it, the coach is with one of champions and this will end the love triangle.

Neve expect to see his face.
