Synopsis

High school student Reki Kyan is passionate about one thing: skateboarding. When night falls, he heads to "S," an illegal underground race inside a mine where skaters compete in highly dangerous situations. After a loss that results in his skateboard being destroyed and his arm being broken, Reki is now incapable of practicing at all.

While working, Reki runs into his new classmate, Langa Hasegawa, a half-Canadian and half-Japanese boy with no skateboarding experience whatsoever. Langa is in desperate need of money. After they both visit "S" when tasked by Reki's boss, they get into trouble and are forced into a bet that requires Langa to skate in a race. However, the mysterious transfer student holds a trump card that Reki is unaware of, one which might help him win the race in the most unexpected way.

This anime was absolutely incredible! I was so captivated by the story and characters that I even managed to finish watching the entire series in just one single day because it was truly LIT!! The excitement kept me glued to the screen from start to finish.

Unique Story: The premise of underground skating as a competitive sport is quite unique, mixing adrenaline with character-driven narratives. While some plot elements may feel familiar, the execution and the vibrant world the characters inhabit keep it refreshing.

Predictability and Enjoyment: Even if some aspects might be predictable, the infectious energy of the skating culture and the relationships among characters make ...

Mixed Feelings
I'll be so real: All 5 of the docked points are purely because the character of Adam exists. Words cannot encompass how deep my hatred for that ugly, goofy eyebrows, lipless, yeti built monster runs. Honestly, he doesn't even have to do anything for me to hate him, I just see his face and am instantly fuelled by the rage to go adult Gon on him. I genuinely cannot count the amount of times I was hoping this show would suddenly take the dark crime show thriller route and throw in a random serial killer to just pop in and take him out :'( I ...

The skating isn't realistic at all. It feels like the studio didn't research skateboarding and the culture and created a story about what they thought skateboarders were like. The plot was lacklustre. The anime did nothing terrible, but it did nothing great either. The only decent things were the art and animation.

Nothing was interesting about the characters. The MC is the generic, overly energetic protagonist. The deuteragonist is the stereotypical emotionless and "cooler" character and probably the most interesting character in the show, which says a lot about the rest. And the villain is basically just Hisoka from Walmart. Also, this one's more of ...
