SK∞

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.

AAAAAAAAA I LOVE THEM ALL HUHU!

What captivates me the most in this anime is the characters! I love how their story presented one by one in the anime. I love how the characters interact with each other with their sports.

What is more amazing is that it's not just a simple skating, but it has some effects to allure and be more exciting to watch!

About the characters, they are diverse and colorful and has some unique personalities! Especially the two main characters bwahaha (the calm and energetic one!)

The art style is more like street, punk, and casual vibe plus the music and overall energy gives ... the dynamic and visually engaging experience.

I know they will be saying that Reki and Langa have too many awkward interactions but that's what I like the most!

Overall, I would definitely recommend this anime, if you want to explore some skating and cool characters! The OST are also good! Fight me hehe.

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 ... love Tadashi but I'm still so mad at him for not taking the opportunity to get Adam thrown in jail (where hopefully another inmate would take him out) and instead continues to follow the man who calls him a dog and treats him like trash?? Like GET UP TADASHI PLEASE YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS 😭 it's even worse because his name is literally Tadashi?? So why are you not doing the Tadashi thing?

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 ... a personal preference, but as a Christian, I was not fond of the Adam and Eve comparisons in the later episodes. Even objectively, the Adam and Eve metaphors were pointless, didn't make much sense and failed to add extra substance to the characters and the overarching story.

If you were like me and wanted to watch this anime because you are into skateboarding, you should save your time and not watch it. If you wish to watch it for the story and don't care about how realistic the skateboarding is, it would probably be more bearable... but you should also save your time and find something with a more intriguing plot.
