Damn, that went quick, and for a first run, didn't do so well lol. Though I bet his car will improve as the races go on.

Ah, already seeing Wacky races levels in terms of traps lol. Though this seems more deadly for sure.

LMAO Kosame's way of getting out of that situation was priceless.

Once the party is over, the race starts formally, and kicking into high gear with all the tricks up each competitor's sleeves. And to be expected, the big guys, the Thousand Three, take centerstage. But it's only the start, so there's more to experiment.

While the race will wait for them all, planning won't make for haste of time. That's the focus of Gil and his henchmen to lay the traps whilst keeping within the rules of the race. Hototo has it bad, only acting out of revenge, and being a child, he doesn't have much power over the adults.

Richard may be another competitor, but his insider information proves critical to Kosame to rescue Hototo from Gil and his henchmen, albeit playing truant whilst keeping his lie.

The night race in the Death Valley, Appare has a better plan to outwit everyone else to make his vehicle known and work for him the best, rather than being played into Gil's trap. Waiting for the team proves to be a successful planning, and the race continues its waylay.

This race is continuing to be deadly...

Glad to see Appare starting to care for his friends! That short smile when they showed up was great!

I'm really enjoying this anime more every episode!

Well... the race did not get off to a great start for Appare & crew but I'm excited to see what the car is capable of now that it's been 'reborn'.

That scene where Isshiki took the rodent to stop himself getting shot was hilarious and it was even better when he actually took it along on the journey haha

I don't trust Richard for a bit, my prediction is that he's the one that kill Hototo's dad.

Dylan is so charming he could be the main protagonist, and his voice is just as sexy as his body!

Ai Lion might fall into the dark side, his sword spare with Kosame, and Kosame suddenly feel something from him.

And Kosame is still the 'final twist' of the story, he's hiding something (other than he's in love with Appare), his simplemind character is successfully fooling everyone.

Lol Kosame found a new Hototo.

I'm pretty sure Richard is the guy Hototo is looking for, he seems way too fishy to be a good guy.

The first part of the race didn't go that well for Appare but the second part has begun, let's see what his car which he claims has been reborn can do.

So glad that we get to finally see the race.

I liked that this episode was pretty Kosome centric, since Kosome has definitely grown to be one of my favorites in this show. The scene where he tried to cover up that he was looking for Hototo was pretty funny, and I'm glad that the little squirrel guy showed up again at the end of the episode.

Next episode is sure to be a blast!

Sofia the underappreciated waifu lol. Richard is already the sketch character lol, no way he did that swerve on "accident", probably in a similar situation to Dylan.


But nice to see the race underway and wow is Gil's team one dirty bastard lol. Though something tells me Gil is actually a nice guy behind the mask

The race is underway and as predicted, there will be a lot of foul play during this race. So far the team of Gil are the ones with the dirty tricks!

Hototo got himself in some messy situation, Kosame, who went looking for him played that so well with the new Hototo! Great acting!

There's something about Gil that seems different than his followers!

Did Kosame intentionally lose to Al , for a messy gold coin??? anywayz that gold coin did gave them a hearty dinner.

Whoa, Hototo getting caught spying on Gil's men got locked in a box and left somewhere on the road.....



and I thought that Gil's men would put him along with the Dynamites and be blown up like this.

It nice to see the race starting to get exciting and dangerous. It was nice seeing Appare appreciate his friends. It was so cute seeing him wait for them and smile when then came back.

The race has finally begun! Can't wait to see Appare's car getting reborn xD

Glad that Hototo is back, now they are aware of what those guys plan to do.

Appare-Ranman! delivers yet another fine episode! Hototo gets into trouble, putting Appare and Kosame in a difficult situation. I just love the conflict Appare faced when the second part of the race was gonna start. It gave his character a more fallible and mortal side. Was he willing to leave Hototo behind just to win the race? Fortunately, Hototo gets out of that mess safe and sound and Appare gets a chance to stay on the race. Also, Kosame gets a new pet! Nice! I just love how this show ups the ante with each passing episode and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Kosame's solution to getting out of the fiasco with Gil alive was hilarious lol

Yeah, Richard seems way too innocent and good to be true. I'm guessing he was the one who killed Hototo's dad and that he's actually Gil's henchman, or at least a former henchman.

I'm assuming this Gil guy to be a fake or something, something just ain't sittin right with all this. His friend is way to up front leading everything. Probably just using Gil's name to control his gang maybe... I could just be reading into it too much though, episode was good, now we got some foul play to spice things up further.

Man that episode went by so quickly, I am really liking this show shame that it is slept on.

Didn't expect Kosame to play along with the situation lmao, now we have New Hototo bois. Despite Appare being very self-centered he still cares a little bit about his comrades that is great.

Gil still seems pretty mysterious though and that Richard seems sketchy as fuck. Hyped for next episode let's go.

The first part of the race was fun. It was pretty cool to see how the racers dealt with crossing the railroad. Al decided to wait like a normal driver while Dylan and TJ jumped across right in front of the train.

Despite Appare's shortcut efforts, his lack of speed showed as they finished pretty far down the grid. Not only that, but they were sabotaged by Richard, in a move I see way too often while playing Forza online. XD

Richard's definitely a dodgy guy. Although he did apologise to Kosame for his "swerve", He immediately pinpointed Gil as the culprit who murdered Hototo's dad. I have a feeling that Richard might be the culprit himself, so we'll have to wait a bit longer to see if I'm right or not.

Kosame's attempt to rescue Hototo was amusing. He thought Hototo was in a box and upon opening it, a rodent appeared. Kosame used this to his advantage by calling it Hototo so he wouldn't get shot by Gil's gang. XD

Thankfully, Hototo broke out of the box he was in and reunited with Kosame and Appare, now with the knowledge of what Gil's group are planning.

Overall, this episode was really good fun and, as expected, foul play will be a very common theme for each race for now. Looking forward to the next episode. =3

I have the same suspicion since he doesn't strike me as the murderous type. Their new "friend" Richard looks more suspicious to be honest. A little too nice.

Yay another exciting episode, although I expected team Appare to show a bit more speed this first round.
Excited to see how fast the car is going to be now it's finally finished.
Appare's calculation to gain the most optimal route to pass the train was amazing xD

Also, yay for the new team member! O/
But more team members means more weight means slower speed...

How will they make up for all the weight?

I was surprised how quickly they ended up getting to the next checkpoint. Tho given Death Valley is their next location they are probably only a few hours out of LA and I guess they would skip most of the driving, but I kinda expected most of this ep to be driving. Only a 13 ep series tho so I guess we are gonna have to kinda zoom across the states pretty fast.

I've the suspicion Gill is actually Hototo's dad and the Richard guy might turn out to be a bad guy instead, but besides that Hototo sure changed a lot after Kosame rescued him there from the box. A lot smaller and less wild than I remember him to be.

I don't know why but I have a bad feeling about Richard... like he's pretending to be nice... but I don't know what he's up to.

I really want to see Appare's car shine in the next episode!
