Loved this one, surprisingly. When Belldandy gets pissed off at Toshiyuki and hell-bent on winning the race. You'd never imagine her acting like that. It's great to see another dimension of her character, if only for a little bit.

I wouldn't doubt that this ends up happening seeing as they definitely aren't going anywhere in their current aspirations. The thing is neither of them really wants a 'relationship' they are players and just want to be able to claim the top position.

5/5

While hating Kei, for the continuation of his way to make the story interesting and brings topics to me something engaging, while not explaining them well.
Belldandy is credible, while Kei no when he blurts out! ^ ^ "
The episode I thought he went into a cow as the time precedence, in which Kei does nothing and only thanks to Belldandy and Urd that the situation is saved, however, there was a greater participation of the collective and a small part of Keiichi.
For me the best part was when illustrating the peculiarities of the car with three wheels when driving and settle the question of the race passing on the retaining wall of the dune. Even when Belldandy shows another side of his character, the narrative them was pleasant the rest was a bit dull and predictable.

BULLSHIT! Kei's voice sucks and he's wimpy and annoying. Belldandy is an idiot for accepting that obviously trap challenge. Aoshima is so freaking pathetic for someone who has a lot pf pride. I wish he learns his lesson this time because if this show will continue with his underhanded tricks to get Belldandy.. it will be too painful to watch..even though it already is. At least Urd remains as likable as ever.

I was kinda bored here.
I have a feeling that there's more fluff and distractions to come.

Toshiyuki's next attempt at breaking up Kei and Bell is using his money to fund a up start motor club and goad the auto club into a race where the loser must disband. Toshiyuki uses underhanded tactics as usual, like destroying the auto clubs racer but Keiichi mans up and refuses to back down!

First time we actually see Belldandy get angry and she shows her determination in winning! Bells kinda scary when the right buttons are pushed! Belldandy ends up expending so much of her power to keep the racer from falling apart that it knocks her out. Keiichi is left on his own to finish the race and exploits a design quirk of the racer to take advantage where 4 wheelers cannot and the auto club win! Urd punishes Toshiyuki for his behaviour, again and Sayoko who didn't do anything this time, takes some lumps along with him!

Good episode! 4 stars out of 5!

Nice adaptation of the manga story, would've liked Urd and Belldandy dressed in Auto Club racing gear like the original manga panels, instead of Tamiya & Otaki's horrific cheerleader getups and clown-face makeup.

It's thanks to Belldandy that Keiichi has developed a lot. Also pretty cute when she's so determined.

Dem cheerleader outfits, tho.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Yeah in response to the Auto Repair guys wearing the Cheerleader Girl outfits? No. Just no, OK? Just no. (Shudders)
Anyways damn I didn’t think a pure hearted being like Belldandy would ever get mad at anybody let alone Toshiyuki of all people is defiantly a sign that you have seriously crossed this goddess in particular and for the very club that Keiichi is a part of too. She was so determined to win the race or die trying there. It’s out of left field for her to feel like this but at the same time it IS very rare for her to feel like this. I guess Toshiyuki was a special case for her I presume. 
It was a decent episode I must say if not to see some character development on Belldandy and Keiichi’s part. Otherwise not much to say about this episode besides that.

I do like the comedy but some of the characters don't make sense. How does winning a race get's you Belldandy?

Pretty good episode - although I'm into the whole cars/rallying thing. Couldn't we all use a Belldandy to help us with our automotive maintenance?? (although they'd have needed it to get a three-wheeled fiberglass vehicle to hold a rear-drive V6 without tipping over on the first corner... serious Richard Hammond level hijinks there)
Much hilarity from the auto guys in drag (someone give me some bleach for my eyes!!) and Engrishy swearing. Belldandy is determined, Keichi grows some much-needed backbone and Urd bails everyone out time and again... Toshiyki & Sayoko are complete dicks as ever, honestly I want Keichi just to give Toshiyuki a good right hook on the jaw sometimes rather than have Urd zap them all the time
I do like how there's actually a reasonable degree of research into how rallycross works, not totally realistic by any means but much more than I would have expected from a supernatural romantic comedy (especially the anti-erosion concrete bulkheads in dunes, which honestly I don't think I've ever seen mentioned in any other work of fiction)... though they would have had a MUCH easier time of it if they'd gone for two wheels at the front and one at the back, much more stable in turns and you could probably reuse a FWD drivetrain

I’m surprised that no one noticed a random guy was dressed up as a Nazi in one of the scenes.

That's some strange pom pom girls for Keiichi's club ahahaha, I like the race idea actually, especially that they made it totally crazy with all the sand etc, they actually won thanks to his vehicle being a 3 wheels one this is unexpected, good originality in this episode
