| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- An interesting exhibition of CG animation if nothing else. |
| Bradley Wiggins in anime form. Well I never ... |
| Hell Yes! I was rooting for the girl to win the whole time. (^^) Well, guess they're already a cute couple by now. :3 |
 |
| It really reminded me of Yowamushi Pedal xD The faces and particulary the eyes looked good, even if everything was in CGI. I still prefer the first one, this one felt more common. Looking forward for the next episodes ~ |
| it should be more i check someone called Richard Mitchelson who appear in credit title look like he also animator http://www.richmitch.co.uk/about/ too bad he only design the keychain |
 |
| I can't watch cycling events like the Tour De France on TV, but this was cute. Interesting use of CG. I wouldn't mind watching something like a 12-episodes version of this. I hope the creators of these episodes get the attention they deserve. Japan Animator's Exhibition banzai. |

| I liked this one. |
| It was so nice ^^ Those 7 minutes passed so fast. Again gorgeous art. |
 |
| wow this is 3DCG blended so well with 2D style, its cel shading done right, impressive |
j0x said: Right? It knew it was CG, but I was questioning myself at times because it captured the 2D style so well.wow this is 3DCG blended so well with 2D style, its cel shading done right, impressive These shorts are super entertaining. Anyone know how many there's going to be? EDIT: Nvm, apparently 30? |
Trippwire01 said: EDIT: Nvm, apparently 30? where did you get that info from? i like to know but from MAL synopsis which are planned from original projects, spin-off projects, promotional films, Music PV, and VJ Films etc im excited that some of this will be anime original i hope they are TV series |
| CG done right. |

| The CG was strange. I didn't hate it like I usually do when I see humans CG'd. It was pretty neat. Though since I've seen Yowapeda, my first thought was, "You gonna bike up the hill in that bike? You ain't Onoda!" Bam, a few minutes later,transforms and has a proper bike (temporarily). |
| again amaze. seems kinda strange how these characters can be brought to life so earnestly in a short space of time. dope. |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| The next ace climber!!!! She has her own theme song to power her up. Onoda will be proud of her. He asked her on a date. Good job. I ship these two : ) |
| lovely ending :) |
 |
| YowaPedal is the best cycling anime out there, but this was quite nice for that limited run time. |
 |
| Story: Typical sports anime setting with the protagonist having a rival she wants to beat. Characters: Likable main characters, though not enough time to really get to know them,. Art & Animation: Art was alright, something about it put me off can't say what. Animation was really nice, looked a bit like 3D on some parts in the end when he asked her out. Sound: Good but not oustanding. Enjoyment: I'm not into sports anime so I probably wouldn't watch this if it was to be made into a full TV series, but the setting is actually pretty nicely done. |
| I would watch the shit out of this, especially if it was like Initial D but with bikes. Episode Two: http://animatorexpo.com/hillclimbgirl/ |
| Not really good or bad. Decent intensity on a bicycle-race-to-school. |
  |
| Nice the animation is cool. But I prefer the story of the first, it seems to be more interesting. |
| I ended up really liking this short. I love cycling so I was already interested. At first I didn't know it was CG, very interesting way of using CG. The ending was cute, they would make a great couple. xD |
 |
| Really neat little short, CG was surprisingly pretty great too. A few shorts I've watched execute that style well. Hillclimb girl reminded me somewhat of Ryuko ^~^ |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| I think the girl is really cute lol. |
| Needs more Chris Froome. |
| 'Once an Arsenal man, always an Arsenal man.' - Bob Wilson. |
| Well ain't that cute The CGI here is amazing They captured the essence of 2D |
| That was CG? Oh damn, didn't even tell. Liked this one a lot. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this short because there was a clear plot and it was face paced. |
j0x said: wow this is 3DCG blended so well with 2D style, its cel shading done right, impressive Agreed! I didn't even notice it was CG right away. It was a really fun episode. The ending was so cute ^^ |
| Nice short, and I don't even care it was CG mostly. Nice transformation sequence. You can do anything if you work hard enough towards your goal was the theme of this I guess. Same seiyuu as in dragon story. I wonder, are Megumi Hayashibara and Koichi Yamadera voicing all of those movies? |
| Gotta love the expression of the girl in the last scene |
 |
| Even though I'm not a too huge fan of semi/full cgi, this sure was a nice piece of work! |
 |
| For some reason this made me really happy ... :D I liked how the girl looked and the CG wasnt even half bad, in fact it was kinda fitting :) |
 |
| Probably most fitting cg in anime. |
 |
| dat CGI though But seriously, it was done quite well actually. Kinda reminds me of the CGI movement of the newer Fire Emblem games, but obviously less flash and more emphasis on dynamic and detailed movement. I really wish the talent here could have helped out on other CGI titles such as Kantai Collection or C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. They could have really used the help. Azuma Tani headed this one, who directed titles such as Thermae Romae, the original Nyaruko-san OVA (before the TV series), and shorts like Double-J and High Score. The voices are of the Japanese Spike and Faye from Bebop fame, so that was something. The short itself was simple enough, but I'm marveled at how it exalted bicycling like no tomorrow. That magical girl-esque transformation scene was almost fan service for bicycling enthusiasts. |
| A very predictable cyclist ONA, also the protagonist is a woman, again. G.2 -- Una Ona ciclista muy previsible, además el protagonista, es una mujer, otra vez. M:2 |
| The ending was funny, the guy was in love with her,lol. |
 |
| I certainly wasn't expecting an advertisement for Team Sky; ugh... Still, quite a coincidence seeing what is happening these days. |
| "Even now, I travel on my journey, Believing in the world, Aiming for something far away – an endless journey. Having a dream like someone else’s, Or being in someone else’s dream – Which would you prefer?" |
| I never knew that that Wiggins guy and the teams are actually based on their real-life counterparts until I read it here :o Even after watching a couple full-cg shows, the graphics here was still a little surprising. That Tour de France Biker transformation was out of nowhere xD I have to admit that the music pumped me up~ They'll be a very cute couple indeed! That ehhh?! was one of the cutest flustered moments I've seen so far. |
 |
| cute story. I liked the bike animation, but the faces were a little weird. |
 |
| Really cute and more entertaining than I expected. ;) Hehe that bicycle date. |
 |
| The CG was kinda strange but I admit it did a quite good job at blending with the 2D drawings. The short was cute and I loved the girl's character design! |
| no signature because im too lazy to make one |
| She's cute. A riding duel. She beat him. lol at that ending. It was okay. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Wow, this CG was really superb :o The faces all looked great, and I'm sure having 3D models made all the bike pedaling easier to animate! 5/5 |
 |
| CG reminded me of Knights of Sidonia. This was a cute one. |
| Such nice animation. I really liked this short. |
