Well not bad, Hiromi learns slightly faster than I had expected when it comes to cycling.

I feel this episode/show is pretty relaxing so far, there's not much competition (yet?) when it comes to the sport. We got more characters introduced as well. Hiromi's friends are so nice~

So all the characters are introduced, well most of them at least since it's hinted that the blond might join them as well.
Anyway so was i have to say that some of the girls seem nice but i also have my doubts.
The anime is ok so far however.

LMAO how all of this came together at the end was cool.

First episode was definitely stronger, but this was good, too.

Well we meet 2 more of our lead girls this week: Fuyune the ojou-sama, and Natsumi the tomboy...with tits! Seriously, I thought she was a boy until I saw them. She looks like the little brother from Sgt. Frog with tits. XD Speaking of little siblings I called the girl being Tomo's little sis, but the old lady being her granny surprised me. Finally, beautiful backgrounds yet again. :)

Nice episode.

Cycling was pretty nice to watch but I'm gonna have to say Long Riders did the cycling portions better.
2 of the other main girls introduced this episode, liking them so far.

Funny how Hiromi got lost and how all of the potential club members ended up meeting at the same spot. It was also pretty funny how Hiromi met Tomo's sister and granny. xD

In this second episode appear the rest of characters, principal characters of this series, Or so it seems to me.... The episode was moderate, although a little boring.... although the more highlight, is the girl that was dressed in the blue bicycle-suit, natsumi, she is a girl, but her voice is from a man!! xD Yes, yes ,yes the seijuu is a girl xD

The only competition I can think of is Long Riders, and I think this is a bit better, it looks better.

The one downside is that I will hear all the information about cycling all again cause I have justed watched Long riders last season xD

Good episode. Hey rich girl, if you want to see rare birds, head up to that shrine in the woods. At a parking lot near the beach you'll most likely see gulls, house sparrows, and crows! Maybe hold some bread in the air and take a photo of a dive-bombing kite?

Smallest apples I've ever seen ....

Looks like this show made all the right deals with the manufacturers: all the names are being correctly displayed, even background things like FamilyMart aren't obfuscated in any way. Love it (and, of course, I'm going to look up any local sites they name. Google Maps is my friend).

So, they've added an ultra-rich girl (and her ancient servant). Starting to sound like Bakuon! a bit. But then, they also added a secondary character (one of the boys in the pastry shop) named "Alpaca"? Is this a shot at the bike shop salesgirl, "Paca-san", from LR? Hmmm.

Overall: not bad, a little more story here, filling out the cast. I'll re-watch this ep' to get more detail, and I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

Cheers, all!

There is some nice animation in the opening sequence and the OP and ED are good enough. That's about the only thing good enough here. The rest is pretty meh. Not sure about the next episode though. I should cut down on animes I'm watching each day otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the older shows I'm watching.

I liked this episode a lot more than the 1st episode. It kept my attention the whole time.

I feel like almost all the designs have an older feel to them like pre-2006 look which is actually a plus for me as I like those types of designs.

Also this episode convincing. The narrative does not present anything new in the first part, but manages to be convincing enough in the second phase, where narrative requirements, the so-called condensation stage of knowledge. Great design and fantastic backgrounds, cute characters once again. The CG is not a bad quality. Also I have noticed some very close similarities to Long Riders, but at the same time, I'm enjoying the most of this anime series, though.

LOL end-card.

Sure got a lot of new characters this episode, and quite a few of them are pretty inexperienced unlike in the other bike related anime I've seen, a nice change of pace in my opinion. Another good episode.

That was a pretty fun episode. Hiromi getting lost but at the same time exploring the area.
Woah, she's a female??
I totally thought Natsumi, didn't even notice her chest. No wonder she was a bit shy when Fuyune questioned her bike attire. Speaking of Fuyune, interesting character, seems like she's a fast learner.

Ending segments are pretty good.

Character Animation: although too early to tell, it's definitely better than Long Riders
Bike Animation: I think Long Rider spent a disproportionate amount of their budget on the 3D animation of the Bicycles, and it shows lol... definitely not as good as Long Rider.

I am enjoying both show, and just before this started, after watching Long Rider i actually took up Cycling as a hobby and got my first road bike :D

And Long Rider's opening is definitely much much better than Minami imo ;x

The cycling animation made up for LR's animation failures elsewhere in the show. Well, almost, anyway. ;-)

Congratulations! As Neil Young once sang: Long May You Run.

Better ep. retarded mc lost by a squirrel at least was funny & short.
Pacing faster now, most friends joined. Rin lookalike seem interesting, imouto artist good va, the rest don't have strong personalities yet. Confusing boy-girl.
Seen all recent bike shows, & this seem more on Kamakura tourism with the beautiful scenery, uber noob biker, plus bit on proper bike knowledge in liveaction. Comedy might be more prominent but we'll see.

It's not the law here in the US but I strongly advise everyone who buys a bike at our shop to wear one. Last year I had two mountain bike accidents where I landed on my head and *still* had (on the second crash) a serious concussion. If not for the helmet, well, heads are not designed to be smashed against rocks!

This just keeps feeling more & more like Long Riders even down to the upbeat OST. Too bad it's not listed on MAL cause it would have been interesting to see if it was the same composer.

Ah, so the live action duo voice the sisters. Even though I'm already familiar with the basics of cycling, it's nice to see some real life examples provided side by side with the anime.

Also, the end cards are making proper desktop backgrounds.
