Downhill roads must be most dangerous for city bike riders due to the poor braking device. Onoda managed it well. His facial expression was funny as always. No wonder Naruko mimicked it. He was lucky to get a road racing bike during the racing. CRMO bikes are rare these days when it comes to road racing bikes. Would be amazing if he caught up with Naruto and Imaizumi with his heavier bike.

Imaizumi spoke in a low voice during racing, yet he was able to communicate with Naruko. That's anime.

NOOOO!! Why did it have to end there T_T

This circuit is pretty damn amazing. Has every type of road in it.

Loved Onoda's despair when he found out how outmatched he is on the mamachari.

Naruko and Imazumi were totally awesome!! They're in their own world XD
Loved how they were talking about Onoda catching up ^^ They both really respect him.

Then the last scene with Onoda getting the road racer!! And taking off right away like it's normal XD Their reaction were lol. Onoda really is friggin talented. Can't wait til he catches up to the two in front. This should be awesome :D

And as usual...lol at the post credit scene XD...Poor Imaizumi hahahaha. The girls reaction to him talking about anime was lol. "It's a nice song" XD

Finally , Onoda with his road races. He's going to beat the hell out of everyone ! It'll be even more epicer if he passes the others while singing Hime Hime xD

Great episode , great series 10/10 , haters gonna hate.

Solid episode like usual. Great build up and suspense. Wish the episodes were longer! Too many cliffhangers. :( Damn you, sports anime! Good luck, Onoda. Catch up!

Kinda boring episode if you ask me, though I'm glad they got rid of the mommy bike, it was ridiculous to even start the race with it and I would've been really angry if he would actually keep up with them.

Though the pace is rather slow I'm hoping next episode will be a bit more action packed and I wonder how many episodes it's gonna take to end this race.

I really like how Onoda, Naruko, and especially Imaizumi are all friends. Given their characters, you'd expect a typical anime rivalry between Onoda and Imaizumi where Imaizumi doesn't accept Onoda and is a total jerk about it (eg. Naruto and Sasuke), but here we see a splendid display of friendship.

Can't help but smile because of that throughout the entirety of each episode!

Next episode should be fun. Can't wait for him to catch up to those other first years and have them be like wtf? Also the opening and ending songs and definitely growing me. Can't stop listening to them.

It'll be amusing if they make a game for this anime (maybe in NDS or PSVita) and one of the challenges is to win that short sprint to the vending machine using mommy's bike no matter what before there's a cut scene of you changing to road racer.

Of course the difficulty would be "so-freaking-impossible-I'm-about-to-throw-my-NDS". It's rare for a game to have such a troll (nearly impossible) level these days.

That was so exciting! I need it to be next week pronto - I don't think I can live for long without seeing the outcome of this race. I hope Onoda does catch up to Imaizumi and Naruko (actually, I'll be more surprised if he doesn't) but I don't think he's gonna win, no matter how hard he pushes.

Tadokoro is so hunky and bara, I'm glad we got to see more of him.

Hmmmm.... 6.5/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

Well, I am glad Sakamichi got a race bike, because it is obvious that mama-bike fulfilled its purpose. Man, I swear I had a Going Mary recollection, but, fortunately, Sakamichi is focused only on the race. Know next to nothing about bike racing, but I like his stance.

Love the camera following the guys when they first leave for the race. :3 That was cool.

Poor Imaizumi in the omake... ^^; What to say when you don't want to offend someone? He's really a good guy, I like him. Naruko is good, too. I even kind of like that "I'm an experienced rider" guy, even if he is kind of... That guy that went ahead is going to be the first to be picked up, I just know it. *eyeroll*

I hope he keeps up the otaku stuff, and not just in the omake. Hime Hime should be, how to put it... like when you're exercising, and a song with a good beat gives you something to keep pace with? It's a peppy song, he could turn his pedals to it, lol.

Honestly this episode was sort of bad imo. First of all, he looks like a mental there, desperate to get back into the race. Second, I don't get his extreme motivation or his obsession. I didn't like how everyone make him out to be special too, but it was good near the end after he started cycling on his road racer bike.

Agree. He's not a bad character but sometimes he gets a little too desperate for my liking especially considering how carefree he was in the beginning, going at his own pace.

I wonder what would have happened if the mommy bike got another upgrade.
Like removing basket etc and addicting another gear or two and reverting the mechanism position to what it should be for better speed.
Yes i know you can't race with that but i wonder if he could beat the other newbies.

I felt sorry for Onoda when he fell and was all desperate (talk about drama overload but that's expected in sports Anime and manga).

Still, he has a spanking new bike (somewhat since it's secondhand) and now he can catch up.
