| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- ...Seriously? ...Seriously?!? ...SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?! Okay, the ABC's of Love might have been funny and cute 3 episodes ago or something, but now? How can you take me to 1 km to the finish line in the first half of the episode (super-exciting, wasn't it?) and then completely take a random break for the second half?!? Not cool. Not cool at all. On a brighter note, I guess we'll revisit Shinozaki next week. Or whenever it comes out. And I really, really liked the first half of this episode. I might even like the second half someday... after I know who wins. ;) On a sour note, I'm guessing we won't see who actually wins until episode 27. ;) |

| I've seriously skipped like 50% of the past 3 episodes. I really don't care about anyone's past, unless it's Shinozaki. Grr, it needs to stop having him suck. |
| Well it is Shinozaki's first race, and he's only been riding for a month so you can't really expect him to win the race even if he is a prodigy or the shounen sports lead. For those who want to know the outline of the next couple eps. |

| Hmm.....? lol Its seems the race is quickly drawing to an end but its not even nearly as exciting as the race for the first two checkpoint awards. And Shinozaki is 15 minutes behind the lead group..?....even though Ive always felt as if Yousuke would win the race it would have been nice to see Shinozaki fighting it out with everyone at the end of the race.....Well anyways I'm still looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Finally, we get an episode with little or no retrospection, but I felt a tad disappointed because from the previews of the last episode, I thought that this one would be Shinozaki-centric one and although he appeared more than he did than the previous episode, it wasn't the episode that I was expecting. However, I am glad that at least half of the episode was dedicated to the race, although, I was slightly disappointed that they stopped right at the end of the race to begin a flash-forward. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Shinozaki-Yamato ABC of love, it brought much humour that was sorely missed during the last few episodes, but they could have put it at a better place. I'm dying to know who would win the race. I hope it's Yousuke who wins the race, because the other two has already won other race awards, plus it'll be nice for the "Uncrowned King" to actually win something. Is it me, or is anyone else tempted to download the next episode in the raw to see who wins the race? In any case, the next episode looks like a Shinozaki-centric episode – I hope it's true. |
 |
| Oh What the hell? I agree, this would have been fantastic and fun (& somehow slashy?) if it wasn't right at the end of the race! Oh, that's just really really mean. And I think it would be silly for Shinozaki to win anything after the first mountian award. Even then, I was so glad Yamato got to win the second one and didn't lose out. Yousuke for the win~ |
 |
| ABC's thing was dumb as hell. Obviously they wanted to prolong this for episode 24 but still, what a lazy attempt to stall us. |
| Great intense battle when the 3way challengers went downhill next to each other. Follow by a wtfroflolmao 2nd half. I just cracked up non stop watching that. This ep's highlight: when Yuki was standing by the door watching those 2 idiots makin a fool of themselves the whole time. |
  |
| i loved it. i didn't want it to be reveled so fast. it's like my fav ep. the only thing i didn't like is the fact that my beloved yamato kun likes f-cup. TT_TT |
 |
| it was pretty nice episode. |
 |
| They surprised me with the ABCs of love thing, but I guess I welcomed it because Over Drive is essentially quite a humorous show to begin with. I think they put this ABC thing at a right moment to get viewers frustrated and wanting more, but that's just because the show's getting to its climax! |
 |
| The first half left you wanting more to know who wins...and then they randomly throw in the ABC of Love thing? Granted, the ABC of Love was amusing, but it should've been done 3 episodes ago. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| Lmao, the ABC of love. |
 |
| Boring and pathetic wtf.. |

| I guess Mikoto recovering and winning the race is now out of the question. I thought they said the race was 186km so I was surprised when they said it was about to end ~150, guess I misread. The end of the first half was gripping and intense, can't wait to see who the victor ends up being. That second half had me laughing at its absurdity but I hope they get back to the race asap. |
 |
| wtf is with the last half that could have been an OVA...just why did they put this in the middle of a race cb27ded said: Granted, the ABC of Love was amusing, but it should've been done 3 episodes ago. yeah it was a bit funny before but it's really lame if they lengthen it T_T |
| Lol, the flashbacks are one thing, but this is killing the flow of the race. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Sad for Shinozaki... I would like to see Yamato win now I guess. Shitty 2nd half filler though |
 |
| The anime has been officially finished when Shinosaki won the race. Everything, which happened after it, it's only to fill the 26 episodes... Extremely creepy anime. |
