| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Lol, of course they would add in an epic insert song to boost up the finale's hype. However, I will say that Langa performed very well against his opponent and kept his momentum. But yeah, all eyes on Langa this episode as he tries to surpass his limits. The fall was pretty nasty though. He took a huge risk on that move. Luckily, he survives but and went neck to neck to win. Probably the best episode of this show imo. |
 |
| It's time for the final beef between Adam and Langa Eve...in a death-defying course that Adam designed specifically to break the limits whenever and wherever possible. And it is, since this is the original "S" course. Langa breaking through his mental limits of adhering to Adam and following his deceased father's footsteps of snowboarding, skating is fun. True to Tadashi's word, Eve gets Adam going once again to his childhood-like self, and won the race, fair and square. Pretty good finale, skating will always be fun. Loved this show to finish the Winter 2021 season strong. |

So no Renga kiss?? |

| One of the best shows from season comes to an end today with a great finale. Langa did an amazing job there. Adam got back to his old self in a very intense match. Langa really came a long way. Tbh, one of my favourite shows of this season. In this episode, Langa did break his limits or bring the best out of him against Adam. Great to see that match. I liked Tadashi's character quite a lot. Overall, Reki was my favourite character in this show even tho he wasn't reeking of talent or anything, he continued to impress me throughout the series. Great show, great finale, great characters. Enjoyed every single episode from start till the end. Didn't thought I would like it but ended up loving it. |

| Not the best writing especially during episodes 10-11 but I enjoyed the characters and the story was very interesting! 6/10 for the anime. |

| This finale just takes everything the show has to offer and throws at our faces, entertainment from the beginning to the end. Really happy that this series was successful, you can tell the creators put a lot of work into this, so I'm happy that their hard work has been rewarded. Curious to see what comes next, it was a really fun ride. |
| I really like the fact that they changed the race for the last episode, I really liked it and that Langa vs Adam race was great, nice that Langa managed to win, overall I didn't expect this anime to be pretty good like that! I really liked it! 7/10 |
 |
| Kuroko no Basket meets Banana Fish featuring Hisoka Dio from the Hunter x Jojo series. It was great. I saw the whole thing today and I wish there was more. 9/10. |

| Hell yeah what a great ending. Adam showing up to that gathering on the roof from a fucking helicopter is the stuff that makes this show awesome. Sure not all the drama around Reki was super well written, but I felt like parts of it were done pretty well at least. But really who cares. This show was rad is hell and the skating was a blast to watch. |
| Eh. If there's anything I disliked about Initial D was the fact that it was too long, allowing for the same formula to be used over and over again, although it was compensated with the solid animation, soundtrack, and conflict between racers. All of which is similar to SK8, however this time I didn't like any of it too much. I definitely did like the drama between the skaters here, but I just can't help but see the similarities between Initial D and SK8, and that is not a good thing for me. Seemed too much like a knock-off of the street racing series, instead with a boring tournament formula for the last 6 episodes, an exact copy of Takumi and the racing battlegrounds too. If I compared my enjoyment between these two series, SK8 loses due to fact of this same formula used AND myself not being able to grow towards the characters within a single cour. Also a shame that I didn't get to see Reki and Langa race each other, which would have given me a glimpse of the 'final product' of their progression throughout the series. Sadly this glimpse was replaced by some sudden realization during Langa and Adam's race, that fun things are fun... boring. Once again, similar to my situation with Horimiya, I came to SK8 for an interesting original skateboard anime, but I was left quite disappointed. 5/10. Felt like Initial D 5th season lol |
| I really liked this finale, why did so many people vote that they hated it? The change in the course made it fun and feel new again, and I liked the characters in this episode. I do wish there could've been more, but I don't need to ask so much out of it. If people are just mad about the lack of Renga in this episode, that's pretty embarrassing. The anime never stated that this was a romance anime, so I don't know why you'd expect a kiss or something to happen. I mean they DID have a pretty cute hug anyways. This was a great anime and I'm sad that it's over now, but really glad I got to experience it while I could. |
| Adam getting away with his corruption charges feels a tiny bit cheap. Otherwise it was a really great series. Hopefully we see some more someday! |
| I just wanna say the song that played when Snow and Adam started their race was so good! Anyone knows the title and the artist? I've been literally looking for an hour and I have no clue what it is. I've looked at the official album too but it's not there :( |
| Great to see Adam propose to Tadashi. I hope they have a great time doing their pet play shit in that love hotel Tadashi is a little too familiar with. |
| My favourite part was when the deceased dad appeared and asked Langa "Are you winning, son?" I liked the series overall, but this episode was a bit cheesy. Worst part was SHADOW getting cockblocked :( |
 |
| I liked Adam’s new outfit, he was looking cool as always. Not a fan of the ending, it kinda got worse after Reki and Langa drama but it was a fun series overal. Reki’s sister started skating too, that was wholesome. Poor Shadow, felt really bad for him :( |
 |
| Alas, Adam sees the error of his ways, and finds his "happiness" in skating again. We then get to see the start of a race between Langa and Reki to close the series. The music was of course awesome as always, especially during the tournament finale. |

| Predictable ending, but it was still pretty enjoyable. I like how the course for the final S match was different, using the same one over and over was getting old. As expected, Langa won. I don't think anyone was seriously expecting a different outcome lol. And it was nice to see ridiculous and crazy skating moves one last time. I'm sure there are people who probably didn't like how outlandish the skating became at times, but I fucking loved it lol. From doing crazy high-speed flips to jumping off walls like Spider Man, it was stupid but fun to watch. This show was a lot better than I expected it to be when I first decided to watch it, it was legit a pleasant surprise. Of course I had some issues with the Reki drama and Langa being practically flawless, and I couldn't have cared less about that subplot with Adam and that policewoman that was hastily wrapped up in the last couple minutes, but I still thought this was a pretty solid show. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Damn, all I can say is that I really did enjoy this show, this season had so much in store but this show was one of the best. I'm doubting a second seasin but I'll be optimistic. |
 |
| Went into this episode expecting I might be disappointed if it was too rushed, but it was pretty good and I was overall happy with it! Reki and Langa didn't become a canon romantic couple, but Langa throwing himself into Reki's arms was still pretty satisfying. They are still so shippable. I know some will call this queerbait and they did with Free! but you can never make those people who dismiss everything as queerbait happy. Tadashi and Adam are gay as hell and no one can convince me otherwise. I laughed out when Tadashi blushed and was so happy about being Adam's dog forever xDDD as long as Tadashi is happy, more power to them and their kinky relationship. that being said, I wasn't crazy about how the anime treated Tadashi and Adam's relationship at the end, where it had to be Langa to teach Adam that skating could be fun again? Wanted it to be Tadashi who did that. the anime spent all this time showing scenes from Adam and Tadashi's youth, Tadashi going on about wanting to take skating away from Adam. But after ep. 11, Tadashi decided to sit it out. I guess the way the anime tries to excuse it is that Tadashi made up his mind that skating is bad and can't be a positive thing, but once he realizes how much fun Reki had skating against Adam, it needs to be Langa to be the one to change Adam because he can't do it? But still. it does feel like a whole episode was missing from this anime overall. I wouldn't be surprise if a lot had to be left on the cutting room floor due to Covid-related production issues. I think 13-14 episodes or more would have fleshed things out better. Not to mention, the side characters didn't get to do much except be there to give commentary in the last couple episodes. And while I didn't like Shadow too much, he got done so dirty in the epilogue! Also wish more was done with Miya's character. He didn't really get to do much after his debut episodes. At least it seems like he might reconcile with his friend at school? Joe and Cherry got a good amount of screen time though. Loved their dynamic. The side plot with the police lady going after Adam led to nothing? ngl, I liked Adam so much as a villain, I was wanting him to have a redemption arc instead of going to jail. But the side plot with him getting charged with perjury was so pointless. The anime could have easily left it out and not changed the story too much. Adam was already a total evil wacko in many other ways because of his violent skating methods and his obsession with Langa. Keep the evil aunties pressuring him to do their deeds, but just keep those evil deeds off screen Yeah the story threw in that bit with Adam wanting to have Tadashi take the fall for the perjury case, but that also could have been left out, and it would still be obvious that Adam and Tadashi's current relationship was really toxic and abusive if it had just focused on the skating story elements. And the animation quality really started to take a nosedive. Was hoping it would improve for the finale, because it looked pretty bad last episode, but it was clear the production issues didn't stop. Which is too bad, because it was really great visually up until the last few episodes. But so many other anime have struggled with production issues this past season. Don't expect to get a season 2, but it would be nice! All in all this anime was a lot of fun and I'm gonna miss it. Out off all the other mediocre sports anime that came out this past season, SK8 Infinity definitely came out on top! |
| They changed the race, that was honestly a really good call by the producers. Was a nice unexpected twist. Could almost call it Death Race, with the tombstone and Adam's questionable fashion choice XD Overall, it was an enjoyable show. I am not into skating one bit, but Bones did a solid job by making it look far more interesting than it did ever before to me. 7/10 |
 |
| I mean, sure it was nothing groundbreaking or anything but goddamn was it fun. A solid anime from the first to last minute of it. Definitely in my top 3 from this Winter. 8/10. |

| I was kinda worried about the final episode, but luckily everything lived up to my expectations. Loved it. Adam vs. Langa race was intense and dramatic! It felt like a real finale. For example, I liked that the track was different (and dangerous) and that Adam changed his theme to match his state of mind going into the race (depressing, dark, morbid). From the outfit to the skateboard to the grave : Adam doesn't hold back with the theatrics. I LOVED the ~other zone~ thing. Last episode, Adam said how he was in a world of himself, but believed Langa ("Eve") would join him there. It happened. Langa snapped out of it, and made Adam realize the real purpose of skating. Fun :p I agree that there was a potential for another episode(s), however, the writers wrapped everything up nicely enough. Miya and his school friend, Shadow and his crush (sad outcome!), Joe and Cherry continue to be bickering friends, Langa and Reki are having fun, and Adam and Tadashi have their interesting employer/employee friendship (Tadashi blushing was cute. I guess he's really into petplay lmao). Also, the after credits scene funny lol Series is 9/10 for me |
| This finale is a 10/10 for me. Adam's outfit and Langa's Beef with that Ost was so damn good, got my blood pumping. This anime has been a 10/10 for me since the beginning and Im gonna rate it 10/10 because of just how goated this anime is |
 |
| This was lit. I'm happy no one died, I saw some comments/posts about it. I liked Adam's outfit. It was almost the opposite. This ep ended quickly. Too quickly. I hope we gonna see S2. |
| i love how this last episode really went all shounen. oh no langa's gonna die! lol wtf came outta nowhere. tho I'm still v much upset but not surprised that the pairing for the final race had to be him and adam angsty adam can go fuck right off too. I absolutely hate him. he's still acting like he's above the whole universe but all his 'techniques' involve trying to physically kill his opponents so pop off ig. I'm not gonna accept the idea that langa basically 'saves' adam from his fucked up mind and world because omfg he doesn't deserve it. langa is far too good of a person to have to fix this piece of shit. "Nobody understands me boohoo" seriously. him being invited to that afterparty left me fuming. I can't believe the show still painted him as only a flamboyant/eccentric character. langa is literally god wtf. seriously what is that skating course tho- looks like some otherworld. that moment w his dad after he literally almost died made me all emotional. ig reki and his "LANGAAAAA" is the ultimate buff for langa skating. was the thing that reki told langa in the car about something after the finals are over related to their race in the after credits endscene? disappointing. all these unclear directions on their relationship. my heart remains unfilled.. as expected from hiroko utsumi. well. I'll take it since ep 8 was basically a confession. I feel the ending was wrapped up just a bit too fast. idgaf about adam/tadashi's sideplot but that whole legal situation closed up hella quick. guess it was just to appeal to a different sort of audience after all. |

DarkCrows said: What is the Insert Song Name That is played when Adam & Langa Battle Started? SK∞ the Infinity Original Soundtrack - The Way of Thaw is the song name. Starts at 16:45. You can find it on Youtube. It is not on Spotify unfortunately. Those of you interested in the song or genre, look into progressive house/progressive chill. I'm sure you'll enjoy listening to this type of music while skating or snowboarding. |
