As a snow and skate-boarder, I have to say that the last scene absolutely gave me chills. Can't wait for more episodes

This is so good already... The race really gave me the goosebumps. What surprised me the most was Yuuri singing the Ending song! I'm so happy hearing his voice.

Bruhhhh what the heck was THAT!?? I came into this show with no expectations, just to check it out.
I did not think episode 1 was going to be this exciting! WOW. I've always been a huge fan of snowboarding, not as much skateboarding, but when Langa started using his snowboarding skills, I was blown away.
And he's also from Canada. Yep, favorite character found already.

the ending theme song "Let's get the Fillings" is performed by Yūri. it's about having your teeth fixed after a skating accident. an illustration of what it takes to become the best.

God this is a painful reminder of the Air Gear OVA's and wishing for season 2 all those years ago. Glad that there's a new sport series that's pretty similar! (also, I was half expecting skankfunk to be the composer for this series lmao)

For what it is, it was an entertaining first episode. Only wish some aspects weren't so over-the-top. Already liking Langa way more than Reki, by the way.

Holy! That was really good! I wasn't expecting to love this so much.

I love Langa so much! His character design caught my eye right away, and then he said he was Canadian and that sealed the deal :>
This is probably the closest to a snow sports anime I'll get. I love the visual comparison between skateboarding and snowboarding wowww
I was expecting him to be colder personality-wise but I'm loving his soft boy vibe too.

I'm really intrigued about Cherry Blossom. Love his look, love his attitude. Very curious about Adam too. Characters don't get named Adam in anime unless they're a big deal. I'll be so happy if he's the chessmaster / final boss type. His pose in front of the monitors was such a Dio moment.

The animation is so dynamic and the character designs are so vibrant. Spectacular. A definite gem of a show. Really fun first ep! This show has my full attention for sure.

Ah, i may be pretty late to catch up this thing. But, yeah, this one was super fun. The story about skateboarding itself was unique. I never watch before, and can't even blame my memories from the past. So, yeah, this is a good experience. The duo main casts so far were so funny with a lot of comedic gags and skits they showed to me. Reki so far had a generic characteristic, but Ranga overall lifted up this first episode with his performance. In the end, its just not so cringe, and the skate racing was genuinely awesome. The art and animation were so far decent as a sport racing like this one, and yeah, overall this may be my fun-ride show through too many popular one. So i am glad i am catching up with this one, before its too late.

Really looking forward to see the second episode....

Not sure if I can buy the ending with Langa managing to skate that easy. I am not sure if skateboarding can also mean it is the same as snowboarding. But let's see if the anime teaches anything.

I am liking the premise and culture around here. Reki seems interesting, but too much was focused on Langa here.

Fine episode.

Great show.

The animation is very good, and Bones never disappoints people. I've watched Langa's part a million times.

Although I didn't know much about skateboarding, I became interested in it after watching the first episode. The proportion of passion and fun is just right, and it's well made. The men are also designed to be very handsome. I thought the two MC would be a classic brainless combination, but I didn't expect Langa to be quiet, gentle and goofy. Like him very much.

In a word, I am very impressed, and I will continue to watch it. Hope the screenwriter can write a good script.

Oh noooooo, I really like it. OTL
I like the characters so far, the style, the pizazz, the vibe, the character interactions, the designs, kinda the concept-- shoot. I wasn't expecting much but I might have fallen hard on this one. Ouchie ouch.
Hopefully the rest of the episodes work well too. ;o;

THAT LITTLE FOX THING BITING THEM...I kept rewinding that. xD

what's up with that stupid clown guy who looks like a rejected member of KISS?

Lmao that ending song where everyone screws up. xD

Chemistry with Reki and Langa looks good and overall, the show is pretty funny. I like it. :D

Just finish watching the first episode and the animation is so clean and beautiful but my god Reki is just damn annoyingly loud. Whenever he raises his voice it really irks me I just want to stuff a sock in his mouth. I don't know why this is so cause I don't mind loud characters like bakugo and Asta but I just find Reki unnecessarily loud. I hope he tones it down as I continue to watch but I doubt it.

One of the biggest regrets of my otaku life is not watching this anime when it came out weekly... but I'm here now and it's even more amazing than I've heard! The animation is stunning and on this day I gained 2 new sons; Reki & Ranga!

I love the fact that Ranga is this secret badass; those are the best kinds of characters.

I was expecting something different. Something more along the lines of a regular slice of life meets sports anime (without the goofy character designs. ie. wacky armor, ridiculous hairstyles/makeup, tails, hugely proportioned villain muscles). I was hoping for something smooth and something about street skating (as opposed to racing).

All I know is, there was an anime about skateboarding so I jumped on it. So my first feeling was disappointment. I didn't read the synopsis.

First impression, the art is slick. The colors are bright (including cool skateboard stickers and graphics). The music (heavy on the bass) really adds a nice element to the whole thing.
The characters' personalities are pretty clear from the get-go. The story and action is fast-paced. There's a lot of comedy as well, which I appreciate.

So far I like Langa a lot. He's got great hair and is shy and aloof. Reki is just passionately going on about skating while Langa is bored AF and interested in the bento box. lol.
Also, Langa is smart, duct-taping his feet to the board, he is a snowboarder afterall. Was epic when he saw snow and the music amped up.

That ending is badass. I'm here for it.

What a great first episode! Got me fully engaged with the story and intro to Langa's character. So cool how he felt the same adrenaline with his experience for snowboarding. Also, Reki really stands out in his school with that outift and hair xD woo! new show to binge on, any other skaters watching this series?
