| Yikes, a misunderstanding can cause complicated feelings in this episode. Once again though, it seems the past can really affect events in the present as shown again. This feels like a recurring trend in this particular show. |
 |
| More drama... Tokumaru is really not cut out to be the number 1 driver. |
 |
| Kouya really doesn't deserve all the flack he is getting and i hope he is not doing anything bad and that he is found soon |
IAmVento said: This show should be called Overtalk because that’s all they do. There has been like 12 total minutes of racing in 7 episodes. This plot is less interesting than Oreimo and that’s really saying something. The animation looks great though. This isn’t MF Ghost. It’s about the behind the scenes stuff |
 |
| Man I’m really worried about Kouya I hope he didn’t try to hurt himself. Seeing people complain about the drama and lack of racing.. this has always been a behind the scenes and character interaction story as opposed to straight up racing like MF ghost.. it’s supposed to be slower. |
|
| damn koya is gone i hope he does not do suicide |
| ...oh. my. heart. 🤯 In more ways than one. Yeeeesh. There is so much to unpack in this episode, I don't even know where to begin. And for once the light-hearted "funny stuff" with Alice and Satsuki doesn't even work to pad and stretch the drama, I'd say they were almost a misfit. I'll probably have to rewatch this. |

I mean do people even know or care about whoever took a picture for the latest burger or soda billboard? It just seems so petty. |

IAmVento said: The show was branded as a racing anime. The title is literally Overtake. We’ve seen what.. 2 people get overtaken so far. And I think both of them were the MC. Also the drama is super boring to me. I love me some good dialogue but this was just painful. Crunchyroll NEEDS to add a speed up feature. The title being overtake is not just literal racing but also a play on words. It was always shown as a behind the scenes underdog story of an F4 team going to the big leagues. Part of that is always going to be character drama. If you look at the biggest sports films, coach Carter, hoosiers, a league of their own, 42 etc all feature that. Sometimes the sport takes a backseat |

| @otakuweek You've clearly not heard horror stories of how absolutely vile Japanese netizens can be when it comes to ganging up to witchhunt and dox people they perceive having wronged them in one way or another... 😅 |
| Cancel culture rears its ugly head here /sigh I liked how Koya tried to keep the sponsor from leaving but unfortunately that did not work out. With Komaki's team losing their sponsor they now have to practice less presumably to save wear on the tires and that has negatively affected their racing strategy. Hoping that Koya is ok but it looks like he hasn't been home in a while. |

| What a cliffhanger! That was such a heartfelt apology from Haru but where did Kouya go? |

| @yellowheartren dude, do you follow the news with all the wars? do you see all the pics and videos on internet? do you see all the people reposting baby's in blood etc and you are telling me that the anime is right even if in November 2023 people like what the photographer did... the plot is wrong, nobody will cancel him in reality but this is fiction and the idea was bad, the guy can not take anymore a picture of somebody because people were mad at him because he did his job... i like the anime when they are talking and explaining real things... the pilot didn't learn like Capeta how to race in karting before to be a pilot for a F4... I'm a F1 fan, and when they race,it's not bad but the rest is not that great... |

| @otakuweek Yes I do. Doesn't mean any one person can't take any one photo of their late relative personal in their grief and escalate things from there. Just because it's not an everyday thing doesn't mean it can't or doesn't happen, especially as different cultures do view such things very differently. I'm also a F1 fan, and I happen to enjoy all the rest of it too. |

Obviously you don't know much in terms of racing. It's like 10% track time and the rest is politics.
| @Rye112 who are you talking to |

| Kou plot is starting to overstay it's welcome. Like it's good there is drama in the anime but I think it was time to shift it towards the driver's, Harunaga bursting at the seams due to his overly enthusiastic personality and now faced to confront reality as he sits injured, Tokumaru having to confront imposter syndrome but also the clock for making a name for himself in a spot he didn't earn but luck into, and Kota finally realizing that he does have a hope and an aspiration, a hunger, for more but unable to think of a way to make happen are all great, well written, and exciting, but the Kou chan was is a drag...he'd already been cancelled ten years ago, already overcame some trauma, and is now back to 0, unsure where they are going with it with just 5 episodes left... Anyway curious how Ena may help the team, even if just connecting them with someone to talk about sponsorship... |

| I acctually think it is pretty realistic - not sure about the US (where a lot of people in this forums are from). But in my country it is (laws got stricter regarding this) punishable to take pictures of people in such situations. Even if you don't do stuff that would it make harder for the rescue team / medical team to help. I guess he really could not have done anything to help and it was not punihsable by law in Japan - but they morally questioned that he used the pic to get win a prize. (If I remember correctly he won something somewhere.) Not sure about the parents of that girl - this could really be worse if he did not ask them. Then it would be weird if the others just defended him without reflecting on this. Probably nobody has thought about this yet and I first thought where were some missing infos but it was fine since the anime did not focus on this that much. Now with the possible suicide ... really looking bad. I thought we'd focus on the racing a bit more and on the development of the other chars. This setback is not too bad though - if they deal with it in a way that feels well-written. On that side: I liked the other driver (that is in the hospital now) - how he has his own worries. ("Maybe they don't even really need me" - something like that.) That felt really good. Similar for the other guy (previous #2) ... that now has to support/help the younger drivers. And interpreted the missing advice from the previous #1 in a totally wrong way. (He probably thought the other guy was arrogant or something. When other guy just thought he was fine and did not need any advice.) This is some great stuff. Did not expect the focus to shift heavily on this. Also the worries from the other guy about getting "too old" and having to get some results to be able to move up and in some other racing league. The main complaint so far: This is listed with 1-cour only. Could as well develop a good 2-cour stuff here. The boss of Belsorisso is great as well though. He somehow tries to take into account the feelings of his drivers. Could be more - but the way the depict it is realistic. There always are misunderstandings and he is not a psychologist trying to analyze others constantly. He wants results for his team as well. The way he also cares - is realistic. He has to keep the feelings of the drivers in mind as well. And their health - not only the physical one. |
| Oh damn the public hasn’t forgotten about Kouya’s picture yet |
 |
| The Suzuka Circuit declares the red flag, and Satsuki narrowly escaped death from the crash with broken bones, literally a Niki Lauda situation. As much as Alice wants to support him, she can't find the right words to say to him, and Kouya seemingly went missing since the Suzuka race, which to hear that Mikazuki Beverages is cutting their sponsorship with Komaki Motors, it's the same action that came back to bite him on the Tohoku Earthquake incident 10 years ago that sparked an outrage. Luckily, this is not a big issue for now, but the damage could still be retained, that he couls've saved a life instead of being insensitive and taking a photo. Back on the racecourse, Belsorriso's Toshiki dominates in Satsuki's place while Haruka faltered. Haruka wanting to discuss with Kotarou, and the latter with the former, Kouya is still nowhere to be seen, and Haruka feels like he misunderstood Kouya's intentions, though he's definitely overthinking his grudge. That comes first before Kotarou's news, and with the address provided by Saeko, Haruka makes the long trip to Kouya's house, as Alice visits Satsuki to the amazement of her, as Satsuki wants to get back to racing as soon as possible with his recovery. Alice might struggle with her words, though Satsuki's clearly putting up a facade and lamenting that his luck has run out. Toshiki feels the same as he's a bit aged and needs to move on quick, and Haruka is afraid that he might intrude on Kouya's feelings from the last episode, critizing him of his decisions. An apology given, but sadly Kouya is not at home...where could he be? |

|
| god damn when Haruka entered his apartment I thought things were about to get REAL dark 💀 hopefully that doesn't happen |
 |
| No way Haruka said all these nice things to an empty flat! I hope Kouya is alright! But I'm suprised not even his ex-wife knew he was missing. Since they work together and she still cares for him. Belsorriso also has their drama going on. Harunaga is such a good guy, I wish someone would actually tell him. Everyone just believes he's fine cause he's popular. |
| Where is Kouya? It´s the great question! kekeke |
| I'm more about the racing, I don't want all the drama that comes with the show... |
| At least Satsuki isn't severely wounded... I wonder what is truly happening to Madoka though :/ |
 |
| Ah shit they really went and threw the "character talking to another character hiding the door" trope with Kouya not actually being in his apartment. So uh... check the rooftop quick Haruka! |
| where did he goooo |
