| Has I said on a different topic I'm normally biased angainst sport animes. However the art from the thumbnail picture from ANN or AniDB caught my attention. So I decided to check this out. The first ep was pretty good. The art is definitely a plus. The characters were interesting, Fukazawa just made me laugh when she bluntly pointed out all the main character weak aspects :P. (I would crawl and hide after having suffered through that, lol). But of course, first ep was about intruducting the main character and there was little room for sports so.. me wonders.... Anyway I'll definitely check out the next ep. |
     |
| I was curious about this one, but I'm not sure yet if I want to commit to watching it. How many ep's is it supposed to be? |
     |
| 26 episodes says ANN, AniDB and MAL :) |
|
| I think I'm going to check this one out as well. |
| Looks so-so so far. Little predictable, and who knows how they're going to do with 26 episodes (seems like it should be shorter). Only one way to really find out though. I'll be watching for a little to see. |
| #dontcare |
| wasn't too bad... if it wasn't for his short cool side i'd have dropped it >_> |
 |
| Downloading it currently... It seems kinda interesting so I'm going to give it a try. I don't usually watch much sport anime but Prince of Tennis changed my opinion of it for good. So, gonna be back soon to tell what I think of this. --- Now that I've seen the first ep...Hmmm...It seems pretty interesting but I'm still not sure am I going to continue watching. That girl (whatever her name was) was really annoying. |

| Its a good anime but repeated like eyesheild 21 they pic a weakling and turn him to an Ace but I think I am going to keep seeing it nice pair. |
| OK, seriously...the bike isn't magic, right? That would be too much. |
|
hounddog said: hm I doubt they will move that way. I think the scene with the sparkling bicycle was done to show that he was awed by the bike rather than suggest that it might be magical. That was at least my interpretation. OK, seriously...the bike isn't magic, right? That would be too much. |
|
| It's a metaphor - that makes sense. Whew. |
|
hounddog said: yeah that's the right word :PIt's a metaphor - that makes sense. Whew. |
|
| As long as it doesn't go all ZOMGsupermagicbicycle!1!!1 :P I haven't gotten around to ep 2, so I was nervous. I'm not sure what else this goofy show is gonna throw at me next. |
|
| This looks good... dammit... I need to stop coming to these threads... too many new anime I want to watch... Well... let's add it to the wanna watch list... |
hounddog said: lol don't worry. Ep. 2 doesn't show any magical stuff around the bycicle and I don't think it will, ever.As long as it doesn't go all ZOMGsupermagicbicycle!1!!1 :P I haven't gotten around to ep 2, so I was nervous. I'm not sure what else this goofy show is gonna throw at me next. FurubaFan said: that's true lol... It's the 9th show I'm watching from the new season. ^^This looks good... dammit... I need to stop coming to these threads... too many new anime I want to watch... Well... let's add it to the wanna watch list... |
|
| this was interesting. I dont think i have seen another bike anime so i'll probably go through this one. That main character better hurry up and grow some balls. |

| Finally Medoi is releasing this ^^... ANFS translations made no sense at all sometimes. e.g. minute 14.30-15.30 in first ep. anfs translation: Fukazawa (talking to Shinozaki) - You're Yousuke right? Ah, you seemed kind of foolish, but you'll be capitain of the bike club. If you can do that, remember that you promised to join. Mendoi translation: Fukazawa (talking to Shinozaki) - Yousuke said that...Oh, he's my stupid brother. He's capitain of the Cycling Club. He promissed to give me an allowance if I brought in new members. I can clearly see which one is the correct one... Mendoi's video quality is slightly better too (Colors are more vivid). And typesetting is way better. I just hope they release episodes at a good pace. |
|
| I seen the episodes also and wasn't really found of the typesetting no =( but its the first vike animne I know of so I am sure too watch it all. Though as mentioned I hope the guy gets his balls fast he a damn sissy for way too long -.- |
 |
| Oh thank goodness...glad someone was subbing it, but I just can't stand ANFS. |
|
| I was greatful that they started subbing. But I already knew Mendoi was gonna pick the show and now that they've started releasing episodes, my choice is obvious. ANFS needs to recruit real translators if they want to improve ^^ |
|
| Yeah I just have to re download them and rewatch it so I know what the real translations were so I have the good perspective on the conversations instead of guessing if what they say was right it was rather weird watching it the way ANFS translated it. O well while we wait for Mendoi gets the rest of the releases subbed i´ll just watch some more other animes while waiting xD |
|
| After hearing so many bad thing on ANFS on other forums I decided to hold off on this and wait for Mendoi's release and since it was released yesterday I watched it and enjoyed it.. although seeing another wimp for a main character is a downer.. oh well here's hoping he changes over time. |
  |
| I'm not that big fan of sports anime.I like sports to stay realistic,no imba skills pls,with an exception to Air Gear though.Hope they don't ruin this. *prays* |
 |
| loved it it was pretty good and it was very scary see how much the main character reminds me xD.(exsept he was pretty eachi and im not) |
 |
| What an awesome sports anime :O |
| hahaha, wtf, i didn't get when his pants just randomly dropped. |

| why is she splashed with blue paint when there's almost no blue in the painting? love the female lead, especially her brutal (but not malicious) honesty ;) man he's upbeat about his encounter with her, its like he totally forgot all the horribly embarrassing things that happened. I wonder how often he drowns in the bathtub? love the suicide style note he left about going to school ;) |
| Good start to this series so far. The main girls is a a boss while the MC is her bitch. Ye, I think I'll enjoy watching this. |
 |
| LOL what was with that part when he was painting so furiously??? That cracked me up so hard, I'm liking this guy. He's so innocent (well not his perv side), how he just does errands for those guys and then asked for them to pay him back. I'm watching this for KajiKaji and you can totally tell that he's improved a lot over these past few years. He sounds so cute and abashed all the time lol. Too bad KajiKaji doesn't use that voice anymore :( |

Too bad KajiKaji doesn't use that voice anymore :( For a second there I thought that it was another person, he sure went all super saiyan when he is drawing, huh? And his pants dropped out of no where LOL! I also like this guy, along with his little perv side. His perv side is actually quite innocent compare to the other guys. I bet that he would restrain himself even though his girlfriend agreed to let him.. That OP is so catchy, the moment I heard it, I fell in love at first hearing. |

 |
| I've been wanting to watch this for a while, but it felt appropriate to wait until the day the Tour started to finally get to it. So far it's intriguing, the opening and first scene really drew me in. The way fukuzawa and Mikoto interacted so hilariously awkward. That scene where Mikoto checked for a boner after his dream made me spit water everywhere. Looking forward to slowly watching this as the Tour unfolds. |
 |
| Mixed feelings so far. Main girl pisses me off. She's so superficial - the opposite of the girl in Yowamushi Pedal. Looks like she'll be used for fanservice like Momoi from Knb. Out of all the males they could have gotten, main guy has to be voiced by the dreaded Yuki Kaji and he's using his whiny-as-hell voice too. The comedy fails on me. The OST is really good, yet I'm not sure if it suits this type of show...It feels very sci-fi instead of sports anime-like. The animation is pretty good for it's release year as well. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. |
| The characters seem pretty flawed as of now, but they also show some positive traits and I'm sure they will eventually grow on. Tone of the episode was very good, tho and I'm almost hooked already. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That was the most awkward premiere episode I've seen for anything in years. Even the comedy moments at times felt way out of place and way too off guard for me for it to be humorous. Didn't even really feel like a sports anime either the way it was written. At least the music was pretty good and sort of refreshing too, different for a sports anime for sure. |
| Interesting start especially for the Tour de France part, though I don't like how average is the main character yet |
