| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well this looked like some really awkward training...  There's some fan service in the bath but I'm also glad that we got a striding competition this episode. I think this episode had a heart stopping moment with the shortcut. Intense. The mixture of the music added excitement to the race. I'm pleasantly surprised with the determination of some of these guys. |

| Next opponent team got Shimono-san's character excited... and near onsen area? "Bulting" and Shimono-san's character has full of info., but not jumping? And even there's trauma from previous run. Oh, so it wasn't because he gave up, but he was not good at doing it. He gradually can do it, though, with the practice. Nobu's character is full of info. with the nutrition, he became somewhat look perverted with checking on everyone with his nearsighted eyes in onsen... Meeting Hanae-san's character and his younger brother, who acts more older than Hanae-san's character. lol @ Shimono-san's character's story to try to defeat his opponent. The girl is still not used to instruction, or rather, being affected by Hanae-san's character's instruction. It seems like they don't run according to his instruction, though. Shimono-san's character went to the shortcut he checked beforehand and got hurt. OnoKen's character is a nice character who helped out in Shimono-san's character's training and helped the team to win. Suwabe-san's character read the news about them winning, as well as Sakurai-san's character calling from oversea. lol @ "end card" animation with using that scene! |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| The intensity rises First half was the usual slice of life/characterization heavy portion but the parts with Takeru molesting every one plus Ayumu lying to that one dude about his fake dying little sister only for it to backfire on him had me dying of laughyer xD Second half was just amazing....Best race yet and I'm so proud of Ayumu for what he did and Honan truly deserved to win this race solely for his effort and my hat goes off to him...I also likd how got some more info on what you can do as a Relationer as well =o That ending tho... I guess with Ayumu being injured, this is going to lead to the other senior coming back to the team but man I can't wait to see Riku's brother |

| Good episode. The race was pretty exciting. |
| Really cool ep specially with Shimono's character jumping lanes (which was incredibly dangerous). Cool to see their first win. Looking forward to the next! |
| First half was fun, second half was intense. Best episode yet! 5/5 |
 |
| Well.. like.. what the fuck was this scene in the bathhouse? Not like I have something against fanservice, but this doesn't seem to be the anime that is watched by many girls. Btw as a Mirrors Edge addict, I just have to love this anime. Especially in the last scene where this pink haired guy in the harbour talks on the phone, the setting is sooo alike. ♥ |

Chicken is love, chicken is life ~ ♥ |
| This episode was a good one ! Ayumu's jump was so epic ... but no ... unlucky |
| Very good episode tbh. I'm glad this anime is not full of fanservice. |
| Takeru in the bath lol xD The race was really fun to watch, Ayumu really tried his best. Hozumi is really good, Definite Mvp of the game. Love the way he just jumps and darts through each obstacle. |
 |
| So megane got over his fear and practiced hard to try and pull off those jumps. But he got close to giving up because the slope was too steep. He had the right idea with the shortcut but it didn't exactly go according to plant as he didn't stick the landing right thanks to the tree in his way. Hozumi ended up being the real hero as, despite being 4 seconds behind the opposing team's captain, he won. And megane ended up pretty badly hurt despite Heath telling them to not get hurt. If their next match isn't that far away then they're in a pinch – who'll replace megane? Some fun bits here. The race was pretty cool, especially that last leg with Hozumi. Sakurai fell for their bluffs – the relationer was just there to put off the opposing team whereas the captain was really calling the shots. Now Rika's onii-san is coming back. The two don't seem like they're on good terms for some reason, and Stride probably has something to do with that. Kyouske thinks he isn't worthy of Stride or something which is why he refuses to come back. This guy, and Tomoe seem interesting. Will be interesting to see what events Tomoe causes upon his arrival. |
| Ayumu! ;-; Well, it was a great race! |
| Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... that is coffee. My anime list My manga list |
| I can't see how this ISN'T popular with the fujioshi crowd, so the fan service isn't unexpected. |
| Signatures Suck |
| This episode was so intense, loved every moment of it. |

Accelority said: Well.. like.. what the fuck was this scene in the bathhouse? Not like I have something against fanservice, but this doesn't seem to be the anime that is watched by many girls. Well this is an anime based off of an otome game, and those are marketed more toward female audiences. So manservice is something to be expected. Anyway, that was a pretty intense match, especially with Kadowaki going that far just to prove he isn't useless. The outcome was pretty predictable tbh, but the energy of everyone involved, along with the background music, still made it enjoyable and fun to watch. |
| 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. |
| long hair guy joining in next episode it seems |
| Oh god that was so good and I'm so pumped for Yagami's brother to show up! Also the little fujoservice was very welcomed,gj Takeru~ |
| Man,this show is in the first half comedy and fun,but the second half of the episode is 100% adrenaline and hype.I love it |
| Lead me out of the dark,bishounen space Jesus. |
| Damn Hozumi! I didn't know he was that good :O I always thought he's like on 4th place in their team :X Way to go! The race was pretty exciting too tbh xD |
 |
| that was intense they won by a slide |
 |
omg he died but he did it for his sister, thats so sweet |
| Great episode. I'm impressed by Ayumu's determination. Nice action and BGM overall |
| The bath scene was pretty hilarious. Takeru trying to get a good feel of how strong everyone was until he exhausted himself. XD I also didn't know Riku's hair was that short. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka and Natsuki Hanae being brothers was pretty clever. Both of their voices sound pretty similar that I mixed up who was who. The Stride match felt a little off to me. I think it was paced pretty oddly, but that's probably just me. At least we get to see more of Hozumi killing it on the court though. I'm so happy Ayumu finally was able to push himself, even though it got him injured in the process. And will Kyosuke come back out to show his stuff? I sure hope so. All in all, pretty good episode. |
| Oh my that fall... |
| Hi there |
| So far the best episode. Ayumu was great and I'm so glad Honan won. And now I can't wait for the next episode to see all the backstory between Heath, that other senpai and Riku's brother. |
| Riku and takeru will probably be the last 2 runners when Riku learns to pace himself |
 |
| I was hoping Ayumu would feel more courageous and optimistic after training with Kohinata, but I guess that's too much for him atm. Hope he gets better soon qq MC annoyed me a bit. Her relations scenes felt rushed and messy. It was almost confusing. Actually, I'm having a hard time grasping the way Madhouse is presenting this otome game. It's more choppy than fluid, but the exhilarating races make up for it, I guess..? I enjoyed the bath and the sick sister storytelling scenes xD Also, Kohinata-senpai is best POSA character.. so far. His stride is just too awesome. Can't wait for Tomoe! |
| Poor Ayumu tried his best :c But Kohinata saved the day :D The bath scene was so funny, he pretty much raped their legs xD And when Ayumu told that sister story lmaoo I can't wait to see the two guys at the end back in action! |
| Whoa this was pretty damn good. They pulled off some daring relations. |
| NOOOO AYUMU!!! What he did in that race was hardcore, but very risky. He knew about the risks and dangers but took the shortcut anyway because he wants his team to win. He deserves the MVP medal and most importantly, hugs, hugs, and more hugs because that badasss play he did there gave him a one way ticket to the hospital. ...I hope those injuries doesn't hold him back from participating in future Strides. |
| Hahaha the badscene was hilarious! And yet again another exciting race! Kohinata-senpai ♥♥ |
 |
| holy shit was anyone else surprised by the blood with the tree thing? this show seemed pretty simple and light hearted and then that happens. i was like damn. the race was pretty epic. |
 |
| Great episode. It was pretty intense, I really liked it. I'm particularly amazed by Kohinata's skills, he was literally flying during the race! And he's such a cutie ♥  |
| ONG NOOOOOOOOOOO T________T |
| Kadowaki trying not to be a burden for his team was just great, man. :´) |
| Nice episode as always , i'm not really a fan when it features comedy but damn the races are so great 100% Fun , 100% Adrenaline . i'd like to say Kadowaki MVP but i'd be lying since Kohinata was so much above the rest . but i gotta give him Credit for his courage and his determination |
 |
| The girl was quite easily flustered by the opponent >< Hope she won't get fouled again now Anywya long haired dude seemed to have a bit shorter hair oO Last time I felt like it was hella long |
| Kohinata has been stellar the past 2 matches! I laughed (ok, i really shouldn't) when he crossed the finish line then immediately turned right back for Kadowaki. It was his desire to go and save Kadowaki asap that made him even faster. :') The Kamoda brothers' issue got solved pretty quickly but I guess it's not something I want to see dragged out either. Could tell Yu was faking those "go!"s after the first one too. I hope Mihashi will come back somewhere in a future episode because more Hanae is always good~ |
 |
| Nice episode Loved the trening part The race was nice too |

| Loved the OST during the race. Really didn't expect Kohinata to be this BA when I first saw him in the 1st ep ^^; |
 |
| I'm really proud of Ayumu...but Takeru's passion for Stride is deeper than the Japan Deep. |
| Very good episode, Ayumu taking the risky jump :O Too bad, he got hurt :/ |
