Wow that was great!

Definitely much better than I expected. Madhouse always impresses. The race was suspenseful and fun to watch, along with the nice ost. The art style is very vibrant which is great as well. Hanakana is so based.

Some of these comments bother me about the anime being too shojou and too romance. The source is an OTOME VISUAL NOVEL, of course that's how this anime is going to be!

Overall cool episode.

Fine episode with slight intriguing characters and storyline. Soundtracks was pretty much decent too. Will give it a try.

3.0/5 - Was quite interesting episode.


Note: I rarely give episodes 4 and 5 which represents excellent and masterpiece.

Well, this episode wasn't very interesting or funny. ~ The characters are not special. Fortunately, the character design is fine and the soundtrack is unexpectedly good. I think that this anime won't entertain me that much.

I thought this was gong to be the little brother of Free but it was actually good. If they focus more on the races instead of any kind of bait r romance, this could be fairly interesting with the relay-style free run.

Btw i am a bit ignorant so can someone tell me if this is actually an sport or just based on ideas of free run?

always been interested in parkour and all those sports that break the limits of where you can go (climbing, free-running, airsoft, the already named parkour,etc...) but never heard of stride, probably due to it being aniche sport that needs specific area to be done in, and in italy it would be more than extremely hard to do.

That was a fun episode. Hoping this show turns out to be really good. The casting is so great with a million my favorite seiyuus, so voice work's top notch. I find it pretty funny that the two leads, respectively by gender, were Kodaka and Kobato in Haganai. Did anyone else catch that?

I actually didn't think the members already in the club were older, so that took me by surprise. But that practice Stride race had me on the edge of my seat. That was very intense.

This felt an awfully lot like Haikyuu!!, but with a girl in the middle.

Hopefully the fujoshi bait will be light on this one as well, but only god knows if this will a be a rip-off of Haikyuu or Free

I don't get how they're gonna introduce the 5 (or more) teams... omg

Next ep is only gonna be about the main school and maybe we'll see an appearance of the first rival school at the least. How are they gonna do this without rushing it :C

well, it's based off an otome game, so it's more female-targeted yeah

I loved how this anime could make me laugh.
I liked the intro colors and music.

The story about the stride is nice.

I'm waiting too much of this anime.

Seems promising. Hopefully Sakurai doesn't turn out to be one of those disposable/useless female protags, she seems like she could actually be worth something if written properly. Fujiwara is probably my favourite so far, but I like weirdos.

I can't believe anime has made parkour actually interesting.

It was fun. I know next to nothing about the game because I usually only buy stuff in japanese if the ratings are really high but this made me curious.

I had no ideia Stride was an actual thing though.

Decent. SOL moments seem a concern but the setup to and the race itself was done well, might keep watching for the art alone.

I liked the first episode and I'm not even sure why I picked up this anime since I don't seem to fancy sports anime. It is a strong start and I hope the rest of the series can continue on a similar level.
That part when they needed a 6th member I was literally screaming "let the girl run" and they did let her so I'm cool.

OxT!!!

This seems nice! Some free-running kind of sport with that air gear touch.
I was wondering why they were holding hands, but when the 'relationer' came up, that's when I understood how the relay came into play.

Oh well, sports anime do tend to have fujoshi bait around, so no qualms here!
VAs are great too!

4/5 for a first ep.. I just hope they do more than 12 episodes though

Pretty good start. Character's are pretty generic but I still think Nana's adorable.

The race really got my heart pumping although I have to admit it was a bit short. Here's to hoping that the next Stride contest will be more intense and awesome. Will definitely stick around for more.
