the onsen scene was a+++

i feel like kyosuke will come back now that shogi (ayumu?) has been hurt and yagami's brother is finally coming back after all the hints about him. let's hope this is as good as i want it to be.

Lots of laughs this episode. The cringe-worthy onsen seen and Ayumu's plan backfiring on him were (from a comedic standpoint) the highlight's of this episode.

They've been doing a good job at capturing the tension of the sport. Even if I feel like they're going to come out on top, there's still moments where I have to hold my breath.

Nice episode. Takeru always looks so serious, but is very good to harassing their teammates hahaha. Ayumu could show that it can also be good runner at all costs but the jump was too risky. Finally Honan team proved to have a splendid coordination.

Hozumi continues to prove that his skill is quite above everyone else! This episode along with episode 1 and 3 shows how wonderful he is, but why won't people acknowledge that? every character in the anime always like, oooohh yay riku is so fast!! oowww wowww takeru is so talented the star of under-15!!! we better watch out for them!!! While the real threat is actually Hozumi... I'm confused

Takeru's groping intensifies ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ayumu did good, but he's out :'(
Hozumi won the race 4 seconds behind, team Mihashi was out played by the relationer in the last half even thou Sakurai messed up in the beginning.
Ayumu only leaving the difference by 4 seconds helped too.

This episode was awesome!

Even though the first half was slice of life stuff, it was still enjoyable to watch. The part where Ayumu's lie backfired on him was great XD

The race was fantastic. It was really intense. I can't believe Ayumu went that far...So now that he's injured, I guess the third year will come back?

omg he died


but he did it for his sister, thats so sweet


lol I'm dying. That guy at the end truly believed him XD

I think someone might take over Ayumu's position but I could be wrong. It would be nice if some new characters came.

I was just wondering that considering how flashy and bishie the characters look- I'm looking at you guys with 2 meters long hair, Ayumu looked a bit too plain to be in the main cast. I can totally see him being written off as an extra with the plot convenient injury but I may be wrong too since I'm not familiar with the franchise.
Also, it bugs me but can't the relationers get their own private booth or something. I feel like it's a major disadvantage if they have to relay beside each other, it will just distract them or in my case, get on my nerves.

Finally, a great episode. Ayumu was very respectable here, and Kohinata was awesome. Guess Long Silver-chan will take Ayumu's place starting next episode which is sad. Also, Sakurai needs more focus, or have more defining traits. She's just sorta there.

Also, both of the songs are amazing. I'm addicted to the ED song currently, heard it like 8 times.

The glasses guy was really reckless to jump off like that but hey that helped the team to win.

I really hate the yaoi bait in this show.

thanks @oatgoblin for catching that

Excellent episode! During the match, I teared up two times. Shimono's character is really well done in this episode especially. I also like OnoKen's character and he shines a lot when running.

Unfortunately, the brother drama in the Mihashi team was too rushed and I didn't feel anything because I haven't gotten attached to them yet. However, this Anime's pacing is actually not that bad considering they're gonna introduce all the teams in one cour. I thought it would be way worse but it's actually fine.

Looking forward to more.

Ayy I'm liking the animation, art and the colors
Welp, we got some neat calorie knowledge, nothing bad
100% sure Takeru has got a muscle fetish or something
Dat imouto scenario
Facking Kadowaki being that clicheass character "gotta connect..", but he got that determination which was good to see, I feel he might be replaced by someone. Who knows.
So Yagami's brother is gonna join the team again? and white/pinkish hair guy who looks like Ukitake will possibly be joining as well? dis gonna be gud!
Good episode, ED is cool as always, I really like the song it fits with those cool visuals
Some kicks and shit in the next episode.
3/5

Episode where I appreciated the humor and the small parenthesis that explains something of Stride, but I also have to complain about the fact that the whole race has failed to involve me in the right way, a little without teeth for me. The characters are cute, drawings and animations on the sufficiency.

Interesting episode. Really loved their teamwork and strong chemistry. Soundtracks was pretty good too. Wonder how fast Yagami Riku's brother can run.

Burning eyes with bushy brows. Well, Rock Lee's confirmed.


i know, i couldn't help but see the reference (even if it isn't one).
-----
the fanservice part was a bit sudden it kinda caught me off lol. but those guys are seriously hot tho i can't deny it :P

didn't think they'd win this one either, especially with that beyond stupid relationer being intimidated. she seriously sucks and the crew needs to tell her to train her mind to stay focused on herself any no-one else. they nearly lost because of her. she's basically the one pulling the strings here.

still can't get enough of the pretty visuals of the ED.

what's wrong with the "fanservice"? nobody complains during any another typical onsen scene. seems like everything triggers fragile masculinity these days.

anyway i could have almost sworn that yuu sounded like he was the one who was voiced by matsuoka yoshitsugu at the beginning LOL brothers indeed. stellar voice cast!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there

Would have liked to have seen that brothers plot line fleshed out a bit more, but it's still nice to see the other teams being more than faceless opponents.
