The drama again...

Riku keeps being distressed by the mention of his bro and Sakurai keeps being fouled by the other relationer... who sure screamed a lot btw ><

Kuga still hated for a while although it was clearly not his fault...

Ahhh I felt so satisfied when Honan beat the other team.
Those douches got what they deserved.

"Is that your style? Being polite to the guy you're going to lose to",
oh the irony.

The drama was really cheesy and annoying... and they went way out of their way to make it seem like everyone's an asshole on the other team.

The little brother trauma crap is also full of shit. It's really stupid... but fuck it...

Hozumi is very agile and fun to watch when he's racing. In the first episode I thought he is made to seem good, but in reality he's not that good. That doesn't seem to be the case which is good.

That Yuri dude(?) is so annoying. Nice guy or not, his appearance is just irritating. And the whole connecting feelings was just cheesy.
Still love it though, Kuga seems like a good (re)addition to the team.

By the way, anyone knows name of the song that played during the match? I tried googling the lyrics but so far had no luck.

I expected Kuga to be some kind of Stride god tbh, but looks like he is just a normal runner. Ok then.

Heath and Kuga brotp too strong, loved that scene. Yuuri's team is filled with annoying people and I'm disappointed that he's a shota. I knew that from before, but ye. Couldn't we have another rival female character in this series? Sigh.

Also, Sakurai was very nice this episode. She pissed off glasses just right, lol. What an arrogant guy though, he was annoying me right from the start.

Also, Takeru just got really cool. He's so fast.

I still think Heath best character. Let's see if that changes or not.

Kuga's hot.

I liked the part when that double colored hair guy run. I don't really pay attention to the animation when they run, jump and all that, but this one was great.

Yuri Himemiya. Hates the very sight of Sakurai Nana because of their similar hairstyle.

I still need a YurixNana moment to feel this.

Kuga's voice really doesn't match that of a high school kid's.

Kinda hard to take the drama seriously; that trash talk was awful. A 5 year old could have came up with it yet they were all going mental over it.

Other than that, it was a pretty good race.
It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Eww those checkered pants, way to make a character super annoying. Some random dance track in the background and uhh why isn't this show named "Emotional bishonens running parkour". Why does that one high school guy look like he's 40. Dayumm...
I really like that ending >_> oh lol this show

A pretty satisfactory race. They are putting too much emphasis on the "connection" of emotions and this comes to teasing to some extent.

The match was intense, I loved this episode. It's a little boring that they always speak 4 minutes about connecting, but their feelings were well done. Takeru is so fast.

Although the connecting feelings (basically for our friends) thing is nothing new it fits this anime. Overall it is fun to watch :D

Definitely the best episode yet. I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching Hozumi racing. His parkour style is just so fun to watch compared to everyone else's styles.

Nice insert music during the race as well.

A little heavy on the cheese, though, was really my only issue. We get it, Sakurai. It's about feelings. No need to say it 100 times.

I picked this up for the unique art style and it has been a pleasant surprise so far.

Episode pretty good, although sometimes the behavior of the characters leaves me somewhat appalled, however, the race was exciting, I hope that the Studio Madhouse spend more money in the animation and try to break up less narration during the races. Drawings and animations are quite good overall.
Fujiwara it rocks !

Man all the opponents were incredibly annoying this week.

Both Riku and Nana were way too easily spooked by them, good to see Nana step up her game and determination, now Riku needs to man up

Excellent episode.

All my doubts are gone at this point. This show has so much potential and has been nothing but impressive so far. I'm surprised they managed to squeeze so many teams and characters in such a short amount of time and even develop the ENTIRE main team already. Holy shit.

Also, the idea of Stride sport allows each person on the team to shine and have equal screen time, kinda like Free!'s relay swimming. Except, running allows even more different strategies.

I'll save episode 7 for later tonight!

8/10 for this entire show so far with potential to dip into 9/10 if it goes even beyond.

spotted my now favorite character in this ep, HIMEMIYA YURI!!!
thanks for making a boy so cute that it's simply downright criminal to not make him a girl.
great moves when dealing with the gimmicks too!

That race was intense. Why are their opponents always assholes? Save for that one guy megane-kun tricked into thinking he was running for his sick sister lol.

An effeminate-looking little asshole named HIMEmiya shouldn't be ridiculing others for looking feminine. His hair looks stupid.

Everyone going crazy about the "connecting feelings" thing when thre's so much worse in many shounen shows out there... oh well
Could take a bit more of actually showing the course and the run itself Madhouse but doing well, I'm liking it :3
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

it did feel a bit fairy tale-ish now that you mention that...

I KNOW RIGHT I THOUGHT THE SAME THING.
------
i must say this episode disappointed me a bit. the rival team was like "GRR GONNA BEAT CHU GRRR" and they get utterly reckt. now they're all like "welp, see ya".


i would think so, but they aced this team so hard it's like it never existed lol.

the action was great as always, no complaints there.

however, i'm really not liking the relationer. she doesn't exactly have like a gift for the thing, and if she isn't making accidents on the team she's being completely ignored by them. on top of that she's intimidated by everyone that site next to her in the relationer table and can't keep her mouth shut and her own business to herself. but alas, this is a shoujo directed show, and i'm only here for the action, not plot.

still waiting for bro of riku, who looks and reminds me of zack fair so much.

Once again Riku lost his part because they mentioned his brother. I'm getting really upset on how much they making him not do anything.
