legit spent the entire season/2 cours on day 2, barely even got to day 3 after 25 episodes.. god damn. They give way too much screentime to Kyoto Fushimi who I, to be honest, dgaf about.. Contrary to many people, I actually like Hakone quite a bit, and actually cheered for them to win a lot of checkpoints, so I don't mind them actually winning something.

Weaker than previous season, focused far too much on the competition and less on the characters, which is the best part of any sports anime. It was a missed opportunity to cut the training camp short last season imo.

Still would love to have another season. I think Sohoku will win this year and lose next year's interhigh, or at least I hope so. The team desperately needs to be respected, as they barely get any press despite being last year's champion. Hakone will come back stronger next year to claim back their throne.

I am sorry Sohoku, all of you guys are awesome but I still prefer Midousuji.
The final day starts, now we have to wait for the next season.

I think the manga haven't finish the last day. Honestly, even if Sohoku is the main team, but I wish another team win the race, HakoGaku or KyoFushi. I mean, most of (or every) anime sport I have watched, the main team lose one time, but I know for YowaPeda it's different cause it take them 2 seasons for one competition...

And Manami is late for the last day lol...

I believe I understand what you want to say but...
As long as Shohoku does not win 41th, 42th, 43th (3 consecutive victory) inter highs then the whole story became meaningless (saying worthless doesn't feel right), we know first line from Junta:
"One win is fluke" but if they win
Two wins are challenge,
Three wins are champion (kings or legend) kinda thing...
If Shohoku lost this one but win 43th, they can not erase the lost so the whole story lost its meaning. We know Kinjou try to create a strong team and we saw the Hakone's cheat like win at 40th (also injured Kinjou) so what I see from Shohoku at 41th and 42th interhigh is to create team's main aspects for future. I expect to see a more composed, systematic, determined and fear instilling Shohoku for43th inter-high if happens. Also if Author let Hakone wins because Minami needs to win kinda thing then he self destructs his own story (All 6 Shohoku are main).

And I do not like Hakone because they are not strong (just arrogant) and Shohoku just unlucky because of plot,they won because of that ("there is nothing certain in Road Races" but this rule only applies seems to be just for Shohoku :)
1st day sprint thanks to Kaburagi
1st day mountain thanks to Onoda stuck and Junta fair play
1st day goal thanks to Imaizumi and Naruko pull at mountain (tired themselves)
2nd day all goes for Kaburagi the showoff (they lost Aoyagi too for flats)

ps: I expect an ending where Minami, Onoda and Midausuji goes for same University :)

Since the 3rd day is completed in the manga already, we can probably expect Season 5 announcement in the fall.

I cannot believe they just left us hanging like that!

I mean all this episode focused on was a slight recap by Sakamichi, reminiscing and pumping up himself as usual. Damn, they sucked on this inter high, it's the third day but they haven't won shit from the tournament. I guess it makes sense since they are being led by a weak captain Teshima, that guy's strategies never worked at all and only set them back. No wonder Imaizumi was upset at him at one point because of his strategies, damn he should've learned a lot from Kinjou. Sakamichi didn't have that shine he had on the previous inter high, he didn't even compete a single climb competition from those two days. Manami won the first and Akishiba won the second one, what kind of previous champ shows such a mediocre display. He kinda took the role of a back character, and I'm still saddened by the fact that he didn't get to race Manami.

The only person who showed initiative on the Sohoku team was Naruko, he reached second place on the 1st day and was trying so hard to win, he only got held back by his teammates for me. Imaizumi did place second on the second day, but I don't feel any frustration from him or any kind of motivation. I gotta give it to Izumida for building such an amazingly strong team, his team only lost one race! I'm glad though Midousuji won the second race, that is one strong bastard. I like that he takes the third day serious, judging by those shaves, hell, even that crazy creep Kishigami shaved!

Overall I felt this was repetitive in some way, from the previous inter high events. It also became tedious at some points, Kaburagi was also an annoyance. The animation wasn't up to standard at some point. It focused too much on the touchy feely stuff too much, and Kishigami was a hentai. But I liked the development of characters though, they kinda gave characters a platform to shine with all those back stories. They made us care and kinda root for them to win. But even that followed a certain pattern on the execution.

But it's been a year and no season 5, wow! I guess maybe next year.

7/10.

GIVE ME S5 WTF i mean it's good that it still continues in the manga after thinking it was literally the end of the series with all those flashbacks and yowapeda logo at the end but another cliffhanger is what i waited for after months of waiting for it to be on netflix??? bruhhh they better make a s5 pls god they make a lot of merch but not s5 da hecc

abt the episode tho it was very cute for onoda to be seen with imaizumi at the end when imaizumi was the first charac onoda met iirc. that's also one of the reasons i thought it was the end lol anyway. it's basically just an intro and i just wanna know the grand winner man hahah and see manami onoda match. i first thought they'd cover the whole last day with one ep and then i thought it was gonna be on the next season and then i thought it was the end hahah i just wanna know the winner

YowaPeda got some issues with ending seasons on huge cliffhangers (especially since this season is misleadingly called Glory Line). These last two seasons have been going downhill in my opinion with the asspull win at day 1, most races not up to par with the first Inter-High and how weak Sohoku has become with them mostly catching up after getting left behind instead of actually racing it out. Still hope that a new season comes to finish day 3.

Let's see... this was released last 2018.

I can't believe I waited for 4 and a half years for the 5th season, for the last day of Interhigh. Wow... time races like Onoda climbs mountains!

The gap is too big I had to watch from the start. This gap made me see more flaws from this anime. And I guess, in the end, I'm fine with the flaws. There are some great moments, even if most of them are not Interhigh scenes. I wish this was better tho. Anyway, I forgot a lot of stuff that the only thing I remember was being disappointed of the fact that Sohoku hadn't won anything in the past 2 seasons yet.

I'm off to the 5th season now (which is ongoing with 8 episodes). Wishing for Sohoku to win the third day, to have 2 consecutive wins in Interhigh, or else I'd regret watching and re-watching this anime at all. TvT


Btw my boi Komari also shaved his head. I'm so scared he'll be creepier than before. I could bear with his creepiness because at least he kinda looked pretty with his hair. :')

Too bad they didn't win any race this season but at least they were consistent in being the runner-up.

So emotional. Last chapter of this season! I'm so excited for what's going to come and at the same time sad because we had left something behind.
I was literally yelling because all of the memories they put at the end. I know the next season is gonna be awesome too but at the same time it's the last that has been upoload so... I'll wait a little until they start airing out the new chapters of the new season.
Aaaaaa! I can't wait!
