Rin doesn't remember the rules and she doesn't remember the names of her opponents well it let to some nice things.
Hopefully she will have learned the rules before the next race else it will be embarrassing for her again.
Anyway it seems she didn't manage to pull of her manoeuvre a second time.
But she is still practising so who knows what she is capable of ones she completes her training, she will have to practice after that as well tho.

Wow Rin not only does not really know the rules but she didn't realise she was speaking to and driving on the simulator with the Queen Alice summerwood herself. Rin really needs to remember the names and faces of those she is competing with.

Not much good as a racing anime, I’m just hoping the characters get interesting to give it something worth watching. At least they’re cute…

This show comes after the broadcast of "Girls band cry" in my region. Apparently, the character design of this show looks like made of plastic, but the animation is more natural than the other.

Man, I just want to say the OP is kinda awful. It feels like a song written for vocaloid which might've turned out ok, but instead they forced a singer to just wing it. The tune is all over the place in multiple parts and made the song quite messy as a whole.

I tried, I swear I tried, but an anime based on car racing, where the protagonist doesn't know the basic rules and now doesn't recognize the contestants? And not just any one, the second most famous in the competition. Apart from the animation being very weak, to be honest there is no condition to continue watching, after this episode I am dropping, because I can no longer stand the old formula of the dumb protagonist who is portrayed as someone forgotten or with a fertile imagination. There's better anime to watch. My recommendation? Drop, this anime is terrifying!

All I can say is that Rin Rindou is a clueless idiot for not realizing Queen Alice Summerwood's legit racing skills.

Personally i'm not taking this show seriously and i don't care about F1, so maybe that's why i'm actually finding it fun. The episodes feel a bit too short on content for me though. I feel like we've only seen 1.5 episodes instead of 3. Given the pace so far i feel like this really should be more than 20 episodes.

Stupid character in a race anime where you need to use your brain is not gonna work. She doesn’t know the rules, doesn’t know the names, not even the second best driver ,s he is bot great driver she just get lucky one time and anime wants me to believe she some kind of genius. Rin is boring and stupid mc , make an anime about Queen and how she try to become first is better idea

Rin may have been a total beginner, but for her to capture the attention of the Queen, Alice Summerwood, there is a semblance of interest.

Rin's training alongside her ballet friend Hikari, she's completely unaware of Alice's position, and instead took her to her restaurant for some monjayaki. Alice asking Rin about how the race went, and Rin clearly just went on her own accord, aside from a stimulation race that finally puts her in the know about the Queen...albeit with assumptions. And Alice wanting her to replicate how Rin managed to outlast the King in the previous race, she managed to do it, but with a lesser success. Despite that, Alice wanting to recruit Rin into her team, she'd rather stand with her own team.

Still though, if Rin can get past Alice's Shield of Richard Parker, that's how she can raise her reputation. A long way to go, but Rin's prowess is just getting started.

the irony of this anime, making me enjoy it 10x more when we don't focus on the races too much lol
i don't usually look at the animation/art much but i noticed this episode looked a lot better as well

kinda unexpected that she doesn't even know how the top 2 racers look but i guess that's fine, her airhead personality is fun to watch anyway
the queen is also very fun to watch, i like gyaru types, and she likes to tease others

after the terrible 1st episode and decent 2nd episode, this 3rd one actually was enjoyable... so now i'm confused lol this anime was at the bottom of my seasonals after the 1st 2 episodes but now i kinda wanna keep watching it... uff i need to decide which ones i can drop haha
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)

@LightningC04 so you know nothing about Mizuki Nana's singing style, just watch the Lyrical Nanoha series and listen to the OPs, the movie EDs, etc she is an absolute legend you know.

@KiraraFan So you are a fan. Got it. I'm well aware of her reputation as a singer and VA. All I'm saying is that this particular song is a bit messy. But hey if you claim that's just her singing style and it's what you love about it then more power to you. But I'm not a fan.

This episode spent like half of the time outside of racing for once, but it still left a few questions unanswered for me. Like why doesn't anybody inform Rin the rules of racing now before her debut? Why doesn't she get better racing tips instead of focusing on her weight like it matters really... plus I love how nobody told her who Alice Summerwood is? Like was she was suppose to recognize all the racers faces from the start or what?

The AI car still questions me, but you know at least she informs her heart rate and brain waves (thanks?) and at least gave her a countdown when to use her Boost when Rin asks her too, but the Ai will still give her the hard cold truth when she needs to.

I love how every racer kind of makes a big deal with what Rin did in the race. Even though it was against the rules to do that, but idk, maybe there's something they see that I don't. Cuz yes she surpassed King with the boost thing, but not really though cuz she was so far behind. So if anything they already lapped her but again idk.

Still getting sips of flashback when she used to be a dancer, but it never expanded on that yet, nor why she wants to really race expect make someone proud, BUT WHO?

Anyways this was an alright episode so will see where she goes from here in her next race. I think this anime needs to expand on their story more for me to understand these characters and their purpose as to what Rin's actual goal is. To be #1 than the rest of the racers or what? Hopefully they'll give more details while making more of the races a bit interesting or something down the line.

Btw is this the first time I see the ED? because I thought it was shown before, but maybe that was the OP for like 2 episodes ago, but whatever, there's nothing much too it really.
