Izumida's a filthy liar.

Honestly, though, I'd be rolling my eyes like crazy right now if it wasn't for that line. If you're going to have the characters take twenty minutes to travel four hundred metres, the only way to do it is to while the most bizarre character available monologues about how the race will be over within moments.

At least it didn't take more than three episodes to go the few hundred meters. Also, Frank and Andy are still the best. I wonder which place they took those. Did Frank or Andy come in fourth or fifth? Do they each get medals?

The old team captain was pretty sharp. Plus, does nothing shake up their coach?

This show is wonderful. Is the end of the season coming up, or are they going straight into more episodes?

No idea how long it will run but they have confirmed at least 38 episodes. Which is good, I'd hate for it to go on break when they're finally in the Inter High!

Anyway, all that all those other cyclists are going to see is a yellow blur screaming the Love-Hime theme song. It's going to be incredible.

Oh come on, this is Onoda's first official race against the top talent in his age group. There was absolutely no need to artificially raise the stakes like this.

I guess it could end up working well but shounen stuff pulling the same old tricks like this when it isn't even kind of necessary gets real drat tiresome.

Oh no, Onoda! :ohdear:

I have no doubt that he'll kick it into psychotic Love Hina overdrive, like every other time he's been down

Seriously such a good series. The inter high race will be thirty episodes I'm sure. Is there a regular update schedule?

Goddamn this episode!

I was serious anticipating Onoda's climb to reach the rest of the team this episode. Instead we have a build up.

Next episode needs to come sooner!

I watch all Midousuji's scenes with this uncontrollable rictus frozen on my face and I don't know if it's from joy or uncomprehending horror.

You know he's evil because the shonen spirit BURNS HIM

Dan7el

He's like a giant spider. Plus, he eats bugs. That alone is proof positive he's evil and creepy. There's nothing creepier than a bug eater on a bike.

I was just surprised at how quickly Onoda brushed off the creep factor, regained his focus, and blasted past the creep. Although, it was kind of funny. Onoda's like, "I should be bothered by this guy, right? Naaah." (pedals faster). Massive build up for little effect, I think. I hope there is more destruction caused by this creep later on or I'll be disappointed.

I miss Frank and Andy....

This weeks episode is up! It was perfect. I mean, they stretched way longer than should work and it was stupid as hell, but god it was really just about the perfect combination of rival love and hate. It was funny and gay and basically the best.

This may very well be the most shounen loving show I've ever seen. I love it. :allears: I assume Midousuji is going to show up in this next stretch of battles, and I can't wait.

Steven doesn't want me watching him sleep anymore.
They mentioned going for the finish line in this episode - that's just the goal line for this day of the race, right? It's a multi-day race? How's that going to work, is it like qualifying for a starting position for the next day of the race? Or do they just add up the times, and you could actually finish first on the final day but still lose the race because you were too slow on previous legs?

paragon1

Yeah, I'm guessing that's how it'll work.

I'm guessing Midousuji is just going to focus on staying ahead of the pack while letting the leaders exhaust themselves, and then he'll pour on the gas on the last day.

Dan7el
Dec 7, 2008

As long as Frank and Andy are in the running, I'm good. You had to know the green-haired climber wouldn't win this segment. If he did, then it would be 2-0 our hero's school over the "bad guys" school. There would be no dramatic tension, and we'd want to watch something else next week.

The post-credits scene was pretty funny too.

I think Midosuji's making a tactical error here. He'll show up unexpectedly behind Kinjou and Fuku, and they'll both scream hysterically and spontaneously increase their cadence by 300 rpm.
