Looks like Volume 16 was just translated. FRIENDSHIP. And they were nice enough to translate the author's notes this time, so that's cool -- you can see the "Making of" Yowapeda! Originally it seems that the main character was supposed to be a girl, I think it'd have been cool to see that too.

Kinjou just loves his shades huh? Also, Tadokoro seems to be using an eyeguard in the bath.

Putting all that much thought into how the character's wash their hair is so anime it's literally painful.

I did wonder whether that was just a "man he's really trying super hard and it sure is rough" scene, or a "we should really be worried 'cause he might be giving himself a serious medical problem" scene.

I'm thinking he might be suffering from heat exhaustion which can lead to heat stroke, which is often fatal. Vomiting and weakness in the limbs are warning signs for that sort of thing.

I would be beyond blown away if this show turns from shounen sports anime into bleak depression tragedy at the death of their teammate. It'd be one hell of an amazing swerve.

I think at most he's going to collapse in the middle of the race and Naruko has to take over

Midosuji- a terrifying, inhuman, potentially demonic being who's greatest ambition is to utterly dominate....a boys' high school cycling invitational(?) Also- I can't imagine Tadokoro dying. Not on this show. Worst case scenario, he gets heat stroke, collapses, can't race, and it's up to the first-years and their burning spirit to pick up the slack and carry the team to the win.

Are we gonna have the whole team sing the Hime song at this point? Tadokoro's already roped in and Imaizumi probably already does it in secret.

Oh my god that was incredible. This is everything I thought the show would turn out to be when it first started. I spent the entire time Onada and Tadakoro were singing Hime Hime laughing until my sides hurt. Beautiful. Tuna mayo tuna mayo tuna mayo tuna mayo tuna mayo tuna mayo tuna mayo

I'm up to ep 29, and I just love this show and all of its homoeroticness. Also Midousuji's creepiness creeps me out and I want to see more of his character because of it. GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS GROSS

Been flying through this show the past couple days, I think I'm on 9 or 10 right now. This is really a fun show. I think the most involved I've been in a sports manga/anime was something like 50 chapters of eyeshield but this show is really keeping me interested.

I haven't watched any anime since I was 16, but I recently rediscovered biking, found a jersey of the Sohoku team online, made research and found Yowamushi Pedal. The story is nice, the characters are great (favorite being Makishima), the animation looks really cool... It's really fun to watch

This is one of my top anime I've seen. I like the fact that both the hot headed and the cool headed characters aren't the main character, but instead of having big rivalry with the main character both believe in him and want to support him. The whole mechanics of the team seem a lot more interesting to me than most sports anime. Also the Hime song is hilarious. Watching Onoda pass up everyone while singing it was great.

I thought the leading love triangle in this show was Onoda, Imaizumi, and Naruko, but actually it's Izumida, Andy, and Frank.

He's an amazing sprinter, he's an amazing climber, he's the ace, he's a tactician, he can plan down to the second in hour + long races... it's boring. If he didn't act so loving crazy, he'd be one of the most boring villains ever. Meanwhile, I really like the Hakon team as villains, because they're another team, in a team sport.

I have hope we're about to learn more about him, he was saying something in the latest episode about "carrying a heavier burden" than the bunny-sprinter dude. Sounds like he may have some actual character issues other than just being cartoonishly crazy/evil.

I hope they do something to balance him out because right now, Midousuji is one of the worst parts of this race and it feels like it should have strictly been Hakone vs Sohoku.

Attention, fellow biking comrades! May this song give you strength -- the strength it takes to climb every hill and race down every slope!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TbGLHo18hs -- by the way, next time Zorak does an ADTRW Karaoke singathon we should totally suggest this!  EDIT: Of course, it isn't quite the same without Onoda singing enthusiastically and off-key. DrSunshine fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Jun 18, 2014 |

This continues to be the best show about best bros, and the scene where the team was reunited was fantastic That said, I agree that Midousuji is boring as hell. He's entertaining as a weird rear end in a top hat, but having him be the best at everything and pulling bullshit out of nowhere (that finish) is not doing anything for me. I don't even hate it, it's just a "Yes, yes, of course he did. Can we get back to someone interesting?" reaction.

Maybe it wasn't meant that way, but I think that's part of what makes him a good villain. He's a hyper-competitive dude with no scruples. Everything is creepy, awkward, unpleasant and unfun when he's around, he even fucks up the plotlines!

I like him because he makes a good heel to root against, and provides the story with alternative methods to winning races that our honorable rival teams wouldn't stoop to like really really personal psychological attacks. I don't watch the anime but in the manga his faces are gold. It's not like you won't get the inevitable battle between the two teams that really matter, it'll be fun to see them go against someone else first.

One season down, show returns in the fall. Kind of funny how they tried to turn this episode into a season finale despite literally two thing happening, but that's par for the course.
