Taking bets on how long the beginners road race is going to take. My guess is the rest of the season. And I will enjoy every episode :buddy:

We're already halfway too. This is confirmed 1-cour isn't it.

Not even close. 39 episodes.

Oh, pfft. We'll get three arcs out of this then, probably.

Despite almost nothing happening, this episode owned.

The hallmark of a good shonen.

Newest episode gives a brief profile on the other two major teams and their notable members.

Character doesn't speak for a season an a half and the first thing out of his mouth:



He actually spoke in the previous episode iirc.

Whereas lighthearted SoL has shoujo-ai undertones (or in rare cases, overtones), Boy's Sports anime has shonen-ai undertones. That's how it always has been and probably how it will always be. It's also the case in any cast that's predominantly one gender or another.

If you follow pro cycling those names are really funny.

I don't think many of us do. What's the joke?

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.

Welcome to sports manga. Would you like to see how they do Basketball?

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!

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

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.
