Mr. Pierre kinda freaks me right the hell out for some reason. Does anyone else react that way or is it just me?

No Yowamushi Pedal, I don't care how hard you try to win a Newberry Book Award this episode, I will not feel sorry for Midosuji when he loses.

What about, that cracked tooth though? Ouch! :(

That I do sympathize with. Nobody deserves that, especially not someone with such great teeth!

Onoda is terrifying.

Good episode. Whoever designed these characters knows how to draw some hosed up looking dudes.

Why back when I took shop class we had to share the one rusty lathe between the ten of us!

And we liked it! *slaps table* We loved it!

That sinking feeling when you realize most of the episode is going to be someone's backstory flashback.

Yeah well gently caress you too buddy. Good story telling can tell us more about Arakita as a character without giving us his life story(that we've already heard). The five minutes spent out of flashback were better than the 15 minutes spent in flashback, and the episode would have been better overall if it hadn't happened.

I'm right.

Because the race is a more interesting way to reveal stuff about Arakita's character than learning literally nothing about him because we already knew he was a disaffected loser who joined the team at ol' Stoneface's insistence, and that they became loyal friends and biking made him a better person.

We knew all of that. I am also not a fan of flashbacks as a story device at all. If this was our first time learning about the guy in this way I wouldn't complain. But we have, so I am.

I like Arakita because he was the first anime i've ever seen who got mad at getting poke instead of bepsi.

Manami is just so into this poo poo. It's great.

It's cool to see Imaizumi finally owning the gently caress out of everyone.

Dude what the gently caress are you talking about? The characters in question are Miki Kanzaki and the girl with pig tails. Y'know, the ones who only show up to explain what's going on, marvel at how cool the main characters are, and imply that the main characters aren't gay. You can do that in a show about girl's sports. If you swapped the genders of all the characters in Yowamushi Pedal, it wouldn't suddenly turn into a harem manga centered around guy-miki.

It probably would actually. Patriarchy yo.

Midousuji is just gross all the time. It's his natural state. It's amazing. :allears:
