Next week is either going to be a huge cliffhanger or it's going to rush the ending of the race. Either way I'm not so pleased. They did a good job with this part though.

Also the new character is an jerk, be prepared.

I am 1000% stoked for Love Hime Season 2. STOKED. new OP?

This episode was difficult to watch. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it was very negative. I'm not used to Yowapeda stewing in this much negativity.

Imaizumi though. Gambare. <3

Next week, next weeeeeek~

Yep, this episode had a different feel compared to the others... but I think that it was still important to include it. Especially in sports anime, I love getting to know the opposite teams (although I was yearning for some Shohoku).
Can't wait for the last episode; I wonder how they're gonna cut it off (show down at the finish line at the end of the 2nd day?? or a massive cliffhanger?? geez lil bit of suspense there)

A new character mentioned for the S2 I guess.
Midousuji being a dick as always is hilarious.

So nothing for Souhoku? They will end with Kyoto Fushimi and Hakogaku?

I guess you like Kuroko - it's the same story. Bunch of random first years joined top schools and became aces in no time. Midosouji is like Generation of Miracles in KnB - a genius.

I loled when after a whole episode of Fukutomi being presented as an asshole who abandoned his team, he just said: "We never had any dead weight."
"There's no shame in falling down... true shame is to not stand up again!"

"Aah? Of course I won't miss!"

"My blood tastes like Iron."

"Run through the tape in life! Never give up! Run through the tape!"

Oh god, how I hate Midousuji... He pisses me off. Anyway, season II will have another character who is kind of crazy? I don't know, that would be bad for my nerves. Where's Sohoku btw lol.

I said it before, I will say it again, somebody please push Midousuji off a fvcking cliff. And if you don't want to kill the character, at least spread his a-hole-ness across more episodes. 15-20 minutes of Midousuji bragging and towntalking everyone is just too damn unbearable.

Can't wait for the episode in season 2 when we will get his backstory and everyone will be expected to go "Oh, he had a troublesome past, no wonder he turned out that way, I now feel sorry for him", should be hilarious.

There goes Midousuji again, discouraging and destroying everyone's will to ride.
Really starting to like Hakone's team spirit and how they have each others back.
I really want to see Midousuji lose, no matter what the team.
Also, Souhoku needs more screen time :c

Getting real tired of Midosuji's creepy face and asshole attitude. My favorite part of the episode was the end clip, it's funny to see how much of a fan Imaizumi has become of Love Hime.

I hope the final end clip is Onoda, Taura, and Imaizumi all singing the theme song lol.

As someone who has read the manga I can tell you that is not the case at all. He is a character who appears in the 3rd day of the interhigh.

The love hime season 2 thing was a joke though.

It looks like Midousuji wants to ruin the show, not winning the Interhigh, he seriously talks too much, also his body movement is ridiculous, nobody can ride a bike at high speed in such a way. He is not believable in the least, just a psycho clown from outer space. A shame this good show has to rely on such an over the top villain.

Midousuji might be a really bad antagonist of the show but you guyz don't realize what he is pulling off with such ease.

In the first day he was in the pack controlling the masses and then he unleashed himself like a bullet and not only caught up with the 2 strongest teams of the InterHigh but also almost won the first day by finishing in the same time as the aces of Sohoku and Hakone all by himself(!). He didn't have an assistant to pace him or push him before the finale and he still (almost) beat them. Then the 2nd day, he fought against Hakone's strongest sprinter, he won the sprint race then he still had the power to continue racing (unlike Shinkai who was so tired he barely kept up with the team) and all that while planning and lowering the enemy team's morale. Also, don't forget he won the king of mountain tag as well by forcing the Hakone's Mountain god to protect and pace their ace.

Strategy, morale control, crowd control and performance, all from a first year road racer!

He is outragously despicable for all the crap he is pulling and sure he will lose in the next episode because he didn't calculate some stuff correctly but he is still the strongest racer so far in the Inter High.

Midousuji just shut up! This is a sport anime, not who says more bullshit in one episode!

WAY TOO much talking in this show to the point that it is hard to watch -_-

And now that Midousuji is one of main characters, it gets worse with every episode... just crush him and make shut it.

Fukutomi actually had me worried for a while. It seems like their fall back was planned, but then why was Izumida so worried?

Either way, between Izumida and Ishigaki I was starting to be an emotional wreck lmao

Officially fuck this shit. Midousuji is getting really annoying now, I don't care what backstory he has, he could get butt-raped by apes, get his whole family killed by aliens and I couldn't careless, I still won't feel sorry for him. He is ruining the show for me.

Izumida being scared that sprinters are left behind :( I kinda knew that Midosouji will abandon his teammates, but damn he just ditched his sprinters, that made Izumida really worried. Shinkai is not so is tired he is more down from his loss earlier, that's why his head is down. Those 4 will catch up anyway, think they did in the end already. Hakone's ace simply abandoned them because he didn't want to let Midosouji get his way, he wants to follow them. and he kinda trusts his team to catch up. Midosouji you bastard if you really thought that Fukutomi is like you.

I understand how tough it was for Toudou not to race for a climb win, but he can't abandon his ace... Poor Toudou.
I love to see more Ishigaki thoughts, he is a nice guy, he wants to work as a team, just like Kinjou help his team members in difficult times, he really is jealous of Hakone's team when he saw them.4 veteran friends and 2 new guys all look like friendly team. But he admits that it's nice to win and he might be in the wrong as Midosouji's plans seem to work out all the time and now they are winning, but i understand that it's not kind of win he wanted. I don't think i would love to win this way to be honest, like what's the point, you get emotional after your wins and you want to cheer, but your psycho captain wants none of it. Also the feel when you win as a team is incredible, but he doesn't really feel like a team.

Midousuji has been entertaining despite all my frustrations at him, but I just can't like him because of how tryhard his character writing is and how blatantly overpowered he is. Fukutomi may not be the best at expressing himself, but he's steadfast in leading by example and his members are all strong enough to understand what he wants and not give up. "We have no dead weight to begin with." <3

I really want to punch the face of that creepy guy!
Ishigaki is nice, but letting that creepy guy join them makes him on the bad side. The only villain I hate in anime is this creepy guy, he doesn't have redeeming quality! It's so annoying to always see his face!!
Victory is nothing when you loss your friends, being greedy and want to always win is not good at all.

Yo these two guys left behind looked they were brutally raped lmao

Nice internal monologue from Kyotos former captain, Ishigaki. Lol @ Mizuta. How he's looking for approval is sad.

Midousuji still fucking with others, but it's really uncanny how he doesn't seem to have even a shred of symphaty. Tho people that are "hard to get to" have their own appeal.

Got some real goosebumps there at the end even though I already expected the rest of Hakone team to pull up behind Fukutomi knowing that he doesn't see any member as deadweight
