I can't believe the left it hanging there for 3 months.

Good episode. Less Midousuji meant good episode. Now that Sohoko is back on scene it was actually enjoyable.

10/10.

Loved this.

I think the characters were the BEST part of the whole anime and those characters past and flashbacks C:

38 episodes and they are still in that inter-high thing, I won't be suprise if season would still be set in that inter-high shit?

Frankly this anime is pissing me off.


So, I'm giving a low score

I would love to hate this ending, but honestly it was so intense! I don't think I can wait until October for the second season!
I only started to watch this anime a few days ago, but I go hooked! Am I the only one who had a mini freak-out when it just ended like that? Honestly, 5 more minutes!

Great show, but really, you should have ended the race at least guys. 3 months can't come quick enough for me :3

No, I honestly freaked out a bit too. I was like "No! this cannot be the end", still, this was a really awesome show none the less.

awful ending to an otherwise great anime.. 9/10

midousuji and the second stage of the interhigh really ruined my enjoyment of the show as a whole, could've easily been a 10/10 for me.

Cliffhanger ending, that's never a good idea. In 3 months time the build up is lost so it''s pretty stupid they didn't finish day 2. Anyway, the episode itself was great and so was this first season. I hope the 3rd day will finally have a true Onoda vs Manami moment.

Ehhhhhh, they seriously ended it right before the conclusion. Kinda disappointed we can't see who won the second day. Anime overall was pretty good. Just didn't like how Midousuji got so much screen time since it was basically him being overconfident all the time.

I knew they'd either end on a cliffhanger or rush the end of the race. This cliffhanger was even weaker than I imagined but it also didn't really have any good spot to end on.

To those annoyed, there's no way they could have adapted the rest of the race without another episode or two. Also spoiler alert in the end clip.....

Pretty good adaptation so far though. I do think the anime has been cheesier than the manga (the manga is a lot more intense and harsh. I personally prefer the art in it more). The 3rd day is incredible though so will be neat to see it adapted.

Kinjou pulled the team earlier and is now pulling Imaizumi, looks like Fukutomi won't have the rival he'd expect on this sprint for the 2nd day goal.

Can't wait for second season. Solid 8/10

I really really loved Yowamushi when it was still in 2013, still really love the Sohoku chemistry and their rivalry with Hakone, but Midousuji really did a disservice to me (and some of the weird moves too...)

Would they have ended this second day if they skipped the OP&ED? It won't, isn't it? That's a shame...:/

Everything's ending on cliffhangers these days. Not fun.

Same here. Things like Shinkai with his tongue hanging out and screeching threw me for a loop.
Especially since I considered this a more laid-back series but I guess I should have done my homework...


For me it went from amazing/great territory to good/kind of good territory during the course of 38 episodes.
The first episodes were amazing.


Still looking forward to season two. Hopefully this Inter-high finishes up fast.

And people thought NGNL was bad. This didn't even feel like an ending Lol
I had a feeling the pacing was bad (500m sprint for 2 episodes!?) but I wasn't expecting it it be this bad ;_; Nonetheless, the show overallwas enjoyable

I don't understand the last scene of the chapter. I thought that it was some kind of future scenario, but Onoda has the same number, so it has to be in this Interhigh.

I am quite sure it will be a scene of the third Interhigh day. Could be a little spoiler, but just look at Midousuji's number tags, should make it clear.

Well WASN'T THAT a TEASE! *(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻* Sasuga Yowapeda.

Great buildup to the end. And yaaaaaay more Manami! I've been desirous of our angelic rival in the limelight, and there he is! Do-S, Do-M, and everything in between. (*´艸`*) www

Love, too, how Onoda is just barely hanging in there. Yowapeda will never be realistic -- too much freakery for this freak show ♥ -- but a sense of equivalent exchange is all I could ask for.

GOD DAMN IT. CLIFFHANGER. REALLY?! Gonna read the manga sometime later and I'll read up to that point lolol

See you in October, blessed Yowapeda. 8/10 (still deciding if it's a 9) It was really good from the start but I felt like it kind of got a bit worse near the end. When I say "a bit", I really don't mean a lot but it lost its sports anime charm from before. I think the other characters like Hakone or even Midosuji (although we haven't even had his backstory ep yet) made the show not as strong as before. None the less, it was still great overall.

It had the mood of a season finale. Ending on a good note, while not rushing through to get to the end of the second day.
8.25/10 for this season.

I hope the next season will also be 38 episodes. I, for some reason, want Kyoto Fushimi to win the Inter-high, though I know it probably won't happen. It's fun to root for the villain sometimes.

Never read the manga, but I have enjoyed Over Drive manga a lot, so I was looking forward to this show when it first started being a similar sport anime, and it had a decent start, but the training and whole race was just boring. This is probably one of the most boring sports animes I've seen, wish I could of enjoyed it like a lot of people here did, but it just bored me and now an ending that gives nothing back to the viewers support...

I don't know how people can expect them to end the second day in such a short amount of episodes. It was pretty obvious S1 was going to end like this.

Anyway, I loved the ending. Sohoku's friendship teamwork brought tears to my eyes as usual. Fukutomi's face had me in fits of laughter. But Midousuji's reaction was the best. Looks like he's getting serious now.

Kinjou's pulling Imaizumi? Looks like we're gonna see Fukutomi vs Imaizumi vs Midousuji. I really hope Imaizumi beats Fukutomi. And I hope Onoda wins on the 3rd day.

And most of all, I really hope Shinkai kicks Midousuji's ass at the finish line. Ka-pow!

Who ends the season that way? 'Pedal' is disappointing in this way.

Look how 'Ping Pong' has ended (ok, not the season, but what an ending!) - excellent - that's the best sport (and maybe overall) anime of the season/year!

Is that so?
Have you forgotten about:
- Ping Pong
- Initial D final stage
- Hajime no Ippo: Rising
just to name a few from the similar genre.
