I'm glad Riku got over his inferiority complex but... Wasn't that scene a bit exaggerated?

Well, insecurities are insecurities because you exaggerate them to the point that you can't get over them; but they appear exaggerated to everyone but you. The show needs to show that exaggeration, so it gave just the right gravitas to Riku's inferiority complex.


That's how you answer a question; great job!

well said & i completely agree!

i'm wondering why this series didn't get as much attention with its star-studded voice cast, great art & sound direction. the pacing is great & overall pretty enjoyable, isn't terrible as a sports anime. also is their "stride" sport THAT difficult to understand - many people take issue with this just solely because they didn't understand the sport. also any form of fanservice in this is soooo tamed as compared to other all-male sports anime i've seen. i mean sure on a whole it's nothing innovative, but that score is pretty harsh methinks.

anyway, this episode was great! loved the cinematography & OST







but i’ll probably remember over and over again
you were there and everyone else was there
