The angel wings thing was retarded as fuck and the S15 driver looked like Kim Jung-un. Really hope that they will skip the ghost apparition part for the anime, but it's probably not going to happen.

Hmm... I'm getting the idea this season won't be on par with the previous ones.. especially the amazing 4th season. Angelic wings? Seriously? I haven't read the manga up to this part so i don't know if it was as gay as in the anime (or if it was there at all). Dont really like the animation style either, everyone looks like a bunch of middle-aged dudes.

The whole wings thing reminded me of Air Gear & how much I hated it, I sure do hope this show stays well clear of that.

Can't wait to see Ryosuke race. But I was getting death flag vibes from this ep. Hope I'm wrong.

The OST during Takumi's race was really nice :)

I don't mind the gutter move or the headlight trick but this whole Fujiwara Zone seems to be a bit of a turn off.

I loved the wings sequence. Absolutely beautiful!


Episodes 7 and 8 have been my favorites so far this season. Racing in that fog would be insane but makes for good entertainment in anime.

As underwhelming as usual, too much time wasted on characters that weren't even properly introduced, lackluster races with a "zone", "wings", and now Ryousuke is going to race against a guy that is set on dying or killing him, almost out of nowhere since we only know a bit about what happened, but at least we might learn more about it now, and I don't expect much, but at least Ryousuke is going to race for the first time in forever.

Takumi won of course, wasn't too hard, only the big boss is left now. Ryosoke will race against that psycho guy now, that seems to have gone crazy after his crush suicided.

Takumi's battle was too low-key to be called one... His opponent basically threw the match with his arrogance.

The elder Takahashi is about to face a spectre from his past. It ought to be a thrilling battle.

Takumi's Zone looked hilarious a bit as lresented during the race.

AE86 with wings looked beautiful, on the other hand.

I wonder who was that kid watching the battle with his mother.

Im hyped for the next episode! It's gonna be Ryousuke vs. Shinigami after all! :D

Man the songs only get more fire with each season.

And Ryosuke vs Grim Reaper should be pretty dope.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

86 vs S15 and the scene with takumi drifting in slow motion while 'get out of my head, get out of my heart' was playing was so cold affff.
the wings tho, bro looked heavenly.

the build-up to ryosuke vs the GTR shinigami race is going really well, that menacing ost at the end was so good.

This is getting interesting for the series Ryousuke back from the dead or will he wound up dead by the grim reaper himself well we'll find out anyways missed the eurobeat that Takumi always delivers and the Fujiwara Zone that people still got smoked on anyways I wonder if his dad has the zone as well would like to see them battle in the road hopefully.

Keisuke and Takumi are smoking everyone so far, it feels kinda rushed but I liked the races.

So we have another genius kid that can see wings in cars, interesting. That whole scene was magestic lol

This shinigami guy is very dense wtf racing to the death, like chill dude. I wanna know moore about his backstory. Let's go Ryousuke!!!! Finnaly we get to see him racing!
