| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm glad they aren't pretending that this is perfectly safe. I wonder if they'll figure out that its Takumi before he shows up with the 86 on saturday? also wondering why he'll miss his date on Sunday (since its pretty clear that he will). starting to think that Mogi's father is also a racer. I hope that the art improves sometime soon, as it is, it sucks so much that its hard to ignore. |
| That hit was really hard infeed. Who really cares since Takumi kicks butt! I also have a feeling that mogi's dad is a racer and had some past with takumis dad, hoping for some big rivalry.=) |
| Loving the techno music during the drifting. Quite the crash at the end. I wonder if he will be alright. |
| COOL! |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| So thats how he trained takumi. He gave him a cup of water and told him not to spill it. |
| Well, he's out of the race. |
 |
| Take me to the sea and I'll show you the goods... That girl will make a fine prostitute all right. And, Boom ! Wonder who will replace him. Someone in an 86 maybe ? :p |
| I'm sure he will break his promise to compete haha |
| Great episode and what a cliffhanger! Really interesting where this is going to! |
 |
| Ah 90s anime girl.. Probably the normal one is just like her, weirdly cute.. I think? xD Dramatic Eurobeat crash music! xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| At certain points these faces from 90s look like some beans xd |
| Guess this show has a thing for cliffhangers. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Itsuki better tone tf down, cause he's really steppin up. Can't believe it's about to take 3 episodes for this dude Takumi to muscle up on some thugs. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I had no idea that the one who drove the 86 would be Takumi himself! I had been thinking that it was going to be a rival and that Takumi was truly clueless on racing/driving. Really nice surprise. Love tuning in to that ending song. |
| From my (limited)understanding is not so weird that a girls addresses herself by her name since Japanese people will use anything except for watashi, but if you don't know that I guess it might come across as forced cuteness, I felt the same way about Mayushii from Steins;Gate. Other than that this anime is amazing, really hooked from this 2 episodes, and really liking the art, there are some times in which, the CG looked amazing, whereas in other instances the show really showed it's age. I think that the best looking CGs are those that don't involve much lightning. |
 |
| So Takumi has been improving his driving skills all this time by trying not to spill a cup of water as he raced making the deliveries. It's nice, and a good explanation/background for his skill. Mogi is also trying to get closer to him again, and it's also nice, but the bit of distasteful fanservice by the stairs wasn't though. And Iketani-senpai was so absorbed in his thoughts that he crashed, I hope the damage wasn't too big. |
 |
| Another cliffhanger... |
 |
| Damn he crashed his car ? I hope he's fine |
 |
| Riding a real car is not a child's play, especially on public roads. I'm glad this anime showed that you can get hurt or even lose your life as well. I feel the car of Akina's ace is wrecked too much and he might be seriously wounded. He won't be able to participate in the race, I believe. Maybe the other group's ace will demand a race with Takumi after seeing identical A86 to the one he lost to not long ago. |
| They still haven't found out who the 86 driver is xD |
 |
i can't wait to see takumi drive...more...moreeee....GIVE ME MOREEE AAAAAA  |
 |
| Very interesting! I cant wait for Takumi to go badass and show off his driving skills!! |
 |
| This time they showed actual footage of Keiichi Tsuchiya drifting on that tv screen. That was a nice touch. |
 |
| LOL what a cliffhanger. Great episode. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Fr he crashed that sucks it’s not much of a cliffhanger hopefully his car won’t be too severely damaged so that he could still complete |
 |
| Takumi driving with the water in a glass was intense The accident D: |
| Another perfect performance of Takumi balancing a cup of water while eurobeat is playing in the background definitely would remember that Cliffhanger of a cliffhanging life Iketani has I don't know if he's even alive but the episode preview spoiled it. |
  |
| holy shit the eurobeat music is fireeee. i love this mysterious build-up to the driver of the 86, that reveal was great as well. also some romantic subplot it seems, interesting. |
 |
| Kids, don't speed and drift. |
 |
| I wonder if that water in a cup training is real. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
