| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Hmm, a show about drag racing...interesting. The OP song is kinda catchy I guess Idk much about drag racing but it was entertaining at establishing its ideas. More characters were also introduced than I had expected. The competition in this series also seems healthy with the competitors and their rankings. The two main girls, Megumi and Yuri are kinda fun to watch together. I think this anime has potential. |
 |
| The first episode "exhibition." They introduced the sidecar racing concept and the main characters. I don't find the race idea bad, it has some potential and the physics aren't incoherent. It was an interesting episode, I am going to give it a try. The OP and ED are good. However, I liked the ED more. |
| Certainly a unique set of girls each pair had a completely different personality from the other pairs. And the main girls have a lot to work on. Anyway the thing i was wondering about where the bikes used for training and driving to school, they sounded like 2 stroke engines while the ones used during the race sounded like 4 stroke engines. Is there a reason for the difference? |
| well this is hot.. hot girls everywhere.. looks dangerous as fuck for the person on the side LOL and lol @ them covering the guys face gonna be saying "DAT ASS" alot during this series here come the whiners -___- |
 |
| Can this be? The racing anime I've wanted since Capeta? XD That was a great start, loved the race. My only concern is that, isn't the passenger's role a little too dangerous? Do they even have any safety like that? The girls seem like a fun bunch and their designs are excellent, looking forward to more. |
 |
| Fun start. However, I didn't like how it kept transitioning back and forth between the flashbacks. Coach-kun is player though. Anyway, the teams are pretty interesting, though there were far too many characters so it'll take me a bit to remember them all. Seems we're gonna focus on Megumi and Yuri though. I'm kinda hoping we get a little development for the other teams as well |
    |
| They had to hide the guy's face. This looks interesting and I enjoyed the first episode. |
 |
| No speed limit on the island? Must be quite dangerous to live around there xD |
| I'm not a big fan of Sphere (but I love Miracle shooter, 情熱CONTINUE, 明日への帰り道 and Non Stop Road), but their OP in this anime is phenomenal. Can't wait for release. Same with ED song, that flute <3 Generally OST sounds great too. Very enjoyable characters, can't wait for more. 5/5 start. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| That was a lot of fun! Has potential to be just a fun and relaxing series |
| one thing is bothering me in this game... Theres too many girls and like only 1 guy (We dont even see his face) in a racing anime... Racing is pretty dangerous, so it's strange for me if no boy want to participate in the race at all |
| I like Furina, I love Furina. |
| Really cool that they mentioned the Isle of Man. I'm watching a lot of motorsports so this is something i know of well. The racing isn't bad so far, the cuts to the flashback didn't really bother, was pretty fine with it. Gonna see how this goes, hope it focuses on the actual sport throughout rather than the characters. |
| "Some say that he coached a club of 2 Japanese high school racers on an isolated island, and that God forgot to give him a face. All we know is, he's called the Stig." But yeah, due to flashbacks not a whole lot of racing was shown, and some of the transitions were a little confusing. Let's see if the next episode can provide entertainment even without a race. |
| Boring. The studio should refrain from doing original stuff. Felt like a boring "cute girls doing nothing" with moe + butts in tight suits. + They tried to avoid male characters (censoring the face of the trainer guy and always trying to not have it on screen). I think this is only for people of that special kind of target audience who like any boring stuff as long as there are cute girls in it. (+ the voices are annoying) Tbh I'm a bit surprised (but happy) it is scored low. Thought a lot of people like that stuff. :D |
| This is my first time hearing about this type of sport. I honestly didn't know that such sport exists. Holy crap. I even googled about it and it seems soooo dangerous. Jeez. Glad they already started with the sports event. Good. Good. Haha. Our two MCs are so alike they love to hate each other. Lmfao. |
     "Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out." Captain Levi, 2014 (／^-^)／☆♪  ♪☆＼(^０^＼) |
| Pretty good start, but it felt like they crammed quite a lot of stuff into this first episode. Introducing all the character was fine, but every 1min in the race, there would be a flash back. Overall it felt a little rushed and even confusing at times due the abrupt transitions from the race to a flash back. Anyways, no male characters, all the girls are really cute (especially the teacher haha), what more can i ask for. |
| This has peaked my interest! Didn't know this was a real thing either, and I too had to google it and even pause the episode to watch a youtube video of the sport for real. |
| So far, I can tell that it is a car racing anime which is pretty cool. I don't really like the fact that the MC's don't like each other, like how they knocked each other out at the end. If it's all races, I'll be sticking around for a while! |

dafckingman said: i think its a little like a bobsled how you work together to get around corners quicker by shifting weightThe concept is a little lost on me. What's the point of the "Racer" in the side car? They're just a passenger going along for the ride. All the work is from the main rider. Is the "passenger's" job just to try to be as less of a burden as possible? |
ariel_nugie said: its probably one of those girl only sports like how the tanks in girls und panzer is girl only as if thinking tanks arent cool to boys in that world..one thing is bothering me in this game...

| Tbh imo the whole episode is a big turn-off of the true premise of the drama behind this, well, 3 episode rule. But I want more technical stuff. This is sport anime about racing, so you want technical to a certain degree. (but don't overdo it, ofc.) |
| Not showing the coach's face and sending him off without them confessing XD Nice racing and all the girls are nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) some of them are definitely banging. |
 |
i find it pretty amusing how coach's face was always hidden.Prime example: |
| Actually a quite decent first episode. Not sure what to expect other than racing, but I hope it'll at least stay enjoyable like this episode. |
  |
This is not drag racing. Drag racing is completely different. :) Anywho, episode felt a bit loaded with a lot of stuff. I wouldn't say it was bad, but I don't think it was a very good first episode either. I'll give it more. At least the opening theme from スフィア (Sphere) was amazing as expected. dafckingman said: The concept is a little lost on me. What's the point of the "Racer" in the side car? They're just a passenger going along for the ride. All the work is from the main rider. Is the "passenger's" job just to try to be as less of a burden as possible? Youtube "Sidecar racing" and you'll see this is entirely untrue. The purpose of the passenger is all about shifting weight during the turns. It's science, basically. |

| Smiled so hard throughout this episode. Isle of Man TT is just surreal and probably the most dangerous motor racing event out there today, so seeing this anime is pure bliss! Plus the fanservice, if that's what it's called, is right down my lane too. Damn. Racing suits and skirts looking nice on these ladies! Serious salute to anyone behind or associated with the production of this anime. And another salute to all the motorsports fans out there! |
| So take Valkyrie Drive with all the personalities of the different girls in that series with the partner structure, subtract all the sexual stuff, nudity and fanservice of that series, add Bakuon's atmosphere, make the girls high schoolers, then add a story/conflict about racing and that is basically Two Car. I mean aside from the actual demonstration of the elements of Sidecar Racing in itself, that's literally this show in a nutshell. 3-episode rule it is. Also, nice to know the pair of racers that gave off that "onee-san" vibe are clones of Hotaru and Michiru from Sailor Moon. 6/10 |

| Don't believe the hype. |
| i been waiting for a proper racing anime for ages (with motors) or yoshikawa pedal would've been fine i liked it the girls look cute the sport is sorta interesting haven't seen sidecar racing before but it's still pretty much motogp with the added teamwork of weight transferring etc. also a huge sucker for Tiv art designs so that played a bit role into wanting to see this lol,their old coach is the Stig! |
 |
| Not a terrible start, but I think this show is jumping to the racing too quickly, it should really be establishing the the characters first. Maybe I'll get into it if there's more character development in the next few episodes, but this just felt like nothing happened except a bunch of exposition and background information. |
| They kind of threw us in the deep end here before fleshing out the world and the characters but other anime have done that successfully before in the past I just hope we get more backstory and side story in the next few episodes. I am happy that they dodged the cliche and had these characters introduced as being experienced and always passionate in their sport instead of just stumbling into it halfway through high school/middle school as happens in so many other anime. I liked this first episode so I will give it a chance. |

| Not bad, I guess, maybe a little too rushed,but aside from that fine. Let's see where this is going. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Less cutsie than I thought it would be (a good thing). Unfortunately, it wasn't very exciting... the race. |

I watched a compilation clip and still didn't see the point of the 2nd guy, hence the post. Wouldn't it be faster if there was just 1 guy riding on the bike, Instead of having this guy shift his weight about? The main decision making, acceleration/deceleration and turn are done by the main racer. It still looked like the 2nd man's job is to try to be at least of a burden as possible I don't think so it would allow you to take sharper turns they normal. One person would be faster but I think it is the team effort that is import. I didn't even known sidecar racing existed I guess there is a thrill to it, your basically laying on the edge of a very fast moving bike. 2nd mans job is to not die. |
| Double punch, double KO for to win the race!!! kekeke |
| Hm... lets see... two girls fighting over one guy... they work well together when it counts... they obviously have chemistry between them so... ship fuel right there... now where have I seen this before... oh yeah... now I remember... Korra and Asami I swear this anime is gonna pull a Korrasami at the end |

Is the "passenger's" job just to try to be as less of a burden as possible? His/her job is to maintain the balance. While a normal bike uses inclination in curves, a bike with sidecar can't do so, the passanger has to change the position on the vehicle to keep them on track |

| Absolutely hated it and i didn't even expect much. From the humor to the characters,even the race didn't interest me at all. I won't say i'm disappointed but i wasn't expecting something that bad,instant drop. |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| Ehhh, seems overly cliched in many ways. I'm leaning towards it being bad in the end but I'll postpone judgements until later. |
    |
| It wanted a series that spoke of sidecar. Although not the graphic and technical aspect of this anime series, I enjoyed this first episode. Look forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Decent start, girls side-car racing is interesting, I just realized that it has the same character designer as Masamune-kun no Revenge. Expecting some yuri-bait. |
