This show is so amusing. Everyone and all the tricks are over the top. I love it.

Poor Miya. His talent made his (ex)friends mad jealous. At least, he will have new friends now.

Honestly I didn't expect Langa to win so I'm very happy hehe.

Another great episode, Miya vs Langa was amazing and maybe even better than Joker vs Langa.

Looks like DIO and Reki are about to go head to head, interesting stuff.

Such a good episode! This anime got me hooked already, for real

Also I don't know why but everytime I see Adam I expect his voice to be Miyano Mamoru's actually lol I think it would fit so well with his character too

The power of friendship won the race! Long board saved the day, skating ala snowboarder crushed Miya vision, and grinding with that rotating slider. Man, that's a huge, what a fantastic idea, Reki! The way Ranga learnt much from his mistake paid good and blasted off that cheeky brat, Miya. Now that boy got a good lesson from mr slime that its wrong to be so annoying. The additional friends, moreover its a fuckin cat-boyyah, will make this show surely more colorful. Thats good enough until Adam the saiyan took the initiatives role against our little rookie. Yeah! Another race again, boys?

Also, i can't help but feels good with all of the dynamics within a several side characters. Their commentary surely bring more interest to watch this show until the end.....

Fantastic episode. I like that more depth has officially been applied into the story combined with the already gorgeous visuals.

And now with Dio here things are only gonna get better.

Yeah that's understandable. Both Koyasu Takehito and the legendary Miyano Mamoru are great at voicing eccentric characters.

This series is great. And it is getting greater every week !
the animation, especially the skateboarding race scenes were really well-made. Never disappoints so far.
Now the blue-haired boss guy appeared ,we will see what the deal is with this guy.

Langa has really shined until now, I think it is time to leave the stage to Reki. Let the boy show his skills from now on.

This show gets more captivating with each episode. There were so many jaw dropping moments during the Langa vs Miya match.

I genuinely have a lot of fun watching this show. The Adam tease at the end too was super cool! I'm excited to see what role he'll play as the show progresses.

chinen is really cool and that race was nice af. langa's new board is so cool, and that one flip he did in the air looked so sick. also, was that another intial d reference in the race when chinen used the gutter thing lol? or maybe im just imagining it; surprised nobody has mentioned it though. that adam at the end kinda pissing me off though, seems like another hisoka-type character...

Very well everything, as entertainment works, Bones is clear, at the level of a work it falls short, but if you want to simply enjoy Skate, this is your anime, the race is very good and I like the fact that Langa follows falling, because that's the way it is in real life, you don't learn from one week to another, or from one month to another. Very well.

This is very silly, but they're having fun, and so am I watching :D

I'm still not quite sure why they have a flag girl as well as the green lights, but sure.

I also enjoyed the contrast between Cherry Blossom and Joe(?)'s fangirls.

As for the race prize, I'd go this way...

So Miya challenges Lagna to a race to prove that Lagna's race against Shadow was just a fluke. Poor Miya, his talent drove away his friends because they were jealous and he kinda lost his passion for skateboarding and it was no longer fun for him. Meanwhile, Reiki makes a new board for Lagna that gives him the same control as he was still snowboarding. Adam decides to make an appearance giving off Dio/Hisoka vibes and he seems to be interested in Lagna, but Reki decides to challenge Adam for not taking back what he said about Miya after he lost the race.

I'm a bit bothered by all the inaccuracies and stuff, but it was a fun watch nonetheless.

Just to name a few of the inaccuracies:
- grinding would definitively slow you down massively, even if the curb is waxed
- a maple skateboard would absolutely break in half hitting the tree like that
- rotating shopping cart truck/wheels is absolute suicide. I guess he could've used springs or something to limit the rotation, but that would still be damn near impossible to control and still nothing like snowboarding. The plastic hook on top is a neat idea though
- not saying it's impossible to do a 180 to bridge the gap on the rail while grinding (although it would depend on how narrow and round the rail is), but transitioning into a nose manual grind would've been probably way easier :T
- Langa really needs to learn how to fall
- that "rodeo andy" looked more like a simple backflip+180 or a backside rodeo if anything. From what I gather the andy rodeo is supposed to be a front flip

And this is a stupid complaint, but I wish the girl starting the race with a flag was just someone sexy dropping a handkerchief or something underground style. Not everything has to be WWE, fucking weirdos. Damn shame that Reki looks so weak compared to Langa too.


My dude.. as a skater it's obviously innacurate BUT... this is anime, don't look for realism here.


Accurate anime is not a myth though. Danberu for example was surprisingly accurate and detailed.

This episode was so good holy shit I'm still trying to process it.

I had the same idea as Reki to put rotating/spinning wheels on Langa's board to help him turn better, and it was really cool to see it in action! I absolutely LOVED the last couple minutes of the episode, both for better and for worse. Reki encouraging Miya to skate for himself and not for others, but rather with others, and to have fun with it was a pretty cool moment to see. The way Langa's face lit up when he saw Reki at the start and end of the race and how Reki lept into his arms and told him how amazing he was made me smile like an idiot, but I'm still scared because the director of Banana Fish is also directing SK8... 😰

And of course, you have a Hisoka-Dio love child named Adam, who seems to be the main villain of the series. I don't trust him one bit, and was totally on-board (no pun intended) with Reki when Adam tried to touch Langa and Reki was like "Don't touch him." all angrily.

I'm so excited to see how this series progresses, and can't wait for the next episode!
Until next time 🥳

I'm laughing so much at everybody calling Adam "Hisoka-DIO" lmao so true
He looks a lot like DIO but with Jonathan's hair colour.

Miya's character and backstory was quite cliché but I'm happy we're not wasting more time in that and apparently moving on to developing that character.

I can understand Miya. In a circle of friends if one of them becomes really good and popular, the other friends feel demotivated and useless. But Miya didn't become popular intentionally. He just played well and got attention. The other friends shouldn't take it to heart but instead try their own best.

Now Langa's getting good at skating too quickly. I wish they took more time. They're making Langa ‘born with the talent’ like typical sports anime. Even if he did snowboarding, he still shouldn't be able to do these kinda difficult stunts in his first try.

Langa's face when accepting the challenge were the face that Haru makes after seeing water XD

Miya's laugh at the end tho it was adorable.

Adam being all seductive and saying “May I touch you?” and then there's clueless innocent Langa XD

Cheery blossom and Joe's constant bickering makes them really shippable XD

Another great episode. That state board design Reki made for Langa is genius. It’s perfect for a snowboarder like Langa. His race with MIYA was really entertaining and had some crazy tricks that made me go “oh snap.” There was also some nice backstory for MIYA in this episode. I’ll admit, as someone who finished watch JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders a couple months ago, I had the biggest grin on my face every time skateboarder Dio, oh sorry, ADAM, on screen. It looks like Reki might start a beef with ADAM? I highly doubt that’ll end well.

Chinen's skate demos look oddly similar to Rodney Mullen's moves...anyone else notice that?

https://youtu.be/1U-cgn3cEGA?t=9

Also, Langa's board mods are pretty cool but then he would only limit himself to racing type skateboard matches. I'm guessing he's not trying to become a technical street skater like Reki and the others?

Glad someone mentioned this. Rodney mullen is my favorite skater to watch so when I saw that primo to Casper the part of me in high-school still went nuts
