| It's a shame that Langa and Adam's race got interrupted by the cops, but that sets things up perfectly for a rematch later. And poor Reki, continuing to get sidelined lol. This really is the Langa show, it's actually kind of ridiculous at this point how good he has become in such a short time frame and has now completely overshadowed Reki lol. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Damn. Leki, why you so lucky? I can't believed after that crush, he just sufferred the broken arm only. Lol. He even could ride the motorbike in the end of the day. Good shit enough to claps my hands up. Its looks like Ranga was unstoppable. Leki exaggerating persuasion seemed unable to stem the desire to race from Ranga. In the end, they were all suddenly form a friendship toward the coalition, even with Joe and Cherry too, to dropped out the image of the clown skater legend. That comedy relief looked ridiculous, but still managed to bring the right moments. In the mean time, Ranga seems so determined to stick close to that creepy saiyan, Adam. He simply got stimulated, after those thrilling moments. Its truly pumped out through the bloods, directed on to his heart, and formed that kind of magic world. Its fun, yeah? They almost reached out the other worlds. Unfortunately, that police patrol became the damn cut through those entire peculiar race. Its fine, then. They need to break off a while after those intensed romance story. Lol at Adam whose found his truly Eve. Its fucking creep me out.... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Haha wow, that race between Adam and Langa sure was something. I'd probably call the police too if I saw that happening. |
| This is terrifyingly gay like a certain character we know lol |
 |
| Great episode again, luckily Reki isn't super badly hurt after taking the unrequited love hug lmao. The restaurant scene was great, I really like the characters in the show and Miya always got that drip. The ADAM vs SNOW fight was wild though, angel Langa avoiding the love hug was dope and made ADAM nut or something lmao, he found his EVE. I guess that's a good way to save who the winner is for later with the cops arriving. Looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| This show is starting to feel like an excuse for Utsumi to shill her Canadian husbando. He beats everyone. ADAM wants to fuck him. The protagonist is his cheerleader. He's somehow skating Jesus despite having only like one month of experience. They should at least change the skating course though, hopefully next ep provides a change of scenario. |
 |
| Lmao Adam is one crazy dude |
 |
| Well, thank God that Reki came out OK with his injuries, though 2 weeks is quite a sizable time of recovery. But the stage has been set from the start of the beef: Langa vs. Adam. Cherry Blossom in real life though, he's quite the figure. But gathering everyone in Joe's shop to help Langa face off against Adam, that's a collective effort right then and there at the very least. Well then, time for the beef between Langa (Snow) and Adam...the "Passionate Dancing Night"! Sure is a battle for the century right there of predicting moves...and Adam has found his Eve pairing. What a stunt to pull off with the race cut short from the police, but this won't be the last that the two will face off again. |
 |
| Incompetent police is omnipresent. Also is this gonna turn yaoi or nah? |
 |
Being at episode 5, I expected one of two outcomes:
It ended up being that neither win and the race is a draw and delayed for later |
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸 |
| Well, I suppose it makes sense that this race would be cut short for now, as something along these lines will no doubt be the grand finale. Until then, we got a little taste of how one can counter ADAM, though I'm hoping the show doesn't end up pigeon-holing him as this one-trick pony when it comes to the Love Hug. And now Langa has been christened as SNOW... no doubt he'll continue to make a name for himself in the S tournaments. Also looks like he and Reki could be taking very different directions after their respective confrontations with ADAM, Reki afraid of getting awful injuries or seeing that happen to someone else again while Langa is intrigued and wants more. |
Blue_Maroon said: For example, this anime features a bunch of pretty-boys doing an athletic activity/sport, a genre that has historically large female followings (think “Free”, “Haikyuu”, and “Kuroko no Baske”). Furthermore, you also have some character relationships that are commonly shipped together, such as the friend/rivals with Joe and Cherry Blossom, the loud friend + quiet friend with Langa and Reki, and the boss/servant relationship with Adam and his secretary. The reason why I brought this up in this episode is because of how much more noticeable it was. Cherry Blossom showing “Love Hug” and ending up nose-to-nose with Joe. Reki constantly worrying about Langa and not wanting him to skate with Adam. Adam’s secretary subtlely going above and beyond to protect Adam, while not approving of his skating lifestyle. Obviously, none of this sounds unreasonable for straight characters to do, but it is in its execution that it becomes noticeable. I get what you mean, but I still think the character interactions are way less fujobait than Free's. I see zero fujobaiting in Reki and Langa's relationship, and that's why I particularly love their relationship. They're just best bros. Of course it's perfectly reasonable for Reki to be concerned for Langa cause he experienced Adam firsthand and thus he doesn't want Langa to go through the same thing and possibly get injured worse than he did. If my friend associated with a freak like Adam I'd also tell them not to. Though I admit I see some fujobaiting in Joe and Cherry Blossom's rivalry, I have to agree with that one. As for Adam and his secretary's relationship, they didn't interact long enough for me to judge it. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| only props i can give this anime so far is that the skatepark at 8 minutes actually exists. Hana Mizu Midorinodaikairo park in Okinawa. |

A good amount of what I am saying is speculation as well, so we’ll have to see how it goes for the rest of the season. Cheers. |
| Man Adam is so gay for Langa it's great. That race was fucking rad. When Langa did that flip over the love hug into that absurd angelic shot I was just clapping. So awesome. |
| This episode... man that was intense, never have I ever think i would need to see 2 people dancing while skating and spinning, this is so god damn ridiculous I love it. When I first started watching this I thought "This is just Fast and Furious but with skates" and boy it wasn't wrong, the god damn acction is escalating to ridiculous levels every episode, from the skate that has a modified fron't wheels so It can perform some ridiculous stunts and literally fucking drift like crazy to people dancing flamingo on a skateboard to the god damn angel scene with the skateboarding pose. This shit is so mad crazy that idk how they going to escalate it form here I know they had to cut the race cus Adam is the final boss of this show probably, and we are at ep 5, so now Langa has a taste of how it feels to go toe to toe with him, seeing how motivatedly horny Adam got here, this is probably going to go so much batshit insane that its going to be an amazing watch. 9/10 ep cus they couldn't finish the race, I would have loved to see what crazy shit they do on the factory. Never have I ever seen something so hype and gay at the same time |
| I really want to know what that thing was that Langa seen when he was skating with Adam. Also an upcoming beach episode? Count me in :) |
| Every race is better than the last! They really stepped it up with Langa vs. Adam. The biblical allusions with Adam are cool too. I wonder who called the cops. Reki maybe, or perhaps Adam's guy. Or maybe it's not even relevant. Miya is dripped tf out. |
 |
| I can see the anime starting to reach its clear direction with this episode, its not so much a fault with the show itself since its only 12 episodes but having really only Adam as an antagonist puts me off. His character feels too tropey and non subtly shoving BL elements. Langa also suddenly being this prodigy is throwing me off. I appreciated his growth in the previous episodes but here it felt way too sudden and just throws Reki even further into the sidelines (and thats ignoring the injury). Still enjoying it, but cautiously concerned with the direction for the last half. |
| I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this anime as much as I have been so far. It just seemed it was going to be another short generic sports anime with a bunch of pretty boys running around with no plot or characterization whatsoever. However, it seems to get better with every episode. I mean I know there is only so much a series can do in 12 episodes but so far it seems pretty solid imo. Though hoping Reki will finally have his time to shine before the series ends. Adam being extra as fuck as usual, I love it...over there being the Hisoka of sports anime. Langa just accepting the flowers like thanks..?? lmao |
 |
| This week's episode was thrilling and enjoyable, but anyone getting Hisoka vibes from Adam? I feel like they are both crazy characters or more like so into what they do! |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| Every time Adam pulls some new shit my brain short circuits. This show gets more and more extra every episode and I'm HERE. FOR. IT. |
| The Adam × Langa race was quite thrilling. I laughed so hard at all the things Adam did to Langa. How can they be so dramatic, intense and funny at the same time? After all, it's DIO sama. |
 |
| quite a feat that Langa was able to avoid Love Hug of ADAM! but all of sudden ADAM was able to catch-up...damn! they should really train Langa harder to be the one who will make the downfall of ADAM! 5/5. |
 |
| Did I eat up Adam's theatrical madness for the second week in a row? Yes, absolutely, you're damn right I did. |
elany said: I've been loving Adam's antics, for one, but I ended up checking Langa's age bc the whole thing is still a little yikes. And after that whole "when are you gonna marry a proper girl?" and his and his assistant's reactions making me go "Hmmmm", I'm just a tad reticent over how that is gonna play out and if it's just for the Drama (which, granted, wouldn't be surprising coming from this brand of anime).earyna said: hopefully... otherwise my ratings goona fall a (big) bit lol... the dancing scene was also too mch for me at some point, some people here and on tiktok compared him to hisoka and i have to agree more and more about that whenever i see him Lmaooo glad it's not just me. like that was entertaining, sure, but also cringe. entertaining cringe. honestly i'm so used to this exact trope from other anime that i'm just rolling with it but man that was a lot to sit thru at least langa isn't an actual literal 11yo, right hisoka? |

Oh yeah we actually have no idea how old adam even is. I heard that joe and cherry are like 20 or something, and it'd make sense for adam to be about the same age, but tbf my sources here are A Friend Told Me so take that with a grain of salt. Either way, it wouldn't really lessen the mega creepy vibes adam is giving off haha and just as well, even if it's not Just for the drama, Drama is what we'll be surely getting and i for one am looking forward to every second of it =D |
| This is getting gayer and gayer but I'm actually enjoying this show quite a lot. Couldn't expect less from the lady who directed Free. Looking forward to more JOE next episode. Langa jumping that Love Hug looked hella sick, by the way. |

| Langa could just as well be better than ADAM at this point, and to think, Langa could get even better yet! ADAM is clearly gay for Langa, so Langa should watch out. JOE is a pretty hot piece of ass, and considering that I'm not into manly guys, that's really saying something. Cherry's hot as hell, too. |
 |
Hyusho said: I don't like where it's going. Sports comedy turning into super power gay harem. There's a point when one more genr" is one too many. It would only have three genres then tho, that's actually not a lot. I also doubt this'll turn into a harem. Great episode, Adam is insane, but Langa seems to be drawn to him as well. The OP insinuated that he will leave Reki, but I didn't think it would be of his own free will ^^ Excited for next week! |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| So Reki is on the shelf for two weeks after bailing hard in his race against Lagna. Lagna wants to skate against Adam, but Reki begs him not to race him because he doesn't want him to get hurt. It seems like Adam has finally met his match by proclaiming Lagna to be his "Eve" after Lagna evaded Adam's Love Hug. Who the hell called the police anyway. Somebody is snitching. |
 |
| Adam creeping me out still. Nice to see Joe+Cherry join the crew too. I bet the manager called the cops. |
| Okay who called the cops? Even Adam doesn't know who did it. Whoever did it is a special kind of snitch. Anyway, the episode itself was really fucking good animation and art wise. I do say the weakness to the Love Hug was dumb because the Love hug is just a glorified game of chicken. Adam has been putting dudes in the hospital all because they don't wanna take risks like him. I am not saying this is bad but I wish they just said the idea of avoiding the move is being fearless. Lastly, I wish someone would wear a helmet in this show as this shit is dangerous. LOL! Edit: Wait the lady who directed this did Free? Wow... also the show isn't gay or anything. Adam is just flamboyant as fuck. Also it's obviously Cherry and Joe are straight as they got fangirls. This show isn't about that guys. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| .....I wonder if straight guys would feel that same compulsive need to assure themselves that a show isnt gay if it were an all girl cast. |
| Langa was insane, I knew going closer during the lovehug was how it can be avoided. Also I wonder how the police got info of this, maybe that red hair girl? |
 |
payment said: I don't like how langa is like a prodigy and reki is useless af this one here tho :') this is the number one thing that bugs me about this show like when is reki gonna get his moment to shine?? |
| my overall feelings are mixed with this show. i think (like mostly everyone watching this) langa is 100% outshining reki. the way that he becomes a skateboarding prodigy in a couple of weeks is crazy while reki has not had a single moment to show his skills?? honestly wondering why reki seems like a side character while he's one of the main characters. i think the only way to truly enjoy this show rn is just accepting the fact langa is a prodigy. loads of bl hints in this ep and obvs going to cause a lot of ships. i'm just wondering what the relationship dynamic is between adam and langa? like obviously adam is interested but is langa interested too or.. i'm wondering who called the police too, i like the theory that adam's secretary called the police bc he was jealous lmaoo |
