| Good training camp in a training center. Good food. Good baths. Good table tennis. Bad karaoke hahaha. A bit of fanservice at the end. A good chapter. Mucho macho protein I want it. LOL 😁 |
| I am Argentine, so is not very good my English, sorry for the many typing errors. |
| I was going to say that finally this episode had Sakurai actually learn more about being a Relationer and actively trying to improve herself instead of constantly watching the other team's relationer work, but the PV for the next episode seems to have her go back to her old ways. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If you're going to go through the trouble of introducing a character and attempt to make them relevant then, at least, you could have them be useful. Otherwise, Kadowaki would be a better fit as Honan's relationer. Sakurai has potential but it's been 7 episodes already (out of 12, yikes) and she's just starting to become more capable in her role. The writers could have done better with her. |
| Pretty fun training camp episode this week. All of them seem to have improved. Looking forward to next ep. Some dude in the preview looked insane |
So they met during childhood? |
| Hi there |
| The training place was nice and so were those practice races. 4/5 |
 |
lmao   i want a ping pong anime |
| okay but did they literally wait until right before the end of summer to fix rikus running posture? if they couldnt notice such a blatant gaping setback like that then honey you got a big storm coming...theres no way they can actually beat saisei im gonna be mad if they do because honans such a mess omfg you can talk about "building the relationship between runner and relationer ugu nyaaa" all you want but they havent progressed in terms of running capabilities. riku obviously goes full out in the beginning and is unable to maintain his speed but no one on the honan team has helped him like it got so bad that their enemies ended up fixing the mistake for him. so honestly what even? |
| An amusing and uplifting episode! Lots of fun. I especially liked the piano/strings piece at the end while they were playing in the water (is this Free? lol) Next ep looks... dramatic. |
 |
| More relaxed episode this time, and it was fun to see most of them get riled up on competition (even when it's not racing). Interesting that Takeru seems to have known Riku and Nana in the past. |
 |
| OMG OMG SO GOOOD AHHHH Honan and Saisei's training joint camp. They learned a lot from this and I can't wait to see how much they improved OMG Fujiwara knows Yagami and Sakura...childhood friends???? |
| XD love how Riku kept hitting Fujiwara with the ping pong ball. |
 |
| cute episode. Takeru and Reiji being extremely competitive tho♥ and Senoo please, you know you're enjoying it ♥ |
 |
owlcatglasses said: If only Heath could have his hair down all the time. That was a fun episode. I completely agree. |
| I felt as if I missed something at the beginning of the episode oO But other than that it was pretty nice :) Although it sure took Riku some time to finally realize he tends to slow down a lot at the end of his running |
| Haha this Episode was quite funny. Now I don't want to stand next to Riku while playing table tennis XD And if Takeru knew Nana & Riku from his childhood it would make sense why he stared at them in Episode 1 during class. |
| Lmao I like how Takeru got so close to Reiji the first time they raced when Honan was losing with quite a margin, made it seem like his top speed is more than Reiji's. But here, he's slower than Reiji, like they have this constant gap. Maybe it had to do with his adrenaline rush, but oh well. Nice training episode though. |

| When your childhood friends don't remember you :'( feels bad man :'( The training was good, so much bromance :) And the only girl there is sakura, but they didn't do anything to her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| wow that gym is amazing and over the top |
 |
| funny episode overall XD that facility looked amazing to me...no wonder they are so strong XD and i didn't expect those two were his childhood friends.....that is interesting yet feels sad... next episode will be interesting :D looking foward to it! |
 |
| Ok episode I guess. That school though, their facilities look great. |
| It was really nice to see them just hang out and have fun for an episode. So much drama (forced or otherwise) in the last few episodes, and the rival teams always seem to be full of cocky d-bag sore losers, so seeing some jolly camaraderie with another team was a nice change of pace. The serious discussion about the food though. 4/5. Looking forward to getting back to the action after a refreshing week off, both for the team and the viewers. |

| It was fun to watch they even got better |
 |
| I can't wait to see Kakyoin in action!! |
| Very fun episode :) Fujiwara is becoming my favourite :D |
 |
| The show went full Free. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| Takeru's past is intriguing. Saisei are so lucky, their facility are veru impressive O.O |
| Saisei's budget for their Stride team is woah but then again they're like some popular idols who generate the income I suppose. More backstories pl0x. Also, this anime is so gay but why didn't we get a hot tub bath scene :( Sakurai is basically an extra in this show. Next episode looks fun I hope. |
| allo |
| Saisei facilities are so expensive! 4/5. |
 |
| that was a really satisfying episode wow not even because of the "fanservice", but seeing both teams bond and characters grow makes me really warm on the inside! i love the character interactions so much!! saving next ep for later. also- interested to see the backstory between riku, takeru and nana! |
| Yep this episode is definitely for all the women & rotten people out there :P Safe to say that i found it a little off putting. |
| Filler training episode. The only thing this anime has going for it is the intensity of the races... this episode didn't have it. |
  |
| All of the senpais looking like bishoujos with their hair on fleek and shit. |
| 臭い- |
| Not bad the episode, the narrative through Kadowaki pretty funny. You start to hear a small glimmer of insight in the relationship between the members of Hounan. a little weak designs, bad animations, catchy soundtrack. |
 |
| When the moments get good they ruin it with saying cheesy stuff like "I could sense your bottled feelings, next time we run set them free..." ... |
 |
| Chill episode. Didn't know there's a backstory to their relationship.. Gosh starting to wonder if there is time for that >< |
| omg heath and riku looked so cute with their hair down and flat :3 lmao at riku's ping pong skills xD in the end of the episode, stride turned into free |
 |
  I'M DYING (can't help seeing it another way, sorry) |
 |
i guess so. maybe it's like clannad and she doesn't remember, though. yuiyuigahama said: okay but did they literally wait until right before the end of summer to fix rikus running posture? if they couldnt notice such a blatant gaping setback like that then honey you got a big storm coming...theres no way they can actually beat saisei im gonna be mad if they do because honans such a mess omfg you can talk about "building the relationship between runner and relationer ugu nyaaa" all you want but they havent progressed in terms of running capabilities. riku obviously goes full out in the beginning and is unable to maintain his speed but no one on the honan team has helped him like it got so bad that their enemies ended up fixing the mistake for him. so honestly what even? everyone has different running styles sooo... ----- eh, ok episode. i love how all of a sudden sakurai has this "special talent" when she literally showed none the whole time. |
 |
| Fun episode. That facility was just amazing. |
| So those 3 met before when they were kiddos but the only one who remembers is Takeru... no wonder he was looking at them that way in the first episode |
