That episode went by very quick, but it was really enjoyable. I'm already liking Sakamichi, he's a fun protagonist, and that song he was singing was hilarious. I can't wait to see how much he develops later on when he joins the Cycling Club.

Way better than expected! Sakamichi being unexpected hero was cool!

The animation is good, hope it stays this way.

Will watch! Die OverDirve! :]

HIME HIME HIME HIME!
Awesome episode, more Spokon is always a good thing. I will surely keep watching it.
The MC is such a promising MC.
That guy in the bathtub at the end was singing Hime hime's song lol.

I love sports anime, they get me so pumped up. I can totally tell someone is either going to see them racing or something like that. I love those moments.

I like the MC a lot, there's nothing I don't like about him so far. An otaku sportsman sounds interesting, hopefully he keeps his hobby while he's in the racing club, it's quite funny. I'm not going to start typing the hime song, it's already been done enough in this thread.

I'm pretty excited about this series, being a decently serious cyclist myself. I just hope it doesn't end up like Stella Jogakuin club, which was about airsoft but was really bad and I wasn't too happy about it.
I'm also glad I hear an artist I like, Rookiez is Punk'd!

Woot! Very good like I expected. Seems my standard for biking animes should stay high. They even have the OP by Rookies is Punk'd. XD
OverDrive had an upbeat OP too.

Hoping for a 2 cour. Can't wait to see everyone baffled by Sakamichi's bike riding.

LOL @ the singing in the bathtub in the end.

Favorite of the season so far, and no complaints either. :D

This was certainly better than I expected, the MC is fun and the Hime song was catchy. I hope there is some romance development in it, to keep me interested. Will see, the character design of some of the characters is great. Good start 4/5.

Feels like Overdrive but surprisingly much better! The mc guy has an insane potential, singing while riding that steep slope. No wonder that rich kid was so bothered. And that Hime, Hime song at the bathtub. Haha... 1st song syndrome?? lol.

I pretty much enjoy this episode, even though is just character introductions and a set up. I thought Sakamichi was wimpy at first, but It seems like he is a promising character imo. Looks interesting in the end when Imaizumi wanted to race with Sakamichi. Animation, art, op, and ed, were decent enough.

Well a good start off for a sports anime. Can't wait to see the next episode.

And the 4th sports anime has finally aired. Glad I gave it a chance. It was way better than I was expecting hehehe.

Sakamichi is pretty funny. I was afraid he'd be the coward type that's always bullied...etc but glad he's got his own personality and aggressive in his own way (Otaku way XD)...Lol'd so much at how he climbs that friggin steep slope while singing an anime song hahahaha.

Imaizumi is cool and funny too. Especially his monologues XD...His reactions to Sakamichi were hilarious and at the end when he started singing Hime Hime Hime I lol'd so much XD

Miki seems to be a nice girl and the club seniors look to be fun. So can't wait to see more :D

I guess Sakamichi's ability will shine in stamina races. Since I doubt he'll be a fast rider.

And holy shit that guy in the OP&ED who looks like F/Z Caster was so creepy with those eyes and mouth XD

Same here, I wasn't expecting much, I almost miss this anime and it would've been a shame, it started pretty good.

I'm also glad he has not that kind of personality, and Imaizumi singing hime hime at the end I almost fell of my chair LOL.
Currently watching everything that comes out to avoid missing something good...

Oh my God, their uniform. I started laughing when I saw their trousers - they look like Rupert the bear.

The bara guy is super cute as frick. I hope he gets some nice doujinshis.

This was really great, though! I love sports anime anyway, but all the characters seem really interesting and Sakamichi is super cute. Although, I remember that Sakamichi means slope from Sakamichi no Apollon, but they were only saying "saka" when they talked about the slope. Is sakamichi just a longer version of saka, like nisemono is a longer version of nise (at least I think it is from general animanga observation), or does sakamichi have more meaning to it like "steep slope" or something? Ah, I just find languages super interesting, gomen.

Wow.. certainly exceed my expectation!! It's even better than some of the shows that I was looking forward to this season.. somehow when he sang that "hime hime" song was really funny! Add in the competition (which is going to be intense judging by the animation style) and this series might end up as one of the best this season.

It definitely gives the feels, it really resemble's Overdrive with a twist where the main character is an Otaku. I loved the Overdrive series. If it gets more episodes it'll probably be as good.

So far it looks promising, compared to Overdrive that had 26 episodes... i guess it depends now on how many episodes Yowamushi Pedal will have which will determine its worth. If its 12-13 eps. It might feel to short and just gonna be one of those average 12-13 ep series and not much story behind it but if its at 25-26 episodes It'll definitely be like Overdrive with the Twist.

So far really enjoyed the ep, can't wait for the next one!

I know right?! When I saw the title Yowamushi i was worried he'd be some weak bullied-type but he's more or less just against exercise even though he's good at it! I like the MC so far :)

8/10 for this ep.

He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.
