Loved the chara design :D

This. At first I thought it was pretty childish-ey, but after I actually watched the show, it's pretty good, and cute ^^

Lol at the last scene, "hime hime hime" hum..

Really enjoyed this! I'm glad that this'll be 39 episodes long. I'll hold off the manga until the anime ends.

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.

Not sure about this one yet. An average start but hopefully it will involve something new apart the usual stuff you see in a sports anime i.e the female manager.

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!

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


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 :)

I was surprised at how good it was!

I love how seriously these sports animes take themselves, it ends up being really over-the-top and hilarious.

05:52 it's "Anime Manga Research Club"

07:19 LOOOL

09:30 "Sakamichi" lol @ dat mangaka

19:51 well, he does look like a snake

23:39 lol, a potential okaku?

Too short! I need ep.2 now!
8/10 for this ep.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
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.

Oh i've seen other people mention similarities with Slam Dunk also. Are the storylines somehow similar or just the characters? I haven't seen SD (didn't like the artstyle, but maybe i shoudl give it another try)
