| This training camp has overstayed its welcome. Plus, now I like the second-years so much I have no reason to care about the "main trio" since they're all so one-note in terms of personality. Did not see that coming. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| Not bad, a first-year finally made it through the second-years' so-called "teamwork". |

AzureAlert said: Once I felt that the pacing wasn't going to speed up, I started skipping through the episode. I'm simply not interested in the second years at all. They need to wrap the training camp up, it's getting old. 2/5 exactly what I was thinking; I began skipping too. I'm starting to get bored |
| "Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship." "If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!" "Normal rabbits don't carry guns!" |
| onoda did it! haha man that was awesome :-) also perm-kun really reminds me of kirihara from prince of tennis xD next ep is going to be killer tho omg ;_; i hope they all go to the inter-high! |
| Onoda started out as a cool otaku but now he is just lame and a freakin' eyesore. His smiles creep me out. I am totally rooting for the 2nd years, I like the perm dude. There is no one in the first year trio that I like and it sucks that they take up most of the screentime, ugh. I hope there will be more appearances from the 2nd years and the 3rd. Only watching it for them and the Hakone team. |
Esheraz said: Absolutely loved this episode, the OST fits so perfectly during the scenes of action and uprising motivation. Yeah |
| Four things. 1. Onoda, the main character, is really talented, unbelievably talented. 2. He started earlier than any of them in the morning, and he can last longer than a second year. Why not? 3. Hard work is shit without talent. That's some pretty damn bad message this series is trying to pass across. No matter how hard we work, those without talent cannot surpass those with talent. 4. I really cannot come to like Onoda. I scored the series a "4", before this episode I wanted to increase it to a "7", but this episode killed it, once again. At times, I really love it, and at times like this, I really dislike it. Sigh. Don't forget, the first years are still handicapped, god damn. Sigh, whatever. brianez said: jimjameswhatever said: I personally think the 2nd years deserve to go to inter-high for working with the limited talent that they have. I like onoda as a character, but god given talent being rewarded all the time bores me. kurini said: Yep, and it's already their second year! It's so sad if they can't participate when they are actually putting load of effort in their traning! Yeah, but the thing is their attitudes (or at least the perm guy's) suck! I know what it's like to love a hobby but still suck at it. But I don't let the fact that I'm not not a prodigy and not the best turn me into a sour person who wants to crush their other teammates just because they're more talented than me. Onoda and the others are also giving it all they've got. They're not going to succeed just because they're talented. On another note, Onoda is so stinkin' cute! I can't handle it... Sorry, but I don't see how do they suck. He wants to crush them so that they won't be able to continue, which give them chances to catch up again. Selfishness is human's nature. In fact, the perm guy actually doesn't mind letting his team mate gets all the glory. Let's say if they are not going against the main characters, would you still think the same about them? What if they are the main characters instead, would you still say that their attitude sucked? Edit: Oh and, Onoda stating that he wants both Imaizumi and Naruko to participate in the inter-high means that they will crush the second years' dream and effort, it's the same logic. If you hate the second years, hate the first years too.

I like Naruko and Imaizumi, but I just temporarily lose interest in them as soon as those second years are introduced. |

| What sucks is that they can't all go to the Inter-high. ^^; Aoyagi and Teshima have worked really hard to get a spot on the team, and you'd like to think that that alone would earn it for them... but we don't all get what we want. It's not a bad message, it's reality. Sometimes hard work alone isn't enough, especially when the people with talent are also busting their balls. When it comes down to it... Teshima is only there to get Aoyagi on the stand, and without Teshima, Aoyagi wouldn't make it. They are really normal people. Nothing wrong with that, and their team work is exemplary, but if you want to make a team that will win, do you want to put on two people who are only great together, or two people who are each great? I'm sure there are people in the inter-high who wouldn't have any trouble passing Teshima's wall... That said, Onoda is both endearing (I really do cheer for him), and annoying (what the heck is with him always catching up? It defies logic!) so I don't really know what to do with him. ^^; I do think that Imaizumi and Naruko are more interesting... but they need to start working together and not against each other so much. *shrug* I'm still enjoying it, but I'm not going to look forward to the results of this training camp, really... because someone is going to get their dreams crushed, no matter what. ;_; And I have a feeling it's going to be the 2nd years, just because it's already been established that the 1st years are the MCs. Onoda needs more otaku time. The omake was adorable, but not enough. *lol* |
 |
| I can't help but root for the second years and the MCs :( Teshima is a little too bitter, though. Also, the scene after the credits is always hilarious! Lol Imaizumi knowing the lyrics |
| cycling at night created a great atmosphere :). Hmm both the first and second years could win this thing...and though probably the first years will win, I'll feel bad after getting to know those 2 2nd years :/ |
| Starting back again from where I last left off, the OST during the final climb was awesome, compare to OST for Aldnoah Zero, granted I have only seen one episode, but many praises the rather-ordinary OST in it's first episode. ~.~ rimedragona said: But if you think about it, what is talent anyway? Imaizumi and Naruko both worked hard to reach this step, the second years also worked hard even with their weak body, and Onoda got used to hill climbing after his years of traveling to Akihabara. I don't know if you can really call that talent, it's all hard works, and God's gift (healthy body).Aoyagi and Teshima have worked really hard to get a spot on the team, and you'd like to think that that alone would earn it for them... but we don't all get what we want. It's not a bad message, it's reality. Sometimes hard work alone isn't enough, especially when the people with talent are also busting their balls. It would be so much believable if it's Imaizumi or Naruko who passed the second year, but it's Onoda, handicapped and just started. His growth is just ridiculous no matter how you see it. From what I heard, Ace of Diamond have a similar situation, a few pitchers on the main team, but the protagonist does not steal away all the spotlight from the other pitchers. |

| I think the 2nd years deserve to win, they trained so hard to prove they could be winners without talent. Their bitterness is justified, I'd be bitter as hell two if I trained my ass off just be be beaten by a bunch of prodigies. I seriously don't get why Onoda passing him matters though? They all know he's behind in laps. |
| on my way to steal yo girl  |
| Eh, I don't actually care that much about the 2nd years so I skimmed over their backstory. I mean I get it but they're not the mains so obviously they'll lose out. It's how anime works. Besides, personality-wise, they don't really appeal to me either. Seaweed head is too bitter, can't say much for the quiet one. It's a bit surprising that Onoda is the one that passed but then again, he's the climber isn't he? Training camp needs to end soon, this is getting old. |
| wtf was this episode |
| Why do they keep calling him Perm-senpai? Seriously? LOL I'd punch them if they called me that. |
| 臭い- |
| didn't like two last episodes, i believe its necessary to develop those 2 characters, but they seem so uninteresting, and you know they won't make it to inter high, cause MC power. Episode was slow paced too :( |
| This is silly, I care about the 2nd years more than the freshmen after this backstory episode. Onoda's passing Teshima shouldn't matter at all, he's so far behind with his laps the guy should've just ignored him. I feel like the writer simply forgot about logic here. |
| These flashbacks always make me root for the characters, even if Teshima is going a bit too far considering the cicumstances. It's kinda ridiculous xD Hype Onoda moment at the end. Finally some teamwork from the first years. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Very inspiring to see the 'ordinary cyclists' Aoyagi and Teshima not giving up hope in the past and combined their efforts to reach greater heights. |
