Can't stand the romance subplots, but goddamn those moments where it's just the cars drifting along the mountain with that sweet eurobeat music playing in the background are just fucking beautiful.

I don't know if that was actually Mogi's dad, but damn they have a creepy relationship. Also Mogi's already showing signs of being a controlling bitch.

The pace in this anime is so slow. Takumi shoulda been on the road already.

I got this feeling the moment I heard Mogi talking with her "papa", but now it's just real. Is that seriously her father, or is it a sugar daddy? Like... He spends a lot on her, wants to see her in a bathing suit, nevermind that since healreadysaweverything, she lies about her friend being a girl. What is their relationship?

Also, dig that ending song. I know I said it before, it's just my type though. If I get to the next season, it better have as good of an ending credits song.

I feel for Iketani-senpai, seeing his beloved car in that condition must have been hard, but at least his eagerness got to Fujiwara, and in turn it will bring Takumi to the races, nice development. Also those paper cups with water weren't really for training, or at least not only for it, but first and foremost for keeping the tofu safe. And if I got it right, Mogi's "papa" is her sugar daddy. Well, I thought that first scene with him was weird, but I still thought it was her father. Interesting, I guess. Oh, and Takumi's friend is insufferable, I wish he would keep his word, and stop talking to him, but I guess that as soon as he sees Takumi racing he will only become even more annoying... *sigh*

Oh my god this is the first time I'm enjoying anime this much in probably years, the same feeling, excitement you get when watching anime for the first time! This is amazing amazing amazing amazing amazing. So, that guy did get into an accident, I found it adorable how he was blaming himself instead of the other guy, though. Takumi's personality is so interesting, he's stubborn, I love his personality honestly. Going to the beach with that girl, I guess he really is excited for that, haha. I'm so glad he decided to go, it's going to be so great, I can't wait for him to beat all of them, I can't wait for Takumi's friend to realize that Takumi is actually a monster at driving! The OST at the end was great, what an amazing OST. Great episode.

Now the stuff really is about to go down, loved every moment of that super eurobeat playing in the background while 2 brothers were showing off their drifting skills.

Next episode will probably be a banger

Damn these cliffhangers!

And wtf was Mogi talking about? "Papa you have seen everything" Huh?????

Can't wait to see the reactions of others when they find out that the driver of that AE86 is none other than Takumi.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Takumi is getting played by that girl. She’s not relationship material.
