| Fuck I had a feeling we'd get a cliffhanger. That teaser at the end though, can't wait. |
 |
| Awesome episode... Next week seems so epic ! Onoda following Midosouji and the other assitant from hakone ! Oh what ? This is the end of the season ? **** No ! Damn :( Oh so it means that could be the third day, Onoda is way too tired to go up again this race haha ! |

| THAT WAS EPIC. THE DETERMINATION AND TEAM SPIRIT WITHIN HAKONE AND SOUHOKU! :O Loved it so much, cannot wait till season 2! |
 |
| And we end with a 3 month cliffhanger =/ |
| It was a great ride so far, but I can't imagine of a worse way to end the season. At least we will get more Yowamushi Pedal in a couple of months. I'm looking forward to it! |
 |
| damn what a cliffhanger~ they could just give us one more episode... |
 |
| GIMME 2ND SEASON ALREADY AAAAAAARGH. 9/10 anyway, this was my favorite spokon of the two last seasons, really enjoyed it to the fullest. I expected the cliffhanger but hell man, the wait is gonna be painful. |
 |
| Of course they end with a cliffhanger. Of course they do. |
| cliffhanger ending~ cant wait till the fall!!~ xD that teaser at the end >< |

| Who ends the season that way? 'Pedal' is disappointing in this way. Look how 'Ping Pong' has ended (ok, not the season, but what an ending!) - excellent - that's the best sport (and maybe overall) anime of the season/year! lolijandro said: ....10/10 Best anime 2013-2014 Is that so? Have you forgotten about: - Ping Pong - Initial D final stage - Hajime no Ippo: Rising just to name a few from the similar genre. |

| Woah, loved it so far. Lol damn that cliffhanger. Woah, teaser alert. Midousuji vs Onoda vs Manami :o Seems like that would happen on the 3rd day though, given how tired Onoda is right now. 9/10 |

No need to put it down that much :/ Yowapeda still has more to adapt. Ping Pong and shounen sports are hard to compare because both have things that they did better than each other. Also, Haikyuu is the sports AOTS/Y so far. |
| It did not expect that cliffhanger actually. This episode was so good it just flew by! Overall, 8/10. Can't wait for October now! |
| What a cruel way to end a series. How could I wait and resist the temptation of the manga... |
| i wasn't really expecting that they would finish the second day (seeing how yowapeda is really slow with the races) so that didn't bother me. i just cannot believe that i'll have to wait 3 months for more. seems like i'll have to satisfy myself with others sports anime or check the manga 9/10 |
 |
| My score for this anime dropped by 1 due to that ending... Are they for real? ... phoebe5a said: Goddamn I hate this anime. 10/10 for hime. +1 |
| Hope everyone in Japan that watched this anime will rage at the creators of it, and then demand that they start on second season right away :P It's not like they have anything better to do :P |
 |
| midousuji almost kill my enjoyment for this show. 7/10, will watch 2nd season just to see him crushed. |
| lol what a way to end this season. 7/10. |
| Maybe it's because I'm busy at university right now, but when I watched episode 38 last week I didn't even realize the season ended. ^^ |
| UGH THAT ENDING WHY |
| The episode was great until that hell of a cliffhanger ending! They could have at least showed us who won...like really? really? Well now I suppose they are trying to make us watch the second season to find out who wins, and I will definitely be awaiting for that of course. Good season. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this series and getting hyped with everyone else. Loved every second of Onoda and his Hime song too! :) |
 |
| good series.. will watch next season 8.3/10 |
 |
| THAT WAS GOOD. I wasn't expecting this at all, but I ended up really liking the series by the end. That teaser at the end was awesome. This is a great series. I'm looking forward to this fall :-) |
 |
| I didn't mind the cliffhanger that much but I still have to wait a month? Ugh... I am very curious how this will end though, who'll win the 2nd, but more importantly, the 3rd day. Aside from that, I would like to see Onoda win the King of the Mountain point on the last day [like the ending clip suggests?] but I'm mainly rooting for Imaizumi and Naruko to win something. |
| Wtf, that ending! Good thing the second season is going to start airing soon. Overall, a pretty solid series so far. Looking forward to the second season. |
 |
| Well this whole anime sucked ass. Half of it was flashbacks, a quarter of it was obnoxious poses & the rest was mediocrity filling the spaces. The only good thing I can say it had going for it was the princess song, hime hime hime! & that Midousuji thing is the most annoying character I've ever seen, in any medium whatsoever, Jesus Christ. I felt like dropping it every time they showed his face, or his tongue hanging 3 meters outside of his mouth. It's like it's a fucking battle shounen with your no-two-ways-about-it-this-person-is-meant-to-be-viewed-as-a-bad-person-villain-monster-creature-thing, uugghh. I'm not 12 anymore, I won't root for the more virtuous guys because of that. There's lots of other things wrong with it too, I just can't be arsed. This anime is shit. |
 |
| Even though I saw it coming, I can't believe they ended the series in the middle of the Inter High. Even worse, in the middle of a race! I'm so glad season 2 is already airing. |
 |
| I'm watching this much later so I don't feel the cliffhanger but damn, that was intense. |
| 6/10 It was 5/10 at certain points. One of the main things that pisses me of about this series is the almost complete lack of character development, especially for the MC. Although, I suppose it's not a surprise when Onoda is a self insert for the author.   |
| This show hooked me good at the beginning and I blew through the first 20 or so episodes really fast. The second half didn't hold my attention as well, there were some amazing races and I can't wait to watch the next season but... just felt like things were drawn out a little too long sometimes. But hey, it's a sports anime. I'm not surprised. I was very surprised by the cliffhanger ending though. Didn't feel like the end of a show or season or anything!

Still, his love for the sport really comes through in this show IMO. |
| I love how if you weren't a member from Souhoku or from Hakone (except for Midousuji) you might as well not exist in this series.Even the freaking coach barely gets any screen time! So much damn talk,just so much talking over and over about the same things "oh you don't believe in the team? well you should believe in the team. Should I rely on the team for various things?Yes you can rely on the team for various things." Midousuji was just a absolute caricature and a stain to a otherwise somewhat decent show. MC Otaku-kun wasn't any better and got extremely annoying very fast,luckily the rest of the main characters were decent and fairly enjoyable (the guys from Hakone should have been the main characters). Not even gonna bother with the sequel... |
| That's such a bizarre place to end the season. Glad there's still plenty more to look forward to though! I don't even need to think about it, starting up Grande Road ASAP. Well as for the journey so far, this series has been nothing short of delightful. I really like how it took its time to set up for the Inter-High, Onoda joining the bicycling team had a bigger impact as they slowly immersed him into his potential as a rider. But more importantly, the role he has in the team's morale. Similarly to other sports anime I love, this too has been a huge source of motivation for my own training. I took interest in the Tour de France in 2014 (courtesy to Over Drive) and have always meant to add cycling to my list of workouts. Yowa Pedal finally got me to take that first big step and it really is exciting and challenging. I'm glad I waited until now, however, because Yowamushi really has made me better appreciate the sport. Most especially Onoda's optimistic approach to the joy of bicycling. The coach describes it best. Speaking of, Onoda you really are best boy! I mean the rest of the cast is great, but he really stood out. In terms of sports anime, it's the first time I've seen a nerdy, soft spoken character take the spotlight as protagonist. And strangely enough, it works so well! It's easy to touch base with Onoda as well, both the passion for anime as well as the thrill of exercise and exceeding physical limits. I also really could relate to his earnest desire to make friends, which not only has he done, but he's earned their respect as an irreplaceable member of Sohoku. 9/10, hime hime! (That's going to be stuck in my head for weeks and I ain't complaining!) |

| Good anime, couldn't stop watching so finished it in one week. The plot and characters really get you into it. Also the soundtracks are not bad. Really hate Midousuji, he's a jerk. And really gross. Hope he loses all races |
| I am glad I get to watch this whole thing without waiting lol. This is a great anime. 8/10 |
 |
| 6 or 7/10 for me . I still can't understand how can kimusuji win the first day and win over the sprinter in the second day ( he even won on the mountain ) , and still has power to keep up , when we saw the other racers break after going all out just for one time Add to that drifting for others doesn't make anysense , cause you can simple use the other teams . In real life , you see all the racers on one line . |

| Well, this was a huge let down. I was really enjoying this for the first 18-20 episodes, basically anything before the race starts. But then we come out of the gate with abs guy and it just went downhill from there, no pun intended. The evil guy that was evil just to be evil was really boring, Tadokoro feeling better and being able to overtake people because he was singing an anime OP. It just was all so damn bad after the race started. Don't even get me started on the blue balls ending were they could've ended the second day but decided to make it a cliffhanger. Geez, this turned into a failure so fast. I watched this because I saw it was getting a third season in January but I don't think I'm going to continue this one, it was just too much of a disappointment. Damn, I'm just so bummed with the shift the show took after the race started because I was having a lot of fun with this one, oh well. 6/10 |

| Awesome anime, probably gonna end up as my favorite, 10/10 for me... I honestly believe that anime's strongest point is characters, character development, flashbacks, character relatioships, interactions. And just the fact that i could feel for every character is amazing, except Midosouji (for now at least) I also liked how the rival team is not antagonist one and they are really likable. As far as my favorites go. I like every Sohoku member and all Hakone's members. Sohoku members more tho. My favorites go as follows Makishima>Todokoro>Naruko>Onoda>Kinjou>Imaizumi>Toudou>Arakita>Shinkai>Izumida AS far as the episode goes. Hakone catching up was amazing and Fukutomi's stone eyes and his trust in team was amazing. The best part was Sohoku catching up to them. Fukutomi believed they will too. Thanks to amazing Makishima and Onoda's climbing, they managed to do it. Really liked how Naruko called Onoda his friend and said that he won't let him fall, and after Onoda almost fell Imaizumi caught him, telling him to stay strong as the race is almost over. Honestly showed how much close they are and how good of friends they are with Onoda. (anime started with Onoda having no friends so it's big development they showed at the end). I also love how they were changing the drafter every time. Can't believe Tadokoro started drafting for them with his insane powerup and then Naruko drafted, that part was amazing even Fukutomi was amazed. And i just loved the Kinjou x Fukutomi's realationship, rivalry one. Fukutomi admitting that Kinjou's team is the only one who brings him delight and challenge. He couldn't believe he was feeling happiness for another team. The final battle started and it looks like Midosouji switched to plan #49. Honestly how anyone in their right mind will remember all these different plans LMAO. Really enjoyed seeing his shock after he saw that Sohoku caught up. No one, No one believed they would. Except Fukutomi, Izumida and Toudou probably. Sohoku showing everyone that even if someone is exhausted they will help him and work as a team,evident by their drafting at the end where they would change drafter.  |
| That left us hanging, since there was still so much intensity in the race. Sohoku making its comeback was great, especially when Imaizumi held Onoda when he was about to give up. I'm glad Imaizumi finally held his head high after getting defeated by Midousuji and able to lift up the spirit of his teammate. As for Hakone, I guess they aren't giving in either since the members have started to combine again. I can't wait for the sequel, to see who will take it! Overall enjoyable series with good characters along with a splendid animation! I will make sure the second season is on my list of priorities. 8/10. |

| I want Sohoku to win, not because they are the protagonist but because they deserve it. |
 |
| That's a very weird way to end a season. It already had an uncommon number of episodes so you think they could have at least ended on the final of the second race. Oh well, it's not an issue at this point in time. |
 |
| Sohoku catching up last minute, Midousuji was shook xD They went all out with the hype and intensity. Still can't believe they ended this part right there. Thank God I don't have to wait this time. Before my rewatch this anime has been an 8/10 on my list. Now after hundreds of anime later as well as this rewatch, I gotta say it's easily a 9/10. There's quite no other anime with so much cheesy energy and over the top characters in the sports genre. |
