| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well not bad. They got started with the race and I have to say that the Stride Club faced their toughest challenge yet. They need to get a sponsor lol Interesting to see the teamwork and energy of this tournament. Since this was their first real competition, I can see them improve soon.  |

| I thought I watched the wrong show, so it was the group's live segment. lol @ Kimura-san's character spoiling about who the poster is. They get so close so quick, yet intense. Shimono-san's character is a fan of the idol group?! The girl's first real match and very nervous, which Hirakawa-san's character can see it. So many fan services from the idol team. OnoD's character got a serious rival, and didn't do well. Shimono-san's character giving up, but Nobu's character never give up and surprised Mamo's character. For individual record among the team, it seems like Shimono-san's character is the best, though. lol @ the sister's sponsoring rival heated her. Blue to white. "Kimezerifu dorobou" part is lol. To the next game. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Not as hype as I was expecting it to be but I still enjoyed it and was entertained A LOT The idol boys can really do it all it seems lol but I was very impressed by how experienced and balanced their team was....They also showcased showcased a lot of interesting tactics too so I'm hoping to see more things like that in the future and especially from Honan Speaking of Honan, the stand out runner apart from that amazing comeback by Takeru was Hozumi, like holy fuck that third exchange was BEYOND FUCKING EPIC....Riku really needs to start emulating him in that department The hype for Honan increases with each episode lol so I'm glad that our two main boys are getting recognized....Now all we new is that other third year to join up again and replace the Shogi guy and this team will be deadly The princess poster thing with Hozumi and everything related to it had me dying too btw xDDD |

| I like the blazers that Honan got, looking cool! Best episode obviously, the race was hype, my feet moved along with them lol |
| It was okay I guess but I still liked the race from the 1st episode much more. Hozumi is probably my fav runner so far, wasn't really impressed my the others. I know it's already the 3rd ep but I hope this gets better cause it has the capability to |
| This episode was pretty fun, the whole series exceeded my expactations. Still don't understand how Ayumu was almost the fastest even though he ran slower at the parkour part. |
Chicken is love, chicken is life ~ ♥ |
| Damn, that was so close. Fujiwara is so fast. That was a great episode. Pretty awesome racing :o |

| that was good.. way better than i though it would be, Ishizuka work is top tier. |
| Im starting to get the Free! vibe in this anime. It's like they're trying to make this more appealing to female audiences. Seriously, the ending theme feels like it came straight from a reverse-harem anime. The opening is cool though. It reminded me of Overlords OP and it turns out they were performed by the same artist(s). Well they lost their first match. I'd say there's a 99% chance they will win on their next match. The pacing is rather fast, they need to slow down a bit. Well I guess since this series only have 13 episodes they are trying to squeeze as much content as possible. |

| Maybe I was expecting too much but this episode was a big disappointment. The conversation was bad and the secondary characters are pretty badly done. The race was okay with only an expected level of impossible fantasy elements. I'm also starting to wonder how ugly the writers must think Japanese women are if they keep writing boys as more beautiful women and with no interest in girls. |
| That was a nice race, That exchange between the trickster and Hasekura was epic. Pretty good episode overall, Thoroughly enjoyable though I was expecting them to show more of the race. The last segment was pretty much skipped all together except for the final moments. Hopefully we get more detailed races in the following episodes. |
 |
| I wish Galaxy Standard was the main characters instead x) |
| I'm amazed by the amount of people watching this who still don't know it's a reverse harem and based on an otome game. Ayumu cracks me up. Kaede is a cutie. I didn't like the OP at first but I think it'll end up growing on me. The ED is nice too. |
| This is getting better. Hopefully it keeps up. |
 |
| What the hell, Honan didnt win by a split second at the finish?Why arent you following the tropes Prince of stride?! Good episode,looking forward to more |
| Lead me out of the dark,bishounen space Jesus. |
| finally some running, too bad they lost but not surprising at all. the colors are still giving me amazing vibes, i love it so much haha |
 |
| Why this isn't tagged as a shoujo? Why MAL? |

D4rkn3s5 said: What the hell, Honan didnt win by a split second at the finish?Why arent you following the tropes Prince of stride?! Good episode,looking forward to more It's a common sports anime trope for the main character/team to lose to a rival/rival team, win against a bunch of other people/teams, then come back to beat the rival/rival team. Ex: Kuroko no Basuke - This was expected. |

| Honan losing was expected, but the race was still somewhat entertaining. Hozumi with that shortcut was pretty cool. I look forward to seeing how these guys improve. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Woah, the episode was very good and the race was enjoyable! |
| Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself... that is coffee. My anime list My manga list |
| I can't stop seeing Haru in Fujiwara lol,even more after that flipping-wet-hair scene |
| Really fun episode overall. Probably the best episode of the series so far. 4/5 |
 |
| someone really likes kuga huh? i loved the talks before the match. that jumping in the air cannot be safe or easy on the legs tho. is the shoving legal? it can't be legal. the sister is one of my favs really. |
 |
| I think they overdid it with the amount of spectators, the commentator and overall media hype. Like, its only a bunch of high schoolers playing, it isn't no European or World Cup good ep though, loved the match |
| The race was awsome (though the end result was predictable), looking to more of the epic parkour races |
| Pretty intense competition between both teams. Really cool how blonde guy took that dangerous shortcut. The parkour in this series looks awesome. |
| Is that Eiga Dorobou's little brother ?? |
| The race was super fun and entertaining, I couldn't stop watching. Sadly, I believe this is the only reason why I watch this anime as everything else (characters, fanservice...) is pretty average. |

| Loss was pretty much 99% guaranteed, but they'll get better later. Not bad not bad, I'm enjoying this. |
| Saisei is definitely a team full of entertainers! I prefer the type of stride Kohinata-senpai does ;u; He was so cool. What a fun and exciting episode :3 |
| Oh yeah new uniform baby. It was interesting to see the blocking technique too along with Kohinata's trickster jump. It was a sad day though for Shogi King Kadowaki as I fear he will lose his spot on the team as a runner because he's doesn't seem to offer anything in terms of stride unless a miracle happens. |
| The running parts of the show were fine. The boyband parts of the show were ridiculous. I get it that the just showing people running can get boring, but spicing it up with this kind of fan service is desperate and lowers the tone of the whole show. If they don't take running seriously, why should their audience? Free did it better. |
| Honan lost, but the race was pretty decent overall―it'll be interesting to see how they'll amend. At least they finally got a sponsor. |
 |
| I'm really enjoying this, the episode seriously felt like 10 minutes long. I don't know why they didn't talk about lack of self-belief to the shogi player. They obviously could have won, had their 4th didn't tilt. He let the team down and he definitely would've felt bad sure, but it feels like there was no proper resolve. They cheer him up and suddenly hyped for the next stride. just seems strange to me to not drill into him haha |
 |
| Hate to say it but Saisei was awesome! I also loved Kohinata's jump over that bridge, it was amazing! I'm not much into as many sports anime except for KnB and Haikyuu but I really enjoy this.This is definitely one of my faves this season :D |
| Just waiting for my boy Aomine Kuga to touch down. |
| Intense match, pretty damn close |
| Hi there |
| Aww they lost but they will be better than ever next time. Hope to learn about Yagami's brother. |
| Wow ... this episode was pretty intense, even though it was pretty clear from the start that they were going to lose the first encounter. I am really enjoying this anime so far. |
| It was good. They fcked up on the parkour though. It isn't about doing stuff in the air like u were doing gymnastics.. it's more like flying. Their loss was also obvious. This couldnt start with the team winning like it was ez xD |

| I prefer Helvetica Standard, honestly. |
| not bad, the first half was kind of meh, but the race was quite good. hozumi is my fave |
| Oh darn, my hunch was right. BUT IT'S OKAY! "The gloomy blue days are gone, and it's time for the shining new Honan Academy to shine!" or smt like that hehe Really wanted to see how Takeru ran against the last Gal-Stan member since Riku looked so stunned. Missed a chance for a little more fan service (◞‸◟；) Can't wait for next episode! |
