| I really like That although it is a sports anime It focuses a lot in the characters, like, 2 episodes has passed and there's still no running. The characters are really likeable and interesting too. I'm really liking this series |
| This is how large cast shows should be, it's only been two episodes and every character is unique and not hard to tell apart at all, not many shows pull that off. I'm already seeing this as being the best written show of the season and can't wait for more. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| So far, I like this show quite a bit. My only worry is that it'll devolve into the typical try-hard sports anime formula. Fingers crossed that won't happen. Honestly, I'd like the show even more if they cut out the running. |
| 2 episode and i already know this anime is a real deal. the progresion and development is so enjoy, not boring, not cringe, no bl |
 MAL score and most user-based rating system are all joke, Imagine trusting plebs and hivemind. Find users who have good sense and rating and use them as a reference. Check my guide to rate Your taste is trash. Cope, seethe, mald |
| Enjoying the pacing so far. It's just a nice anime to watch and relax. The comedy was good. I really love characters. Each of them is different and they seem realistic The best anime of this season for me so far |
 |
| Cute show so far.. |
| :3 |
| damn the dude is relentless he's basically blackmailing them |
 |
| Two episodes and I'm hyping already hahaha |
| I feel bad that it doesn't get much attention when other shitty shows get it. Haiji is so far the best character. |
| LOL poor Musa, "It's wrong to think someone can run fast just because they're black!" That's gonna suck, he has to maintain his grades because he's being supported by the government, he seems to be the smartest one anyway so I'm not worried but he also has to work at the croquette shop while participating in Haiji's marathon club. Haiji is high key creeping on everyone. I can't imagine Akane running. He looks like a boy version of Haruko Haruhara from FLCL. He's so skinny plus he spends most of his time doing non-strenuous activities such as reading manga and books. Even in the OP song he was left behind. In the preview, he's flat and dead. Both Haiji and Kakeru are hard-headed so they both passed out in the hot bath. That old man is a beast though, he spends every night in that hot bath. |
| ่ญใ- |
| He is a Devil!!!! kekeke |
| Haiji you sly bastard :') |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Really nice to watch this episode, not because it was original, after all the narrative has followed a predictable track with regard to the plot, but the merit is of the characters and Haji, excellent drawings and OST. |
 |
| Um... just what percentage of the show are these guys going to be naked? I get the creators are female and are sort of angling for that audience but man, a lot of naked dudes. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| This is getting really interesting. I feel bad for the Prince he looks so traumatized that he sees Haiji as ogre lmao. I wonder what Kakeru went through during college. Haiji so cheeky using their weaknesses lmao |

| Haiji can't be refused. |
 |
| Haiji <333333 Run with him already, baka Kakeru >.> Typical "something happened in my past that I can't do what I love now even though it keeps eating away at me" type of backstory hahahah ;P he'll cave soon enough ^.^ Poor manga boi lmao. He's gonna need a lot of werk done on his scrawny self xD they should prolly have him run first if all 10 members gotta run :3 |
| The manga nerd is funny! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| It's becoming better and better! =) |

| Once again prefacing this with the fact that this is my fourth rewatch so I will be focusing on details. This is a buildup episode and we see Haiji's strategy to get the whole group to join the ekiden team through a series of humorous scenes. We are also given more insight into each character's personality and interests; in particular Kakeru's past. I really like how they differentiated past and present through the use of color by having his past be monochrome and faded colors except for the focus of his past trauma. Paired with this is ominous music. I also liked the Haiji is an oni joke, which is a repeating gag we see at the onsen scene and also when he gives Ouji the cardboard boxes which has a picture of an oni on it. I also particularly liked the line Nico-senpai said, about it being a change of pace (kibun ten kan). When I first watched kazetsuyo, this line stuck with me and I also wanted a change of pace. I think Nico-senpai was the first one to really want to join Haiji in running for the ekiden because of his past in track and field. We see that he is attempting to quit smoking by how Yuki couldn't smell the smoke. We also see he tried to see if he could still run like he used to by Yuki finding his sneakers in the shoe locker and when he ran into Kakeru at the park. I think a part of him longs to be who he was in the past, but he is afraid to meet it head on right now as he has not told Haiji he's interested in joining. But by the fact that Haiji has not talked to him out of everyone, perhaps Haiji knew he would be the easiest to sway out of the group. I would also like to note the details in the ED animation for the song "Reset". I love how it showed the passing of a year through the use of seasonal flowers (which hold value and is a part of the culture as Japan has four distinct seasons). In the beginning, we see Nira the dog with budded morning glories in the rain and it cuts to Haiji running and we see hydrangeas, so we can assume this is around June. Then we see yellow flowers which I am not too sure about but they might be canola flowers. Then we see Haiji running across the bridge past cosmos flowers, which bloom late August to early October. Then it cuts to him walking along the frozen riverbank in the winter while snow is everywhere. Finally, we see him running toward the sunrise. We realize it is summer again as he arrives at Aotake and the morning glories are in full bloom and there is hint of past rain with the rain puddles on the ground. (Note: morning glories bloom in summer). Till next time! |

| Haiji and Kakeru are both so stubborn haha |
 |
| I'm loving the ost and the comic scenes This ep felt better paced than the previous one and the artstyle is really beautiful |
| if you can't convince them, bribe them. he did manage to persuade the members, albeit against their will, but there's no point to it if motivation, determination and cooperation are absent. obviously this is where the premise and relationship/s start building up, so i'll be expecting drama very soon? not that it hadn't already started with Kurahara being way on edge. |
 |
| Lmao Haiji made me crack up so many times this episode, loved the bribes and how the bath just "broke". |
 |
| Characters are fine but I dislike very long introduction |
