| Funny episode. Well, I hope Prince will survive this intense training. He will definetely need more butterflies. Looking forward to next episode. |
 |
| OMG! That Price guy is so relatable. And for only that reason, I think he will become my favourite character of the whole show. I don't mind doing any physical exercise or going hiking, but please don't tell me to run long distances, much less 10 KM!!! because I would literally end up pleading for mercy. xD |
 |
| Awesome episode, this show is my favourite for the season, it's nice to have a proper drama series. I do have one question though. So the girl runs down the hill and holds her skirt to stop a revealing panties shot. Then the guys state that main guy dating a highschool wasn't probable, as she is too young. Are we sure this is actually anime? |
| “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.” |
| Gahdamn I love this show, and pretty much all sport shows lol |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Evil brown-haired guy is officially an anime villain. |
| I'm seriously into this already and I'm veeeeeeery happy cause I don't think we've had a nice sports anime in a while. We finally see them running! I love these boys? They're all unique in their own way and I like that they're in uni. It makes it a little less cheesy (at least for me). I gotta say although it has been mentioned already, Kakeru is Kageyama 2.0 and he's so boring. I get zero vibes from him. And the cute kawaii bubbly manager is just ugggghhhh...they just can't help themselves, huh, they gotta have one. Ffs Haiji is a treasure, at least. What a sh*tface!! He knows exactly what he's doing and he's not going to back down until he has it all. Also for some reason it feels like they blew the entire budget on his face. Akane face first in the grass was so relatable I almost cried. Can't wait for more. |
| Great episode, Prince's shirt describes precisely his presence in the track team and his scenes are very hilarious. That guy in the end is probably one of the Kakeru's former teammates: I wonder how Haiji will react in the next episode. |
| One could say that Kurahara is kinda destroying the mood and all but to be honest: He is just being realistic. I liked how the twins actually confronted him directly. That was something I was actually looking forward to. ^^ P.S. This is my favourite series of the current season! (atleast so far) |
NdanHM said: _MushiRock11_ said: Good episode, it was hilarious to see King’s struggles and nice to see the intricate natural Character interactions between the cast. I lol’d when King came up with the glorious quote of the meaning of being true to oneself and the importance’s of that in deterring a person and his “Why?” shirt xD. The twin brothers getting completely fooled because of the girl is a big *facepalm* but hilarious nevertheless. Looks like we’re going to see the backstory of our main character next episode so I’m looking forward to seeing why he’s been so half-assed and reluctant when it comes to relays. On another note. to be frankly honest, this show is just not clicking in for me. I’m really enjoying the stunning soundtrack, great production value but the Character of Haiji and Kakeru has really been bothering me for a while now. I really liked and geniunely enjoyed the first episode but I just couldn’t seem to enjoy the later two as much. Haiji’s sheer persistence and narrow-minded dream forcing all the other members have been hilarious, for sure, but the way the other characters fall for them just makes it a drag to watch. It’d make more sense for them to leave the dorm than to actually keep up with Haiji’s selfishness. Regarding Kakeru’s behaviour though, the twins really hit the mark there, he’s been participating in the runs but actively discouraging the others in the meantime(irony, much?). Well, but that’s about it for the downsides, the rest has been pretty good so far. let me correct something King is Ppl who wearing Yellow Jersey Prince is wearing white shirt with phrase "Naze?" I’m aware of that, “Why” (translated to English) shirt like I mentioned above. |

Prince is me before and right after the gym. Poor guy. Couldn't help but laugh lol. As for the rest of the episode...well, I guess that's one way to motivate them! |
| damn! I can still tolerate the persuasiveness of Haiji, but if something happens to one of the members like injuries, who would take responsibility? there some things that aren't meant to force people to do that they can't do... 3/5. |
 |
Tsarko said: I love how they got motivated when the girl is present, reminded me a lot of my team lol. Prince should try switching his jeans with something more suitable for running. It would make it a bit easier for him. And that guy at the end looks like Matou Shinji to me. Wonder if they are both dicks as well, wouldn't surprise me. I'm glad I ain't the only one who noticed that he's a Shinji looking motherfucker™. |
| Haiji's antics are irritating, manipulating and headstrong Not a usual fan of sports anime, so this needs to convince me more to keep me onboard |
zwolf12 said: ArtG1 said: Omg hahaha poor Prince. I was laughing during the whole episode thanks to him XD. Loving every character so far. Wonder why Kurahara is still running with them, but still trying to demotivate them not to run the marathon. Because he would be running anyway. He was running before he met the guys and found the apartment, so why would he stop? Just his daily routine anyway. True, but he also participates in their routines and discourages them not to run? So my point is, why not just run a different route and let them be. I understand he just tries to be realistic. |

Well, that is what he did. He participated to see what this is about and ran alone after 3-4 days because he saw it was leading nowhere. I also don't think that he is saying that they shouldn't run (he obviously likes running), but he wants them to run for the right reasons and he just sees the reason they are given (a 20km highly competitive half marathon distance) as unreasonable and as someone with a decent knowledge in sports mechanics i have to agree. Maybe they could do that, but starting with a timed run every day will crush them before it gives them any benefits (in reality we will see in the anime). That method is ok for the people that are already trained to keep up their level to a decent point, but it is poison for people with no muscular experience. (you basically feed bad running habits if you run every day with sore muscels, because running is repetition and repeating something you can't repeat the right way because of aching muscles leads to unclean running which in turn leads to ineffective running, and lots of other medical problems) On the other hand for people that feel with Prince, he is so thin that he could be one of the best runners later on because he has no excess fat and will only build muscles (granted the right meals) and with the right training regimen could destroy shit in a few month (but not the way the train him right now, that would just destroy his body in reality and lead to way slower growth than keeping it slow at the start with shorter breaks in training later on). |
 |
| Definitely underrated gem of the season. Probably my favorite until now. I'm glad I picked it up. |
 |
| Hanako is a good addition to encourage the boys. Prince is the funniest member of the group. Why Kurahara wants to work alone? The guy at the end knows him. Haiji is still insisting about Hakone Ekiden lol. It seems that the race is very difficult as Kakeru says. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA" Is that a jojo's reference?? Good episode, the twins are my favourite characters. |
| i am kinda satisfied when the twins question kageya.. i mean kakeru. |

Thanks for the explanation! :) Didn't even know you'd basically crush yourself by starting with a timed run as a beginner :o. I just thought the twins' statements were interesting ('What are you afraid of? You're fast. Who cares? Run with us'). |
|
| I also want to know the reason why Haiji even started this mess but there's still like 20 episodes so I'm sure he'll have his backstory soon. They already kinda hinted at it in episode 1 with his injury. I'm just hoping the quality won't drop, animation, OST and writing has been top tier so far. |
| Hanako is cute but that name reminds me of the Japanese ghost that haunts bathrooms and all the hentais she's been in. I think Hanako might have a crush on Haiji, she seems to admire him but who knows? It might shift to Kakeru. Loved seeing the guys change their outlook on running altogether. Kakeru is more experienced but has a pessimistic attitude. I still want to know why he stole some yakisoba pan on the first episode. Best part of the series: seeing Akane, the Haruhara Haruko clone, die every time they went out to run. He's my favorite character now but I also like Musa, Kakeru, Nico-senpai, Yukihiro and the twins. Basically, I love everyone but Haiji is a little low on the list. He is determined and I find that awesome, I love determined people but the way he's going about with the guys is not cool. Then again, it's used for comedic purposes. |
| 臭い- |
| a new charactater appears, Kurahara friends or Kuraharas nightmare? Hilarious when the "Oni" said to the twins how many women can they get with just running the race!!!! kekeke |
Thorf said: "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA" Is that a jojo's reference?? Good episode, the twins are my favourite characters. I know someone would mentioned about the Jojo's reference ahaha |
| Shinji gotta try to stir up shit even outside of Fate. |
 |
| Shinji Matou Alter makes his appearance lol still a douchebag though |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Satisfactory this episode. I liked the story despite not being as intriguing as in the previous episode. The character of Haji remains the best, but also that of Ouji is emerging strongly by anonymity, however the rest of the cast is nice to follow; finally the feminine element has arrived and also the red round also here. LOL |
 |
| Oh, so Hanako will continue helping them? It was really funny when the guys got excited when Hanako showed up and then prince just stand there blankly lmao. Haiji is really sly, but he's so determined. The twins are correct, what makes Kakeru seems to be so afraid? I have a bad feeling about that red haired guy showed up in the end |

| They were tricked with a girl, lol. |
 |
| I wonder if that redhead is the guy in the flashback that was on the ground getting yelled at :3 The twins were right. Kakeru needs to chill and just give it a shot lol. He's good at running away, like Haiji said. Manga boi, gambatte! x'D |
| Lmao those twins are funny |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Seems like that red haired guy knows Kakeru... |
 |
| Finally a episode with Running from the last 2 buildups So everyone is really weak till now even Kurohara is slower than the elite runners Some brown-red head whom kurohara knows from past appeared my guess is he is a better runner than kurohara |
| it's still early in the series, but i do appreciate how Kurahara's complaints weighed with reason. they aren't dragged out and be made to look like angst (ahm Battery, you piece of shit). he has a point, it's reckless to go any further when the sole backbone of the team is one person whose reasons for joining are not even clear. i also do like how they didn't ditch the meetup in the first episode, and how Kurahara's living circumstances prevented him from turning down the offer. |
 |
| Prince pushing 5km under 16.30 seems impossible, I hope he doesn't just pull numbers from nowhere |
