| This series is probably one of those that gets under spotlight in every season. This first episode is interesting, we see every racer and their brief background. However the anime will obviously focus on Madoka, at least so far. I hope they will show lots of good races in the long run. |

When I think of mobile/moving chicanes I guess I think of the dudes perpetually in the back 20, not someone qualifying tenth. They're doing good for a self funded team with barely any sponsorship. Don't know if it needed to be framed from a traumatized photographer perspective though I guess I'm curious where they go with it. Haru is perfect character design |

| Nice first episode a half way between F4 cars and a traumatic photographer!!!! kekeke |

| Felt really bad for Haruka, the team probably don't have any spare tires to use after qualifying since it's self-funded and those usually have limited resources |
| This is great so far. Had to do other stuff the previus 1-2 weeks and still catchinp op on the new stuff. Planned to go with all episodes 1 first. Then moving to the 2nd episodes. But here I had to watch the 2nd episode immediately. Like the mature main char (older and with an ex-wife) - and the setting. I am not into racing the the background story would get interesting here. I bet the main was focused on photographing an incident and did not really help ... only taking pics. Then got blamed leading to problems. From the calm/serious moments it felt a bit like a mix of the anime with the dictionary + the one with the marathon. |

| @Mariklyn It's an altered version of the Godfather Theme, probably to avoid copyright issues. Hence the joke about the horse head that came a few seconds later. |
| Oh man, what an episode. Seems like a lot of care has been put into this and wow, pre-production started 6 years ago. One of the highlights of the season for me. |
| Worn tires after qualifying? They are supposed to start with new? |
| A racing F4 anime, how rare it is, it looks very decent so far, don't know how the photograph guy will do in the next episodes though |
