Although I prefer to see things from Takumi's perspective. It's a nice change of pace to see what was going on with the other characters during that time.

Tits are important to have a good anime.
This did a great job at that.

This shows how much of an idiot Iketani was for not contacting her and cleaning the air. He could have had her anytime.

Glasses guy already lost his racing spark, he was looking to settle down and making babies. The girl still wants to have some fun dude.

*sigh* these two episodes were a bit of a disappointment. Iketani no Baka. Well at least the OST was decent like always.

Great episode: it's nice having a mountain episode instead of a beach episode every once in awhile. The questioning about what it means to race was also interesting. In a way the mix of reflexions and feelings foreshadows the kind of character development we got in the movie, but I find the more balanced way it was done here better.

Mako on a snowboard: 10/10.

This was a good side story. Was nice getting some development based on the Blue Impact girls.

This was such a ridiculous misunderstanding. Why didn't she call? Why didn't he call? If they both thought it was "over" then they had nothing to lose by calling... :(

I liked this OVA because it fleshes out the series more by giving us a different point of view and some depth for the side characters :)

It's nice that they focused on the romance part, yet not really going farther than that or getting back to any previous connections! That said it still was a nice episode and do wonder what the sequel will have to offer!

And boy that service!

Never thought a car anime would include an obligatory hot springs scene. :/

Mako doesn't need a copilot.

6/10 (above average) same as the rest
Oops, I watched this after 3 (movie).

Poor Mako really doesn't have any luck with men, first it was Iketani that ruined it all with his inferiority complexes, then a guy that seemed nice and serious, but was conceited enough to ask her to stop racing, when he knew himself that what he was doing was wrong. I liked the way she answered him though, and it's a pity Keisuke didn't see her racing, I thought that was the reason the Takahashi Brothers got a scene in the first place, I wish Ryousuke would invite her to his team, since he wants the best from Gunma, she's certainly a must, but it seems that for some reason he doesn't know her, and it's a pity.

Wow, that was surprisingly boring. The entire episode revolved around her boring love life..

Well it was a fine development. Of course they had to shove nudity all over the place.

Fine episode, but really boring to be honest. I liked the first one way more.

The Night Kids member should've known better than to tell Mako to quit. Iketani wouldn't have said that...

Ah, so this is actually a bridge between Second Stage and Third Stage, the lonely driver xmas party was happening concurrently with Takumi saving Mogi I think?

I am upset for the guy Mako shot down. But in all sense, he did deserve it, never try to dictate someone in a relationship especially when you're still proposing to her.

Good special.

Yes, not exactly my favorite, first part was also better, but was a bit refreshing!

Hmm.. nice.. he was such a considerate and kind person who could've made you happy your whole life, and you reject him outright cuz you too hung up with cars, well nice decision, you like the world of savages. That's what I observed of her rejection on him.


Albeit, I'd much preferably look at things from the perspective of Takumi. Seeing what the rest of these characters went through in that period is a good change of pace.
Thanks for the uncensored clips too XD.

Iketani missed this opportunity... scenes, scenes, and more scenes... than that in

the Night Kids member went too far with those words, I felt that. You can't force someone you like to not like, she did the right thing.

It did her good to give him an honest answer.

7/10
