Pretty simple and straight forward OVA I guess. I haven't read the manga so not sure how well this was adapted. Well, this guy sports some weird green hair:


OVA reminded me a little of Overdrive. The OST is okay I guess. I sense a bit of the intensity from the riders though. Seems like the MC is pretty determined in what he's doing :3

This green haired guy reminds me so much of the annoying guy in Shiki! I guess is the chin lol

It looked good, the antagonists look crazy.

This was a nice OVA. That interaction between Onoda and Makishima in the beginning was funny.

I enjoyed it a lot, but that being said, I have seen the anime up until current (ep 18); Had I walked into this first, I probably wouldn't have understood anything. Doesn't have enough as a standalone; and considering it aired before the anime, I dropped it from a 5/5 to a 4/5;

Very enjoyable watch though

Great OVA. The interactions between Onoda and Makishima are so funny~
Hyuga Junpei: “Yeah… I’m confident… Because my teammates will help me out! I can shoot confidently.. because it will be okay even if I miss!”

Kagami Taiga: “I don’t know about being the bad guy or whatever. It’s only in stories where titles like that decide the loser. This is our show. We’re the ones who are writing the script.”

Fun fun fun :D

Makishima and his anti-social personality having to try and getting closer to Onoda was lol.
But he chose the wrong way to approach XD Talking about anime = he is screwed hahaha. Onoda entering otaku mode was hilarious lol. Poor Maksihima ^^;

The race was nice. Really nice rivalry between the 1st years and 3rd years :D

Loved how Onoda got hyped after getting his sticker back. Dat smile was lol XDXD

Intense ride with Maki. But he lost by a bit. Still can't get over Makishima's climbing style hahaha.

Was nice to see that Onoda defeated Imaizumi and Naruko in the climb. It really has become his specialty ;) Really can't wait for Inter-High :D

For those who wonder, I suggest watching this after episode 21 of the anime. It is before the Inter-High race and after Team Sohoku has chosen their members

From reading the posts, this is more a stand-alone story that looked it condensed the first 15 episodes?
What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Very amusing episode, I love Onoda's reactions when it comes to anime :D
Mashi is still king of the hill though ; )

From what I understand, this is supposed to be watched after episode 19, which I did. Weird that this aired before the series, 'cause it wouldn't make much sense without any development

I was dying about Makishima being stuck with Onoda while trying to be nice but really getting annoyed. So good, I was wiggling around in delight by the conclusion with the second figure. xD

Even an OVA, I still have a problem with it, especially Miki. "Oniichan staph da car, Imma run to chase someone on a bike in a mountain area (dangerous)". I doubt Onoda would turn back to find his sticker during a practice session, that just doesn't seem like him at all, he wouldn't dare to disobey his senpai. I always have problem with Onoda, or anyone else for that matter, to miraculously catch up to someone. Though, I really like how they position the members during the hill climb, Onoda and Makishima on the front, they are climber so obviously they should be on the front. I don't like how Onoda is giving Makishima a fight tho, he is not there yet.

That said, I liked Onoda's funny moments. The Manami guy, I didn't quite notice it before, but his character design is beautiful compare to the other characters from this series, from his face to his hair and hair colour.

Just Sohoku team doing some Interhigh training where we also got to see Onoda putting on his trademark sticker (I guess? since we see it often) on his bike. Makishima is really nice friend for playing along with Onoda's otaku side.
