Mayuka said: true! Hozumi sounds so different than kuroko :o^ LOL Yes. Entire KnB cast here! Kimura is pretty much using the same voice he used as Kise, which is great! Seems like other characters don't have the same personality though. |
| I enjoyed the episode. Got an introduction to the main characters and got some action as well. Can't wait for episode 2! |
| The first episode is quite interesting and I like the character design. I hope I will get to see more awesome scenes from this series in the future. 4/5 |
 |
| it was okay the op was kinda good |
 |
| Love the colors!! |

| Hopefully this doesn't become a really cheesy reverse harem show. Since I don't really enjoy reverse harems hopefully the reverse harem won't be the main point. |
| Running is one of my favorite sports so, i like this show. well, for the first episode, i guess it was alright. they made it look good, or they started it in a good way. that race at the end though. great race! GG! Edit: And almost forgot the soundtrack. tbh, i really love the soundtrack that the director choose. it was really perfectly fit for this show. |

| Pretty good first episode. Stride seems really interesting and entertaining to watch. The color palette is bright and vibrant and the anime is an original concept as well. The characters seem likeable as well. The first race was really cool even if it was pretty small. Got hopes for some intense fast paced, adrenaline pumping racing action down the line. |
 |
| Love this first episode, simple but effective, the visuals reminds me to FREE (aah I like that anime), and that is a mix of racing & pankour is cool, solooking foward to it. |
| Art in this looks great and story looks good so far too. Can't wait to see 2nd episode. |
| Alright episode, will keep watching. Just kinda seems like a over glorified relay race with some parkour/freerunning. I also get quite the reverse harem feel with there only being 1 girl. |

melodisz said: Nice OP. Other than the seiyuus, it was just ok. Would love to see more sports, not romance. It's essentially based on a dating sim for girls (otome), so it will be a shoujo anime. 1-cour, inconclusive adaptation that will cover the common arc of the game. Sign me out. |

| Nice first episode! Liked the OP and the running was so intense. Can't wait for next week, woo!! Slightly cliché but really enjoyable |
| Pretty exciting and upbeat. Went beyond my expectations. |

phoenixalia said: Z4k said: Nah, not gonna bother with this one. Although it's still a shame Atsuko Ishizuka's talent is being wasted on shows like this. Yeah, what a shame that shows like this aimed at women get a great budget and a great studio. These kind of shows should stick to studios like Studio Deen. /sarcasm Calm down. I'm talking about the director not the studio itself. |
Lestat- said:  An actualized representation of me watching sports anime. Preach! LOL For this one I thought it was just ok though but they got me interested and I will continue to check it out. |
| Finally there is an Parkour/Free Running anime. |
 [アウサマ95] |
| Pretty fun first episode... Kimura Ryouhei is basically Kise again but is doing Stride lmao Art looks great too! |
| Totally better than my expectation. Great start for this season. |
 |
| Loved the 1 episode That Stride race was really something I didnt know running could be that fun I cant wait until they run all over the city |

| Very enjoyable first episode in my opinion definitely going to continue this :) 8/10 |
| hmmm....i enjoyed it more than i thought i would...the race at the end was nice.....but still only 7-7,5/10 for me....for now... |

faradeika said: Riku + Takeru vs the other two!сool. But I dont understand. Who's who was in the 2 vs 2 battle team |
| BASED MADHOUSE! The op song is NICE 10/10 The character interactions are so GOOD. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) all that leg touching ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Glasses boy will be the most underrated boy :'(  All that preparation for a race and the race was good. The 3rd years didn't even run out of breath XD damn :O |
 |
| The sport isn't that interesting to watch, not enough strategy. Okay first episode. |
 |
| This was pretty damn cool and I love the premise of free running/parkour, but god damn the fujoshi pandering was strong. And the main brunette guy was irritating as fuck. Also, this probably would have worked better if it was set in an Urban setting (like Air Gear for example). |
"Hi!" |
danae_97 said: Its nice to have simple characters in a sports anime from time to time, they dont necessarily have to be complex.Kinda meh characters so far, but I really enjoyed the race. Anyway, nice start. Loved the animation and the clubs revival |
| Good start, really like the characters and surprisingly even the main heroine. I really hope it focuses more on the sport than romance, I can't stand shoujo's or harems (like diabolik lovers ugh) don't let me down madhouse! |
 |
| I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Characters are cliché and I'm not a big fan of sports anime but the stride/parkour got me hyped and everything is so colourful! I hope we get to know more the characters in the next episode. |
| Noragami reading/watching order: http://blessedyuki.tumblr.com/noragami-guide "2016 will be the year of Sanji" - Eiichiro Oda |
| Liking this already |
 |
| That was.... fast?! lol. thats my only opinion as of now.. |
| Quite an intense episode. Yagami isn't my favorite type of guy, and especially not with Kimura Ryohei voicing that sort of character. I mean he fits those characters really well but idk, I just personally don't like that specific combo. I would feel the same way if Shimazaki voiced Takeru, and thank goodness he isn't. OnoKen used his Nayuki voice here it seems, I like the combo (the voice and character). As for the story itself, club revival obviously isn't the most original premise out there, but the content was exciting at least. Really looking forward to the next episode! |
| It was pretty good. Hopefully its going to be this good all of the season... |
| Parkour Armin you're in the wrong anime. |
| MADHOUSE delivers again! Really enjoyed the 1st episode & looking forward to the rest :) Ayumu sounds like "Keima" from "TWGOK" imo. |
| just watched the episode with subs..well, it was good enough to make me wait to the next episode.. the characters seem generic yet likable. the visuals look so goddamn good, as expected from NGNL director..also, the animation and the OSTs were very nice..especially during the race.. OP was kinda good..but..c'mon Madhouse..I dont wanna hear Overlord's OP again in a sports anime..>_> I don't usually watch sports anime since I dont like long ass dragged matches..but this one looks fine to me since the matches will probably be short and exciting at the same time.. well.. I'll give it 6.5-7/10 for now..hope to see some epic races in next episodes.. |
| I thought the first ep came out very strong, the animation is great, characters are very unique. It's got a lot of potential, i'm looking forward to the next ep! [ *update the anime is shit |
