Dec 31, 2021 Mixed Feelings
Honestly, I enjoyed it and all, but...
it needed to be gayer... It was Langa saying (in the dub) "Reki...my love *long ass pause* for skating has gotten stronger..." Like that's so gay, and yet they're "just bros" It wrote this at first to be funny but MAL says I have to write a longer review so here's the serious portion I guess. ... In all seriousness, gay-baiting is not cool and totally wack like Reki's horrendous skating skills. Like obviously I knew it wasn't gonna be any real type of queer, but a fudanshi can dream okay! T^T The music, specifically the background music and the skate racing music was phenomenal, the characters are enjoyable but a little underdeveloped for my standards, the only characters that got any really interesting or worthwhile character-building moments were Reki, Lenga, Shindo, and maybe Shindo's assistant whose name escapes me at the time of writing this review and it's 4 AM for me right now so cut me some slack. It almost felt like the main antagonist learned nothing at the end of the story! For me personally, the story is overall generic and predictable. I pretty much guessed every story beat except for the island episode. The show didn't deliver on certain matchups that would've elevated the show's established rivalries and the character's within said rivalries. Like a Cherry vs sexy-ass Joe matchup would've slapped! Or at least giving us a Reki vs Shadow rematch or Reki vs Langa, like guys this is basic shit here! Overall, the straights don't deserve SK8! And I'm gonna h8 so you better appreci8! 6 out of 10! (P.S.: The animation was phenomenal, but great art and sound quality aren't the only things that make a show good, I'm looking at you too Demon Slayer fandom. >-<)
