Story 10: Yowamushi Pedal is a sport anime. Generally speaking, this is not my type because the genre I usually watch is either mystery or action. But because of my curiosity of this anime, I give a shot for this. This is a cycling-based sport anime and I thought it is a boring one because it is just about pedaling a bicycle but this anime exceeds my expectation. The story is about an otaku first year student who wants to join anime club however the anime club in that school was abolished due of lack of members. As the story goes, he met some people who help him polished his hidden potential which is cycling. As I continue watching this, the intensity I feel is rising every episode. A lot of intense episodes which drawn me into its world. I feel like I am one of those spectators. Overall, the story itself is very good and well-written also a lot of lessons about sportsmanship and friendship can be learned from this anime.
Art and Sound 10: The art and sound of this anime is also good because it feels realistic.
Character 10: Characters in this anime are all well-developed. They are very hilarious and they are very funny in the after credit scene. I'm glad that they made a short scene after credits because that can ease the intensity of every episode. On the other hand, aside from the main characters, the other characters are consistent throughout the series. The main characters are developing every episode and they are too good. The timing for developing the potential of each main character are well done.
Overall 10: Only two words that I can say to this series. "INTENSE" and "RIDICULOUS".
