Prince of Stride builds upon the fundamentals of sports anime and brings a more dramatic and innovative approach to the genre. Prince of Stride is revolutionary in a lot of ways and I feel it can convert many who don't watch sports anime to give it a try. SPOILER "FREE!" (it's a free anime joke)


Story:10
This show goes above and beyond what it would have to do to deserve a great rating for its story. Everyone has a unique story that is connected to at least three other people in the main group of the stride runners. There's not really any backpedaling with flashbacks so it's very fluid. All the main stories are pretty interesting however a lot of them don't gain momentum until towards the end of the show so hold out if you feel a lack of story in the beginning. While it doesn't come off as one originally, Prince of Stride has great comedic elements that made me KEK so KEKING hard that I KEK'd until my sides hurt.



Art:10
If you've seen any clips from the show or maybe the PV's you'll know what I mean when I say this show is vibrant and beautiful. The color scheme is very pleasant and the animations are smooth throughout the entire show. Not much else to say in this area.



Sound:10
I'm not an expert on what makes a soundtrack great but the songs were catchy and did a great job of expressing the themes that weren't visible.



Character:
All of the characters are pretty interesting in their own ways. The show doesn't feel like it has a lot of forced emotions and the characters stay true to themselves throughout. There's a lot to say but it would spoil the show and I want to make sure this remains spoiler free.


Pros and cons:
Pros
-No fanservice
-Great OSTs
-The fucking KEKs

Cons
-No second season
