Season 2, Episode 15

Get off the road! Why in the world spoiler[were all the spectators all over the roads? Did they want to be part of the race too so they throw their hands out in the way of the racers]?

And what ridiculously spoiler[reckless riding, riding until the lack of oxygen blurs your vision and keep going until you cras]h. Sure the race is important but it is not wspoiler[orth putting their health in danger], their advisor needs to nock some sense to a couple of them.

Spectators stand in the road all the time, especially on climbs.

Aren't they doing exactly what Midousuji did and said was evil?


nobody in the anime said Midousuji was evil. They actually respect him. I'm still waiting for Midousuji to make his move.

Season 2, episode 16:

Whoa, I just loved the balance of the episode. spoiler[The intimidation that Shunsuke shows towards Hakone's Juichi was quite something. And somehow, I think it's working.]

Same goes for spoiler[Makishima. I think it's really fun seeing how they are taking the fight against Hakone in full force this episode. It was definitely interesting to see a bit of Shunsuke's past this episode too imo. Good thing this show has room for characterization during this race and focuses on them on individual levels.]

spoiler[Naruko went down.]
Now Sohoku is riding with half of their team left.
spoiler[Imaizumi is the new ace] now.
Things got pretty heated up with Hakone guys.
spoiler[Imaizumi kept attacking & Fukutomi was at his wits end.
Damn, that Imaizumi sure is something.]

The flashback to his past was interesting too.

16 Excellent episode! It reminded me why I like this series. Even the flashback didn't feel like it dragged down the momentum or destroyed the tension like so many of them have. It felt more like a reflection of his spoiler["it's quiet out in front"] mood.

Also, the contrast between his younger self and his current self was instructive. Cycling is magic!

Poor spoiler[Ishigaki, always left behind.]

spoiler[Midousuji vs Manami!
That was an interesting duel.
Using nature to get ahead, what a brilliant move!
Onoda still holding on.. somehow.
Flashbacks to training days were well placed.
Looks like Midousuji was impressed/shocked that Onoda caught up.
Great episode!]

Well damn, I lost about a week worth of posts...

Good episode this week though in regards to spoiler[Sakamachi and Makishima. I know Sakamachi might not be the best rider of this race but his spirit is very strong and his determination is inspiring. Now we just need some Hime song~]

Ha, I was actually right about what Manami had up his sleeve! (though my prediction is lost to the ether now)

But that's the sign of a true competitor! spoiler["What? You've got wings?! Well...well...I can grow wings too! So there!"]

will drop this anime if Midousuji loses to those two since I'm not really into Flashback Pedal.

The secret is that Manami's water bottles actually contain Red Bull.

Season 2, episode 19:

Gotta give spoiler[Sakamichi some credit for going all out this episode.] Regardless win, loss, or tie, I'm sure his HIME would of been proud of him.

What a race this has been now Very Happy I just also love this face at the end here:

spoiler[Imaizumi] passed the mountain checkpoint first.
Only 6km to go until the finish line.
spoiler[Onoda] did some off road sliding.. cool save!
He really put it in high gear after that.
That spoiler[kid] keeps on impressing!
spoiler[No wonder he finally received some recognition from other riders.]
It's time to go for the finish line!
spoiler[Imaizumi was epic! Midousuji] might have met his match.

A lot of the flashback in the first season (which is as far as I have read in the manga) came out of order compared to the manga, but I think the anime actually does a better job of utilizing them.

I am somewhat disappointed that the season will likely end at the end of the first Interhigh, but on the other hand, racing episodes (which is basically every episode but the first three of season one, give or take, lol) make for the best workouts. Hahaha.

I did like this episode though... it's nice to see Midosuji be the butt of someone else's abuse for once.

One thing about possible translations... "launch pad" would actually best be translated as "leadout," which is the term they use in the English cycling world.
