Yeah so i don't know why this Anime is not being more talked about. I was skeptical at first because "lol sports anime that isn't Hajime no Ippo?". But as soon as they entered inter-high it became very interesting. This is probably my Anime of the season, characters really grow on you.
From Wikipedia:
Sakamichi Onoda is an otaku, an anime obsessive, who has just entered high school and plans to join the anime club. In middle school Onoda did not have any friends with whom he could talk about anime, games, Akihabara and other otaku things and is hoping he can make such friends in the anime club, but he finds out it has been disbanded. In order to reestablish the club he tries to find 4 other people who would like to join.
Since he was a little boy, Onoda has ridden his mamachari ("City Bike" AKA "Mommy Bike" in the anime) – a bulky bicycle with a step-through frame mainly used for short rides, such as for casual fun, to pick up groceries or to go to Akihabara every week to check out or buy otaku things. His fellow freshman, Shunsuke Imaizumi, a cyclist, while training, notices Onoda riding his mamachari up a steep road.
ShÅkichi Naruko, visit Akihabara to get some Gundam plastic models for his younger brothers and he meets Onoda, who caught his attention because of the his cycling skill on the mamachari and later finds out they go to the same school. Later on, both Naruko and Imaizumi try to convince him to join the bicycle racing club, but will he?
I started watching it last week, and it's better then I thought it would be. Although it can be a bit over the top and silly sometimes it's quite enjoyable.
WHAT IS THIS... AN ENTIRE EPISODE WITHOUT MY SOHOKU BBIES?! who makes this shit. Finally they are together as a team. only 2 episodes left.. and I'm waiting and totally excited to see my bbies catch up and hit midousuji in the face where it HURTS the most.. also been waiting to see Makishima making his most awesome drafting moves up close while having his long godlike hair blow in the wind..
and in my dream I was hoping team Sohoku would sing hime while catching up and jfkhdkladja frustrated and now there is only 1 episode left.. and I have to wait half a year for season2.. Someone tell me the manga is way ahead! the manga better be updated, scanlated and released so I can get my spoilers to make up for this. but but.. good thing HAKONE IKEMEN making comeback and owning Midousuji!!
