kinda got into this type of story it coz of 'Nasu summer in andalusia' .. and so far animation has been good, i like the way the characters act and interact with each other lots of fun moments there. this is definitely my current fav sports show his season. Cool

Episode 18 was soooo good. How many episodes are there suppose to be for this series? Seems like it can go on for longer than 50 episodes.

This anime is so funny I really like it. I thought the beginning of the anime was a big difference from most sports anime. Instead of starting out with a race or talent exposure of some sort you actually first get to know the main character better.

i like this series too^^

but since i am waiting for mendoi, i'm not that far yet...

Shinozaki is realy funny...as like when he tries to act cool from time to time and makes some strange faces...

Afterall, the fate of the world rests on my pitching....the world sure isn't worth much these days.

Wow, 18 was awesome...

Even though he won the mountain King part, i wonder if he will be able to finish the race =(

what??!! it's already up to episode 18? /cry

ep24... just 2 more eps to goo......

really glad this is getting subbed at all, but yeh ive seen the raws till the last episode, sad to say tho that its all downhill from here for shinozaki, that mountain award that he took was his defining moment as well as the peak of the story..

well still cant wait for the last ep, i vaugely undrstood what was going on but i think it had something to do with a confession that nearly succeeded in shinozaki's part.. and a last scene that flash forwards from what we saw on ep1 plus...

This anime was Great! I thought it might go in to second season, but then they show that tour clip at the end so I really doubt it..

They could have an in between story though, I'd love to see some more background stories for the characters =D

Yes, finished. Finally after all that time. I have to admit this show is really good. One of the underdogs too, imo. It's sad though, I bet the manga keeps going much further than what we get to see. I think Asahi joins the club around volume 6 or 7? From what I can remember reading... Anyway, the manga is up to volume 26.... So technically, if they wanted to make a second (probably a third considering the amount of content 26 volumes has) season they could do it. I just wished there were raws of the manga and a group was scanlating it.. At this pace, the best thing any of us can hope for is a second season, buy import manga and attempt to read it or wait for english manga to be released here in the US.

This series was great either way. Personally I want to see Shinozaki grow as a bicyclist and see the romance between him and Yuki. I mean, after seeing the end of episode 26, it's kind of obvious that they are going to go all the way and Shinozaki is going to be a good bicyclist. It's how he gets there that makes the story good.
