How much longer are these two going to eye-fuck before they actually fuck?
>>138668793
After theywinEOS, they're going to lock themselves away in a love hotel for seven days and nights and screw until they break the headboard to make up for those past seven years.
Anyone else notice that Honan changed their running order?
>>138668951
They did it so Takeru and Riku could have that moment at the end. It's ridiculous.
>this thread will die before bump limit
>>138669216
Riku starting was obviously not working out. I would have had Kuga start over Kohinata, though.
>>138668864
The lingering fireworks scene in Free was gayer. I was expecting them to top it.
>>138669220
It's better that way.
>>138669420
You can go fuck off to an Umaru thread.
>>138669355
Oh, I'm sure next week's will blow that out of the water for gay. The hug limit's been broken, everything's up for grabs now.
>>138669460
Because I prefer threads where posts still have worth?
>>138669534
Better that than you posting worthless posts in this thread.
>>138668793
They're the least dynamic pairing on the show but alright.

>>138669759
They should concentrate on Kohinata and Ayumu instead of bullshit flashbacks like this.
>>138669759
Not compared to any dynamic with Nana.
>>138669789
>episode tries to show how important Takeru, Riku, and Nana were to each other as kids
>ignores Nana completely
>>138669789
Shota Takeru is a miracle.
>>138669821
Between the first years and Nana, no, but Nana has pretty good stuff going on with Shizuma that in my opinion is better than Takeru/Riku.
>>138670137
I want her to molest the Relationer from Kakyoin
>>138669851
I feel bad for Nana. She went from being the protagonist to just being there.

I fucking hate this shit so much. I wish Funi would fucking die already.
>>138670729
Sucks to be her. Her virtual non-existence has only improved things.
>>138671182
I hope that ugly bitch die before the end of the series.
>>138671111
Why the hell are you not waiting for orz?
>>138671877
Incredibly unlikely.
>>138672601
She could still be killed by a tile falling on her ugly deformed head.
>>138670729
If it were any other sports anime I'd say it's expected for the few female characters to be neglected, but when you're supposed to be an otome protagonist it's pretty sad.
Galaxy is releasing a new single?
>>138673361
Is any of their music going to be released?
>>138671111
Can anyone gif Riku's smooth slide that happened in this scene? Looked kinda funny to me.
>>138673297
They never said the anime would be otome like the game was. A foolish expectation if it was assumed to be so because otome anime never work out.

>everyone loses their 1v1 race

tired of this
Why dont the people waiting to run just slow walk ahead so they can get in position easier to slap hands?
is it against the rules to not run?
lmao ruffle
>>138675052
I hope they don't do this for the final.
It'd be great to see Honan blow them the fuck out.
>>138669220
Has ever made it to the bump limit?
Show seems pretty dead at this point.
>>138675190
I don't expect it to be much different than what we just saw against Saisei, though I do suspect it'll be a lot closer than their first race against Kakyoin. The real tell will be who runs against Tomoe.
>>138669684
That was so overly dramatic, Way to kill off best boy right from the beginning.
>>138675394
I think one thread managed it, the one for episode 2 because of the crossdressing and modeling. Episode 6's got close because of the trap on the other team getting mad notice.
>>138675457
He sacrificed himself for Sephiroth, it will not go unrewarded.
>>138675457
I was sort of surprised how it went for him. I figured it would be a classic "slow guy has no confidence, gets tested, learns how his friends need him, improve, etc" thing, and that he'd be an integral part of the team going forward. As great as it was seeing Kohinata crying over him, it's a shame he got shafted. That's what happens when he doesn't have a route in the game.
>>138675721
If it wasn't for the fact they HAD to insert Nana into this show, he'd have been their Relationer.
>>138675552
Oh right I remember that episode, that was pretty fun.
>>138675856
I think that was also when Heath got popular.
>>138675799
Nana was a mistake.
>>138675420
They're gonna switch Takeru and Riku so he can "connect his feelings" with his brother.
>Still no 720p release
>>138675899
I'm inclined to agree, since they've spent the past three episodes trying to shovel relevance into her and it just doesn't matter. This show is about the race, not about her must-find-my-place-in-Stride-so-daddy-will-forgive-me-for-being-born-a-girl or her all-of-a-sudden past history with Riku and Takeru that aliens erased from her memory until now.
>>138676128
She supposedly takes part in the races as the relationer but any attempt to make that seem important fell flat.
>>138676227
The position of Relationer is important; her sitting there isn't.
>>138676094
Now that you mentione it I had to get a 1080 release. That's odd, why isn't there a 720?
>>138674962
Speaking of which, there's that OST when it says "you make me feel alright", when is it going to be released? It didn't came out with the OP single.
>>138677105
If it's not on the OP or ED release, then I have no idea.
>>138677105
It'll be in the OST release, Normally shortly after the anime.
OP and ED single comes about mid-way.
If you're really curious you could check CDJapan or something for the release date.
>>138677401
Will do, thanks.
>>138677401
Cheers!
>>138677452
>>138677463
No problem!
>>138677544
Say what you want about this show, the guys are all adorable.
This weeks Vita wallpaper.
>>138677736
And some of the guys make even better girls.
>>138679342
All of the guys make better girls.
I forgot this show existed. Green is still best.
>>138680349
>>138672913
Damn.Someone's salty.
Least she's cute.
>>138681552
Wrong green, but not bad.
Would you a shota Heath?
>>138681671
Pick a green
>>138681718
The light blue team looks really gross.
>>138681758
Probably why they didn't get adapted into the anime.
>>138681718
Only 2, maybe 3 of those guys could be called green. You got something against Ayumu?
>>138681865
Yes.
>>138675799
Riku looks thirsty as fuck
Stride is sprinting + parkour right?
Why isn't it in the Olympics?

It's like she can't take a hint.

It's kind of embarrassing at this point.
She's quite the nonexistent main character.

I bet this series would have been amazing as 24 episodes.
Giving characters more time to be fleshed out, and flesh out all the opponents and enemy teams.
That might just be my wishful thinking though.
>>138686093
It wouldve helped if the sport wasnt shit. Also I found the direction lacking
>>138686210
The character designs are pretty good. I imagine if the series was given to a better studio things would have been amazing.
>>138683585
I think Asuma's pretty stunning.
>>138683193
This made me laugh more than I should
>>138686391
He's alright. I'm sick of highlights though. They've been ruined for me because of how popular they were here in the west some years ago.
>>138686391
He's great
>>138686821
>>138686866
If Galaxy Standard is just the stride team at Saisei, you'd think more people would join it, either so they could join the group or even just get close to some famous people.
>>138686284
I agree but the real wuestion is who?
>>138677736
Yeah. The show is flawed, but personally I wouldn't say it's unenjoyable.
>>138688418
Record contract probably has a stipulation that the team can never be bigger in size than the singing group is, so minimum and maximum are the same number.
>>138686284
What do you think would be the ideal studio for this kind of adaption?
Damn this ended up being surprisingly good.
>>138697361
I would be surprised if this series got some decent figures.
>thread's still alive
>>138697466
Figures for Riku and Takeru have already been announced.
>>138699014
I'm very okay with that as long as they don't look like total ass.
Who is the most popular character with the nips?
>>138699014
What company?
Also. Still no Chiyo from GSNK. Such bullshit.
>>138699275
Good question. Where would you even look that up?
>>138699854
I was looking at the official Twitter and going by RTs of each character's image but it's still not as reliable as a poll.
>>138699940
I tried google but couldn't find any sort of poll.
>>138699275
According to Girl'sStyle it's Reiji
>>138700258
>Miyano
Gee, how'd that happen?
>>138700258
Interesting. Thought maybe Yuri was the most popular, kind of like bow Ranmaru was the most popular with Inazuma Eleven series.
>>138700507
Yuri is probably the most popular amongst boys.
I want yuri to tease a group of boys in a sexual way.
>>138699402
Freeing

>>138700628
>not Kohinata
>>138668793
What is it with lowkey homos and fireworks?
>>138704247
When you can't show your bursting love externally, it must be done symbolically.
>>138704247
A beautiful light in the darkness of the mundane existence that despises you? Clearly it's metaphor like >>138704379 said.
>>138675052
Happens more often than you think in actual races. Anchor is always the fastest and most competitive person on a team so if there are any gaps that need to be closed, you have the guy most likely to close that gap running that leg.
But why is stride not exploding as much as free in popularity sense? I mean the homo aspects of this show are far greater than anything that happend in Free!. Just look at all the intertwined hands.
>>138707800
Probably the otomeshit source. The BD seem to selling well but probably because of seiyuufags wanting to go for the the VA event rather than fujoshits.
>>138707800
Everyone still seems to think Nana is the protagonist, even on these threads, when it's obvious that the anime made Riku the protagonist.
>>138707800
No Kyoanus brigade to back it
>>138707800
Osomatsu drawing in all the fujo attention?
>>138708308
That is pretty much all fujos seem to really care about right now. They can only latch onto one thing at a time and pour all their passion into that. It seems Stride just came at the wrong time.
>>138710231
I think it has to do with the fact that it's based on an otome game, as anon said above. People who like otome shows probably tuned in and decided they didn't like it, while fujos didn't pay any attention because of the source. It airing while Oso and Haikyuu are airing does not help.
>138712135
It's not like fujos wouldn't latch on to otome if it's gay enough, as Utapri shows.
It's not often I find enjoyable gems like this. I had a blast watching this episode. Just seeing two friendly team competing and doing their best to win with no hostile feelings between eachother filled me with a warm and pleasant feeling. I'll miss this show when it's over. Having the best ED of the season also helps.
>>138686210
>It would've helped if the sport wasn't shit.
I liked it. Though that might be because I can relate. It's more of a running anime than a parkour anime.
>>138714879
It's been pretty spectacular. I, too, will miss it once it's over.
Anyone else feel that the flashbacks during the race just killed the tension?
>>138717662
For this race, not so much. This wasn't a time to be amping up the tension, that's for the next one. The shared-amnesia asspull was what felt out of place.
>>138713035
The difference is that UtaPri seemed to be more popular before its adaptation, look at the ranking someone posted above, an UtaPri guy is in first.
>>138710231
That's the problem with a lot of anime though.
>>138700017
He can do everything
>>138714879
>>138716062
I have no idea why, but for some reason this may be the show I look forward to most every week.
>>138723850
It's a fun show, drama and all.
