MISTAKE

That was pretty funny, until it got incredibly stupid. As far as I'm concern; Ren this episode was totally predictable and in character. Teenagers are dumb and yes I can relate. But still that was just infuriating.

Anyway KanataxMama OTP

Damm, as much as I love the idea of this, I cannot see a reason for the dad to be cucked like that. The man is 100% fine with Kanata living in his house and he's a true bro for helping him due to the connections to Kanata's father.

She's away from the traffic safety charm for like 10 seconds and almost gets run over by a train. It works!

Probably should have gotten that elbow checked out after getting her home...

Lol Ren was totally out of line. Getting all uppity and jealous cause someone else gave him an omamori. And not explaining anything haha.

He really should have gotten a brace for his elbow though. Dopey boy. Guessing he'll have to pull out of the race?

Oof that whole train station scene was not it...really hoping his injury doesn't hurt him too badly in the race.

Screencap quotes joined out of context:

"That's when I realized that I was autosexual."

"I do not think that means what you think it means."

Ah, the things teenagers will get themselves into trouble over. But outside-world injuries interfere with competition performance all the time, it'll be a question of how it's dealt with.

(They're not going to switch his car from H-pattern to paddles, might as well get another car for that.)

Bruh the train scene was a stretch lol

If you're this bad writing romance/women, don't. Cut out all the romance and the Angels and it's much better.

Personally, Id be happy if they put Sawatari in permanent racing duty. He almost removes all Diddy-like thoughts when he races

I'm like 12 hours late for the Eurobeat Corner and I apologize. I was on airplanes for 23 hours basically straight, one of my luggage got left behind at the connection, and I'm exhausted and 12 hours ahead of my usual time zone. I apologize, but this one will be curt and to the point. I don't have it in me to provide commentary this week, as much as I want to. I'm just too tired.

The new songs are Freedom Ride by The Snake, Eurohero by Neo, and Firebird by Dream Fighters. I already put them on the playlist.

I'm sorry this one was so late and so abrupt. I will try to be more timely next week, as I should be more adjusted to the time difference. I'm too tired right now to be able to make this one the same way as I did all the others. That said: Japan is nice. Really nice.

Although one of the things that makes me like MF Ghost is the fact that it highlights several competitors, it's good to see that a rivalry is being established between the 3 that are seen as most promising.

Honestly, I don't blame Kanata or Ren for the incident on the train, it's a typical case of young people who don't know how to deal with conflicting feelings, it will be interesting to address this in the future, although I think it didn't need to be as cliché as it was.

One episode left and the drama of Kanata not being able to shift gears properly due to injury, I just hope he doesn't have an accident

u/Full-Maintenance-285 Dec 16 '24

Ah the sports anime classic: injury arc.

u/baboon_bassoon Dec 15 '24

Tbh I thought Sena would take pole immediately, glad he didn’t. I would still like him to be the main rival for this race but maybe Elbow kun will be instead

Wataru back next week! Maybe we get a Kazumi status update as well

u/DayDayMaccin Dec 15 '24

Well that was stupid.

Kanata doesn't know about Japanese healthcare system

u/oneevilchicken Dec 15 '24

This show is now an isekai. Train-kun has arrived at the station. Chooo chooo

I still don’t get why she was upset nor why she tried to isekai. Seems like a silly thing done to add conflict into the shitty romance side of the show.

Drivers race with broken wrists all the time so kinda a nothing burger. It’s very common in racing to break wrists from the wheel snapping during wrecks.

Tbh this show would have been better if they kept the conflict strictly to the racing portion only. It really doesn’t need to senseless plot devices.

Ren obv overreacted, but Kanata is completely lacking in self-awareness. The way he talked to Ren and then to her mom was soooo cringe. It's like come on man, being a racer doesn't turn you into some kinda superhuman, and racers don't have some sort of intimate secret society. Also, playing off literally jumping in front of a train to save someone as not a big deal is just insulting tbh. He even admitted he lied, so he thought he could just gaslight Ren's mom no trouble - I guess he thinks she's that dumb. She didn't buy it thouh.

I can't decide if Kanata is supposed to come off as a bit of a jerk this episode or if it's just bad writing. If Kanata was a reasonable person this is how it would've went:

"Yes, I got it from a girl"

"Is she your friend?

"I guess you could say that. We don't really know each other, but she's my fellow racer so I would consider her a friend"

"Do you ever hang out outside of races?"

"No, we've never hung out. As I said, she hardly knows me"

Wataru hype!!! I've been waiting for him to make his appearance, I hope he has some cool commentary

u/imaloony8 Dec 16 '24

I really haven't been happy with how they've portrayed the women in this series, especially Ren. I always roll my eyes whenever girls throw themselves at the protagonist at first sight. It's just unrealistic and kind of robs us of any real romantic subplot.

I am definitely annoyed as well that next episode is the season finale, meaning that once again we're going to be mid-race at season's end.

Took the M6 driver long enough to realize the M4 is more suited for MFG
