me gusta que todo empieza por interesarse por alguien que está lejos de ser la gran estrella de la competición. Komaki Motors es un equipo pequeño, con pocos recursos, y Haruka está peleando en condiciones bastante diferentes a las de los pilotos respaldados por equipos más fuertes.normalmente un anime deportivo te vende el sueño de la victoria desde el comienzo. Aquí siento algo diferente. Haruka corre porque quiere correr. Komaki Motors compite aun sabiendo perfectamente dónde está parado.

Episode 1 already delivers exciting racing action. The plot and pacing feel just right. Although I don't know the full premise yet, I have a feeling the storytelling will remain consistent right up to the final episode. Naturally, I find myself comparing the quality of this anime to others with similar themes, and I’m hoping this one offers something unique.

Solid first episode overall. I like the chill, slow pace at the beginning, where the cameraman, Kouya, was taking a look around at the drivers and their cars. Also, him asking how things work in a race, such as what the colors of the flags represent, is also a great learning lesson for me, since I don't know the rules of motorsport racing. We're treated with a great racing sequence later on. I have to add that the animation is really crisp and detailed, particularly the cars themselves. Time rev up the engines, because I'm looking forward to be in the driver's seat in this one!
