Prince of Stride: Alternative

The episode was decent, but why do I feel like it was a bit rushed? They should have shown a bit more of what actually happened. Not quite what I expected, but I'm not disappointed either, the overall experience was good. In my opinion its a solid 7.5/10 overall

Although the plot was somewhat predictable, the intense atmosphere during the race really makes me wonder what will happen? it was really interesting to watch. And the twists in the midst of the race caught me off guard though! Definitely worth the watch. I hope the final episode doesn't disappoint me.

I genuinely like how Riku's character was given so much in depth detailing about his past and how he really thinks and does things. But along the way, it got a bit annoying watching how his character was executed. As the finale draws near, I'm getting excited to see what will happen next

This episode really highlights the bonding between team members, it mainly focuses on Riku and Fujiwara, especially Riku and how he grapples with feelings towards his brother Tomoe. The funny moments and how everyone tries to smooth things over between both Riku and Fujiwara was so soothing to watch ✨

This episode really is an emotional rollercoaster, the surprise this new team has delivered was quite overwhelming. I was glued to the screen till the end, one of the best episodes so far. I wonder how the Honan Highschool team will tackle this overwhelming force. But the Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan's reference were really on point, very hilarious 😂

I can relate to this episode a lot, this episode covers their training arc before the finals. I'm a taekwondo athlete myself, and we also have joint training sessions with other teams. Their hardwork, the small moments and this feeling overall are something words just can't describe. A very refreshing episode to watch

Every time they are on the tracks and going all out, my heart starts beating faster than ever with excitement. Ichijokan Highschool vs Honan Highschool. Ichijokan's team manager is so cocky, definitely a villain material. As Kuga senpai is back on the team, this match was one hell of a banger match. The storyline so far is great, and I hope it continues to excite me more

This episode leans more into the emotional side rather than the comedic or the training side, diving into the backstory of Honan academy's past legacy Striders and it also unveils a secret even the old member Kohinata didn't know about. What happened to Honan academy? With one player still missing, will they get disqualified? Go watch for yourself!

The character development is done so nicely, Honan Academy vs Mihashi high school of saitama. Kadowaki faces his fear and shows real determination to win. The balance they kept between comedy and emotional depth felt just right. I genuinely like the Parkour style they showed. With every episode? Honan academy's stride club keeps getting stronger and stronger

This is so entertaining and interesting to watch, every move they used and how they tackled the obstacles were so intriguing to watch, they finally got their sponsorship and are ready to give it their best. The comedy scenes, along with their expressions were genuinely hilarious 😂. I felt really sorry for Kohinata 😂

Yagami and Fujiwara, this duo feels so natural, as both of them are the polar opposites of each other! One trains hard and the other just barely training. But how the story progresses and their first match at Kichijoji Spring Stride festival unveils, their determination to win comes through stronger than ever. I still feel like the pacing is a bit faster according to the plot, but it's manageable

Damn! Definitely worth the watch. The animation and the visuals were really eye catching, and the story build up and character introductions were done really well. The comedy and the backstory of the Honan academy were beautifully built and presented

Sedikit terasa terburu-buru pace diawal hingga pertengahan, mungkin karena ini adalah episode terakhir. Di pertandingan final ini, Riku memegang peran yang sangat penting. Vibe perlahan mulai intense, tapi juga terasa emotional karena dialog, scene, dan juga latar musik yang beriringan sangat nenyentuh hati. Peak banget episode final ini, berakhir dengan wholesome dan heartwarming.

Yang paling saya suka ketika episode pertandingan selalu gak bertele-tele dan selesai dalam 1 episode, jadi nontonnya gak ngebosenin. Dan sepanjang pertandingan lebih terasa emotional dibanding tegang. Perkembangan kemampuan tiap karakter dan juga inner monologue yang berdampingan bikin atmosfer semakin hype. Animasi dan latar musik juga saling support dengan baik, dengan scene akhir yang indah.

Riku ini sangat perlu perkembangan karakter supaya bisa mengalahkan masalah pada dirinya. Atmosfer sepanjang episode terasa uneasy dan gloomy, serta pace juga cukup slow. Memang Riku hanya perlu tempat untuk curhat aja, dan episode ini bisa berakhir dengan atmosfer serta momen yang hangat dan cukup emotional.

Karena kekalahan sebelumnya serta masalah dari tiap karakter, di episode ini vibe nya terasa awkward yang mempengaruhi dynamic beberapa karakter. Untungnya ada momen yang refreshing dan seru untuk memperkuat bonding tim. Berakhir dengan vibe yang kembali wholesome dan heartfelt.

Final episode yg menurut saya cukup epic karena sang MC akhirnya menyadari ini bukan hanya tentang diri nya tapi tentang tim!. Ia berhasil menghadapi ketakutan nya selama ini dan episode ini jujur tidak berfokus pada hasil tetapi pada perkembangan member honan academy. Efek motion blur, perpindahan fokus saat relay, serta close-up ekspresi para karakter memperkuat emosi.

Hari yg di nanti tiba, honan academy akan berhadapan dengan sang rival yg di hormati. Jujur di episode ini kita serasa menahan nafas karena pace, tempo serta vibes yg ditampilkan begitu cepat dan gila. Full strategy without provocation menjadi nilai plus. Tidak ada drama berlebihan di tengah balapan ketegangan dibangun murni melalui kecepatan, strategi, dan selisih waktu yang terus berubah.

Sang MC mengalami konflik dalam dirinya yg tentu membuat member tim cemas beruntung sang rekan berhasil meyakinkan nya dengan cara yg tidak lebay dan natural apa adanya. Episode ini hampir sepenuhnya meninggalkan kompetisi untuk berfokus pada konflik batin MC. Ritmenya jauh lebih tenang dibanding episode sebelumnya.

Plot mulai kembali slow disini setelah sebelumnya mengikuti pertandingan yg sangat intens, disini klub bersenang senang dengan mengunjungi salah satu rekreasi. Selain istirahat tujuan kegiatan ini untuk mengembalikan semangat serta chemistry antar member. Meskipun minim adegan Stride, Madhouse tetap mempertahankan kualitas visualnya. Fokus kali ini ada pada ekspresi wajah, gestur kecil, dan interaksi antarkarakter
