A break from the usual racing and finally more Ren x Kanata. It was great to have more of their dynamics. Waiting for them to get together eventually. Emotional moment for Kanata at the end there too.
Do you?

Calm and peaceful episode, except the part where that grandma drive, it's almost like this anime parody itself.

Nice visit to the Grandmother's house in the country. Kanata acting like a kid over the dragonflies reminds me of myself as a kid. LOL ( but catching dragonflies is harder than hell!) Also, yeah, riding that truck like that on those roads? LOL Nice resting episode.

surprisingly enjoyable for what can be called a filler episode. I love slice of life.

I wonder what upgrades GT86 gonna get. He said rebuild engine for durability and aero. I will bet as aero he wil install flat underbody panels for lower coefficient of drag rather than downforce components as it would help top speed. As for engine, I think its too early and costly for new pistons etc. It would be quite smart to install a dry sump system I'd say. Especially the way Kanata corners it would really help to preserve the engine. Lets see

Rei's Grandma is a really kind lady and I enjoyed Kanata and Rei relaxing in the countryside for this slice-of-life style of episode after last week's epic finale of the third race.

Even though this episode was relaxing, we did get a short and, rather epic, segment of Rei's Grandmas driving her little kei truck along the narrow roads with Kanata and Rei in the back of the truck. Grandma used this time to flex her skills by even whipping out some heel and toe action on the pedals as she drove along at good speed. Even here, the eurobeat music kick in and made this scene a memorable one!

It wasn't all about relaxation, though, as the plans for the fourth race are underway and the talk of upgrading the GT86 are on the cards, too. I do wonder what upgrades the car will get this time, depending on what Kanata wants for it. It does make me look forward to seeing what the other racing drivers have planned as well, from new upgrade parts or even new cars entirely.

Poor old hi-jet getting all 62 horsepower wrung out of it by Obaachan! I bet it’s been tuned at some point in the past tho. Nice bonding episode but Ren’s definitely acting 15 and maybe should not rush into a relationship just yet? But I think she’s narrowed her choices down to just the one! Ganbate!

Ren gets closer to Kanata.
Okuyama hints that that an engine rebuild and aero upgrades are on the cards.
Ren and Kantata go to Grandma's house in Niigata.
Grandma Saionji is a a bit of a speed demon in the Kei-truck. Reminds me of Jiisan Baasan Wakagaeru.
There are hints that the Obon festival might give Kanata a chance to grieve properly for the loss of his mother and father (assuming he knows).

NICE episode

important to also relax and enjoy life...
Life's too short for mid anime/manga. Don't like it? Drop it.

I wonder why Kanata was wearing his hair different at the start. It didn't look good on him.

It was fun to see so much of his cute side this episode, especially having a blast on grandma's Eurobeat truck.

Saying that the series is really starting to sink is an understatement.
The previous episode at least showed us something, but in this one the only remotely interesting part was the grandmother’s guide. What was the rest of the runtime even for?
It’s a real shame for this series: the first season was good but lacked a soundtrack, the second had the soundtrack but little punch, and the third… ┐('~`;)β”Œ

It looks like Grandma would leave Kanata in the dust with her driving skills πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

It was such a nice and calm episode after that exhilarating race. Kanata was even more of a child than Ren πŸ˜…β€οΈ

That shot of granny changing gears was hilarious lol. They really made it seem like shes in a race.

Just realized that Ren's family is loaded.

Not the most amazing episode, but we really needed some world and character building after so many races, so I think its pretty ok for the story

I like how the writers forgot about the #3 place reward. Kanata is a millionaire now, he can take Ren on a romantic cruise for all 40 days.
And his garage can buy a new engine...

Kinda missed opportunity to use m.o.e.v - gravity for the Granma driving segment as they already have MOTSU for the OP.

Overall, nice and chill episode.

Its the typical filler episode that adds zero value to the story. But I say that cause I absolutely despise Ren as a character.

I skipped most of it. I don't care about the Ren x Kanata romance. I just like the racing and the throwbacks to Initial D in this anime.

@joyo123 I couldn't watch 80 percent of the episode because of her. Turbo grandma was the only good thing I enjoyed.
