| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Mmmkay, a build-up episode for the next race, but we still don't know who's gonna race it. 4/5 |
| I'm gonna go play Midnight Club 2 now after watching that. |
  |
| Started watching this show last night and it's awesome! R-32 woooooooooo |
| Hmm I'm guessing he is going to learn that even with a powerful car he can still lose. |
 |
| I wonder how Takumi will face the awesomeness that is the Skyline R32. |
 |
| It's kind of ridiculous the music they use for the black car.... |
| More of a buildup episode, but still very solid to be honest! |
 |
| I like the fact that Takumi crashed his car to scare Iketani-senpai xD R32 organ music lol.. Too dramatic |
"Signature removed"   |
| It was great to see Iketani-senpai freaking out at Takumi's driving skills to the point of fainting, and at the third corner! I also liked how Fujiwara sent some fried tofu to him, since it's what he always buys, I guess he really took a liking to him! Takumi is still not fired up enough though, let's see how he will be dragged into his next race. Also Itsuki is annoying. |
 |
| R32 is awesome, can't wait to see Takumi agaisnt it |
 |
| Same thoughts as everyone else here, how is Takumi going to tackle the R32... This anime has been really good from the beginning though, thoroughly enjoying it so far! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| Black R32's organ theme sounds funny, but I must admit it fits the atmosphere when this car appears, lol. I like R32's driver and his style. I also prefer to avoid drifting and stick to rounding that curves in a classic and more smooth way. |
| Lol, Iketani actually fainted. Tak is just too good |
 |
| The dude that drives the r32 is just pretty much the Saitama of racing, looking for a challenging opponent. I'm so ready for this race. |
| I think the black r32 is no match for Takumi... |
 |
| So the R32 guy doesn't actually like drifting... flash in the pan, huh? Oh how wrong he was. |
 |
| The race between the gtr and the 86 is really close Also the car animation is kinda getting better |
 |
| Seeing this episode building up for the AE86 vs the R32 is hyping me as fuck and expecting that Takumi will lose or will he I doubt it. |
  |
| the GTR's theme is menacing, vampire vibes tbh. but damn iketani passed out riding with takumi. |
 |
| i didn't remember itsuki being so annoying |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I have hight hopes that Takumi is going to win. |
 |
| Im looking forward to the battle between the R32 and Trueno eight-six. |
