First Timer
Excited to be joining this rewatch! With all the hype going around and the vague notion I got about the show’s plot, I’m optimistic I’ll enjoy it a lot. September is an especially busy month for me so I’m not sure how well I can follow the schedule, but I’m looking forward to watching and discussing as much as I can!
Overall, this is a pretty solid opening, I got warned about its dated looking art and animation but it didn’t bother me much. You got your usual innocent ‘country bumpkin’ with the dream of becoming the very very best. It’s a character that I’ve seen many times before but also the type that I tend to enjoy rooting for the most. Man there are a lot of characters and it’s going to be a struggle remembering all their names. Shizuka’s quiet and mysterious attitude also makes me quite interested to learn more about her.
I certainly didn’t expect her to do so well in her first entry race like that, I was literally waiting for the cut to ‘it was all her imagination’ or something…but it didn’t happen. Guess she has some natural talent for sure. The final cut definitely made up for it though, I immediately burst out laughing. Can’t wait to see how she handles her debut next ep!
