| What a disastrous debut for Rin. She has some skills but she still needs to train and learn more on the basic racing rules. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Seems like Rin get tunnel vision when she gets angry. And it seems like the didn't teach her to rules of racing seeing all the flags she ignored or didn't understand the meaning of. Well hopefully she gets some training and learns the rules a bit, she seemed to know what split streaming is but doesn't know how to use it for overtaking. This episode was a big improvement from the last one but we still lack background information on a lot of characters. |
| Really good episode even though Rin didn't have the best of debut races. I don't understand why Rin was disqualified for passing the race leader as am sure in real life you are allowed to unlap yourself if you are lapped. |
| What kind of dumb rules don't allow you to take back being lapped? |
 |
| "So you do have friends..." "Friends?" "Friends." "Yeah, friends!" And the best dialogue award goes to... |
| Perhaps I gave this anime a chance because of tte similarity with the Red Bull x2019 Gran Turismo car, perhaps because it is something very different from any other anime in this season perhaps just because I felt like, however it does feel very bad. It tries to give you some insights about racing, such as tires degradation and flag colors but you lose completely when you see that the protagonist is a driver who doesn't know the rules of a race and get surprised with yellow flag and overtaking rules. She was completely lost and the narrative want to show us that she got potencial to defeat the best drivers, however it's very hard to empathize with such a contradictory pace and character introduction. I was not expecting it to be great since it's from the same studio of the figure anime girl but still I'm getting surprised on how badly it's written and edited. |

| Oof, our girl Rin seem to have neither the rules nor the controls and system down which were there to help the drivers. I couldn't help but face palm at how clueless she was. Also, somewhere in the earlier race she got passed once despite starting last, still have no idea what that was. |
| So ehm wtf.... How are you even allowed on a race track without knowing what a yellow flag is and with it entails. I geuss they wanted to explain it to none racing fans that are watching the show but I'm pretty sure there are better ways to do it. Like letting the commentators explain what it means when it happened or something idk. Also how tf does she not realize shes in last place, shes litterly been there for the whole race. I'm giving this a few more episodes before I drop it but so far it doesnt feel like its gonna get any better. Which is a shame because I was looking forward to this show. |
| Lol, they made a Trulli train reference. I didn't see that one coming. |
| my favorite part of this is probably the 2 AI divas talking lol we also got a bit more action from the 3 girls, which made it slightly better than ep1 that being said, it's still one of the main contenders for drop, specially since i never cared for races |
fav "new" girls from spring <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| Well, this episode was certainly better than the first one, but a lot of it was still just boring-ass racing with some crappy commentary on top. At least now we have a proper protagonist. Plot is extremely predictable, though: protagonist starts off terribly and ends up being the GOAT by the end, it's rather obvious. Also, VR Chat sponsors this anime? That's a new one. |
| Pretend there's something flashy and cool here. |
| The final part where Rin calms down and manages to overcome the king moved me very much |
 |
| I still don’t understand how he doesn’t know almost any rules its one think her being nervous she literally dont know anything |
| This may be Rin Rindo's debut, and of course she would want to make a good impression on her first race in the Middle East. But otherwise from a rather disastrous start, she is not cutting corners, much less saying about the Izanami sisters who want to challenge the race leaders, both the King and Queen who retains their positions well into the race. Oh well, a rookie like her who wants to overtake so badly, even if it's the driver in front of her or the King that has overtaken her by one lap with the rest following behind, she just does not want to admit defeat. For someone who has always played racing sims, being in a real race is a lot different than in games. That said, this show really needs to pick up on its plot. |

| a racing gamer that become a real racer reminds me of that true story about gran turismo movie but welp she got disqualified in her debut |
