What I Watched This Weekend (Week 5)
Yowamushi Pedal
Yowamushi Pedal is a Sports Anime about cycling. The show follows the unlikely hero and Otaku, Onoda Sakamichi who is recruited onto the cycling team because of his ability to climb the school's rear gate slope on his "mommy bike". Onoda embodies the joy of cycling and even though he is racing in the national cycling championship his main concern is just keeping up so he can ride with his teammates who have inevitably become his best friends. I love this show and this is the second time I have watched it. I almost exclusively watch it while I ride the stationary bike for my practice. It has gotten me through some very tough times when I have been injured, by reminding me of the joy of sports and competition. There is nothing exceptionally special about this show besides how well it portrays different athletic archetypes and experiences but that alone makes it worth watching.
8/10
