Looks like it is going to be a competitive but at the same a comfy anime. Hyped!

This seems interesting. Hopefully Crunchyroll licenses it for Finland.

I'm quite interested! Smile Racing is more fun when it's shared with a friend.

Let us hope we can have at least one EUROBEAT moment in this anime.

As long as the sidecars racers aren't rendered in 3D.

The anime is set on Miyake Island, a small and sparsely populated island that lies nearly 200 kilometers (about 120 miles) south of central Tokyo, but still within the boundaries of the Tokyo Metropolis.


The interesting thing about that is that Miyake Island isn't even close to being the southernmost point in Tokyo. The Bonin Islands. also known as the Ogasawara Islands, are about a thousand kilometres (620 miles) south from central Tokyo or about five times further south from central Tokyo as Miyake is. But the Bonin Islands are still incorporated within Tokyo. I'm not 100% sure that Tokyo is the world's "longest" city by latitude, but I can't think of any other city that even comes close.

Checking Miyake Island on Google Maps, I noticed that the entire island has essentially just one long winding road on it, Prefectural Road 223, with just a couple of short forks and a few long narrow roads that could just be footpaths. Still, Google Street View lets you "preview" the scenery in this anime.

Anyway, congratulations to SilverLink on its 10th anniversary. SilverLink is the anime studio that's produced the most anime I've enjoyed this decade (Non Non Biyori, WataMote, Tanaka-kun is Always Listless and Baka and Test) so I hope they're around for a long time to come.
