I hope this is a sequel ( with another Op by Nana Mizuki ), the last episode gave me a "starting line" vibe, now that most of the character episodes are done and Rin has her driving style down they can really focus on the championship part.

Hopefully they get a better director and series composer on board, that first episode should be taught in schools on how not to introduce people to your narrative and the ways you can immediately disconnect any potential audience.

Unless it's a complete improvement over the first season...

Yeah, and the writing really doesn't get much better. Pro tip: If the character has a tragic backstory, actually expand on that and not limit it to vague-at-best flashbacks. Why even give the main an injury if it's not even going to be brought up or shown.

Oh, and they should change the animation studio while they're at it. A-Cat was the absolute worst choice for an all-CGI series and I'm not sure how/why they were chosen when King Records has better connections.

Unless the budget was that low they focused it all on the cast, or A-Cat underbid everyone else, there's no reason for their presence on the series as much as the director and main story writer considering their past projects combined comprise of such "gems" as Digimon Adventure tri., Concepcion, and Kingdom of Ruin's adaptation.

Sure Jan, let’s waste money and resources on anime that don’t deserve it. That’s the smart thing to do. Rolling Eyes

It was alright by the end of the season, though ended at a 'And now the real story begins' point with the characters accepting their place and the racing team only being given a short lifeline by their sponsor for partially meeting their team goals.
