Hi all, how is it going? I watched this little anime with no so high hopes, but like it happens sometimes, it surprised me. Simple, kind of plain, non-pretentious... so, what's then with this anime, how could it deal such a blow to you? The reason is, once again, the teachings, an immense value regarding moral lectures for teenagers, young and old ones! ;)
Kurata Ami is a plain, clumsy girl, with no particular drive in her life. She never got hooked on anything, or struggled like sick for anything before the start of the story. Kind of randomly she felt like trying cycling, because she saw somebody going so fast and thought "yeah, this could be cool".
With a beginning as shallow as that she takes up cycling with her friend Niigaki Aoi. She notices it feels great, things like the wind on her face, the (sooo slow :P) speed. It is like a piece of cake since there is no goal set, she is just meddling with her folding bike (she really named it Ponta-kun?? kind of clumsy-cute this girl, janaika?)
Due to this new hobby the two girls met other two new ones in the road, thanks to Ami's uselessness in the field!! haha these things... So, they met again by chance at school and started riding together... Needless to say, the level rised (just a little, since our main heroine was such a turtle on her bike...)
Well, Nacho, you are dragging it too long... otakus are impatient so just don't
write too much crap please!! XD shit this thing of the multiple personalities is kinda unsettling sometimes...
Well, the main (and maybe unreal) point is that they never ditched her for being (sooo) slow, up to the point to make a team!! She was so eager, because these friends helped her so much, that made something like 400 different sketches of possible uniforms for the team.
And in the race, where she was about to give up, they told her: "If you go slow, we will go with you. We will finish this together as a team, even if it has to be out of time! So clench your teeth and work hard for the team!" That, my friends, is one of the best teachings you can ever find nowadays in any media.
