I've been skating for years now and this anime is so refreshing. Not only does it not contain many of the common anime tropes. But it actually keeps me entertained fully. The OST is a banger. The animation is pretty great. And the skating is accurate to real life for the most part. Overall a solid ass anime

One Of the coolest anime out there! The characters are so fun and unique. Reki and Langa are the best main characters I've seen in a while and the story is so contagious. I love skateboarding and this serie it's just everything I wanted to watch.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece
The RADdest anime of Winter 2021 just finished. An anime about skateboarding and bromance.
I don't know anything about skateboarding, but the animation made each skating scene cool and action-packed. Of course as a sport anime, the skating techniques and moves were ridiculous, but for sure rad.
The characters were one of the weak aspect of the show. The two main boys Langa and Reki had great chemistry, and I rooted for their bromance relationship. However, the villain was the most interesting character. He gave a major vibe of characters in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and he was an obsessive character to the point of pretty creepy.
His story could have been made better if the back story wasn't so poorly made. The villain was a skater at night, but he was a businessman during the day. His company was being suspected by the police, and a detective tried to investigate the company. This story was irrelevant and had no connection to the skating at all.
Overall, a fun skateboarding anime filled with bromance, but the story was problematic. 7/10.

Just here to say that its a good anime i just rated it with a 6 bc its not my type, but it is good <3. Also theres a lot of beautiful scences and some reality into the feelings :c.
SK8 is no doubt an amazing sports anime that came out this year, with lots of energy, friendship and battles that will enthrall you and will keep you at the edge of your seat. Although it's only 12 episodes, but I loved every part of it since it never stopped being exciting.
Starting with the leads, Reki and Langa had a great bond from the start which stayed till the end and of course their fun through skating which improved Langa to an another level. The lead characters were amazing, while Adam, the antagonist (not really though) could have been written more effectively. He felt as a rip off of Hisoka from HxH and was quite annoying.
The skate battles/beef were amazing, although I felt the final battle between Adam and Langa was a bit too much. The animation is, I can say, one of the best of 2021 and Bones once again proved why they are a big name in Anime Industry.
Overall, the story was basic; doing something for one's own fun, but the execution was very effective with regards to the main characters, animation and the pacing with conclusion within 12 episodes.
My Rating : 9/10.

This anime was really heartwarming and I *loved* the found family trope in it. The characters were great and the animation was top-notch. I absolutely loved the friendships between the different characters and they added so much fun to the show.
The only complaint I have against this is that the ending seemed really abrupt and it left me feeling quite unsatisfied. I think it would've been better if there were an additional few episodes just to tie in everything nicely. I really hope there'll be a S2!

Yeah don't judge me i would not have started a sport anime if there weren't any bl in it. I am not a fan of on of the most generic genres of anime. While the genre is not as distasteful and obnoxious as is*kai or the fans*evice animes it is still as uneventfull, repetitive and milked dry as those (well honestly fans*rvice could just have never been milked at all and made every person with a brain happier but no let's show yet another scene where the mc falls into a misunderstanding with a female character and get slapped and called a pervert for the 67287y72s66th time cause some incel defines that as humor).
But this anime is actually not one of the generic ones. It is still pretty eventfull and has even though it has some pacing issues it compensates for it by having a few interesting characters. I don't like the main protagonists or some of the cliche side characters but the villain is a really insane one and is one of my favorite, partly because of the VA (both the original and the dub surprisingly) In conclusion it is a pretty good anime but i am not saying it would not have been better if it were a Shounen Ai. But still i guess i would be falling in the minority im this respect.

This is the first anime I've ever seen in my life, this is so, so great, it's hard to imagine, it's so impressive that it makes me cry, I'm looking forward to a lot of new parts.
Based more on friendship than the love of skating, without your friends skating wouldn't be fun at all, from teaching to reaching the heights you thought you never reach that's infinity that's what the whole anime was all about do what you love even if you'll be an idiot for the rest of your life.
