With the Inter-high over and as the end of summer approaches, Sakamichi trains intensely with Imaizumi Shunsuke and Naruko Shoukichi so he can carry on Team Sohoku’s spirit of supporting each other entrusted to him by Kinjou Shingo, Makishima Yusuke, and Tadokoro Jin, the third years who will be graduating before long.

A story about bicycle racing team and the enjoyment of riding a bicycle together with your friends. This story takes place after Yowamushi Pedal GRANDE ROAD. I see huge improvement in storyline compared to TV series. Story : Throw away those stupid chit-chats during the race. This movie has less chit-chats and more straightforward in the race. It's what an anime of bicycle race should be. Focus on the action instead of the chit-chats. The race is more sportive and more interesting in this movie. I see this as a huge improvement over the TV series. Art : Same as the TV series. The color is nice andthe environment is beautiful. It's very good but not something I would call visual stunning. Sound : Same as the TV series. The music and sound effect is very good. Definitely helps building the atmosphere. Surely you can hear a detailed sound of bicycle chains and gears. Character : The charas are the same but there are several personality changes in some of them. This time, you'll see Onoda Sakamichi failed to carry his order. Without Makishima in the team, Onoda takes a lot of pressure as the only climber and he loses his confidence as well. Naruko and Tadokoro started to work like teammates here. Makishima becomes an inspiring senpai. Enjoyment : Watching this movie is full of enjoyment. It tells us the joy of riding bicycle in general, and specifically in road race. It teach us how to race in a sportive way and to work as a team. Overall : This movie is awesome and inspiring. If you were a fan of Yowamushi Pedal, you MUST watch this movie. If you were a bicycle fan, this movie is highly recommended. If you haven't watched the TV series, you can watch this movie without worry (that's what I do). The only confusion you get is the characters but you'll know them one by one through the story just like when you watch other movies.

The film story takes place after the GRAND PEDAL, after the interhigh finished. STORY: The plot is pretty fast-paced and a lack of momentum and anticipation of the cycling race present in comparison with the anime series. It is somewhat expected for a 100 minutes movie. Majority of dialogue are sport related and characters infamous lines. There were quite a few flashback scenes to help refresh your mind and help connect the between the two races. ART: The art and animation are just as good as the anime. SOUND: The sound and background music are rarely different from the anime series.CHARACTER: The original characters from the anime series are present with a few introduction of new characters. However Midousuji is completely absent from the movie and the plot focuses on the Sohoku and Hakone team members. It was initially expected the new characters role as antagonist would bring excitement to the movie but there is complete lack of it and serve rarely any importance. ENJOYMENT: Despite some negative points, the movie had some unexpected results of the race, funny references to respective characters and some parts make you laugh hysterically. OVERALL: I personally enjoyed watching the movie coming as a fan of the anime series. Lots of references to the characters and the series what made the movie enjoyable. The movie is definitely a fan-service and recommended for those who are acquainted with the series.
