Suzuka

I really don't understand why this one got only 6.9 rating. This was one of the main reason why i was unaware of this spectacular romantic show. This is one fine romantic series with almost everything which has to be in a romantic anime. All the characters are brilliant and the screenplay makes the simple story so manageable. The only weak point of the show is things going to happen in front of you without knowing the situation which is also the main point of the series. while watching the show, even you won't got the feelings of female lead. You will be confused as same as the main protagonist. But in spite of this you will enjoy the situation and condition of the characters. According to me , it is one of the best romantic anime of all time . It don't deserve 6.9.

I rate this 8.5

So I just finished watching Suzuka. It wasn't bad per say, it was kind of interesting. I must say, in the beginning I wasn't really feeling the anime just because it was a little "meh" the characters were alright. Towards the ending though, probably the last 6 episodes I was a little more captivated because I'm a huge romantic and I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. I thought the ending was somewhat satisfying and the soundtracks were pretty good, my favourite has to be "Scars from long ago" because it's honestly so beautiful. If you enjoy romance and want to learn a little more about track and don't mind it being a little cliché go for it!

What I like about this show after watching it on the Funimation Channel,it was truly interesting and the best. I really wanted to get this series,and I did. When my cousin bought me this series in a box set for Christmas,it was like watching it on the Funimation Channel again. It was a terrific series,and inspiring. And of course it had an amazing storyline. But what this show really tells us is being number 1 is a tough task,and it takes lots of hard work to achieve it. And also,it doesn't matter if you win or lose,it's how you play the game and do your best. And I also believe that Yamato has learned these lessons,and will always do his best. But however,this series is awesome,and worth watching. And of course Todd Haberkorn (famous for xxxholic),playing the voice of Yamato was his best role ever. So if you want to see something good,then see this series,you will like it.

When my friend James Hobson recommended this great anime, I was amazed to see how much of a good taste he has. This anime has changed my ,life. I know see anime differently and would like force this culture upon every human being on Earth. I cant deny that I may have popped a few chubs and played with my sin zones. But that is the magic of anime. You cant help but be fascinated by the creators and their amazing work. I love anime and am feeling a force taking over me. I was A small fan but now I feel like I have been transformed in to a wee a boo. I want to say thanks Jimmibob for showing me this life and hope to waste my life on crunchy roll. Suzuka is the best!!

I give this show a 10/10 because it needs a higher rating than it has. Suzuka while nothing special as an anime, has potentially the best most stunning stories of is genre.

If your interested in the series like I was start by watching the anime. It doesn't have "outstanding" animation or the best voice work, but it'll give you a quick well inspired entrance to the story.

After I finished watching the show I felt let down. It didn't tell me anything that happened afterward! So I read the manga and found myself reading all 166 chapters in 2 days. It had more character development, more story, more insight fullness, and generally more heart than the anime (however after watching the somewhat short anime I got to imagine the way the characters spoke more naturally which helped a lot.). I read through the manga and found myself wanting more and more! I began reading and watching stories similar but, nothing compares to Suzuka in its realism and honesty.

While in the beginning Asahina Suzuka seems like a cold unlovable person in the beginning part of the wonder was watching her slowly open up to everyone and begin to accept herself, her life, and the imperfection of the world around her. This series was by far the best I've seen/read. I've read and watched Love Hina, Ichigo 100%, Ai Ori Ayoshi and many more but I found myself simply comparing them to Suzuka.

Without a doubt I recommend this show to ANYONE who wants to seriously read the manga all the way through. If you don't feel like watching 26 episodes of it. Find where you would be in the manga and keep reading. This story WILL have something you can learn from somewhere in it.
