Fate's FD Battle

Romance in the initial D anime is really well executed. The woman (so far) are not just 2d characters. They have their own stories, their own screen time, their own lore. They are people, and it really does feel that way despite being a peice of animated fiction. THis was exceptionally executed with Mako and Iketani. They are my favourite ship of all time. Kyoko likes keisuke because he showed him kindess, drives a nice car like hers, and is hot. (Stated) A little shallow but despite that there is some genuine love. Other than that the Keisuke lovers finally get to see a fully fleshed out Keisuke battle, which is a nice change of pace. Overall a great episode still riding the wave of good ones.
