About Yowamushi Pedal

Yowamushi Pedal (弱虫ペダル) arrives as a comedy anime by TMS Entertainment (2013), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: Otaku Sakamichi Onoda has just entered high school and plans to join the anime club. In middle school, Onoda didn’t have any friends with whom he could talk about anime, games, Akihabara and other otaku things, and he is hoping he can make such friends in the anime club, but he comes across out it's been disbanded.

Soon after, in order to reestablish the club he tries to find 4 other people who would like to join. Since he was a little boy, Onoda has ridden his mamachari—a bulky bicycle with a step-through frame mainly used for short rides. Fellow freshman Shunsuke Imaizumi and bicyclist, while training, notices a boy (Onoda) riding his mamchari up a steep road.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Daiki Yamashita as Sakamichi Onoda and Kousuke Toriumi as Shunsuke Imaizumi. Think of it as a pick for viewers who want something light between heavier series. With 38 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
