\"\"<\/a>If you’re an anime fan, you know it’s not as easy as Overtake!<\/em> just made it look.\u00a0 I bemoan that this show was as short as it was, because sports anime this good demand ample time to tell their story.\u00a0 The arc of a sports series doesn’t lend itself to a single cour, but that just makes the job Sekine Ayumi and Aoki Ei did here that much more impressive.\u00a0 The advantage of an original series, of course, is that you’re buying bespoke and not off the rack.\u00a0 If you have twelve episodes, a good writer can craft a story that fits like a tailored suit.\u00a0 I wasn’t sure Sekine was a good writer going in, but I’m convinced now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’ve just finished a bespoke series myself, about sports anime, which makes this finale feel rather timely.\u00a0 There was one episode that stood alone, naturally – #9.\u00a0 It had nothing to do with sports and everything to do with the human condition, and in truth Overtake<\/em> probably could have stood as an excellent finished product without it.\u00a0 But both because it was staggeringly brilliant as a standalone and because it made what were already good character arcs even better, that episode – the best of the series and one of the best of the year – raised the level of the entire show.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I\u00a0 don’t think there was a whole lot of surprise in this finale, but that wasn’t the point.\u00a0 At twelve episodes there just wasn’t time to take the long road through all the peaks and valleys of the traditional sports protagonist’s journey.\u00a0 Haruka was going to stand on that podium one way or the other and Kouya was gonna photograph him – the story would have been incomplete otherwise.\u00a0 There was some question about which step Haru would be standing on, but that actually didn’t even really matter that much.\u00a0 In that sense Overtake’s<\/em> short length is actually a luxury rather than a curse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Race day at Fuji for the season-ending F4 championship is the setting here.\u00a0 The old dogs<\/a> and the young guns<\/a> contemplate the day in their own way, Sae and Kouya banter like the married couple they were (and might someday be again, who knows).\u00a0 Tokumaru gets his redemption moment, apologizing to Haru for- well, for generally being a total dick to him.\u00a0 And generally being a total dick.\u00a0 He’s the #1 driver for Belsorriso, but fate has a cruel hand to deal him (again, given the narrative demands of a one-cour series, it’s not surprising that it wound up that way).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Haruka qualifies 6th in his mom & pop sponsored car<\/a> (a nice callout to Scuderia Coloni, though the fact that they – and Hattori Naoki – never had any success in Formula 1 isn’t mentioned). He could have qualified higher to be sure, but with the matter of saving the tires never far from the mind, trusting in Haruka’s ability to climb the board during the race is a necessary risk.\u00a0 Sae – indignantly protesting her ability to wield a camera even as she rejects Kouya’s indirect kiss – takes some of the load off him in\u00a0 order to let Kouya concentrate on the money shots.\u00a0 But that doesn’t mean he isn’t struggling with his demons even at this late hour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Haruka’s final benediction to Kouya<\/a> before the race is perfectly fitting – he calls him Komaki Motors’ “mom”, because of his unconditional love.\u00a0 That’s such a Haruka thing to say, and it captures the Kouya dynamic perfectly.\u00a0 Maybe that’s what Haru needed in his life, with Futoshi already filling the father role.\u00a0 But Haru’s real father is no less an inspiration to him here.\u00a0 “Ultimately we do it for ourselves” – maybe that is true.\u00a0 But I still think repaying Futoshi for his faith and effort, Kouya for his unconditional love, and standing where his father stood are driving Haruka forward.\u00a0 If he’s doing it for himself, it’s because he’s the sort of kid who couldn’t live with himself if he didn’t do everything he could for them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tokumaru’s bad luck<\/a> is a rather convenient dramatic turn, but it does free up the stage for the main players.\u00a0 Once it was down to Satsuki and Haru it was pretty clear who would come out on top.\u00a0 This was Haruka’s moment, but no less so Kouya’s.\u00a0 He had to hold up his end of the bargain, because Haruka certainly did.\u00a0 He didn’t keep his promise to make his first portrait shot Haru on the podium<\/a>, but that doesn’t really matter in the end (and there was already a history there, anyway).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Like all good sports anime, Overtake<\/em> excels at both the competition and the story of the people taking part in it.\u00a0 Sure there was a lot of CGI here, but it was used very well, and some of those “drone shots” in the finale were really artful.\u00a0 Aoki is a very accomplished director, and his hand is all over this series.\u00a0 But Sekine delivers the goods with Kouya and Haruka.\u00a0 The cast here is generally very endearing, but those two have one of the best relationships in anime this year.\u00a0 Sometimes you just want to root for genuinely nice people, and these two are certainly that.\u00a0 Their problems feel very real, too\u00a0 – they’re a pair we can identify with on a fundamental level even if we’ve never spent a minute on a track or sold a photograph.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s always extra satisfying when a sleeper pick comes good, but the signs were there with Overtake<\/em>.\u00a0 I will say that even in that context it exceeded my expectations, partly because of Episode 9 but generally speaking as well.\u00a0 It was a show that exuded confidence, telling a coherent story from start to finish and doing justice to its chosen sporting canvas.\u00a0 I love sports anime and always will, and one this good is to be treasured that much more given their relative rarity these days.\u00a0 There are more important ways to define success than fanfare, and Overtake<\/em> more than measures up to them.<\/p>\n
