A Beautifully Unique Anime
I've been skating for years now and this anime is so refreshing. Not only does it not contain many of the common anime tropes. But it actually keeps me entertained fully. The OST is a banger. The animation is pretty great. And the skating is accurate to real life for the most part. Overall a solid ass anime

Good but it could be better
Skating taken on an another level
SK8 is no doubt an amazing sports anime that came out this year, with lots of energy, friendship and battles that will enthrall you and will keep you at the edge of your seat. Although it's only 12 episodes, but I loved every part of it since it never stopped being exciting.
Starting with the leads, Reki and Langa had a great bond from the start which stayed till the end and of course their fun through skating which improved Langa to an another level. The lead characters were amazing, while Adam, the antagonist (not really though) could have been written more effectively. He felt as a rip off of Hisoka from HxH and was quite annoying.
The skate battles/beef were amazing, although I felt the final battle between Adam and Langa was a bit too much. The animation is, I can say, one of the best of 2021 and Bones once again proved why they are a big name in Anime Industry.
Overall, the story was basic; doing something for one's own fun, but the execution was very effective with regards to the main characters, animation and the pacing with conclusion within 12 episodes.
My Rating : 9/10.

So cool!
One Of the coolest anime out there! The characters are so fun and unique. Reki and Langa are the best main characters I've seen in a while and the story is so contagious. I love skateboarding and this serie it's just everything I wanted to watch.
Thank you so much for this masterpiece
Skating and Bro Love
The RADdest anime of Winter 2021 just finished. An anime about skateboarding and bromance.
I don't know anything about skateboarding, but the animation made each skating scene cool and action-packed. Of course as a sport anime, the skating techniques and moves were ridiculous, but for sure rad.
The characters were one of the weak aspect of the show. The two main boys Langa and Reki had great chemistry, and I rooted for their bromance relationship. However, the villain was the most interesting character. He gave a major vibe of characters in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and he was an obsessive character to the point of pretty creepy.
His story could have been made better if the back story wasn't so poorly made. The villain was a skater at night, but he was a businessman during the day. His company was being suspected by the police, and a detective tried to investigate the company. This story was irrelevant and had no connection to the skating at all.
Overall, a fun skateboarding anime filled with bromance, but the story was problematic. 7/10.

Loved it!
This anime was really heartwarming and I *loved* the found family trope in it. The characters were great and the animation was top-notch. I absolutely loved the friendships between the different characters and they added so much fun to the show.
The only complaint I have against this is that the ending seemed really abrupt and it left me feeling quite unsatisfied. I think it would've been better if there were an additional few episodes just to tie in everything nicely. I really hope there'll be a S2!

Pretty fun but...
You are telling me that a teenage from Canada who has snowboarded for 15 years didn't know what skateboarding is? No way in hell. I get those scenes where for audience exposition but common.
The characters are super colorful and awesome. It's like if Gleeming the Cube meets The Warriors. The show seems to have a pretty real depiction of most aspects of skateboarding, however the whole downhill battle stuff is pretty out there. I'm not even sure if that stuff is done and I'm guessing most racers would use longboards and not street boards. I wish they would have got into skate shoes and how fast they get thrashed from skating. Pretty cool show!
