Anime Taste Testing: Overtake!
Let’s all ganbaru together.
Overtake! – 01
「走る男」 (Hashiru Otoko) "The Man Who Races" “I know this track. I've raced it a thousand times.”
Overtake! – 07
「露出アンダー -What I really feel...-」 (Roshutsu Under: What I Really Feel...) "Underexposure -What I really feel...-" "Like a picture, I was overexposed."
Overtake! – 11
「ホップ→ステップ→ -Godspeed! Psych!-」 (Hop -> Step ->: Godspeed! Psych!) Hop -> Step -> -Godspeed! Psych!- Who is shadowing who?
Overtake! Review
Overtake! is a drama anime built around the high-speed world of Formula 4 racing. But, is it more of a drama or racing series?
Overtake! – 09
「厄災の日 -What really happened?-」 (Yakusai no Hi: What Really Happened?) "The Day of the Disaster -What really happened?-" Take a picture, it’ll last longer.
Overtake! – 06
「鈴鹿, 雨 -I don`t want you to race.-」 (Suzuka, Ame: I Don`t Want You to Race.) "Suzuka, Rain -I don`t want you to race.-" When it rains, it pours.
Overtake! – 07
Kouya's backstory is quite complicated and dark, and it's well-integrated with the sports side (effectively Haruka's arc).
Overtake! – 09
As this episode wound down I kept thinking of Gegege no Kitarou 2018's Episode 20, "Memories of the Y?ka" (the war one).
Overtake! – 06
If I had a kid I don't think there's any way I could let him or her race cars - the stress would be unbearable.
Overtake! – 05
「炎のランナー -It`s just luck.-」 (Honoo no Runner: It`s Just Luck) "Chariots of Fire -It`s just luck.-" Flame Runner would've been a cooler name for the movie.
Overtake! – 05
Flame Runner would've been a cooler name for the movie.
Overtake! – 03
Overtake is shaping up as one of the best sports anime of the year. Only it's reported length is a yellow flag at this point.
Overtake! – 11
Everything in Overtake! is setting up nicely for what should be a very satisfying ending
Overtake! – 10
「ネバー・セイ・ネバー -It`s gonna be a long race.-」 (Never Say Never: It`s Gonna Be a Long Race) "Never Say Never: It`s Gonna Be a Long Race." Now's not the time to…
Overtake! – 03
「表彰台まで何キロメートル? -Why?-」 (Hyoushoudai made Nan Kilometer?: Why?) "How Many Kilometers to the Winner`s Podium? Why?" You can't have two number ones.
Overtake! – 02
There's a lot of personal investment behind this project, and it absolutely shows. Read more
Overtake! – 02
「ノリと勢い -Told ya, roller coaster.-」 (Nori to Ikioi: Told Ya, Roller Coaster.) "Enthusiasm and Spirit: Told Ya, Roller Coaster." I’m glad Raceman only deals with car racing.
Overtake! – 10
There was no way Overtake was going to try and follow up last week's emotional blockbuster - that would have been pointless.
Overtake! – 05
With only 12 eps I kind of hate to see one spent like this, and if it were to be repeated I'd start to get a little worried.
Overtake! – 08
This is assuredly the right decision for Haru in the long run, as Futoshi makes clear in no uncertain terms.
Overtake! – 08
「同じ穴のムジナたち -Y’know what makes a fast driver?-」 (Onaji Ana no Mujina-tachi: Y`know What Makes a Fast Driver?) "Birds of a Feather -Y’know what makes a fast driver?-" The hierarchy of…
Overtake! – 04
「過去と後悔 -His good points? Don`t ask me.-」 (Kako to Koukai: His Good Points? Don`t Ask Me.) "The Past and Regrets: His Good Points? Don`t Ask Me." You miss 100% of…
Overtake! – 04
One of the hallmarks of a good sports anime is that it can do a competition episode and a no-competition episode and have both be compelling.

Overtake! – 12 (END)
「オーバーテイク -Do your best!-」 (Overtake: Do Your Best!) Overtake: Do Your Best! The real Overtake! was the slip-stream we took along the way.

Kouya Madoka is a photographer who is having trouble with his work. He gets tense and anxious before a photo shoot, and this is causing him to be…
Overtake! – Episode 1
Even if cars going zoom isn't your thing, the intriguing characters and highlight of financial barriers to competing make a good hook.
First Impressions – Overtake!
Our first look at Fall's other auto racing anime, Overtake! - the one I had much higher hopes for. And for good reason, as it turns out.

Overtake! Episode 10 Review
Haruka and Kouya return to the track in Overtake! Episode 10 after learning more about themselves and each other on their trip.
Overtake! Episode 1 Review
Overtake! Episode 1 introduces viewers to the world of Japanese Formula 4 (F4), an open-wheeled class of motorsports.
Overtake! Episode 8 Review
Overtake! Episode 8 began with a big twist. In this review, I discuss whether Satsuki or Haruka is more like James Hunt.
Overtake! Episode 3 Review
Overtake! Episode 3 is the first episode of the series in which a race is the main focus. And in it, Haruka earns a new PB.
Overtake! Episode 5 Review
Overtake! Episode 5 makes it clear that Haruka's father's crash was supposed to be reminiscent of Niki Lauda's 1976 crash.
Overtake! Episode 2 Review
Overtake! Episode 2 doesn't feature a race. Instead, this episode is all about Kouya trying to help Komaki Motors gain sponsors.
Overtake! Episode 4 Review
Overtake! Episode 4 reveals what the photograph was that caused Kouya to stop taking portraits. Do you think he's at fault?
Overtake! Episode 7 Review
Overtake! Episode 7 follows the same predictable plot development as most anime with some drama after the halfway point.
Overtake! Episode 11 Review
Overtake! Episode 11 goes back to the series' roots by explaining aspects of racing that the average person may not know.
Overtake! Episode 12 Review
The final episode of Overtake! is here. Will Haruka make it onto the podium? And what will happen to Satsuki and Toshiki?
Overtake! Episode 9 Review
Overtake! Episode 9 was the best episode of the series, and it wasn't even about racing. It turns out, drama is all you need.
Overtake! Episode 6 Review
Overtake! Episode 6 features a wet weather race at one of my favorite tracks, Suzuka Circuit. Will Haruka finally get his win?
