Yowamushi Pedal (Seasons 1–5)

Yowamushi Pedal (2013) is a sports anime you can watch online on iFILM, adapted by TMS Entertainment from Wataru Watanabe's manga. Sakamichi Onoda is an anime-obsessed teenager who rides a fold-up bicycle ninety kilometres to Akihabara and back every week — not for training, but to buy figures and manga.

At Sohoku High, a competitive racer watches Onoda climb a steep hill without effort and sees something nobody has noticed before. Pulled into the cycling club, Onoda starts converting raw endurance into actual race form. The series runs across multiple seasons and builds to intense inter-school competitions. The cycling sequences are drawn with more attention to real technique than most sports anime, which is part of what makes the races genuinely tense. Watch Yowamushi Pedal online on iFILM.
