Comments from voice actors after the recording of the final episode have arrived from the TV anime "WIMUSHI PEDAL GRANDE ROAD" currently airing.

The anime "WIMUSUSHI PEDAL" is based on the manga by Wataru Watanabe, which is serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion. It is a sports story about an otaku boy who enters the world of cycling after meeting his friends and aims for the Inter-High School Championships. The first season was broadcast over a three-cour period and gained high popularity as a dark horse. In September 2014, a newly edited version of the Inter High Arc, "Weak Pedal Re:RIDE," was shown in theaters for two weeks only, and the second TV anime season, "Weak Pedal GRANDE ROAD," began airing in October. In the summer of 2015, the first feature film "YAMUSUME PEDAL THE MOVIE" will be released.

The 24th episode "WINNER," which will be aired sequentially from March 30, will be the final episode of the series, and comments from the voice actors after the recording of the final episode have arrived. In the final episode, just before the finish line of the Inter-High, Sakamichi, who is desperately turning the pedals to deliver the Sohoku jersey entrusted to him, and his rival, Manami of Hakone Gakuen, put forth their final effort to reach the summit. Who will be the first to cross the finish line and take the overall championship title?
