English Dub Review: MF Ghost “A Cruel Reality”

Overview

A mistake by Oishi sees him exit the race, but he’s not the only driver experiencing difficulties as the rain intensifies…


Our Take

The latest episode delivers high-octane action as racers battle it out in challenging weather conditions. The rain-soaked track raises the stakes, forcing competitors to rely on skill and strategy to stay in the race. Each lap is filled with tense moments, with impressive recoveries and heart-stopping near misses that keep the intensity alive. 

The rest of the episode is bolstered by a well paced techno soundtrack that adds energy and excitement to most of the driving, while some scenes push the limits of realism for the sake of flair, and yet the creativity behind the strategies at least tries to keep things from being dull.

Overall, this episode delivered in terms of spectacle, the unforgiving terrain and hints of even greater challenges thankfully helped me pay attention. The shifting dynamics and fierce rivalries make every position change feel impactful. And despite other minor critiques, the series stays true to its focus on adrenaline-pumping competition while leaving me to wonder if the subplot with Ren will lead anywhere or not…
