English Dub Review: MF Ghost “Lonesome Cowboy”

Overview

After schooling the rest of the field on how to drive through the fog, Kanata emerges from the white wall with a big gap to the car behind. Can he stay in front? Meanwhile, the two leaders do battle once more…


Our Take

The latest episode brought high-octane excitement, showcasing intense racing action as competitors pushed their skills to the limit. Kanata’s performance stood out, blending precision and quick thinking in a display of resilience against other tough racers. The dynamic racing sequences, combined with strategic maneuvers and evolving conditions on the track, kept the tension high without the melodrama.

While the focus on the race delivered some standout moments, certain scenes felt like unnecessary distractions, shifting away from the core action. These cutaways disrupted the pacing, taking attention away from the gripping competition that anchors the series. A stronger emphasis on character-driven storytelling and the intricacies of racing would have made up for this if the writing didn’t shove this down our throats regularly and expect its audience to give a shit about the romance aspect wasn’t one-sided…

Overall, the episode captured the high-stakes nature of the competition, offering a blend of technical racing details and emotional drama. The momentum built here promises an exciting payoff, with the next episode poised to deliver one hell of a conclusion assuming they don’t drag this any further.
