Nasu: Summer in Andalusia
Synopsis:
It is the Andalusian section of the 'Vuelta a España' bicycle race around Spain, and Pepe Benengeli is in trouble. As his brother is getting married to Pepe's former girlfriend, Pepe faces a grueling ride in burning hot weather, through his hometown. In the sunbaked hills of his native Andalusia, Pepe launches a make-or-break effort to win the day. At stake is Pepe's career and, more importantly, his self-respect. All of this, against the backdrop of the majestic beauty of Andalusia's arid terrain... and pickled eggplants.

Shinozaki Mikoto is a normal high student with (unfortunately) normal problems: he sucks at sports, has no special talents and is bullied by everyone at his school. One day he is noticed by Fukazawa, his long-time crush and school’s beauty. She asks him to join her brother’s cycling team, so he, desperate to gain her affection, tries his best to learn how to ride a bike not look foolish in the process! Soon, Shinozaki discovers that he actually enjoys cycling and decides to become the best in the world. Will he make it, or end up as yet another has-been?
my anime:
1 person thinks you'd like this because...
add recBoth series are focused on cycling, wich is a not-so common sport, and especially is not common for the anime world. Plus, both series express very well the feelings of the racers, their efforts, their sufferings, their satisfactions, etc. The characters' profiles are different, same for the animation; even so, they both emphasize on the same stuffs. Nasu, as a more realistic approach, since Over Drive reminds a bit of Captain Tsubasa's impossible events (here, instead of not-really-realistic shots, there are some improbable comebacks) but still, they both make a great work on conveying to the watcher the great aspects of this wonderful sport.
