Pride Episode 1

Great start!

I think this show has a great first episode. It met my expectations. I officially love Kimura Takuya. He showed his versatility in this episode itself.

I love Halu's character. He is proud, a little stuck-up and very sarcastic. Also- he struggles within his own self and cares deeply about the people he loves. I was surprised to see him cry after the coach died. And he went to Aki after the funeral! Haha.

I do like the romance part. It's clear something already sparked between the two. They have different personalities but actually are similar in some ways. I think they both have their problems and struggles with themselves. I'd like to know why Halu behaves the way he does. Past demons, perhaps?! There are questions that I have.

Other than that- the life of a sportsperson is depicted well. Their life is hard and I understand that. Though I have never been into hockey, I will try to develop some interest while watching this.

I look forward to the rest of it. :)
