How quickly we lose love for things because of other people’s opinions.Įven after his disastrous match against Adam, Reki’s only concern was Langa not going against him because he didn’t want him to get hurt. Reki just LIKES skateboarding, so much so that he can appreciate others who are out there doing it, at least, he could until everyone started making comments about him.

I talk more about that in my anime round-up here, but as sad as I am about what’s going on with Reki, it’s extremely realistic and relatable. Turns out Langa’s the prodigy, which Reki’s actually fine with until people start making him feel insecure about his skills. Reki’s boy crush wonderment on the amazing new guy, Langa, and Langa’s quiet smiles over Reki’s excitement over skateboarding are the stuff sports anime ships are made of.īut it turns out SK8 had bigger plans for these two.īefore watching the series I thought Reki would be the skateboarding prodigy, especially since he ends up teaching Langa the basics. I knew this was gonna be the ship of the series.
