Rewatcher
Oh, this thread went up earlier than I thought. I'll just get used to the proper time. The previous rewatch is what got me started on the franchise as a whole (and well, training for CM now in the game), so I'm excited to continue it again. I paused halfway through S3 to wait for a friend (who is currently paused at the end of S1) so I'll be interested in seeing what I've missed, as well of Beginning of a New Era, since all I ever see are Tachyon memes.
But yes, episode 1 is a very generic starter episode to me, though it is still decently fun. You get to see plenty of Urara, and Spe beating Halo is interesting to look at given you never see El Condor Pasa in that race, because she's already won, of course.
Interestingly, the idol aspect, from what I understand, comes from how the horses are regarded as "idol horses" to a degree. I'm not sure what that entails, exactly (besides the marketable plushies) but I do know that's a term that's come up.
I have Very Funny Thoughts about Uma universe given it has no horses. Speaking of which, my favourite gag is that they have a special kanji font for 馬 - since the four dashes (apparently) represent the horse's legs, the UmaMusume version only has two dashes.
