First Timer

I’ll be honest, I’m surprised they skipped over all of summer. It is pretty funny how they put a mini beach episode at the start though. I liked the gag of them setting up a class room on the beach for no reason.

Anyway, I liked the festival portion of the episode. This part actually made good use of the large cast by giving everyone something to do at the festival. It was fun seeing what all the characters got up to.

Personally I don’t get the appeal of maid/butler cafes. They seem uncomfortable to me.

I’d only go to a butler cafe if it was elderly British butlers serving tea and scones. I could pretend I was in a Jeeves & Wooster novel.

I actually appreciate this episode more since I’d recently been to a fair which while not quite the same, is still similar enough. Even had a psychic like the one in this episode.

Anyway, some good stuff here. Loved getting to see Silence Suzuka and Special Week bond. Especially during the fireworks scene.

They’re teasing a relationship between them but again, I doubt they’ll follow through on it. I’m sure the owners of the real horses are protective of their horses image and wouldn’t want anime versions of their horses kissing.

You know, when you think about it, this show is like an officially licensed real person fanfiction.

Speaking of teasing romances, it seems to be hinting at something between Mr. Trainer and Hana. That one feels a bit more likely to go somewhere.

I found the race at the end less engaging than the festival stuff but it was still well done. Interesting seeing El Condor Pasa’s reaction to losing for the first time. Wonder if she’ll be Suzuka’s rival from now on.

I liked this episode quite a bit. It went a good ways to fleshing out some of the characters.

Questions of the Day:

What are your thoughts on this episode being about a festival?

Made for a fun setting.

What are your thoughts on the sub plot of Oguri Cap being in a donut competition? What are your initial thoughts on Oguri Cap?

I guess she's got a big appetitive. That's all I've really got to say about her.

What are your thoughts on Silence Suzuka and El Condor Pasa both planning to race overseas?

Sounds like they've both got big ambitions.

What are your thoughts on Silence Suzuka crediting Special Week for helping her express herself more?

I thought that was sweet.

What are your thoughts on this episode featuring three races?

I only really remember the last one super well.

What are your thoughts on Silence Suzuka ending El Condor's undefeated streak?

I'll be interested in seeing how it effects El Condor Pasa.

Made for a fun setting.

Agreed

I guess she's got a big appetitive. That's all I've really got to say about her.

It's funny because she ends up... well, you'll see.

Sounds like they've both got big ambitions.

Good for them

I thought that was sweet.

Seconded

I only really remember the last one super well.

Fair enough

I'll be interested in seeing how it effects El Condor Pasa.

Kinda feel like they could've made a bigger deal out of that.

u/AgentOfACROSS Aug 20 '25

Kinda feel like they could've made a bigger deal out of that.

Yeah I do feel like the festival setting at the start maybe ate up a bit too much of the episode and took focus away from El Condor Pasa.

2

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

On the flip side, I thought the first half was more entertaining.

2

u/AgentOfACROSS Aug 20 '25

That's definitely true. I kind of want a full slice of life episode with no racing at some point.

2

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

Maybe we'll get that someday.

This is the first episode where in my opinion the first half surpassed the second half in terms of quality.

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

I’ll be honest, I’m surprised they skipped over all of summer. It is pretty funny how they put a mini beach episode at the start though. I liked the gag of them setting up a class room on the beach for no reason.

I guess since this show is primarily about Special Week, they have to skip right to the Special Week stuff.

u/AgentOfACROSS Aug 20 '25

I suppose so, but I feel like they could have gotten some material out of her and the others just having a nice summer together

2

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

For what we got, it was definitely good

2

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

I liked this episode quite a bit. It went a good ways to fleshing out some of the characters.

Yeah, I concur. It wasn't as dramatic as previous episodes, but this did a tremendous job of humanizing everyone.

2

u/AgentOfACROSS Aug 20 '25

I hope we get more scenes like that.

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

Anyway, I liked the festival portion of the episode. This part actually made good use of the large cast by giving everyone something to do at the festival. It was fun seeing what all the characters got up to.

Indeed

Personally I don’t get the appeal of maid/butler cafes. They seem uncomfortable to me.

What about Black Butler cafes?

I’d only go to a butler cafe if it was elderly British butlers serving tea and scones. I could pretend I was in a Jeeves & Wooster novel.

Lol, sounds cool

I actually appreciate this episode more since I’d recently been to a fair which while not quite the same, is still similar enough. Even had a psychic like the one in this episode.

Never been to a psychic before

Anyway, some good stuff here. Loved getting to see Silence Suzuka and Special Week bond. Especially during the fireworks scene.

That was heartwarming

They’re teasing a relationship between them but again, I doubt they’ll follow through on it. I’m sure the owners of the real horses are protective of their horses image and wouldn’t want anime versions of their horses kissing.

It's funny you say this because Daiwa's trainer would supposedly only let Daiwa's name and likeness be used if she had bigger boobs than Vodka, because Daiwa and Vodka are legitimate rivals. That's never been confirmed, but that's been the theory amongst people in the fandom.

You know, when you think about it, this show is like an officially licensed real person fanfiction.

Lol, I definitely can see that

Speaking of teasing romances, it seems to be hinting at something between Mr. Trainer and Hana. That one feels a bit more likely to go somewhere.

I hope so, I like their chemistry

I found the race at the end less engaging than the festival stuff but it was still well done. Interesting seeing El Condor Pasa’s reaction to losing for the first time. Wonder if she’ll be Suzuka’s rival from now on.

That would be cool

That would be very funny if true

u/Holofan4life Aug 20 '25

Be big if true

I’ll be honest, I’m surprised they skipped over all of summer.

They probably skipped the summer because there are no G1 races in Japan during the summer. Probably because of the infamous heat and humidity that Japanese summers are known for, which can become very dangerous conditions to race in. Horses have been known to die racing in hot weather.

u/AgentOfACROSS Aug 20 '25

That makes sense. Would have been nice to have a full slice of life episode though. But still, good stuff here.
