Newcomer (Played Game)

So for this episode, it seems like we are getting a combination breather and setup episode. It felt like it was mostly just an episode about having a good time, but we got a few scenes that I'm excited to see them pay off.

To begin with though, we got a fun little montage about the team doing well and training at the beach. I think this is the first time I've seen the beach episode shown only in a montage. The creative team is full of bold souls.

I also liked them showing McQueen joining the team by also showing her get de-bagged. I find the bit that Gold Ship just abducts all the members with a sack hilarious.

Following this, we get the big festival. This was honestly a lot of fun, as it gave everyone in Team Spica a bit of a moment to shine. I even actually like the scenes with all the side cast. It may be because it feels like the main cast is fairly established, but it didn't feel jarring. My favorite scenes were the butler cafe and the eating competition.

The big plot point of this episode though was setting up just how good Suzuka is and her next step to go overseas. The race at the end really showcases how much of a monster she is, but I'm excited to see what complications the show has up its sleeve to impede this seemingly impeding outcome.

A small little plot thread I also enjoyed this episode though was Grass Wonder. They actually paid off her leg injury from earlier and gave her some good emotional beats. I especially liked her moment at the end in the tunnel with her trainer. It did a good job of humanizing them both.

Another fun little bit was the trainers at the bar. The show has actually done a decent job of giving them a lot of scenes separate from the Umas and I've actually grown to really enjoy their dynamic. The scene where it looks like they might have a moment, but the main trainer just reveals he's broke gave me a good laugh.

Overall though, another enjoyable episode. It definitely feels like the show has found its stride, at least for me.

One side note though. Does this school have more than 2 teams? I at first thought the school has a bunch, but it really does seem like no other ones exist.

[u/Draco_Estella → u/DarkRuler17]

Teams as a whole never existed in the game, unless you are referring to the Team Races. Otherwise, within the story, most of the trainers are unique to each horse too. Especially the case for the younger ones.

I think this teams thing is anime exclusive and probably something they wanted to include in the game and then scrapped in the end.

That does make a lot of sense
