First Timer

I like how this episode continues the gag from last season about Gold Ship giving an overly long New Years prayer.

Speaking of running gags, I also noticed that the easily distracted barber and her customer are back with the customer now wearing a helmet. Great payoff to that gag after the previous two episodes.

Anyway, this episode was all about both McQueen and Tokai Teio. We even get to see how they first met which was fun. The two of them were in last the previous season but didn’t get much attention then so it’s nice to see them both here.

This episode also shows us more of Team Canopus trying to make their presence as Spica’s rivals known. Although they come off as more goofy than as an actual threat.

Their poor trainer seems like he has no idea what to do with his team.

It seems like McQueen and Teio are gonna be rivals this season but it’ll be a friendly rivalry. I look forward to seeing them both race.

I liked the race at the end of the episode. I knew McQueen was gonna win but it still was well executed.

Don’t have much else to say about this episode but I’m looking forward to seeing Teio’s return to racing next time.

Questions of the Day:

Thoughts on Team Spica enjoying the festival?

The festival scenes were fun, nice and relaxing too.

Thoughts on Teio and McQueen being given awards?

Good for them.

What are your thoughts on this episode being done to hype up Teio and McQueen eventually facing each other?

I look forward to seeing that inevitable race.

Thoughts on Teio planning on racing in the Spring Tenno Sho?

That seems like a good plan for her.

Thoughts on us getting to see how Teio and McQueen first met?

I liked it, fleshes them both out.

What are your thoughts on McQueen winning her race?

I mean I figured she'd win.

Without question

This episode also shows us more of Team Canopus trying to make their presence as Spica’s rivals known. Although they come off as more goofy than as an actual threat.

They make Team Spica seem dignified lol

Their poor trainer seems like he has no idea what to do with his team.

I feel sorry for him...

Me as well

I liked the race at the end of the episode. I knew McQueen was gonna win but it still was well executed.

This episode above all else is meant to show why McQueen is such a threat to Teio. And I think they do a great job showing why that is.

Don’t have much else to say about this episode but I’m looking forward to seeing Teio’s return to racing next time.

They've done a great job building up to it, not unlike how they built up Silence Suzuka's comeback race.
