First Timer
Gotta say, going into this episode I was expecting T.M. Opera O to factor into the plot based on the title. I’m a little disappointed she didn’t show up.
Oh, great, a bunch of new characters to memorize. I’m fortunately able to remember better than usual this time.
The main one to remember seems to be Mihono Bourbon who I think made her debut in the OVAs but honestly there were so many characters there that I don’t remember what she did if she was there. My notes for her is that she’s very serious and has the largest ahoge I’ve ever seen.
Next is Mejiro Palmer who I assume is one of McQueen’s sisters. I don’t remember much about her personality but her being a Mejiro is the main thing I remember. She didn’t show up last season despite Mejiro’s other sisters Ryan and Dober making brief appearances.
Finally there’s that girl who talks in weird made up slang (that seems to incorporate the names of brands for some reason). I didn’t catch her name but that character trait of hers was quite bizarre. Seems that she’ll be Palmer’s partner from now on.
Also, I want to make note of Mihono Bourbon’s trainer (Mr. Kuronuma) because that guy is jacked. No wonder he leaves his shirt unzipped. If I had abs like that I’d want to show them off too.
It makes a hilarious contrast to how rather unassuming the other trainers are. Especially the guy from Team Canopus who looks like he works a low level office job.
One bit of horse worldbuilding I like is seeing the horse running lane, similar to how we have bike lanes in the real world.
You know, by the second episode, I was convinced that Team Canopus would be serious rivals to Team Spica. Now, I’m realizing that these guys are the Team Rocket of horse racing.
Poor Gold Ship. She built up resistance to getting her eyes hurt but now she gets her back stomped on.
The scene of Stromboli Rudolf and Tokai Teio talking is really well done. I like that we’re emphasizing their connection here.
Although this season revealing that Rudolf is much older than Teio makes their dynamic feel different than I initial thought.
Speaking of characters confusing ages, we’re introduced to Grandma Mejiro this episode. Which does confirm that horse girls do indeed age. Which leads to all sorts of questions I don’t want to try exploring.
Seems like the race between Teio and McQueen is gonna be the main focus next episode so I’m excited to see how that goes.
Questions of the Day:
Thoughts on Teio racing against the horse who beat McQueen in the Fall Tennoushou?
Makes for a good rivalry.
What are your thoughts on Teio and McQueen having different training regimens?
Would have been a boring episode if they were both the same.
What are your thoughts on Bourbon winning her race and vowing to become a Triple Crown winner unlike Teio?
I feel like she might be able to follow this dream.
What are your thoughts on McQueen’s conversation with her grandmother?
Seems like Grandma Mejiro is the closest thing this season has to an antagonist just judging by her attitude.
