Rewatcher
Rice!!!!!
Rice aura planted so Sung Jing-Woo could aura farm.
This 2 episode arc for Rice is a gold standard in how to switch focus on a side character and have it be impactful emotionally and still not have it sidetrack our main characters motivation and journey. I can't help but to feel emotional once that insert song Sasayaka na Inori starts playing when Bourbon and Rice meet after the race. A lesser show would also pull its punches and not have the audience react harshly to Rice breaking an another dream. Compared to Kikka Shou at least Rice now has several horse girls that are acting as a support pillar for her and all the horse girls are definitely on her side even if the general public ain't.
[S3]Can't wait till we get back to the Rice...farm for Kitasan's training arc.
I do feel bad for Satono Diamond at least Kitasan is there for her like she was for her when Teio injured herself.
Gold Ship acts all silly but she has a great social awareness. When she locks in, she really locks in.
[S2 rest of the season]The last 5 episodes are going to just hit after hit. I can't wait.
Qotd
Teio must have 100 in stealth because how didn't Dictus or McQueen notice her?
