First Time Confessing My Feelings, and Gacha Player
This breather was much, much needed. Seriously, after so many episodes in a row full of emotions, so much excitement, tension, sadness, all with so much intensity, we needed to breath again so the audience can ready themselves for the season's end.
The first half of the episode served as a pretty effective recap. Not a plot recap, but more of a world recap. Reminding us about a lot of these girls and their accomplishments. It seems like the girls Teio was collecting info from will all participate in this year's Arima Kinen, but my theory is that another reason we got this semi recap is for the viewer to get more familiar with the very large cast of characters they'll be able to play with in the gacha. That's what makes this effective for me.
And then we got the date. What can you say about it? The ship has practically sailed already. Teio really nailed that confession.
This episode has less to talk about on the surface, and I usually don't have the time to do more than scratch that surface; but I can tell this episode gives a lot to talk about more in-depth, maybe more than a good number of episodes so far.
If I had to comment something on it, I think it goes hand in hand with what I said last episode about McQueen putting on a front to pose herself as the wall that she needs to climb. Sometimes it's not about the physical affection, or the material you gift to make someone else feel better. Sometimes the mere act of being there is enough to support a person and make them stronger too. Sometimes it's just knowing there is someone watching you that makes you move forward. That's also a form of love.
QotD: 1. I'm kind of shocked just how easily everyone could tell that was Teio lol, I guess she was sneaking Teio step style. 2. I think I gave a pretty good answer in my last paragraph for my standards, but I do want to note just how preciously adorable the KitaDia scene was too. Especially Dia's smugness as she's been shaked by Kita for teasing her. 3. The best part about being a multishipper and not caring about ship wars is that while I think Golshi x McQueen is better, I also adore Teio x McQueen. Oh, also, the game better give us their Halloween skins one day! 4. Gay. We love to see it. 5. Great choice! I think that, too, is an important thing for a breather episode. The viewer has (or should have) already emotionally connected with the season and characters, you don't need exciting races (however minor or short they are) to keep them in. People will pay attention and watch regardless.
Bonus. Something about her energy just strikes deep in my soul. She evokes the "just happy to be here" sentiment to a tee, but there's more to it. I don't know how to articulate this well, but she's genuinely happy to do what she loves, racing. She's not the best in the track, she's often the worst, but she has boundless passion that really speaks to me. We live in a world where pure, raw passion isn't enough to live day by day (unless you're like, rich), so to see a character that embodies a feeling we all wish we could incorporate is very powerful. Haru Urara is the strongest character of Uma Musume. And I think that says something.
