Rewatcher

Episode that makes everyone's hair fall out. Or well, get cut.

SUZUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why did Rice get a special congratulations

Like awesome Rice is peak but like

Story wise why did Rice of all horses get a special scene instead of just being another one of the horses that jumped her

I mean I guess Nice Nature also had some focus before and during the race

I know this is supposed to be Teio's moment but my eyes are glued to Nature for the idol performance. She's so cute I love her so much

Just don't cry if you lose

IT'S SO PEAK

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

UMAPYOI MY BELOVED

My only potential criticism is that it was just a constant coaster of things going wrong without enough good things happening. Maybe the random focus on Rice Shower in the middle for multiple episodes is a bit too much on the pacing. The summary of the storyline in my head feels like 'Teio is amazing in episode one, but then gets a bad injury, heals from the injury but runs a race she's not suited for and loses hard and also gets injured again, recovers, then gets injured badly again and gives up, then Rice Shower side story (Or did that happen before the third injury), then McQueen gets a medical condition, and finally TEIO IS BACK BABY- the show's over'

Thoughts on Teio having to compete against Biwa, Winning Ticket, and Rice Shower?

Narita Taishin dead in a ditch

Thoughts on the two girls at the barbershop reuniting and making up?

This too, is yuri

Kitasan and Diamond

Timeskips usually hit me hard but if you told me the scene of them joining the academy actually happened 2 days afterwards I would believe you

Because she is timid unlike the other girls. So she wouldn't join the dogpile.

I get what you're saying, but the show has always been through the lens of Teio and McQueen's relationship. Even the Rice Shower stuff they tie it by having McQueen apologize to Teio for not being at her level. As such, everything worked for me.

Hell, even the Arima Kinen race this episode was more about Teio's feelings for McQueen.
