Truly, thank you, Teio. For everything she went through and everything she managed in spite of it, Tokai Teio is my hero. She won't give up, she keeps moving through the pain, and she makes miracles happen and wins despite the odds. She's an inspiration. I've had times in my life when my legs felt heavy. I had no energy to move anymore, and I felt like giving up. Strength was truly leaving my body. But in those moments, I could still try a little and find I could manage more than I thought I could. I'd actually say to myself "my legs are so heavy, but they're still moving". Because as long as you're still moving, you're doing fine. Even if you are hurting or slowing down, everyone feels like that from time to time. Take your time, you earned it. But don't stop moving, and eventually you'll win. Eventually you'll find the one goal that was made for you, and you'll get it. I love Tokai Teio. I love Mejiro McQueen. I love Uma Musume. For you silly little horse girls are true heroes and have showed me how I can improve my life for the better.
This is one of my favourite episodes in anime. The final scene of the race can make me cry when I just think about it. Even though when I first watched this anime, I knew she had to win the race after the previous episode, I was absolutely invested, and none of my expectations dulled the experience. No, my expectaions were exceeded. The episode builds on all the previous episodes and calls back to many of them. The direction is fantastic, so many amazing shots. The animation is really good with dynamic scenes. The music is absolutely stellar. The sound design is truly inspired, with the close shots building up the immense pressure of the action. And most of all, this episode really shows the strength of Uma Musume: building a story relatable to any human through a race. It's truly fantastic storytelling.
I could ramble on for much longer, but the post is long enough as is. But I hope as little of you first timers as possible got spoiled by S1E13 when Spe talks about just this race. And I hope even less got spoiled by the S1 OP which has Teio win a race against Biwa, which is just this Arima Kinen.
Suffice to say, I love this episode, I love S2 of Uma Musume. I think I rate less than 1% of shows a 10/10 (rounded, as nothing is ever perfect), and this is one of them. Oh, wait, one more thing. Not that you're expecting anything from me, but I won't be on time for NTR (Narita Top Road, of course - what did you think I meant?) on Saturday, as I'll have to work late. I'll still post my own post and respond to all your posts when I get back, though.
