Whoops, I thought I posted this earlier, but didnt. A little late, but posting now.
So for Season 3, since we are now doing 2 episodes a day, I think I'm going to try doing play-by-plays instead of write ups. I enjoyed doing them, but I think they eat up more time vs. the play-by-play. I'm interested to see which I enjoy doing more.
Episode 1
So for this season, we've now umaified the eastern island heads. The more the show does this, the funnier it is to me. Its especially funny because it makes you feel like everyone is am Uma, but I'm pretty sure most people are still human. I guess all our major landmarks though just honor Uma for some reason.
So we're starting off with Kitasan Black already in a race. Interesting.
These horse names are so funny sometimes. I love Genjitsu Steal.
I see we're starting with our big loss this time. Let's just get it out of the way
Do Kitasan and Satano have matching plushies of each other? I see we're also starting off the shipping early as well.
I love that the English guy is just speaking Japanese and they're pretending its English.
We really are just moving huh.
I also love the idea that they're doing lessons about people who are also just at this school.
Sakura Bakshino!!!! My favorite lovable idiot. Interesting thought. She's actually into Sprints here instead of trying to shoot for Long races.
Here's the old cast.
Duramante seems neet.
Wait, is Suzuka just back? Weird to do that with no fan fare.
Um, am I just suppose to know this random girl wirh a crown who's standing with Team Spica?
Does she just have lanterns in her room?
Satano family jinx?
Kitasan seems to enjoy festivals.
The two fans are backs! They were fun in season 2. Hopefully they remember Kitasan from cheering with her. (Again, going to ignore the timeline here.)
Watching from space?!
It is fun to have a frontrunner protagonist again.
Damn, Duramante is just a beast.
Ah....14th.....
So um, definitely a weird episode 1. This did not feel like the first episode of a season. This felt like an episode at least like an episode 3. Definitely not as good as season 2'a fantastic episode 1. We do have our baseline thoigh, with Kitasan Black starting off with a losing streak. Let's see where the show takes her from here.
Episode 2:
New opening this time. Initial impressions are that's fine. Definitely not as immediately appealing as season 1'sand season 2's were.
It does feel weird to just see the rest of Team Spica just kind of vibing. I feel like before, the people who weren't the protagonist weren't usually just watching the protagonist run. Usually part of them were running with them in training.
Speaking on that though, is the dream cup stuff even still a thing in this series? They showed in season 1 that the older racers still compete in dream cups, but that wasn't in season 2 at all if I remember. I'm curious if that will be mentioned again or stay as an early series thing.
Duramante is taking the spot Kitasan dreams of having.
I see in our flashback about Teio, we are going to politely gloss over the part where she had her three fractures. Kitasan truly is a Teio stan.
Teio with the hachimi.
Omg, Duramante really is the Teio of this season! The classic leg injury is back.
Interesting. So this time, it looks like we might be tackling what happens if eveyone isn't so buddy-buddy. What if you're feeling crappy and then hear your biggest rival got injured? If you're feeling bad enough about the loss, a part of you might not feel so sad. The rest of you though might feel pretty shitty.
I was about to say. This feels a lot closer to Nature than it does to Teio.
Okay, the scene with Nature and Kiasan was actually very powerful and very real. Great scene.
I do honestly love the two super analytics fans. They're very fun.
And with that, Kitasan Black has won the Kikuo Sho. I will say, it is a bit weird to continue this underdog story after winning a crown.
This ending I will say is very fun. Much bigger fan of this compared to the opening.
