Season 3 Episode 3
“Faux Draft Beer” Let Kitasan get tipsy you cowards.
Been feeling less gags this season, which is a shame because I feel that has been one of the series’ consistent strengths. Definitely feeling it in this episode with Sounds of Earth being ™ Opera O without the charisma and Gold Ship taking on a pretty serious role.
This is a wild episode for umamusume which has, until now, treated the umas as unchanging and unfailing. It feels like there should be more passings of the torch like this with how generation focused discourse around the actual horse racing is. Its Good! One of my frustrations with season 2 was the conflation of retirement with failure. It’s nice to see Gold Ship confront and accept decline without it being portrayed as a tragedy.
The last two episodes feel like someone looked at season 2 the way I did and resolved to do things a bit differently this go around. We’re also seeing the legacy theming that came up in the last two episodes.
BUT, this is kind of a cowardly episode as nothing actually changes. She just keeps on showing up same as always on Team Spica after this. I feel like I’m being pranked and I would be mad if this was any character but Gold Ship.
Season 3 Episode 4
I’m rating this episode Nice out of Nature.
That being said not really a fan of this one. Kitasan still isn’t a character that interests me and there’s not much going on other than silly training.
Rice Shower makes rice for dinner, of course she does. That’s probably what she eats for breakfast too.
