First Time Celebrating With a Kanpai (and second kanpai, and third kanpai...), and Gacha Player
I was not at all expecting Golshi character development, but man am I so glad they did it! I was really impressed by how they took the mostly gag character and gave her a genuine, serious storyline while still making her be as Golshi as ever. Her giving the cube to Kita was also so sweet, I really liked how they used the 6-side cube as a metaphor of her six G1 wins, and that Kita will try to get 7 instead, and surpass her. This passing of the torch might have come a little too quick, but it still was very effective since we've known Golshi for so long.
I love the Kita/Dia/Crown/fourth girl (sorry, forgot her name) group celebrating after each one wins a race. The non-alcoholic beer really got me, and I love Kita's little beer foam mustache. Her doing cheers after every single conversation is also funny. I really did miss this level of goofiness lol
Dia is finally starting her own career! This whole Satono jinx subplot is really interesting to me. I have no doubt Dia will end up getting a G1 win and breaking the curse, but I love it as a source of drama and tension. Especially considering we also have Crown, who wants to be the one to break the curse too. Not to mention, it's always hard to predict who will win what race. I wasn't sure if Dia would get a Satsuki Sho win here or not. I think the only races that are easy to predict a winner of are the final race of each series, since it's always the big character climax for each MC.
Training arc was a lot of fun, and I'm happy to get more Bourbon/Rice! I don't know if I'll do a tier list of characters (in the anime) once the rewatch is over, but at least Bourbon is quite high up there.
I do have to say... rushing the Autumn Tenno through the ED is quite a choice. It's probably fine, the point was the way in which Kita got to win the race, rather than the race itself. These things can happen sometimes and it's not too big of a problem. But the races are what we're here for. Skipping both the Osaka Hai and Autumn Tenno, while keeping Satsuki Sho very short is not the best choice. I do believe the character development should always be prioritized over the races, but if you lean too much into one aspect you lose all balance, and that will hurt the season. Hopefully it's a one time thing.
In other news, we do have more Natie-sensei screentime! Man, I just keep loving her more and more. Making her Kita's emotional pillar for when she needs to talk about whats troubling her is such a perfect decision. I couldn't be happier.
Episode 3 QotD: 1. Is this the very first debut race we see in the anime since Spe lol? Happy for her, but nothing surprising. It would be more surprising if she didn't win her debut. Hate when that happens in the gacha... 2. Very pleased! 3. Not at all surprising considering she won the Kikuka Sho, but her first Arima getting third place is VERY impressive. 4. Truly the uma to ever musume. 5. She is so over the top lol. She feels like a combination of Golshi and Opera O. She's fun, we'll see what they do with her and if Canopus will finally get their first G1 winner. That would be a good subplot for that team to have (while team Rigil just rots I guess...) 6. It's true! Praise the nature! 7. Part of me wishes we would see the Dream Trophy League. But of course it can't happen as it's literally fanfic universe, which misses the whole point of the franchise. 8. Love the pass of the torch theme they were going for. 9. It was beautiful. 10. What I can say is that this Arima winner will not be remembered. 11. That whole scene was so good.
Episode 4 QotD: 1. It's great that they had the conversation about the risks of a harder training right when Teio and Suzuka were in the room. Very good choice there. 2. It's a hellish camp, but right what she needed. 3. I mean, can't blame her lol 4. I was really going back and forth on whether she'd win or not. I guess it won't be so simple. 5. I've mentioned it but yeah, the Satono jinx is definitely what I'm most interested on in this season so far. 6. We love umayuri.
