Ah yes, the horse girls are back again this year. Episode 1 out now on Funimation. Let's go!

Master_Yoma · 2021-01-04, 21:54

Well the girls are finely back and there all ready setting the flags for Toukai Teiou

Kazu-kun · 2021-01-04, 21:59

I have nothing against Teio but I'm just not feeling it.

It's a combination of various things. To start with, I think it was a mistake to start off with Teio already been at her peak. The journey from newbie to star is more interesting. The other thing this season is lacking is heart. In the first season the heart was the relationship between Spe and Suzuka, which was even more significant because those two were siblings in real life. These season is trying to set up something between Teio and McQueen but it's not even close to Spe and Suzuka.

I'm gonna keep watching but my interest is low.

serenade_beta · 2021-01-05, 01:06

Lol, it's like "Hey PA, the series is popular enough now, so let's just take your assets and move to a cheaper animation company!"

Anyways, it wasn't really that bad of a start, even though I don't really care about horse racing and thus the story that much.
Also, the CG was really really ugly. Any scene that used CG for more than a second stood out really badly.

Liddo-kun · 2021-01-11, 02:36

episode 1:

feels very cliched with Teio winning, then showing the leg shiver at the end.. drama is obviously incoming. But still.. this is Uma Musume! so will watch for a bit.

6/10

Stark700 · 2021-01-11, 12:27

Teiou's fear of needles reminds me of Goku LOL

Lukes YGO & WS on YT · 2021-01-11, 18:37

The feels were strong with this episode.

even I was getting a little emotional during the race.

Master_Yoma · 2021-01-11, 22:07

So Toukai broke her leg I guess it was just pushing her self way to much

FlareKnight · 2021-01-11, 22:55

Too bad she couldn't make it in time. It was a really close one. That race was just close enough to not give enough time to fully rehab and just far enough off to give the tantalizing chance of pulling it off.

My condolences to the girls who were able to take part in the race. No matter how fast they run, you can't outpace expectations. All the more so since the winner was the one who came in second to Teio in the previous race. The "if Teio had been able to race she would have won" will be the takeaway from this. Not their fault of course. They can't control who could and couldn't take part in this race anymore than they can control how people will view the results.

At least all the hard work wasn't in vain. Teio couldn't make it for the race, but she is well into her recovery. And true enough she can still chase the goal of being undefeated. Definitely needed something to fuel her drive and keep pushing after such a brutal disappointment here.

Liddo-kun · 2021-01-16, 19:38

episode 2:

the drama was ok I guess. But somehow feels like story is lacking the intensity of the original.

Master_Yoma · 2021-01-18, 22:12

So the rivalry between Teiou & McQueen started back when they first started school

Gold Ship still having really bad luck

AntonKutovoi · 2021-01-25, 15:39

I did not expect to see a shirtless Takaya Kuroda in Uma Musume S2 of all places...

Master_Yoma · 2021-01-25, 22:07

Poor Gold Ship she really needs to reacted faster when Special Week coming over with something

FlareKnight · 2021-01-25, 23:01

RIP to poor Gold Ship's back. Of course at some point she should just say "you've nearly paralyzed me multiple times. Jump over a log!" Special Week is going to get someone killed with her food runs regardless though

.

In the end I think Teio has this. While there's pressure on her, she seems to be having more fun with it. Fair point that McQueen got that focusing too much on her rival and not on the race itself could be problematic. Interesting interpretation on the hare vs tortoise situation.

At least the feeling of this episode for me is that McQueen could be headed for a frustrating conclusion.

Cloudedmind · 2021-01-26, 04:40

McQueen really shouldn't be using her grandchild as a hurdle. Gold Ship won't have much of a back left when it's all said and done.

Anyway it was cute to watch McQueen, Gold Ship, and Special Week have a little family time.

As one of my aquitances joked "Kiryuu-chan found a new job after retirement".

Kazu-kun · 2021-01-27, 12:29

McQueen feels so much pressure because Teio is undefeated, but the truth is being undefeated doesn't mean shit. El Condor Pasa and Grass Wonder were undefeated too and Suzuka still kicked their butts to oblivion. lol

McQueen should forget about Teio and just focus on her own running.

blakstealth · 2021-02-01, 21:55

Sheesh, what an emotional race.

blakstealth Les Pays Bass Join Date: Jun 2011	Sheesh, what an emotional race. Spoiler: McQueen crushed that race. Teio was at a disadvantage with the distance, and it seems like all that stamina training wasn't enough. She didn't even finish close behind McQueen. That hug at the end was very sweet. :')
