Dang, those horse girls can't have things going well, can they. Trainer's going to be breaking out the tarpaulin at this rate.

Hopefully the ending will have a moment of joy, and not leave us with the taste of ashes.

Those poor girls just cant have any luck either one of them are injured or both are

This season has been a nightmare for these two. I swear the trainer is going to be curled in a corner presuming he's cursed at this point. Just can't catch a break.

Man, I'm done with this shit. No one can catch a goddamn break in this season. Teio better make a miracle happen at that race or all hell's gonna break loose. Also, the scene at the end with Teio simultaneously comforting McQueen and basically saying "watch me win this race" when she's at her lowest point was badass and kinda savage. She literally just walked away while her friend is on the ground and all wet from the rain. xD

I also like the positions switching here.

This show peaked at episode 8. Everything after that felt like they were trying too hard with all the injuries and whatnot.

All in all, it was okay, but the first season was better.

Master_Yoma · 2021-03-29, 20:52

That was one good race Teiou pushed her self past her limits

Well both those girls are bald they really should of take the tv out of the salon and the scissors from her

8/10 Need more of these girls

Teio winning feels like an asspull, but I honestly don't really care. It was the miracle that needed to happen and I have tears right now. I loved that Teio won, and happy that the other racers were happy to have her back on the green. Suzuka making an appearance was a nice surprise as well. The running gag with the barber and the lady is also incredible.

Also fun to see Kita and Dia all grown up and attending the horse academy. But I dunno what that final scene was with Teio and McQueen. Did McQueen conquer that disease? Or was it some kinda dream sequence where McQueen and Teio are actually dead and they are racing in horse heaven.

May feel like an asspull, but they were actually keeping it pretty close to the historical reality with Tokai Teio's "miraculous return" winning the 1993 Arima Kinen after one year of injury-related absence.

Here's a video of the actual race, the last spurt of Teio against Biwa Hayahide starts around the 50:00 mark.

If it's accurate to history, then who am I to say what's what. Even better that she won!

Wow. Well spotted. Knowing that makes the ending even better that it's based on a real event not just 'protagonist favour'.

BD Vol 1 sold 112,030 in first week, which is a new record. Although it’s thanks to gacha code bundled.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for final thoughts: 8/10 I think it was a fairly solid story... Outside of the fact that every single bit of drama in this anime comes from broken legs. Heck, they even have broken leg drama DURING another broken leg drama. I guess when you do race horses and force yourself to be "realistic"(... but only sometimes), that is what happens. What are you gonna do for season 3? Choose another race horse and break her legs too? __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
