| What a sensational race. Keep Fighting Narita Top Road!!!!! I smell some drama from Admiral Vega in future episodes. |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| This was so great. The animation was incredible. The OP slaps so hard. Sadly it's only 4 episodes long. I wanted more. Can't wait for the next episode. |

| I'm so glad the girls are back! Great episode. :3 |
 |
| The whole episode felt like any of the umamusume would have an injury at any moment. Seeing the younger umamu training part, made me think, if people coined the term "umamusume races moms". P.S: I want that statue that appeared at the beginning, but what would be called? Statue of Carroty, and in japanese would be Ninjin no Megami? |

| Holy animation. Amazing start |
Very good! T.M. Opera O  Narita Top Road  Admire Vega |
| Mene, mene, tekel, parsin |
| Wouldn't be an Uma Musume episode without Oguri's food belly. Portions seemed larger than usual. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The races were full of adrenaline as always. I really hate that Opera won. But she lived up to that ego. |
| amazing episode as expected from an umamusume anime at the race part in the end i was like "someone's gonna get hurt someones gonna get hurt someones gonna get hurt i swear to god" lmao |
LuffTera said: ufotable horse girls Absolute zero to do with ufotable. Fantastic episode itself. Truly feels like a passion project. Considering it could have been a movie based on its length easily. Her dad introducing Narita felt to me like a breakthrough moment, at least in term of western "fandom" and antis. |

| Cygames Pictures delivers again |
 |
| T.M Opera won the first crown. Don't worry, you can snitch the next one, Top Road! As for you, Vega, hope you find your best performance, i actually sad looking at you at those form... |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| THIS IS SO PERFECT, I CANNOT BELIEVE IT, UMA MUSUME IS ALWAYS SO GOOD!!!! GAME, MANGA, ANIME, IT IS A PEAK FRANCHISE! Top Road is really cute, and this is full of cameos (I saw my girl Smart Falcon eating in the background <3), and I main Curren Chan in the game so I love to see her here uwu I swear CygamesPictures is so underrated when people talk about the best animation studios, it is absolutely top tier. It's kinda sad and unfair they decided to use them for this 4 ovas and not for the 3rd season of the main anime, since Studio Kai did a really mid job with S2... If someday they decide to animate Cinderella Gray and it isn't made by CygamesPictures I'll off myself. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Those fierce looks near the goal reminds me of Higurashi series. |
| High intense racing with some crazy movement. |
| Nice start to the short season, like the girls. |
 |
| I forgot how intense the races were in this series, was at the edge of my seat even though I wasn’t too sure which girl I wanted to win |
 |
| These races are actually so intense TM Opera winning after all that build up is crazy |

| I’m finally correcting the cardinal sin I’ve committed by not watching this ONA series back when it came out, I actually meant to watch it before or during Season 3’s airing but that didn’t happen lol, so with Cinderella Gray keeping Uma Musume on my mind this spring I figured I’d finally give it a watch, and it was damn good. They really got a good production for these 4 episodes if that race at the end was any teller of that, same with the OP, and not just that but the whole episode looked really good, so many nice looking scenes throughout focused on each horse girl this short series is focusing on. And the horse girls in question are Narita Top Road, Admire Vega and T.M. Opera O, all of them have great designs and are very different from each other personality wise, I like them all but I think my favorite might be Opera O just because of her theatrical style, kinda reminds me of “Sounds of Earth” from Season 3 because of that, but at the same time I want to say Top Road and Vega are my favorite too lol, they’re all the types you want to root for. But unfortunately there can only be one winner, and Opera O took this one home, leaving Top Road and Vega to wallow in defeat, there’s only 3 more episodes but I’m interested in seeing how the stories of these horse girls play out. And lastly, cool to see the dad of a horse girl here, something I don’t think we ever really get, and also cool to see Oguri Cap because she’s the MC of the currently airing season, but here she’s just her usual silly self that eats a lot lol, it’s fitting she’d be in the corner of another goofy horse girl like Opera O. |
| The Centurial Overlord proves herself from her mere appearence, just as expected of TM Opera O, she manages to reach the speed of light during a mere training session, really nothing can stand in her way! |
