This is a bit annoying

It's based on real life horse races, do you expect them to just change the outcomes that have already happened?

This isn't my opinion, but I'll quote it:

"Sure, the title clearly says 'Cinderella Gray', referring to the color of Oguri's IRL horse. But the term 'Cinderella' itself can be interpreted even further, which is to describe the Cinderella stories of each Uma."


In additions, I'd say Oguri's career (so far) looked like Verstappen's Red Bull debut. Max might already win in Spain (because of Mercedes lol) after switching cars with Kvyat, but you had to wait 5 long years for him to dominate Formula 1.

"the mc doesn't win so i'm dropping the show"? you sound like an absolute toddler mate

it's based off the real life oguri cap so there are gonna be some wins and some losses.
If you want a season with no losses then beg Cygames to adapt T. M. Opera O's 00' season

@WaterMage Btw an anime about Opera's 2000 era has the chance to be one of the best films in sports anime history.

Because it is barely about the wins.

that's either

1. because anime or certain anime has brainwashed you into thinking that there is no well acclaimed existing media with extremely dominating athletes

2. you have negligible knowledge of Opera's lore and how emotionally wrecking and inspirational potential this has.

But then again, this is MAL.

@WaterMage
1. You don't have to say that, your very assumption that a dominant winner (according to results) = boring kinda speaks about the scope of media you have been exposed to.

Not that I am capable of judging you, I am just speaking from your comment.

2. Yeah, then just leave that part? You haven't shown any interest on knowing why it's interesting, but have expressed "I don't want an Overlord Opera" multiple times without knowing about the topic. So I felt I just needed to clarify.

It is misleading in general, would have been more appropriate for certain other characters.

Your take also reinforces the OP's delusions of Opera, also some others who have little to no knowledge about the horse lore or her character except "aura farming Overlord". But I know you at least play the game and have some lore knowledge, so I just felt like communicating.

*********


changing the topic, Vodka-Daiwa rivalry has potential, but the writers need to up their ante from whatever they cooked with Kitasan and Duramente. It is not a conventional rivalry as many people think and these two mares belong to different spheres and talents. It will just feel lukewarm if not handled smartly. I'd personally would also love some Aston Machan screentime thrown in here, but then again, writing has to be on top gear here to not mess things up.

Op is sprouting that he likes Opera because dominant winner. While Oguri has much more wins in same year.

The assumption that Opera didn't have "competition" simply because he won all in a year is false anyway.

If you have the time to watch JRA stakes CMs, look for Opera's, particularly the 2013 Arima Kinen one. The narrator doesn't hype Opera's achievements. He just says "The horse was surrounded. The path should have been gone. T.M. Opera O, what drove you to run? We see dreams because of your battle".

Also all UmaMusume are my favourite, so that's technically not wrong? Forget about being hurt, I couldn't care less.

I just don't like spread of misinfo and misinterpretation of characters with little knowledge of them.

@WaterMage It is 2013 JRA CM, not 2000. How would an advertisement for a race show the result for a race it is advertising? I can't with MAL, lmao.

Also my mentioning the narration of the CM is not even 10% of what Opera went through. I quoted it because it is a glimpse of how the world remembered Opera more than a decade after his passing, not your fanfic dominant ace with no competitors. Digital ending his era when he's already passed his prime carries very little meaning compared to Doto beating him, preventing him from breaking Rudolf's record and also a European tour where Opera's pedigree could have been more suitable for than Japanese tracks.



You already saw something similar in Cinderella Gray though?



Sure, if thinking that helps you sleep better.

I wrote 2013 Arima Kinen and meant it. Wdym? Please read full sentences, do not bother to reply if you can't.

You simply skipped the event with Oguri I am referring to. And the question was about how to execute it. Because the event in question is pretty much similar.

If this means "hostility" to you, this would explain a lot about how you have either wrongly perceived certain things so far or gone strong with preconceptions which have little basis.

@WaterMage ok, just ask? I mean it's not like you are obliged to get obscure references from an internet idiot.

JRA CMs or commercials are basically ads for the upcoming race. They have sometimes featured past legends who succeeded in that same race in these CMs sometimes. So this one is the CM for the 2013 Arima Kinen featuring the clip of Opera O in the 2000 Arima Kinen.

The tale of that is something else. First of all, Opera hurt his eye beforehand and it was not in a good state.

Opera was an unimpressive pedigree horse (for JP standards), brought cheaply, doesn't even have stud value because his own father is a cheaper substitute. People used to remark he looks kinda meh compared to the graceful and handsome Sunday Silence descendants. He's not from Shadai group either and he's not only beating Sunday Silence descendents but also horses rode by Take Yutaka. And his own jockey is the inexperienced Ryuji Wada. They wanted him to fail. And what is not the best arena except the 45th Arima Kinen?

And they nearly succeeded. There was no inch left for Opera to pass. Commentator has given up. The jockey himself has given up. Then something incredible happened. Stay Gold started one of his weird maneuvers, leading to a slight opening. Opera simply saw that narrow opening with nearly half of his eyes fully functioning and accelerated. It happened within 200 metres. He managed to beat Doto just barely.

Later it was found Opera was full of cuts and bruises from all the jamming and the narrow escape. The jockey barely could hold back his tears as he admitted that this was Opera's win. He personally gave up, but the horse didn't.

@GTRaijin They can but that's not the point, i'm just frustrated at the lack of Oguri in the show even tho she's the mc, those are simply my personal feelings and i'm trying to see if other people feel the same way
