| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Competition really drives characters to do their best so I'm not surprised to see the horse girls being themselves and trying to improve. Seems the show will likely show how characters can improve given the statistics of the horse girls, at least in terms of their entertainment value It makes me wonder how Special Week can adapt with the other characters. I mean, the anime is based off of a game. The random comedy feels like a hit or a miss, at least for me. More info about the racetracks...oh boy, I hope they cut down on the explanations. It gets slightly tedious. Special Week still needs to improve and that's part of learning. |

| Well you can't win them all and third place isn't that bad either but it was a good lesson for the main seeing she never lost before. The competition took not of her and used it to their advantage. It would be nice to see what they will come up with in order to win races again. |
| Damn, we are getting all battle shounen-ish here. Also, i wonder how is it to run full speed in a high heels ... |
 |
| Another great episode 5/5 Poor Fatty Week Special Week |
  |
| The series is moving quite quickly. I was expecting her skirt to fall off during the race, too bad that didn't happen. Glad they are not going to drag out about her feeling down after that loss. |
| Spe-chan should have kept her diet in check,lol. Trainer was great at the end. Swagernator said: Damn, we are getting all battle shounen-ish here. That would be nice actually. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
 Eat like a horse. Moe done right. I love this show. I thought the outfit being too tight would restrict her breathing, but I guess that's not the canon explanation. She says she ran the same way as before, but I didn't see her use her "wind." |
| You know, I'm still not sure what confuses me more... that someone decided to create a mix of SoL, Horseracing with animal-girls and idols, or that it's somehow a pretty decent anime, all things considered O.o So... am I alone in thinking that her new outfit has something to do with her doing worse than usual? Really seems like it's sub-optimal for her / she's not used to it yet, lol. |
| uhm, they still aren't done with the useless nameplates. it's not like anybody will remember by them "why can't i catch up?" - it's because u haven't done that *swoosh* thing that boosts u up like in shonen anime |
 |
| Special Week's winning streak is over. Press F to pay respects This show still is trying to jam in way too many characters that I will never remember. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I wonder when special week is gonna lose... It seems unrealistic for her to be winning everything... |
| Keiba Collection lol. Just like Kantai Collection, it is based on real horses. |
 |
| Actual horse shoes under human shoes? :o |
 |
| Super glad that they focus on the sports aspect most of the time, that's how it's supposed to be to create the hype. I like how Spe-chan acknowledged what she did wrong and especially that the trainer did the same immediately, he seemed like he was adamant about being lax and having the horse girls deal with the outcome themselves. What i want to mention is the great fair play of the crowd, they cheer for everyone really. |

However three episodes in and it's still thoroughly entertaining as light entertainment that's not trying to be anything else, and once again I'm looking forward to the next episode |
| Man the bit at the end with Trainer-san was great stuff. |
 |
| You're not a furry if they're mostly human right? |
  |
| Guys, only to me it seems that it's a sporting Idolmaster with girls-horses? Male mentor as a surrogate of audience, soft slice of life with idols without excessive fanservice, mobile game as a source... Now it remains only to wait for the male side or at least otokonoko. |

she needs to find her ninj-, i mean, horse way, datteba-yee haw-yo |

Dude that's exactly what I'm saying. I can't believe I'm actually enjoying this XD |
| Special Week wins then loses cause she got arrogant and fat. Feels bad :'( |
 |
| Well yeah Special you're FAT. Time to do some exercice. |
Lol - and I actually did when I read that :) Not that I love my dumb puns too much or anything, but I made an animeme for it. Really I'm just putting off doing housework https://twitter.com/_GeoBass_/status/983070529593757697 |
| Some say that you do learn from losing, so I'm hoping that Special Week gets back to winning ways at the derby next time, assuming that she isn't stuffing her face with junk food and wearing an outfit that isn't too tight on her. I was semi-convinced that her skirt would rip apart during the race, so I'm relived and slightly disappointed that it didn't happen. =P Trainer also took responsibility and blame himself for not doing enough to help Special Week win that G-1 race, so all the more reason for her to win next time so he can show up that business lady rival of his. Either way, this was still a pretty good episode. =) |

| Her weight was slowing her down for eating too much. |

| Their win their races but a train wreck follows, funny headlines there, and here I thought Special Week was the only one that failed during the performance, at least Suzuka impresses on the stage. That was a really good win for Special Week, I thought Seuin Sky was just going to hold on at the end there. Bringing in Teio to help out was a really good call by the manager, it was only a brief scene but the performance looked solid, glad she joined the team, she will be a great addition. Special Week got really fat from eating that food. She really should have mentioned about the dressed not being right, I knew it would affect her a lot. He is a good trainer, being there at the end and giving her encouragement. |

| Another great episode. Special Week is such a glutton, just look at her plate of food, LOL. The ending bit with the trainer was a great moment. Gotta learn from your losses and carry those to your next victory. |
  |
| Another episode full of great racing. Teio taught them how to dance and sing really well. I'm not even going to ask what the purpose of some of that weird training was. Spe chan is rather good at getting ahead when she's a little behind. I didn't expect Teio to join Spica. Too bad she got fat and than didn't win the race after, losing to Seiun Sky and getting 3rd. It was so funny how nobody noticed that she was getting fat. Special Week will just have to make up for it in the next race, and try losing some weight before she has to participate. |
 |
| A loss is necessary for Special Week's growth so her losing the race is expected. But man I'm really falling in love with this anime. My guilty pleasure for the season. |

| What she needs is defeat to improve and she lost for the first time. Her frustration will make her want to improve a lot and be faster. I had a bad feeling that skirt will be the loss of her. I was expecting she'll drop her skirt during the race. I can guess that she ate too much that's why her skirt doesn't fit. She's doing okay with her Winning concert. Teio joins fast. No episode drama whatsoever. But what I wanted to see join is McQueen. Looking forward to her. |
| Irashai, Teio-chan! Haha. I love her already. Haha. I feel bad for Spe-chan, but don't worry, you'll get back up, baby. :) Glad Suzuka-chan is there for her. Ugh. I fucking love this show so much. "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere." Someone enlighten me with this Engrish. Haha. 5/5. <3 |

| There's a vibe of losing flag on early half of the show, and it did hehe. damn gluttony at its best. |
Pyon2WarpKunApr 9, 2018 5:42 AM
 |
| Oh no, Special Week lost. I hope she’ll win the next race Totally in love with this shit |
| Brilliant as always. Spe-chan will definitely win next time!!! |
 |
| Lol, that belly. I actually thought the clothes restricting her was because she was still fat from the other night. I was half expecting that outfit to suffer a wardrobe malfunction and trip her up. She lost....she didn't do the boost thing! They're....they're not gonna put Silence Suzuka down, are they? >_> |
 |
| persistent weight gain actually effecting her outfit the next day lol was real worried about it again this show keeps adding small touches like the prez having a "drink" and it's just carrot juice expected her to lose at some point confirmed Scarlet is thiccccccc damn haha ! |
 |
| Another good episode! Special Week only placed third but with losing and frustration will let her get stronger that's a fact! Maybe Seiun Sky intentionally lost to Special Week so that she could gauge her opponent the next match! Now I wanna see how Special Week would improve and take revenge to all that would defeat her in the future! 5/5. |
 |
| Fuck Seiun Sky, I hope Special Week mops the floor with her in the Derby. I figured there would be trouble at the most important race. But it's a good learning experience for her. Still hoping this focuses on the other girls too, specifically Vodka and Scarlet. Scarlet is especially cute. |
| So she gained weight and couldn't run as fast. Or maybe the new clothes are just too small. Great show so far. Looking forward to her winning her next race. |
