| Pretty good start of this series I must say, it has a strong slice of life setting with lots of other elements mixed into it. While it might be a bit much at first, I do think I will be able to like this series! Looking quite forwards to see what this series has to offer for a story. Let's find out next. |

| Reminds me of Keijo but with horses, looks cool !! All the girls are very cute |

| Nice episode, they are cute |

| Uma musume, a runner girls. Instead of usual girl, its a horses one, with a long tail and ears, they both raced against time to be the fastest in the runaway. Special Week acted as a special one. She needed to build up her talent to fulfilled her mother wish. Ofc they had a nice first friends in the class. Loli pink girl attracted much. But for the surprised Passa became the potential rival. At the canteen scene, that fast and gluttonous uma musume attracted my attention. Not even care about her surrounding. Lol. Meanwhile, at the entering test race, Special Week showed her potential. Lost the start dash, still managed finished in the second positions. However, with that loss, its actually the chance for her to be shine. Moreover, it turned out that her role model was on the same team. Yeah that Silent girl. Silence got transferred, plus that groper trainer-san. Its time for a countryside uma musume to showed the world, whose the Number one, the Special One. Thats the first journey of a horse girl full of highly dreams. Ah, and one more. Holy shit, Special Week mom was so attractive. I wonder where she was born? |

| Hmm, horse girls. Japan keeps coming out with more and more cultured stuff each year. That back kick looked powerful, her legs sure are strong :O . One thing i don't like is that the girls don't neigh like when neko girls say nyaa. Took me some time to realize that i already know the ed from osu!. Overall, looks like a light-hearted show, comedy's pretty good too. I wonder if it is gonna become more ecchi in the later episodes. |
slice of life anime, my one and only. >3 2D>>>>>> |
| Well, that was pretty good episode. We introduce to our MC "Special Week" A Horse Girl that come from Hokkaido to reach her dream to become No.1 Horse Racer in Japan and to Fullfill her promise to her mother. That looks like her dream gonna be chase together with her inspirational horse girl named "Silence Suzuka" that want to be makes inspirational(?) to Others I mean your dream is already come true when Special Week see performance yesterday, Job well done i guess. It looks gonna be a bunch of friends gonna help each other to fullfill each of their dreams. I hope is gonna be a fun ride. The Trainer really makes a really bad first impression to their candidate member, But good thing that just his weirdly unusual habits to check the quality of horse his gonna trained. That moment in the split second I thought the show is gonna turn into uncomfortable ecchi, glad that not happening I Hope So Other cast member also interesting too like Haru Urara that realy high spirited girl but still have low skill to become great horse girl I Know You Can Do It, Ganbare Urara. I really out laughing when Oguri Cap just preparing lunch that 2x that Special Week has and just finshed in matter of 20 Second, That must be a really hungry Oguri Cap right there Or that was just usually she eat in that case was amazing eater right there The Comedic of this show is really great from the first Special Week admiration to the city that gonna she live in to Shockingly one week preparation race in the end. I Really Hope this kind of comedy still in this show to the end. Overall great episode start, Have a great hope this gonna be great anime 4 / 5. |

| Yeah I'm literally just here because of the "ballin'" video. Wasn't expecting much, but honestly, based on this first episode, this might actually be a banger...!! |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| This first ep casually side stepped some sports fiction tropes. At the start Suzuka uses a lot of energy at the start to break away, rather than pacing herself like her trainer wanted. In 99% of other racing stories they would make a point of how this is a silly billy thing to do and have someone overtake them at the end. But she casually kept her lead because she just built diff ig. So you have this prodigious trope defying rival for the MC. She's in a different, more illustrious team than the MC to further illustrate the underdog rivalry. Or not, she wants more freedom, so she joins MCs team, becomes roommates with her and is her first real friend. I didn't expect either of these things, but I appreciate both. I'm mainly watching this because I heard S2 was good, but this is a nice start to S1 as well. |
| this started both well and bad. mrs. el paso paradox speaking that horrible super fake american accent makes me want to tear out all my hair. also whats with their names :D? "special week" |

| Looks like I got tricked into watching yet another idol show lol. And surprisingly horse girls and regular human could coexist peacefully without any sort of discrimination. Her mom is a regular human so that means her father is uma no shounen?? XD Not sure why they need to do idol right after winning the race, they are already tired from running and now idoling? I know this isn't a serious show but still.... Why? Maybe they also need to ride the wave with the idol boom like Bang Dream as a gacha game. Maybe? |

| this was quite enjoyable but im annoyed the trainer is a male. and a disgusting pervert at that, god forbid any male ever be normal. everything else was great 4/5 |
| Starting this about a month after the global release of the mobile game. Loved this intro episode and Gold Ship's kidnap squad. Does Trainer have a skull of adamantium or something though? Not only survived, but face pretty much uninjured from not one, but TWO horse-power back kicks. No wonder Special Week was asking asking if he was alive. Would've put her dream on hold to be arrested for murder :P |

| Coming from Cinderella Gray, looks pretty mid. |

| Also, why they turn Kitahara Jo to a pedo here? Animations shit as well despite watching on BD. Definitely needs a remake after watching Cinderella Gray. |

Reply to cahpanggang
I started watching season 1 again after watching seasons 2 and 3. This episode explains why there is an Amazon banner on the field later, lmao
| @cahpanggang Btw irl Hishi Amazon passed away between Season 1 and 2 |
