Lol, that helmet scene.

Seeing the horse girls SWIM to an island by themselves was rather amusing. The show really puts them into a lot of unorthodox segments tbh. Suzuka recovery impresses me so far (I guess she's almost at 100% at where she is again)

I do like how motivational she stays as a runner though. Not just her actually but all her friends. That segment where they all accidentally ran into the sea was priceless LOL

So both Suzuka and Special Week where down and it effected them a great deal luckily they got there well needed pep talk and it seems they are serious about the next race.
The question is will Special Week do well again or will she have something again that decreases her performance.

training at the beach again. i guess these are the only beach episodes that are not only there for fanservice and don't seem to be out of hand. good thing trainer motivated them, was kinda annoying to see that mental weakness taking ahold of them

on the other hand, i just realized they're all running in heels.. must feel really nice. i don't get this concept of adding heels to any female anime character, either runner or medieval battle vanguard

I hope we see them both race each other for first place blowing past everyone else and set a new record. Suzuka is so slender and streamlined when running, I want her to be my fave in the show but I can't help getting distracted by Teio lol

This was a fun episode and I had to chuckle more once. Some moments and situations were just too hilarous.


And I hope that we will get to see more international competitions.

Shit, just realized that we're already 9 episodes in,soon it's time to say goodbye.

Finally Suzuka-san returned to be like before! No more feeling down, she must be happy, that cutiepie!
I still wonder why Trainer-san didn't think about that road even once and thing "Maybe they won't be able to stop and turn left"

The reason of the heels is actually done to make them more real-horses (comparison horse to human bones: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ef/6d/08/ef6d0895e09ffb401c13e0f99a91fa80.jpg ).

I personally think Spec-chan will win her next race, now that she's mentally gathered herself up.

It's always sad to see characters you like in a complete slump in form. Special Week was still worrying too much about Suzuka that she couldn't get herself in form, despite Trainer's bold target from last week. As for Suzuka, she had that mental problem of holding herself back as she doesn't want to push herself to her limit in case her fully healed leg fails on her again.

So Trainer deserves a big pat on his pack for letting out his frustration at the two during their triathlon event at the training camp. It's a tough love type of approach, but it worked like a charm and it got Special Week and Suzuka fired up again to catch up to the rest of team Spica, which led to a very funny end to the triathlon. XD

While the whole group's morale has shot up again, I do feel for El Condor Pasa. She already lost a race in France from last week and although she gave it everything she had, she couldn't beat Broye in this race. Although she earned respect and praise from Broye, during her phone call to Special Week, she broken down in tears due to the frustration of failing to win again. D=

Either way, with four(?) episodes left to go, I want three things to happen...

1: El Condor Pasa to win a high profile race in France.

2: Special Week to get even with Grass Wonder in any future race the both of them enter. It's a perfect way for Special Week to answer Grass Wonder's criticising question to her from last week by giving it her all and beating her in the process.

3: Special Week and Suzuka to compete in a same high profile race together, probably in the final episode.

These predictions of mine are based on me not doing any real-life researching of any of the horse's racing history, just to note. =)

Either way, great episode and Gold Ship's helmet is OP. McQueen will never injure Gold Ship's eyes again! >=D

Special Week was still worried about Suzuka. It was kinda painfull to see, how Suzuka was mentally suffering that she might injure herself again. They were far from motivated.

Trainer has done a solid job to get his team Spica motivated again, especially Special Week and Suzuka. That triathlon was a very serious matter but the ending was priceless, it was so funny how they ended up in the ocean.

El Condor Pasa is doing well internationally, but came just a little short on her last race in Paris.

Nice to hear for El Condor Pasa, she seems to be living the high life in France.

No surprise Trainer couldn't afford for them to stay at the same hotel Rigil is at, at least the girls seem to be eating well.

I had a feeling that Suzuka had confidence issues, that can definitely happen when you suffer a serious injury.

Great speech there by the trainer, he got Special Week & Suzuka to remember what was most important to them and now those 2 are back to 100%.

Great race by El regardless of the result, Broye was just a little better, it was cool seeing everyone cheer her on back at the school, she was also complimented by Broye which was great.

Special Week & Silence Suzuka are fully motivated to run anytime they want now, looking forward to the next time they race.

Gloomy Spe-chan and Suzuka are now back on their feet thanks to Trainer's encouragement. And not only that he wants all of them to participate. He's a good coach laugh so hard at "I can't stop!" and "neither can we" parts sending them all straight to the water. I'm so glad that Suzuka, Spe and everyone had a laugh. Its time for come to make a comeback and not let team Rigil keep on winning.

It was predictable El Condor will lose against Broya. Only Suzuka and Rudolf are the only two I see who has a good chance in defeating her.

Amazing episode. Suzuka and Spe-chan's confidence are back. Suzuka also seems to be more sociable now. Surprised at them all going into the water by accident. XD

Too bad El-chan lost. But at least the anime is not biased.. they showed that horse girls from other countries are also fast.

This show man... Just doesn't stop amazing me. Why the hell haven't I given it a 10 yet is something I'll probs be confused about till I see another fantastic episode (read: next episode).

Needless to say, this episode was as fantastic as the past, if not better. Oh and this is only the third ever show to have a beach episode that I liked which is saying something.

If we are going to use the Suzuka vs. El Condor match as a way to compare horse girl speed. El vs Broye = the gap is small.. Suzuaka vs El = the gap is really big in the Tennoshou race. I think Suzuka would have a good chance against Broye if they raced.. assuming she would not get tired.

I must say I'm amazed at how good this anime managed to be.

Trainer-san went from filler Male to a genuinely good man that looks after his team, a real pro Trainer that aims to the top and brings the best out of his athletes.

the chemistry between spica is superb, rivalries and everything is handed with good sportmanship.

They really made a good sports anime out of a silly idea.

As expected El Condor Pasa lost to Broye since she's the best in Europe. The best in every country is really on a different level..i wonder who would win if Suzuka vs Broye when Suzuka was at her best? I wonder what would happen?
The training session was great! Suzuka instantly beat the while team Spica!
I hope Spe-chan step-up as well!
5/5.

I hate her too at first coz of her over competitiveness is kind of annoying, insensitive and cocky but she had proven herself otherwise, warmly accepting a tie with Spe and wasn't happy over her "win" against Suzuka and continues to be friendly with Spe and Suzuka despite considering both her rivals. She's surprisingly nice and likeable now but irregardless of all of that, if she actually won against Broye I'd probably still hate her tho coz a character without flaws is just plain badly written

Pretty nice training camp episode, loved that Suzuka could run again like before or at least faster! The ending race with El-chan was also very impressive and well it's normal that she acted that way with a loss so close to victory!

Really like that they focus on various things and not only the team at hand. Up to the next episode!

Putting Spe aside since she was technically training with them the whole time, Suzuka being able to overtake them was kind of ridiculous. She has been out of commission for over 9 months while the other girls on the team have supposedly been improving.
