2nd cour is here!
Thought the whole episode was going to be about Fujimasa March and Yamano Southern until the 2nd half showing Oguri (even though it was mostly focused on the supporting characters still.)

Seems like it's primarily a setup for Oguri's attempt at Japan Cup.
Dicta Striker being threatening and then getting flustered when Oguri didn't seem to understand/care about her threat of her trying to give Oguri's 2nd loss.

New ending with smol Oguri and Tamamo is very cute.
Very much has the vibes of season 2 ending with McQueen and Teio

Wasn't able to catch who voiced who voiced Yamano Southern, going to have to go back and look at the English uploads in a few minutes
Yamano Southern voiced by 田村睦心 (Tamura Mutsumi)



Non-credited OP song "Spurt Syndomer"


New Ending song is 「ふたり」 (Futari) sung by Oguri and Tamamo's VAs

Yay! They are back! I have missed Oguri Cap and Belno Light.

Hopefully this season will be as good as the first one.

Quite an interesting first half focusing on Fujimasa March and Yamano Southern.

The 2nd half of Cinderella Gray coming back after Spring's impressive showing, Oguri Cap's objective is not slowing down from hereon, towards the Japan Cup!

10-FEET's OP is already leaps better than Alexandros's OP in Part 1.


From the outset, Fujimasa March facing her fears head-on, as such with the minor character of Yamano Southern, though with all of her qualms and jealousy, just could not compare to the passion that she had while sparring with Oguri Cap in Part 1, as her eternal rival.

On the other hand, Oguri Cap is ready to face the Japan Cup arc, though she's not quite there yet with the loaddown from Sakura Chiyono O on the races available to participate in. Alas, Dicta Striker thinking she can put one over Oguri Cap in participating in the lower races, the latter is already aiming higher thanks to her loss to Tamamo Cross.

The field resistance with Yaeno Muteki, after witnessing Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross's intense race, in preparation for the Kikka-sho race ahead, it's all hands-on deck for her to take the Double Crown.

The 2nd Cour is going for the races alright!

Umamusume.
They are born to run.
Alright, no seriously by now we all know how this works, no need for an introduction lol. It’s the start of a new Umamusume season/cour, so ofc we’re getting introduced to some new ones. Just wouldn’t be Umamusume without it, would it. Obviously there’s going to be a new obstacle for Oguri this season, but we’ll see that in due time. For now, it’s back to Oguri and the gang at school, just the usual antics. Not much has changed there, and honestly, not much needed to lol.

Yaeno was the main focus for most of this episode, but judging by how things ended, there’s definitely more to come, which feels only natural. As for how Oguri will handle things, we’ll just have to wait and see. Fine return overall, though I do need more Oguri onegaishimasu. OP and ED were def a downgrade from cour 1, btw.

I haven't read the source, but is the Fujimasa March material from the oneshot sidestory people have talked about? If yes, then terrific, fans are eating good.

I have mixed feelings about both opening visuals and song, but still it's hype.

Nothing much more to say, as it felt like the set up for a set up. That woman at the end, is she Super Creek's trainer? Possibly my hottest female trainer design then.

ED is magnificent. Tamamo and Oguri singing together is absolute W.

It was up in air whether Fujimasa March was ever going to be animated in her signature racewear but they did actually adapt Mermaid left Behind. A good way to start the season by reminding of the humble roots of Kasamatsu as well as the friends and rivals Oguri had there. She might have lost the fall Tenno Sho but she has come a long way.

Also shows all the classic runners getting restless after aforementioned race and back onto their training, will be interesting if any of them participate in Japan Cup/Arima?

So glad to have Cingray sundays back again :)

Also opening is fine but not as iconic as the first one sadly.

Glad to have the horses back on Sunday mornings again since we last had them back in the spring, and hey I actually watched the movie this time lol, took me long enough. I do still have one sin however, and it’s that I haven’t tried the game yet, I fully intend to but it just hasn’t happened yet, maybe I’ll do it within the runtime of Part 2 of Cinderella Gray here.

And returning back to the series we got a bit focused on Fujimasa March which I really liked, from the looks of this thread apparently folks were wondering if they’d even adapt this story, well I’m really glad they did because March doesn’t deserve to be forgotten, this way we know she’s still out there chasing Oguri as her original rival, it was very heartwarming seeing her return to form as she beat Yamano Thousand (Southern? I’m guessing that’s the real horse name), she may have started off kinda mean but she was one of the necessary sparks in bringing March out of her slump, March’s race wear is very cool too.

And the rest of the episode was buildup for what’s to come with Oguri Cap and some of the other horse girls we’ve come to know, poor Dicta Striker tho lol, it was cute seeing her get flustered when her epic proposal was shot down, the mayonnaise line caught me off guard too. Yaeno Muteki seems pretty hyped too, and she’s got a good trainer making her rest when needed, rip his eye tho lol, scalded by hot tea. That trainer at the end tho, damn she’s pretty, I wonder what horse is under her care. And as much as I miss the original OP and ED, I really like this new pair, the 10-FEET OP is badass although I think I do prefer OP1 as of rn, and the Oguri and Tamamo Cross VA sung ED is really nice, it’s fitting for their current rivalry.

@TheColonel76 What movie? You better try the game soon and make sure to add me while you're at it lol.

Glad to see fatty back in the second cour though I'm bit surprised to see that this only have 10 episodes. This episodes is certainly takes its time slow to seo up for their upcoming rivalry in the races. Most of them are aiming so they could face their rival again or taking revenge but for Oguri she wants to fight Tamamo Cross again without any care of the distance. It's good to know that she's not just "no thoughts head empty", other umas are surprised with how high her aim on the Japan Cup lol. Watch out for yet another good pairing between Ardan and Chiyono O there. Mommy freak is lurking around passing by to greet us. Oguri better unlocked her potential level 3 Gourmand real quick if she wants to have a chance against Super Creek in the stamina game.

As much as I loved the first OP of Part 1 (gave me a bit 90s vibes), the new one feels like they switched to a higher gear already. And I liked how this episode just kept up with the theme of rivals/friends encouraging each other to new heights.
I really hope this show gets the attention it deserves.

The second cour of Uma Musume is finally here! If this cour is as good as the first, I would say this anime is the anime of the year for me.

It's great to see March again, she's my top 3 best characters from the first cour. March's character development is so peak.

FATTY is back with her peak comedic facial expressions. The Japan Cup is our next goal, and it's time to get revenge on Tama-chan. Oh my god, they teased us with Super Creek—I need more of her.

The opening theme for this second cour is weaker than the first one, I just love Alexandros sm. And the ending theme, what I like about this ED is the visuals, it's just sooo cute to see Ogurin and Tama running side by side. And the song itself was good, but season 1 was still better. However, I think both the OP and especially the ED can grow on me over time.

Some of these girls have such big mouths lol. “I’m going to DESTROY you, Oguri!” “I’m not even GOING to that race 💀”. Now I have something to look forward to after Japan's depressing loss at the Arc today. Woke up early and everything.

@WaterMage I haven't read the manga, but thie opening visuals barely focussed on the foreign rivals. Unless they change it later in the relevant episodes, this means Japan Cup arc isn't that long. Both OP and ED exclusively show Tama and Ogurin. So, personally I think they might just adapt Arima Kinen 1988.

@Laplace_kun my Uma knowledge is based on only game. And I haven't at all looked up this period races. Only things ik is from Super Creek career. And Arima Kinen will feature her(probably). But only 1 race for Oguri for entire season is weird unless they drag one race for 3-4 episodes. 2 episodes of Tenno Sho was long enough as it is.

First week of part of Cinderella Gray, starting to watch march in her cute short hair. God those phones are rediculas. Did you know that some Uma actually have human and Uma ears? crazy right? meaning that they proabaly dont need them phones.

Oh this is a March episode, ok, Tokai Derby was the big bag last season for one third of the show. but is now being talked about like its a BIG status one of the Umas have accomplished. she just spoke a paragraph length in one nano second. god I love how anime this whole show is, the pause, the gasp, the seriousness over some rivalry, so anime.

Oh wait, Sakura? not just March? nvm then. OGURI YOU FAT FUCK! I LOVE YOU "is mayonnaise an instrument?" head ahh.

That was a cute episode!! cant wait for more!

It was a good first episode but perhaps not as engaging as I thought it was going to be, I suppose it makes sense though; the conflicts for the season need to be set up first. Still, this episode didn't quite manage to hook me like the first episode of Season 1 did.

With the first half of the episode being an adaptation of a side story chapter, I wonder if the production team decided later on to add it into the season, which might explain why it wasn't as polished as usual? I haven't seen anyone else talking about it, but that first half was significantly worse looking than the Tracen Academy scenes in the second half. Lots more still frames and the like, and that race was in that section, too. They always used CGI in the races, especially during the earlier parts of them, but I'd agree this particular race was somewhat below average.
