Norn Ace really took my attention on her, she is the cutest character in Uma Musume Cingray so far lol, i really like her.
Oguri's heart was in turmoil at the moment, she really couldn't focus at the moment, her mind completely distracted by the choice Takahara gave her. March slapping Oguri is something I've been looking forward to since the beginning of the episode, I really want to see March and Oguri compete in the Tokai Derby as rivals of each other, seeing a serious Oguri is very scary lmao.
As expected, March simply could not outpace Oguri's speed. March I really feel sorry for you but your rival is just too talented so it will be a lesson for you.
KITAHARAAAAAA, I got goosebumps all over my body when Oguri looked back (and it also happened in Oguri Cap's horseback riding irl looking back while being at the forefront). I couldn't help it when Oguri's crying made me cry too and Kitahara no longer training Oguri was painful to think about.
MARCCHHHHHH I REALLY LOVE YOUUUUUUU, I've missed you so much I really want to see you again. i cried so hard when March bowed her head near Shibasaki, March said that she was weak making her one of my favorite Uma Musume in terms of character writing. really hope to see her back in the future.
Oguri Winning Live has improved a lot since she practiced dancing with Mama Norn lol, Norn couldn't stop her tears when she heard Oguri say she would be moving on to the national level. Kitahara speech made Oguri's supporters very proud of Oguri and wishing Oguri all the best and to be able to carry Kasamatsu's name at the National level, Oguri will be the Cinderella who will beat the best of the best, I'm really waiting for that to happen.
LETSFOOKINGGOOOOOO, Belno taking the entrance exam to Tracen Academy makes me happy because Belno is Oguri's closest supporter and friend in Kasamatsu, it's great to see Belno again in the future.
the trio cried for various reasons lmao. March decides to continue her career until she can't run anymore, March says ending her career just because of a few losses doesn't suit her. at least March's story will beat Oguri's in the long side of both of their careers. I really like this rivalry, one of the best rivalries in anime that I've seen in a while. hope to see March compete again in one land together with Oguri in the future. the last group photo in Kasamatsu and the prologue ended. Thank you Kasamatsu and next is Academy Tracen, I really look forward to the badass episode in the next episode. 10/10 EPISODE, ANIME OF THE YEAR CONTENDERS.

| Peak ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ I expected them to adapt the 1st arc in 6 episodes, so the 2nd arc fits this season, but now I'm not sure, it took them 6 episodes to adapt 16 chapters, there is no way they will adapt the entire White Lighting arc in only 7 episodes, I wonder where this season will end... Anyways, next week I'll finally get to see my dear Sakura Chiyono O being animated ๐ฅฐโค๏ธ |
Sorry if my english is bad (ใฃหโฝห)ใฃ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Glad to see Trainer-san tell Oguri to run, its what he should have done the entire time. I did not expect to see Belno transfer as well, but I guess Oguri needs her personal supporter. |

| @StallionXD Is there enough source material for a 2nd cour? or Movie, at this pace? Because I need as much as this as possible, and need to have hope for more after this season. |

| @Ambeon There's plenty, episode 6 adapts the end of volume 2 of the manga, and at the moment there's 17 volumes of it and still going |

| @Ambeon The manga is still ongoing, but at this pace they have enough content for a 2nd, 3rd and MAYBE even a 4th season. |

| I just caught up until now and for some reason these horse girls always make me want to run but oguri in this episode makes want to run even more |
Did you cry? I know I did. Everyone probably did. Even March Norn  But... Awwwwwwwwwwww!  Also, yes, Norn is the biggest Oguri fan ever  But yeah, Kitahara was quite an imbecile for putting Oguri through that (because he didn't hear the voice of experience, and didn't trust her like he should). Though it was solved in the end quite nicely. She was very pissed and didn't know what to do, though, and that was ugly.  |
| ©2025 LaczPro What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway). And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea). |

Reply to SenshadouOtaku
I hate March so much
| @SenshadouOtaku Why? What's wrong with you? March did nothing wrong. She's just a passionate rival. She's extremely mature even taken the circumstances. She's probably my second favorite character because of how she can contain her fired up anger. |
| They say she is a horse, but in fact she is a GOAT. This is easily my favourite installment of Uma Musume so far. |
 |
| After watching this episode, I have doubts about whether it is right to have an anime season of only 13 episodes, and I'll explain why: if the legend of Oguri Cap in the national championship begins now, isn't it a bit too few episodes to see his climb to the top? For me, yes, but everyone has their own idea. However, it was another episode that proved interesting from the beginning to the end. |

| There will be second part presumably release in autumn season (check news section). Also the manga currently already released about 190 chapters and still ongoing. |

| I criiiiiiiiiiiied |
| well that was bitter sweet |
| Things could've gotten ugly, but it was managed to be resolved in the end! Woohoo! It is a story of breaking promises, recouping, and creating new dreams for even bigger legacies to be born. Kitahara showed us to accept reality as it is and not live in our own delusion. Sometimes, people are just destined for bigger things. Dream big! Oguri Cap is just the goat, its unfortunate that she has to leave the province and compete in the Nationals. I hope we get to see some of Fujimasa March's performances here and there. Like a reference. I hope that in the next arc, they focus on other characters like Kitahara and Belno Light. The emotional impact of Kitahara having to make an ultimatum would've been significantly better if his character were built throughout the six episodes. His development felt rush as we were basically info-dumped by his past. Belno Light just became a side character and hopefully we could see her race more in the next arc even if she's just a side character. I will miss the antics of Mini, Norn, and Rudy. I hope we can still see them from time-to-time. The real-life counterparts and references from this anime though, is what makes it an absolute masterpiece. And finally... Thank you Kasamatsu.  |
 |
| Oguri Cap, Cap as in PEAK, just like this episode. I cried... |
 |
| Predictable sequence of events, down to some of those dialogue choices. Doesn't make it any less emotional though. I ain't crying damn it. In the end seems like March's talent is only on par for regionals. I was hoping that maybe someday she'll join Oguri in nationals but doesn't seem like it as that seemed like a genuine farewell and an end to her racing with Oguri, she said her legend will surpass hers in length atleast. Potentially hinting that Oguri's problem from her childhood may resurface and will have a short career. Hoping the best for Kitahara and love Belno, glad she's going with Oguri. |
 |
| I was really disappointed in Kitahara for not being the best trainer he could be for Oguri and for not being as supportive as he has been before. Instead, he was sulking at the thought of losing her. It's understandable that she's someone who could make his dream of winning the Tokai Derby come true, but due to recent events, their destiny has completely changed. I just wanted to let this out. Their relationship and circumstances aren't ideal to view them in that light, but Oguri and Kitahara give me the feeling of a couple, and I really love certain moments when they give off that kind of energy. Seeing Oguri so sad was tough, and even March couldn't do anything to change that after confronting her about the possibility of her transfer. Even during the race, when Oguri was lost in hopelessness and Kitahara couldn't bring himself to look at her, not realizing how she would take his absurd condition, it made me feel angry at him. Before the race, when Oguri was feeling that hopelessness and that wish to not win, that was a really depressing feeling. It was good to see that Kitahara and Oguri were able to work things out in the end. Now that Oguri is going to nationals, we might not see Kitahara for a while, or maybe not at all, who's to say. Oguri's dance was really charming, and she looked really attractive. Hopefully, she keeps winning so I can keep seeing her dance. |

| Cap's popular now ๐ซก when you have dolls made in your image. Trainer really did give her incentive to lose the race on purpose. Forcing her to do that because she wants to be with him ๐ he knows it's bad but doesn't stop it. When you want March to win ๐ even March knows she's not in it. I guess trainer fixed it in the end, letting her run free. Rip to the Derby, rip regionals. Everybody's gonna miss her now. But I guess it just took a little speech to flip everyone there. ๐ He'll get that license, W. And March won't quit the regionals. |
  |
| Kasamatsu's Gold Junior race for the decidual factor if Oguri Cap stays or goes, is met with sheer disdain from Symboli herself of a forced choice whether she likes it or not. But that's Jones's decision as he sets the wager fof a rather unfair race to both win and lose at the same time, as Fujimasa March makes it clear that Oguri Cap is also betraying her promise as well. Even then so, if it's a decision that'll make or break her future, then it's one that will help chase her dreams forward...the beast in total embellishment. It'll be sad for everyone to miss Oguri Cap, but she will forever be Kasamatsu's Cinderella, along with the farewells of the 3 Stooges and Fujimasa March, and Belno passing her Tracen Sports exam to follow Jones and Oguri forward, the Kasamatsu Arc has finally winded to a close. Oguri Cap, finally on her way to Nationals, but not without Jones taking his National license too... |
 |
| Can't believe this is how Oguri's Kasamatsu regional races chapter ends, without achieving the dream Kitahara inspired her to undertake with the Tokai Derby. What a bittersweet ending as Oguri moves forwards to take on the nationals level racers. |

Onward and upward.
How did Belno qualify to go too?
How did Belno qualify to go too?
| @bushman66 She's not. She apply not for Race Course but Support Course in Tracen Academy |
 |
| Good job on Belno’s part. I figured that would be the path she would be going for based on the last few episodes. Kitahara was getting annoying and I said from the jump that he just needs to take the national trainer test. So after that ordeal, he’s going to take it. Sure it may be hard, but you gotta strive to be the best. Same thing applies to Oguri Cap. It was a good episode for how things played out. The anime is a decent watch so far but, I’m not going as far to say it’s “peak” or anything of the sort. Let’s see how the later half of it pans out now with the arc being over. |

| There aren't any crazy twists or turns, nor anything particularly complicated about Cinderella Gray, but I love the atmosphere and tone of the show. It's a straightforward sports story about a small town athlete who's set to take on the world with strong feelings of pride in one's roots. Not exactly sure why, but I can't think of many anime where an underdog athlete represents their hometown in the big stage. Often times they'd represent a neighborhood or school at most. Perhaps it's because I don't watch enough sports anime? |
| I guess that was the story of our Cinderella Gray |
