| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Nobody wants to lose and welp, I smell a slight rivalry between Seiun Sky and Special Week. Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight! I noticed Special Week is giong through some more intense training lol. Gotta do what's needed to improve I guess. I think she has a fear of heights too. Once again, we have Special Week compete in another horse race. Personally, I think shes improving. |
 |
| Special week learned a few things and gained a few rivals as well. Hopefully she will use this lesson to her advantage next time. I have to say not taking into account slipstream is a pretty big mistake seeing it's a pretty basic thing to take into consideration it's used in a number of sports and engineering. |
| hmmm split cour? |
  |
definitely interesting |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Big fan of them explaining more about the races (slipstream, different running style), that had me immediately more excited. |
| Yey the fatty lost again. Also they gonna sell the ginger girl like if she was some kind of horse! wait ... The episodes are pretty much the same all the time, can't tell how long i would stick with this one ... but wait this is fourth episode already ... whaaat. |
 |
| Special Week learned new things and got her spirit back. Pretty much a setup episode for the Derby race. I wish they focus a little bit on the other horsegirls in Spica, though. I hope Suzuka's drama won't drag on for long. |
| Guess we were right last week. Special Week got thicc. Am I supposed to remember all the different/new horse girls from different teams they're pulling out of their ass every few minutes? |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Who the fuck carries a fucking carrot on their morning walk? |
| This show is really starting to grow on me. Must be tough diet when not even carrots are allowed xD On the bright side,Spe-chan might have lost again,but she's still cheerful. And nice to see that Urara is also doing better now. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I wonder how the trainer keeps his bones intact from getting kicked by horses all the time. |
 |
| Really fun episode, I hope Special week wins the derby, but as I hope that, I'm also thinking that Seiun Sky is a really interesting character, lets see how everything goes (Special will obviously win) |
 |
| these nameplates give me tokyo ghoul investigators vibes, nobody ever remembers them applying aerodynamics, lol, that's a part of what racing games have told me. and what's that thing behind vodka's hair? could find what that is on the irl horse image |
 |
| I'm really enjoying this series, I really wanna see how the Derby turns out!. I hope they give more protagonism to the other girls from Spica |
| Another good episode. Trainer-san dropping some foreshadowing... |
 |
| Tough times for Spe-chan, she really is trying hard to get stronger and win! Though it was a loss against Taiki Shuttle, I guess that race gave her some useful tips. Well played, Trainer-san! A rivalry between Seiun Sky, El Condor Pasa and Special Week. Interesting! CondemneDio said: Who the fuck carries a fucking carrot on their morning walk? THIS |
| As odd as it all seems, I am starting to enjoy this more and more! Trainer-san is getting more familiar with being kicked by horse-girls at this rate. That censor for Special Week's weight tho XD Nothing wrong with getting a little thicc.... She's so clumpsy that it's adorable. |
 |
| Oh man, Special Week's expressions always get me into a laughing fit. Seeing her react like that after weighting herself was gold! XD Another thing that interested me was that Special Week was running with odd shoes in the previous race. I do think that was more of a factor of her losing the race, along with the lack of technique. Either way, having her have a mock race against Taiki Shuttle helped her a lot though. She did lose, barely, but learning about slipstreaming/drafting from behind other competitors (Thank you Forza Horizon) and changing to shorter strides on hills will help her a lot for the Japan Derby. And help her it damn well must, since El Condor Pasa is aiming to win her sixth straight victory at the derby too. Special Week is going to have to be beyond 100% to win, but I do hope she does. Great episode once more and Suzuka does seem to concern me though. Any chance that another team to hoping to take her from Team Spica? |
| Oh, so that's why Special's uniform didn't fit right... it seems so obvious now that you know it, lol. But I gotta say, I really like the way that they're having Special improve slowly over time. It's not 'loses, fixes one mistake, BAM wins everything', but instead she just slowly figures out ways to improve and become faster. For an anime with a premise as stupid as this, that's a surprisingly brilliant pacing. |
| Horse girls are cute, I really like El Condor Pasa, hope her and her attempts at engrish get more screen time. Actually learning about horse racing too, learning is fun. |
  |
| All those fat horses ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) A mock training gets spe-chan some good techniques to follow. |
 |
| Good think Suzuka is around to help Special Week out when she's not paying attention like all those times at the beginning. Lol at the censoring out the amount of kilos she gained, now I understand we her outfit didn't quite fit and why she was a bit slower during that race. Lol again at all the girls kicking the trainer in unison. After watching that mock race I understanding what the trainer saw during the review, and by setting up that race against Taiki Shuttle Special Week learned a lot of things and is now starting to enjoy racing, she has benefited a lot from this. Special Week, Seiun Sky & El Paso Condor all racing against each other, should be a very exciting race to watch. |

| Dude Oguri Cap needs her own episode to shine lol (the long white haired horse girl that is always eating in the background) |

| man this show is fun to watch love how they added in some aerodynamics was like shes slipstreaming she gonna keep up then they explained it lol all we need now is for them to awaken their "NOS" for added boost effect i know they can do it. didn't expect El Condor Pasa to be such a powerhouse from the start you'd think the main one would be suzkua but it has me worried what they might do with her. rumor of a split cour has me pumped even more chances for new girls will say like everyone else dude walking his dog was random af carrying a carrot my take is since it's common place for horse girls to be running there training he brings it in hope of giving it to one of them but who knows |
 |
| Funny how she realized she puts on weight and why she lost fo Seiun Sky. Not expecting Spe chan to win against Taiki. I think it would be kind of BS if Spe chan won considering Taiki is more experience and more faster. At least she's learning. Thought, I'm looking forward to McQueen joining team Spica. |
| Glad to see that despite losing, Spe-chan is still learning and hopefully she shows up big at the derby! |

TsundeReaper said: A horse girl? Maybe or most probably a horse girl It was referenced to that man with the dog that Spe-chan bumped into while she was on her morning run. As a token of apology, the man offered Spe-chan a carrot. Now the man is not an horse girl by any means and I'm pretty sure dogs don't really eat carrots and so that was funny xD |

|
| Of course this is all a set-up for Spe-chan to get B U F F Bulk and cut your way to victory, thiccpone~ |
| Another frustrating week with Spe-chan losing again. But it looks like she picked up a few important techniques during the mock race. I'm really hoping Special Week kicks ass in the Derby. |
| LOL, the swimming pool scene got me good for a moment, LMAO. Another great episode as usual. Especially the mock race was amazingly done. Really loving this show so far, definitely high up there this season for me. |
  |
| AAAAaaaaaaaayyyyy so fatty did get thicc, and as expected, we turn to dieting, which was a very difficult challenge for Special Week. Had she kept that training up, she'd be knocking people out with one kick. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |

| LOL Spe-chan gained a lot of weight it always embarrass her! Special Week lost again for the 2nd time but it was just a Mock race against short distance race champion Taiki Shuttle! Looks like Special Week learned more strategies like slipstream & short-stride running! Spe-chan is improving that's for sure! 5/5. |
 |
| Please stop spoiling the series because of their real-life horse counterparts. Now I know one of them is going to die. |
| Hey, now the weird fatty stomach scene in last week ep is getting make sense. She really gained weight ! Slipstream thing is really catch me, but what come on my mind after that is some car racing game, not horse racing (LOL) |

ramendik said: Real life Special Week is a stallion and is, in fact, in active breeding. But real life SIlence Suzuka was injured and put down ON TENNOSHOU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silence_Suzuka So will something really scary happen to Silence Suzuka in this anime and is that when the anime suddenly turns darker? Well, if they want to faithfully recreate their history chi, silence suzuka your future is full of suffering. Nos leemos |

ramendik said: Mormegil said: Please stop spoiling the series because of their real-life horse counterparts. Now I know one of them is going to die. We don't really know this, the question is how they will handle the episode. For me it's the biggest question about this anime now. I'm half-joking around anyway. :D |
| Spe chan was really worried about her weight, until everyone calms her down. That special training was more like torture. The trainer isn't going to get over that leg fetish. The race against Taiki shuttle was great. Special Week really held her own, and even got thanked by her opponent, in a way. It's kind of weird getting all into horse racing, but I'm loving it. |
 |
| Enjoyed this episode as well! At least Special Week is improving! I really did not expect her to win against Taiki Shuttle. Can't wait for the next the episode! Hopefully the Derby occurs. |
| Spe-chan seems to be a girl who can also learn by herself without the help of others, not bad as quality. The story this time I liked very much, it makes me feel to see the character of Haru engage so much, I am very nice. Funny characters, the simulated race was also quite compelling, I want to see the next episode as soon as possible. Although not a core anime series, the quality of the drawings and animations is more than good. |
 |
| Some nice funny moments again, and the kept the drama light regarding the issue of dieting and weight loss, which can be a serious problem if not managed correctly. So I'm glad they didn't make too much of a big deal out of it Definitely some foreshadowing with Suzuka, who apparently doesn't enjoy racing. Hopefully the names are the only thing these characters have in common with their RL counterparts |
