Ah yes, the often under appreciated S1. It’s just a fun ride, honestly. And what it leads to is truly exceptional… And as far as I’m concerned, only the second weakest season of this show tbh. Edit: I mean this season is the second weakest, to be clear.

Making light of my favorite Uma Musume Rice Shower are you now...

I meant this is the second weakest season. The second season is easily the best one and one of my favorite anime of all time. Sorry if that was unclear.

My bad for making assumptions, I am looking forward to enjoying the peak that is season 2 with you!

Ah, Umamusume time. It was inevitable. I love the Umamusume anime, and as much as it saps my time and money, I love playing the game too. Hm, three episodes all at once is a lot to comment on, so let's stick to background today. That said, it's still gonna be a lot... As always, I think I know what I'm talking about, but if anyone actually reads all this and sees I'm wrong about something, feel free to correct me. So in the universe of Umamusume, some girls are born as horse girls. A horse mom will always give birth to a horse girl, but a human mother can beget an uma as well sometimes. Whether it's actually a matter of genetics or not is not explained, I don't think. Some if not all umas are blessed by the spirit of an irl racing horse, and this influences their personalities and talents, even their fates. Their parents get their names through basically divine revelation. Speaking of which, many Umamusume worship the Three Goddesses, said to have blessed the world with Umamusume. These Three Goddesses are inspired by three irl horses that became the sires of the modern day thoroughbred horse breed. It's believed nearly all racing horses can draw their lineage to one of those three. If I recall that correctly. In Umamusume, racing in Japan is overseen by the URA, which is based on the irl JRA, Japanese Racing Association. All of the races in the real world, including the particulars of their tracks, their histories, etc are reproduced in Umamusume. These can all be split into two categories, graded and ungraded. Ungraded races are generally local races, including regional circuits. Some ungraded races are called Maiden Races, and are intended for newcomer umas to debut in. Most other ungraded races require winning one or more races in order to participate. Graded races are the bread and butter of both the anime and game, and make up what is called the Twinkle Series. Basically, these are the national races, though there are graded races hosted throughout the country. There are three grades, G3-G1. The G1 races are the most prestigious, and irl have strict requirements in order to enter them. While G1 races get all the limelight, G2 and even G3 races are still a huge deal, and most horses/umamusume never even get the chance to participate in one. Special Week meanwhile was able to qualify for the G2 Yayoi Sho after running in just two races, both of which she won. Even amongst G1s, some races stand above the others. The Classics is the most prestigious circuit in the JRA/URA, and is highly selective. Only 3-yo horses in real life can participate, and in Umamusume that translates to girls in their second year of racing. They are truly once-in-a-lifetime races. The pinnacle of the Classics are three G1 races: the Satsuki Sho, the Tokyo Yushun (usually called the Japanese Derby in Umamusume), and the Kikka Sho. These are the most challenging and most prestigious races one can run in in their classic year. Special Week qualified for the Satsuki Sho in episode 3 by winning the Yayoi Sho. However, between the intense competition, her relative lack of experience, and unintentional weight gain (both in Umamusume and irl), she(/he) placed only in 3rd. Still, it is important to note that still marks Special Week as one of the best in her generation, and is good enough placement to qualify for the Derby next month. Okay, one final thing. The timeline. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THE TIMELINE. It doesn't make sense, it never will, and that is okay. Just enjoy the pretty horse girls.
