which of the other Umamusume anime is similar to Cinderella Gray? Would enough context be given to watch a season as a standalone series instead of starting from season 1?
You could try the movie Uma Musume: Road to the Top and Uma Musume: Begining of a New Era. Haven't watch either, but I've hear a lot of praise for them
I kinda doubt they would do that. Cinderella gray's story is based on real life story Oguri Cap. I'm not familiar with Japan's horse racing scene so this is just a guess, but I don't think they would do a one of race like that. Japan is land of bureaucracy, so exception like this needs a lot of paperwork and valid reason.
This soundtrack is what makes it so exciting during the races.
They definitely know how to hype the races. Not only the soundtrack, but also the pacing. Like how every race is introduced with a title screen, and how they gave empty space during the race. There are moments during the race with no soundtrack, and let the scene filled only with galloping sound. They also went into complete silence to give the twist more impact.
I didn't plan to watch Uma Musume at the start of the season. I only heard it's airing from r/anime discussion. Considering that it was made by Cygames and the several praises for the movie, I gave it a try. This is the biggest surprise for me this season. It was beautifully animated with a lot of hype moments, especially her rivalry with March. March was voiced by Ise Mariya, so I kept hearing Killua when she talks.
I cried a little watching this week's episode. Kitahara decided to sacrifice his dream for Oguri after putting her in a pinch last episode. I was rooting for March to win (I love her, she is so cool) because I didn't want Oguri to move out to nationals. I want her to still be with Kitahara and compete with March in Toukai. At last, Kitahara showed some resolution after seeing how conflicted Oguri was during the race. He finally decided to push Oguri to the nationals with his speech.
I will miss March, I don't think we will see her again after Oguri transferred to the nationals.
To think that I would be this invested in racing horse girls playing a historical reenactment of real life horse race ๐ญ
Fourth wall breaking and no mention of 100 gf? Not only they are self aware, they diss the author (nakamura-sensei) a lot and praised the artist (nozawa-sensei). In the adaptation the animator also didn't get spared
Thank you, Ave Mujica, for filling my Thursday each week with a mind-breaking psychological trauma for the past 3 months.
I have never experienced the same excitement and on edge each week the same way Ave Mujica has given me. I also love reading the community reaction. Watching the community breaking down was part of the experience of Ave Mujica. Fans who come after will miss half of the fun.
Thank you for closing it with an amazing performance-heavy episode. MyGO with their poem in the interim and Ave Mujica with their stage play. What a way to end the series. (Umiri still brings her trustworthiness to the stage ๐ญ)
Nevermind, they announced a sequel for AveMyGO!!!! Trauma is back on the menu!
What happened in Amagami that made it sore that high?
The title is a clever pun on ้ฑๆซ (weekend) both pronunced shuumatsu
Ughhh!!! Shizuka's karaoke segment is too cute, I didn't need Kusuri's drug to be yamchad to the wall
After a rather happy and hopeful last episode, we returned to the usual Ave Mujica, dysfunctional girls getting worse each episode! Finally, Umiri got the long-overdue characterization she needed.
When everyone already moving on from CRYCHIC in the last episode, it looks like Mutsumi didn't get the memo that CRYCHIC no longer exists. That's why we didn't get her inner monologue during Haruhikage. Unlike everyone else, she still clings to the old CRYCHIC days. Here I thought they'd have their closure ๐
We also weren't done with Mutsumi it seems. Mutsumi-chan was only one of the many entities(?) of her DID and by disbanding Ave Mujica Mortis is on the chopping block. So Mortis desperately needs Ave Mujica to be back together.
Mori Minami did not beat the allegation, she is even worse then what I imagined. She wasn't only neglecting her DID issue, she saw her as a competition. She even saw her as a monster, yuck. No wonder, only Mutsumi's caretaker was seen during couple of last episodes. The worst anime parent in the season.
I love Umiri's gap moe shown throughout the episode. During the season she was always depicted as stoic and distant from everyone else, keeping herself out of any drama. It was because of trauma she had we her first band, left alone by everyone during audition is suck, that betrayal.
It seems Umiri is brewing something with Mortis! Can't wait what we'll happen next episode!
We got the aftermath of the disbandment in this episode!
Umiri was still as indifferent as ever, this was not her first nor probably the 100th band she had which disbanded. This makes me really wonder what kind of characterization she will get in Ave Mujica. Sadly we got no UmiTaki moment ๐
Nyamu also seems to be in a nicer place. She got her connection from Minami and now has been invited to reality shows. She got what she wanted after joining Ave Mujica, though Mutsumi's "acting" still haunts her, and hinders her from pursuing better chances.
Uika didn't take Sakiko leaving her that well, like girl get yourself together. I know you were down bad for Sakiko, but please stop. Girl still makes coffee for her non-existent girlfriend, hoping that she will be back.
Sakiko having it hard, she didn't speak the whole episode except for one sentence, "I hate myself". She finally gave in to her grandpa and left her dad to live with him. Luckily Tomori and Anon were there to fix and give closure to her CRYCHIC disbandment. Hopefully, she could bounce back in the next episode. We believe in you Anon, bring our girl back
Finally, we have Mutsumi/Mortis, who are in complete disarray. Mortis plan to take over Mutsumi had fired back. She was supposed to save Mutsumi and keeping the band together, but now Mutsumi has gone and the band disbanded. She also try so hard to bring back Mutsumi with no avail. Please give justice to our little girl Mutsumi โ
It seems that MyGo members now will have more involvement in the story to bring Ave Mujica back together. We got Anon singing the jingle for Togawa Group twice ๐, never change Anon, never change. Also rare Raana finally make a comeback, though only slightly off focus.
