AniWorthGunjou no Fanfare
Introduction
In Japan, betting on horse racing is one of the few legal forms of gambling; thus, the public races have become an interesting part of Japanese culture. In this sport, an individual who rides a horse and competes in races is called a jockey—that is just what Yuu Arimura aspires to be.
Becoming inspired after witnessing a derby, 15-year-old idol Yuu shocks the entire nation when he leaves the entertainment industry to enroll in a prestigious horse racing school. Excited to pursue his latest passion, he gradually bonds with his new classmates—such as the talented Shun Kazanami and the self-assured Amane Grace—who are each unique in their own way. Although the path ahead may be full of obstacles, Yuu is determined to pursue his ultimate goal of becoming one with his horse.

I'm so happy that I watched this anime. Its really masterpiece for me. Totally different from some anime sports that highlight the drama between character and their situation, but in this anime they still focus on the match, technique, and many things that related to horse race. The character also didn't trap in their situation so deeply but they manage to make their own solution through it. Their drama also related our real life and how the staff can manage to compress the story in just twelve episodes is amazing, salutt!!!! Really love this anime, and the ending is still remain in my mind, that's so wonderful yet deep, opening and ending song is my favorite too, love it!! I wish they can make another season to show how they live their life after graduation, I trully believe this gonna be…

this is the first anime i watch that surrounds about horse racing and the characters training to be a jockey. i think it is somewhat an enjoyable anime but i think it could have been better if it has been expanded and developed further.
like for example, it feels very fast-paced with the one year later, six months later etc. you totally don't know what has happen in between to reach that part. also, there isn't much about the each and every character's background to understand why they want to be a jockey.
overall, i think it would be better if it had focus more on their training in school, like how each of their lesson helps them in being a jockey etc. like some episodes feels more focus on the character's personal issues than the actual plot but with only 13 episodes, it feels a wee bi…

As a fan of horses, and horse racing, I was extremely happy to see they finally made a real horse racing anime that wasn't Uma Musume pretty derby. This anime has decent visuals and a Sawano OST, but unfortunately due to one scene in Episode 1 with semi BL vibes a ton of homophobes ended up dropping the series, not realizing that (1) most sport anime are "fruity", consider the Top Gun volleyball scene and (2) this is definitely NOT a BL anime.

Our main character, Yuu, decides to drop out of his idol group to become a Jockey! A semi implausible premise unless he really loves horses because while being an idol is hard work it's also very glamorous and comes with a huge fan base of girls! The jockeys in the show are distinct in personality, background and look…

This anime exceed my expectation, I originally watch this because it's boring so I can grinding game while watch this so I can understand why the rating is low. But this anime is stay true to the title from beginning till the end. I expect the ending to be like that if it will stay true to the title and my prediction turn out to be true.
Review about story:
Gunjou no Fanfare or Fanfare of Adolescence is really how to describe this anime. This anime is talking about their struggle as jockey-wanna-be until they become real jockey in last episode. Along the way of their journey, they choose their own path. That's why this anime more focus on their road to be jockey, their training, and people involved in this industry so they can learn and develop to be jockey or find their new purpose. Thi…

We had our fair share of horses in anime, the most prominent being` the likes of Cygames's popular franchise that is Uma Musume: Pretty Derby that features anthropomorphic girls with legendary names taken straight out of Japanese horse derby races for spokes-animals. But ask someone what would he/she do in a horse race, and the first instinct is to deal some horse betting for the most popular horse that would score you wins or losses, and also the journey of horse jockeying which takes into accounts of its intense practices and potential dangers, which is what Gunjou no Fanfare a.k.a Fanfare of Adolescence attempts to do. And this is brought to you by the same director that did the wonderful LGBTQ+ Yuri show that is Yagate Kimi ni Naru a.k.a Bloom Into You.
Ahh, it's the same combination…
