When All Is Said And Done, Everyone Loves Kisses. | Did You Know That a Marathon Is a Microcosm of Life? is the first episode of the first season of A Centaur's Life. The episode is a glimpse into the lives of centaurs, mythical creatures who are a mix of human and horse. The episode follows the lives of Hime, a centaur, and her friends, Nozomi and Kyoko.

The opening scene shows Hime waking up on a school day. As she gets up, we see that she has a horse body below her waist and human body above. She goes through her day-to-day routine, such as brushing her hair and getting dressed. We see that her world is similar to ours, but the existence of centaurs changes the dynamics of everyday life.

As the girls leave for school, they take a moment to admire the cherry blossoms in full bloom. In this world, not only humans but also centaurs are affected and entranced by the natural beauty of the flowers. As they walk to school, the girls discuss their plans for the day. Hime mentions that she wants to run in the marathon that is happening later that week. Nozomi and Kyoko encourage her and decide to participate as well.

Once they arrive at school, we see that the classes are mixed with humans and centaurs. The teacher is a snake-like creature, and the students are all different types of creatures, including mermaids and angel-like beings. The class is learning about the history of their world and its evolution. It's evident that there are still prejudices and misconceptions about each other's races, even among the young students.

After school, the girls head to the track to practice for the upcoming marathon. Hime shows her prowess as a runner, but it's evident that running on four legs takes a toll on her stamina. Nozomi brings up the concept of microcosm, where a marathon can tell the story of one's life. The girls discuss their reasons for running, and it's clear that each has their own goal, but they are all driven by the desire to achieve something bigger than themselves.

As the episode progresses, we see more of the world around them. We see a group of jellyfish-like creatures being discriminated against and bullied by human and centaur students. We see that there is still a long way to go before everyone can coexist peacefully.

The episode ends with the girls at the marathon starting line. They are eager to run, but Hime is preoccupied with her worries. She is afraid of being judged for her slower pace and her unique anatomy. As the gun goes off and the marathon begins, Hime's fears fade away, thanks to the support of her friends, the cheers of the crowd, and the kiss of her mother at the starting line.

When All Is Said And Done, Everyone Loves Kisses. | Did You Know That a Marathon Is a Microcosm of Life? is a charming introduction to the world of A Centaur's Life. The episode is a mix of humor, drama, and social commentary. It does a great job of establishing the world and the characters and setting up the themes that will be explored throughout the series.
