Famous racehorses that have left behind worthy legacies, unique as they can be, are reincarnated as horse girls in a parallel world. In this life, they start their journey anew as they continue to race and perhaps relive the success they once lived through. Aspiring to become the best racehorse in Japan, a horse girl named Special Week moves to Tokyo to enroll in the Tracen Academy—an institution that nurtures horse girls like her to become better racers. There, Special Week witnesses the sophisticated running style of Silence Suzuka and is inspired to become a racer like her. Shortly after, Special Week finds herself recruited into Silence Suzuka's team, Spica. From there, she begins her path to the top—one lap at a time. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Sometimes I just really fucking love Japan. This time is that time. Welcome to Uma Musume, show about horse-girls. Ever since the masterpiece of sports anime, Keijo, ended, I have been eagerly waiting for another series that treasures the beauty of sportic anime ladies. This time they have animals ears, tails and are so goddamn happy all the time. It's great. The characters are the selling point of this anime. Special Week (yes, that's an actual name of the main character) is super positive and energetic. It's almost as if there is no reining day in her life.(heh, pun). Unless someone sexually abuses her legs. Makesure to never go behind a horse girl or she might just kick you! Silence Suzuka on the other hand is perfectly sportic. She was born to run. Whenever she trots away I find myself sitting on the edge of my saddle in awe. Amazing. This is what Sports series should be like. Forget that seasonal 'Megalo Box' and see what true sportsmanship is all about. These girls have a dream to be the fastest horse-girls in the universe (by universe I mean within this anime because this type of shit doesn't exist anywhere else). How do they achieve this then? By going to horse-girl school and eating food like a.... well like a horse, but also with the power of friendship (the polar opposite type of friendship than you see in my little pony, I swear). Pretty neat. Some say these characters should have been centaurs. Pfff. Centaurs are the worst mythical creatures ever invented. Why? Because they have 2 backs, but can't lie on either. Must be worse than hell. The best choice was clearly to make them human-horse hybrids. The animation is great, everyone looks sexy and the sounds match the series like tail matches a pony. Just truly a stable production (heh pun v.2.0). This series obviously won't work when watched seriously. The best way to enjoy this is to take all the silliness in it with open pastures. Gallop to your closest Crunhyroll and give it ago because this type of greatness should be witnessed by all.

The first thing that comes into my mind when I hear the word "horse girls" are those forbidden videos that you probably encountered at some point when you were watching porn. That's right. I'm talking about those ones. Just the idea of thinking about it makes me want to puke. Those videos changed my perspective of horses in a heartbeat. I found this anime yesterday when one of my friend added it into his/her's PTW list. The thumbnail of the anime looked enticing so I decided to click on it and it brought me to the information page. I first thought that this show wasa show with fox girls. However, I was wrong. This show was a show with horse girls. Horse. Girls. That first word.. It makes me want to puke. The past experiences I've had with horses in Pornhub and XVIDEOS.. They're terrible. They're terrible! But I decided to start this anime anyways because they looked like a fox. The story of Uma Musume is pretty simple. Horse girls racing. They win. They lose. Repeat. That's the plot of the story. We're simply just seeing cute horse girls racing each other. However, the simplicity is the gem of this show. It's not too edgy. There's nearly. Actually. No fan service at all. It's just pure entertainment and joy. This show is the ideal show for whoever's bored and doesn't really know which know they should watch. P.A. Works' art and quality still stands tall and strong. Powering the enjoyment of the show to the utmost. Though I have a small hope that it could've been better if they made the effects when running better. P.A. Works never fail with their art style and quality. Maintaining their status as one of the best anime producers out there. I approve! There's really nothing much for me to say about the sounds except from the fitting background musics that perfectly fits the scenarios. They're really good. I even cried. More than once. Not lying. Aside from the background musics. Everything else is pretty much already perfect and balanced so I have no negative comments. This also applies to the characters. They are likable and I especially like Silence Suzuka because she looks "the most" like a fox. Aside from my preference. The character developments are awesome and realistic. Losing is the key to success, and through hardwork, one becomes stronger. This anime also changed my perspective on horses. The memories of those terrible experiences had been completely cleansed by the pure kawaii horse girls of this anime. Ah, I have been enlightened. I really enjoyed this anime. It was relaxing to watch. Well. To a certain extent and it also calmed down my depressing emotions from a previous anime I've watched in which gave me depression. I am all happy again thanks to this anime! Anime really is amazing. Anything can become possible so long as it's anime. Cliche! But that's the point, isn't it? Heh. Anyways. If you want to see something that is relaxing and intense at times and is guaranteed that it won't give you depression. If you want to see kawaii girls running. If you want a little motivation. Then this anime is exactly just for you.
