"Good times" involve an encounter with a mountain lion?

Umamusume Pretty Derby is surprising. Anyone looking at this could be forgiven for expecting umamimi moe trash, as I was when I tried to watch this "ironically" one sunday evening.

What I found is that they did their research on the practices, strategies and history of horse racing. This inspiration has brought about a sports/competition anime which features the strategies, techniques and moments of resolve unique to horse(girl) racing. It makes for a competition anime which is gripping to watch.

They also made it about cute horsegirls and there's a lot of gay.

It's not an Earth shattering anime for sure, but I'm hooked enough to come back for a new episode every Sunday.

Unironically. Horsegirls is good if you want cute horse but also want to cheer a sportsperson on in their racing career. If you're expecting in depth lore about how a horsegirl functions, or something that focuses on the actual day to day considerations of being a horsegirl, thus far it hasn't been mentioned. The most you get is brief visual gags such as Special Week hammering the horseshoes into the soles of her shoes. The meat of this show is the racing and the sports, so if you want a sports anime that's a bit cuter and horsier than normal, I'd recommend giving it a shot.

I’m actually enjoying the show as well.

Except for the pervert coach grabbing their legs whenever he can. It’s a cute and fun show otherwise.

Today's episode of Pretty Derby had Grass Wonder, El Condor Pasa and Silence Suzuka race at the Mainichi Okan, with the race and result turning out exactly as had occurred for the real world versions of these horses in 1998

With Silence Suzuka now gearing up for the Tenno Sho, I am very concerned. They can't do what actually happened there in 1998 can they? :cry:

On second thought, let’s not go to Horseland. It is a silly place.

There's also the one scene where she's using a human phone and has to hold it up to her ear.

Horse show is over.

That was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Expected fanservice trash, got a fun sports anime about horse racing. :party:

In this world, are horse girls seen as basically human; like could they date regular humans or is that considered some kind of interspecies squick?

The first season never addressed that. All (or most at least) of the horse girls are named after real-life race horses, and focused on the racing.

apparently the staff answered questions at some point back in 2018 and they said the horse girls are like elves and that there are relationships between humans and horse girls
