With all due respect I'm not want for an anime to be 100% healthy, but with uma musume is exaggerated, the second season the poor protagonist was injured in each episode, also other characters that bad things happened to them for no good reason like rice shower, I really hate the petty, cruel and unfair tone that the story had about the characters It's like I'm punishing them for no reason.


Well, the franchise has been making it clear since season one that it cares about the real background of its horses, including their historical trauma or issues. They even had to tone down some shit like keeping some characters alive or turning them into spiritual siblings instead of relatives to avoid the wrong implications from fan content creators.[/quote

That seems silly to me, what need do they have to stick to real facts? there is no logical consequence of real events, besides seeing a girl suffer the same as an animal is cruel and stupid


Because the whole point of the franchise is the moe anthropomorphism of the original Japanese racetrack culture. The franchise is so popular in Japan as most of the fans are also fans of the original Special Week and others. If you're looking for something purely wholesome, then you might want to check out other moe franchises.

I never understood the popularity of this franchise. It's not because I think it's bad or anything, it's just because I don't hear much about it outside of anime announcements or episode discussions for that kind of support.



Just because you personally don't like it doesn't mean it's a "stupid trend". Not to mention, anime doesn't have to always be wholesome to satisfy fans of just one genre.

I hope the story this time does not have the same tone because being the best-selling anime in recent years it's a shame that the content end up becoming popular and create a stupid trend in several anime seriously, i would hate it to become the new "isekai" overexploiting girl show stories with such dramatic and tragic content.

Always welcome to see more horse girls. I hope it doesn't become a very short one. Also hopefully we'll get to see a bit of Agnes Tachyon. She's also pretty great.

Nice new series!, it’s not a sequel to the previous 2 seasons though.

Cygames pictures? Same or diff staffs? Wish they upload it in pakatube to stream it for free(region locking is expected) but I expect they'll monetize it in niconico.
