| Can't wait to watch horse racings with Sawano drops lmao |
|
| Seems like it will be a good watch. I look forward to it! |
   |
| Oh right, anime about "horse racings" ... sure. But the PV does look good. |
 |
You make it sound like we're not getting hockey with cute girls anytime soon, lol. |
 |
| Uma Musume spin-off is looking good, not gonna lie. Seriously though, it does sound promising. |
 |
| I love how Japan's anime industry keeps exploring with new sports. Horse racing? Count me in. For some reason I can't watch the PV, but the teaser looks pretty. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |

|
| Huh. I can't say any part of this interests me, but there's nothing concrete that turns me away either. I'll see what my opinion is after the next batch of info. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Is moving Horse most difficult thing to animate idk some random Jojo fan told me. Anyway I am really excited for this anime expecting some hardcore music by Hiroyuki Sawano. |
| Ooh! I was thinking that the concept image gave me Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. vibe. No wonder, it's by the same studio! Looking forward to it. |
Zean_9435 said: Is moving Horse most difficult thing to animate Yes. There's a reason why horses are usually in CGI when moving. For perspective, human walk cycles are still forgiving at best due to being bipedal and some animators are still having a challenge with it in a general sense. Make that leg four and think how much work and corrections it needs. Given that it's horses that the animators will be dealing with, the muscular movements should also be in sync as they gallop with those four legs. |
 Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive |

Btw This small anime studio have guts making a complete anime primarily focusing on horse racing . Hopefully the horses are in 2D. |

| I've never been interested in horse related things but I am open to checking this out. |
| 眠れないのは君のせい |
| Not surprising since horse racing is kinda popular in Japan. I‘m kinda worried about how they are going to animate the horses. Hope it‘s not some weird CGi |
| Great! And handsome boys too! Waiting! |

But wow, I was already positively joking about how Japan really is tackling any sport now but I didn't see that my favorite Japanese composer was on this too I am fucking dead xDDDD |

Apparently the authors are planning something like a multimedia hockey version of LL. This shouldn't come as a surprise, given that there are already a bunch of similar soccer or baceball franchises in Japan. |

| My jaw dropped after seeing Sawano Hiroyuki... It's so unexpected to see him compose for an anime where there's no one dying, no killings and murders. The cast line-up is really good. So happy to see Shougo Yano. And in the teaser PV Shougo Yano and Shinba Tsuchiya's voice were harmonizing so beautifully. Looking forward to this anime. |
| I'm curious too! Very excited! Rickydory123 said: It's so unexpected to see him compose for an anime where there's no one dying, no killings and murders. But I would not say it's unusual for Sawano, because if you look on VGMdb, he composed a lot for TV Dramas that were only Slice of Life and Romance. And once you listen to them, the soundtrack is equally amazing, so beautiful! |

| The VAs are a nice choice but the teaser trailer, why do they have to show a realistic looking horse HELPGJGJ? And I realized there's a human hand afterwards but honestly I would praise the animator if they've done that throughout the series (Duh possibly won't happen) and I wonder how they'll adapt the horse (particularly) lol because it's a really tricky to do so and as long as they don't mess up the keyframe movement and the CGI plus the coloring and other physical properties, it won't be a one trick pony :D. Also horsing is really fun though it's just riding a horse shouldn't be much of a worry to go around places and it's a great experience but hopefully the story itself isn't boring because I'm having a one feeling where it's gonna screw up one tiny bit but I may be proven wrong once this anime premiers :P Looking forward to this potential gem! |
