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. Make sure 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.
