>>810043

Oh shit, has it already premiered? I need to pay better attention to these things. Which sub group seems to be doing the better job right now? Because I'm not wasting my time with HS.

>>810043

Is this the first season of Equine Friends?

Are these the Japanese ponies?

>>810047

I watched HS and I haven't noticed any ridiculously poor translations. There's Erai-raws, but I think theirs is a CR rip too.

>>810048

>>810049

This is more like Love Live Locodol with horses.

>>810043

But are horse pussies allowed?

>>810066

How is your voice horse?

Horse isn't even an adjective.

Pretty standard setup after the first episode. The only thing I'm glad to see are the uniforms using a visible skirt waist instead of the usual shirt over skirt. Why was the American wearing a mask similar to Luchador masks?

>>810066

Off to the glue factory with you

Still disappointed that they're not centaurs.

Why does Erai appear to have episode 2 up as well, while HS doesn't?

>>810043

>Air vents

>Delinquent getup

>Molestation

>Not moeblob

I see, the golden age is coming back.

>>810077

Why does it matter?

>>810077

Ohys has episode 2 too. No idea, Mahou Shoujo Ore also had 2 episodes released at once last week.

>watch ep2 now

>no new episode for two weeks

T-thanks

Do old girls go to the glue factory?

>>810073

Because America is part of Mexico in this universe her name was in Spanish even.

>>810083

They get sent off to breed, obviously.

Reminder that all these horse girls are based on real racehorses. Silence Suzuka will break her leg and be put down.

>>810129

>based on boring real life horses

Call me when there's a moe Haribote Elegy or Chokusen Bancho.

>Episode 2

I wish she lost. Now everyone is going to think she is the best thing since sliced bread. Is this debut race thing some kind of tournament where MC just won her heat race?

>>810129

>>810134

PP Donut is the true champ.

I hate anime series that make people say shit like "Japan is really weird, what the fuck" like this one.

But holy shit this is good.

I mean this is weird and cringy, the fact of "animal girl school" is just overused, the MC girl that acts kind of stupid and clumsy yet talented as seen in fuckload of series, the horses have to do a "winning concert" with dresses and shit after the race, and lot more.

But here the jokes are quite good, the animation is fluid and nice, the girls are bestgirls, the story doesnt seem much boring, and I like the ED.

>>810141

>i hate anime series that make people say shit like "Japan is really weird, what the fuck"

Nah I love it when normalfags are turned off anime.

>>810141

>I hate anime series that make people say shit like "Japan is really weird, what the fuck" like this one.

That is a good thing. It keeps them from getting too close so content creators do not take them seriously. Also we knew this was coming when the uma musume project was announced a few years ago.

Yeah but will anything match the competitive spirit and animation quality of Keijo?

>>810145

>>810143

>This kinds the normalfag away

Im not sure, on some part yes it keeps the normalfagnormalfags far, but its like Pop team epic, it atracts redditfaggots with their shitty humor, And we can see this is the majority in anime now, buying shit merchandise, going to streampages without adblock, etc..

>>810082

Livechart says episode 3 will air in 1 week. Maybe we just got lucky and got essentially a double length starter.

>>810172

The number of episodes aren't listed either, at minimum it'll be 13 episodes if they air once a week from now on.

So come for the horse pussy gimmick. Possibly stay for the show?

>>810181

That part was nice to see. Little details like this are signs of quality work.

>>810172

>>810179

I would be just fine if every week was a double episode so we get a condensed 26 episode show in 13 weeks. Obviously this puts way more work on the studio and requires quite the budget and schedule to pull off. It would be better than a split cour if they couldn't get TV time to run a continuous 2 cour.

>>810182

Well, we'll see if the awful glue factory jokes keep up, or if people find something worth talking about once things get going. So far, it looks promising, despite being a big advertisement for a mobile game.

>Special Week is a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. Between 1997 and 1999 he won ten of his seventeen races including three at Grade I level. After winning his only start as a juvenile he emerged as a top-class performer in the following season

>He later became a successful breeding stallion

>He

When will it be revealed that Special Week is a trap?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Week

>That scene where one of the horse girls breaks her leg and everyone was worried about her

>The pig girl tells everyone she will be fine

>Gets picked by an unmarked truck never to be seen again

All animal girls are equal, but some animals girls are more equal than others.

>>810179

>>810184

It's 13 episodes, BDs confirm it.

The airing of episode 1&2 together is just done to promote the show. It's rare but happens from time to time.

The later episodes will air once every week.

>>810219

This is probably the only series I'm interested in other than spooky onsen airing later this week. Just torrented the first two episodes, gonna see how it is.

>>810203

Can't unsee.

>>810247

Watch episode 2.

>>810257

Free range carrots.

No small girls, no interest. They could have tried a little variety at least.

Why are they idols?

Was it really neccessary to make them idols as well as track&field horse racing girls?

When do they get sent to glue factory for a sprained ankle?

>>810080

>Air vents

What's that?

>>810276

>Why are they idols?

Because

>Was it really neccessary to make them idols as well as track&field horse racing girls?

Yes

>When do they get sent to glue factory for a sprained ankle?

Season 2

>Why are they idols?

Because they are horse girls

>Was it really neccessary to make them idols as well as track&field horse racing girls?

Yes. Horse girls don't just run because they want to go fast. They run so all of nippon can dream. That is what it means to be ウマ娘

>>810283

Don't conflate horse girls with that filthy western garbage. I bet you thought houseki no kuni was Steven Universe as well.

>>810273

There are small girls in the game, so they might pop up at some point.

>>810257

I don't think it's drugs.

>>810290

Someone needs to make the doujin, my dick demands to see Special Week and Silence Suzuka subjected to this

>>810373

>"and"

>not "by"

>>810289

Yeah, but that cameo-isque appearance is not exactly something I care about.

Not to mention I think the first actually short girl is like the 35th character in the list or so.

>>810381

It is pretty much just a story about a girl becoming the best olympic runner.

But they made it better by making everyone horses.

The idol part is the worst part of this show. But I liked the races.

Also, how I became a trainer?

>>810440

>Also, how I became a trainer?

Pretty sure that's what you play as in the mobage.

>>810397

It's bringing back good memories of Battle Athletes Victory. Hope they focus more on the races than the dances, but since Special Week can already run but not dance, we're likely to get a lot of idol stuff.

>>810266

>I was just about to go on a diet and start running too.

is this anime just another piece of Abe-san's master plan?

>>810468

>However it still baffles me that the nips manage to come up with this.

I would tell you the name of that one manga where a handful of gruff old Yakuza thugs fail their boss once too often, are sent to Thailand for sex-change surgery, and return as girly idols while still mentally being gruff old Yakuza thugs - but I forgot the name.

The MC really reminds me of Nadeshiko in the way she 'whoas' at things.

>>810491

We'll just have to see what happens next week when we actually have idol stuff going on. Note that in the first two episodes we had two races, but only a short fragment of an idol performance.

Or maybe that was only because they want to build anticipation among the idol crowd for next week and not blow both loads in one go.

>>810508

There's a thread in the catalog for it already.

>>810524

>Eclipse first, the rest nowhere.

My best guess to what the nips meant is by being first you will eclipse everyone behind you, and by doing so they will all be behind you, and you won't see them.

Gold Ship is so ugly, what the hell were they thinking. Special Week is absurdly cute, though. Especially her hair.

>>810542

Eclipse was a race horse way back that was so good he was forced to retire as no one would bet against him or would join a race with him. He went to stud and tons of champ horses trace back to him. So that saying comes from him.

>>810573

Might get a little /monster/. But the girls are so human it might as well be cosplay, so the more degenerate groups won't be interested.

>>810574

They have 3 mare things:

1. Mimi

2. Tail

3. Pussy

Of course, they would prefer to be fucked and mind broken by stallions than doing that with male humans.

>>810575

Unless you have horse cock of your own.

Beautiful.

>>812327

I would rank her quite high if her design wasn't the opposite of what I like.

>>812340

I'm going to be seriously concerned if she never shows up again.

>>812342

>>812340

And she's still more likely to succeed than Urara.

>>812344

>And she's still more likely to succeed than Urara.

We already know it had the third-worst sales of Kirara family manga adaptations, you don't need to keep reminding us.

>>812327

>>812336

Her design is off, but I like to imagine she's just deaf and autistic.

Takane is truly best horse though.

Man, team Spic has all the best girls.

>>812282

The only disappointment was with the special G1 uniform. It was clearly too tight around her fat horse ass. The setup seemed to imply we would get special week splitting the skirt to pieces and winning in her panties.

it was nice seeing them eating piles of vegetables and drink carrot juice. is it possible to ferment carrot juice into carrot liquor?

>>812439

Her skirt better fucking explode mid race during one of the next episodes, I swear to god.

>>812434

Was the best part of the today episode and today was good episode.

>>812443

>>812439

Kind of my thoughts. I felt like they'd either use the "your skirt was too tight from eating like a fatass country bumpkin even though you're not running like one, you couldn't run properly in it" excuse or her skirt would explode mid-race allowing her to win in her panties.

I'm gonna be extremely disappointed if one of these doesn't happen!

Also I can't speak for the Japanese Derby, but I know the Kentucky derby has extremely strict weight requirements plus or minus five pounds for both the riders and the horses, so I'm upset that the show doesn't take itself to at least the Kentucky Derby's fanbase's level of autism.

>>812364

This adds a untold level of depth for me. How far do you think they've gone to mimic these actual horses? Do you think they copied their personalities too?

>>812503

Don't you mean it iseasy~?

So they are trying to shove a schoolgirl series, Idols and horse racing into one?

I wonder if it'll flop like Idol Jihen.

>>813405

Probably not, because it's good

>>812462

Something about Gold Ship tells me they are pretty close, it's said the horse was very unpredictable..

>>813543

>Did rural areas have horse girls pulling plows?

>Not "Did rural areas have Ban'ei races?"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ban%27ei

<The ban'ei course consists of a 200-metre (660 ft) dirt track with lanes separated by ropes laid in the sand. This creates ten lanes, each incorporating a starting gate and two hill-shaped obstacles. The second and steeper obstacle is called the Ban'ei Point. Horses haul sleds across this track, with the weight of each sled ranging from 450 kg (990 lb) to 1 ton

I know we'll never get them in this series, but an anon can dream, right?

>>812558

Niceheads yukkuris are present from gods to humanity.

>>813839

We're just prepping ourselves for the inevitable genetic modification of the human female gender to make them less monstrous and vicious by adding in genes from creatures that have been loyal and faithful friends of mankind for millennia.

>>814040

The way her hair is cut, I think it would expose the part of her head where the ears should go on a boring human. But since she doesn't have them, it would look uncanny.

>>814646

>Father

Ah, meant Grandfather*

More on her grandfather, showing her expert lineage as a horse girl:

>Total earnings: Slightly less than $10,000,000USD (1,014,657,700JPY)

>Mejiro McQueen (Japanese : メジロマックイーン, April 3, 1987 - April 3, 2006) was a Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was a late-maturing horse who did not emerge as a top-class performer until the autumn of his three-year-old season when he won the Kikuka Sho. Over the next three years he proved himself one of the best stayers in Japan with wins in the Tenno Sho (twice), Takarazuka Kinen, Osaka Hai, Kyōto Daishōten (twice) and Hanshin Daishoten (twice). He won the JRA Award for Best Older Male Horse in 1991 and was inducted into the Japan Racing Association Hall of Fame shortly after his retirement from racing. He was not a great success as a breeding stallion.

>Mejiro McQueen did not race as a two-year-old but made a successful racecourse debut over 1700 metres on dirt in February 1990 at Hanshin Racecourse. He was beaten in his next three starts before taking two minor races at Hakodate Racecourse in September. On 4 November at Kyoto Racecourse he recorded his first major success in his last run of the year when he took the 3000 metre Kikuka Sho.

>On his first appearance as a four-year-old Mejiro McQueen won the Grade 2 Hanshin Daishoten at Chukyo Racecourse, setting a record time of 3:07.3 for the 3000 metre turf course. In April at Kyoto he took his second Grade 1 prize as he won the spring edition of the Tenno Sho over 3200 metres. When dropped in trip for the Takarazuka Kinen over 2200 metres in June he ran well again, but was beaten into second place by Mejiro Ryan. After the customary summer break he returned in October to win the Grade 2 Kyoto Daishoten and then finished first in the autumn Tenno Sho. In the latter race, however, he was disqualified and placed last of the eighteen runners: he had been drawn on the outside and hampered several horses when his jockey tracked over to the inside rail just after the start. He put up good efforts in defeat on his last two tarts that year, coming home fourth behind the American horse Golden Pheasant in the Japan Cup and finishing a close second to Dai Yusaku in the Arima Kinen. In the JRA Awards for 1991 he was voted the year's Best Older Male Horse.

>Meiro McQueen's 1992 campaign was restricted to two races, but he won them both. He began by taking the Hanshin Daishoten for the second successive year. On 26 April at Kyoto he followed up his 1991 success by winning the spring Tenno Sho for a second time. Injury problems kept the horse of the track for the rest of the year.

>After an absence of more than eleven months Mejiro McQueen returned in April 1993 and won the Grade 2 Osaka Hai at Hanshin in a record time of 2:03.2. His attempt to win an unprecedented third edition of the spring Tenno Sho narrowly failed as he finished second of the fifteen runners behind Rice Shower. On 13 June at Hanshin he won the Takarazuka Kinen at the second attempt to record his fourth Grade 1 success. He returned in October to win a second Kyoto Daishoten in a record time of 2:22.7 in what proved to be his final start.

>In 1994 Mejiro McQueen was inducted into the Japan Racing Association Hall of Fame.

>Mejiro McQueen was retired from racing to become a breeding stallion at Shadai Stallion Station. He was not a conspicuous success as a sire of winners, with the best of his offspring being the Grade 3 winners Time Fair Lady and Eidai Queen. He performed a valuable service at stud however, as he formed a close bond with Sunday Silence and acted as a calming influence on the hitherto obstreporous American stallion. Mejjiro McQueen's daughters did well as broodmares and he was the damsire of both Orfevre and Gold Ship. He died in 2006 at the age of nineteen.

>>814646

I'm starting to think no. Fucking yanks can't keep their dicks in their pants.

>Mejjiro McQueen's daughters did well as broodmares and he was the damsire of both Orfevre and Gold Ship.

Ok let me get this straight, she becomes drinking buddies with Special Week's dad, then somehow becomes Gold Ship's grandfather owing to how her daughters were all huge sluts?

I think I'm going to need to make up a chart to keep up with all of this

>>814672

Let's make a chart of the lineage of the horse girls together, anon. We need to get this shit straight for other anons so they understand what happened.

>>814672

>she's in the show too

Wonderful. We really do need a family tree, complete with pictures of each horse girl.

Also, since Special Week spoke how her dam died after giving birth, and her sire is in the show and clearly a girl, this show has 100% confirmed yuri pregnancies.

>>814677

>this show has 100% confirmed yuri pregnancies.

Oh shit, I-I didn't realize that.

The wiki claims it's "affiliations" rather than family charts, but I'm gonna make it anyways. Fuck the wikis.

>>814678

>100% confirmed yuri

Well, Special Week already said hat she has "two mothers". It's just that we didn't understand what she reall meant.

>>814682

>>814678

Actually, I got it wrong. I didn't read thoroughly and thought >>814662 had linked McQueen's stud record instead. We have not seen Special Week's sire after all.

Wait, I'm confused. Which ones are futa now?

>>814682

The two mothers thing was because her actual uma musume mother died so she had to be raised by a human mother.

Alright, I'm gonna start here and fill in the blanks as needed. Anons should give me a heads up if uma musumes are missing from the list.

umamusume.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters

>>814694

Don't they usually geld/fix non-race horse progeny to keep them from breeding outside the lineage and ruining the lineage's cash cow?

I'll post my raw notes first, and then I'll work on my chart, but other anons will have the ability to make their own from there. It seems a lot of the Uma Musumes are directly or indirectly related to Sunday Silence.

>>814700

Scratch that again, I read the charts totally wrong. However special week's dad did bang the same girl as Special Week did. This is really damn confusing.

>In Japan, Eclipse's sire line includes leading sires Sunday Silence, King Kamehameha and Deep Impact

>Eclipse's sire line includes leading sires Sunday Silence

Oh fuck.

>Only gotten through two musumes and this notepad list is getting too damn long

I'm gonna stick to grand parents, parents, and immediate children for now, and then extrapolate data and fill in the gaps later. This is confusing as shit when half the damned cast has fucked Sunday Silence.

>>814717

YURI PREGNANCIES CONFIRMED

>>814719

>>814721

I'm having another problem with El Condor Pasa, but since she stated that she came from America, I'm going with the USA horse even though the Jap horse is younger.

>>814722

Ah wait, description says she was a successful racer in America and the Jap one had no history racing in America, but then her Jap is apparently really good other than random English phrases thrown in. Fuck!

>>814717

I think you mean horsecock futa confirmed.

>>814725

What is this, CoC?

So Spic Horse El Condor Pasa is heavily inbred, funnily enough. Alright I'll keep the politics out other than that.

>>814725

>Implying either one would be better than the other

>>814722

>>814723

This one's more tricky, but it's probably the older horse considering the race history. It was a japanese trained horse though, which might explain how she's otherwise a fluent speaker.

Weirdly records say that they were both black horses, but her hair's distinctly brown.

>>814731

Anon all of the horses are horribly inbred. The stuff that goes on in the horse racing industry would put even the sickest of doujin artists to shame. Also yuri pregnancies and regular-cock futa 'yuri' is perfectly fine.

>>814732

>older horse

My mistake, the younger horse, I just assumed that the one with more history was the older horse without actually double checking

>>814735

Ah wait, she boasts an undefeated lifetime record so it has to be Fuji-senior.

>random fat old balding man with a carrot in the middle of the night

I bet he was trying to lure in and drug an uma girl running in the night so he could take her into his apartment and breed her, it´s what I would do probably.

>>814737

What if Sunday Silence is a fat old balding man!?

>>814736

Fuji Kiseki Himiko also only has younger sisters, so it has to be the mother.

>>814737

Trying to ruin an expensive lineage- That's a pretty dangerous game you're playing

>>814738

Sunday silence is the yuri queen of all anime ever. No other girl has had as many yuri babies as he's had. He couldn't be a fat balding man either since he won all those races, and died of a horrible leg infection so he wouldn't have been able to do much after retiring.

>All modern Thoroughbreds trace back to three stallions imported into England from the Middle East in the late 17th and early 18th centuries: the Byerley Turk (1680s), the Darley Arabian (1704), and the Godolphin Arabian (1729)

>>815293

Why the long face?

>>815909

This is really bizarre. Of all the anime that have been released in the past few years, horse idol girls is the one that incited him to draw all of these?

Is Uma musume 'trending' on mainstream sites or something?

>>815913

Well, his other series is called Otaku Dad, and this one is about him being a self-pitying sad sack of shit whose main traits are being bodily fat and gross, a deep obsession with McNuggets, and a deep, deep love of popular 2D because no 3D woman would ever actually desire him. He tends to keep up with anime.

>>815913

Ronnie has been drawing all sorts of shit and its not surprise that this guy decided to pick up this anime and make a few comics out of it. Its also no surprise that each comic is great on its own. Dude is pretty legit and doesnt get sucked into social politics like every other web comic artist out there.

Its safe to say that ronnie will always be ronnie, for better or worse and he is one of us. I would buy this dude a 20 piece any day.

>>815921

>>815916

A while ago I remember reading through the majority of the comics he had released, and at the time I only ever saw vague references to k-on, lucky star, etc. (bearing in mind that this was learly 2010s, so not when these shows were airing) and no references to any currently airing material. It never struck me that he was particularly interested in anime, since the references could just as well have been currently airing if he was actively interested in anime, or older series if he was invested in anime some time before but wasn't currently, but instead it was just stuff that 'I've watched 20 whole anime in my lifetime' type folks would recognise and normal people wouldn't really care about either way.

>>816550

Yes I'd take an Uma and breed it with it's award winning nephew, uncle, half-brother, and mother's half sister's father then sell the children off for massive profit.

Best of all I'd want to put them down after a minor injury or illness completely destroys their in-bred racing bodies.

>They eat horse in Eastern Europe

A few years ago a supermarket in the UK was accidentally selling lasagnes made with horse meat. It wasn't well received.

>A few years ago a supermarket in the UK was accidentally selling lasagnes made with horse meat. It wasn't well received.

Made ripples throughout Europe, I think the source was traced back to Spain or something? It wasn't really accidental, some supplier was just selling meat under a false label, I can't imagine horse meat being cheaper though, so their reasons are unclear to me.

In any case, yes, that raised a huge stink and I can't imagine horse meat being sold in western europe for the foreseeable future.

>I can't imagine horse meat being sold in western europe

What are you talking about, horse meat is sold in every western European nation.

>>817115

Is horse tasty?

>>817120

I ate it once in Switzerland

It's okay. Nothing special.

>>817120

It's allegedly a leaner meat, so I'd imagine it's like a European version of Bison meat.

>>817113

Horse meat is incredibly cheaper than cow. Horses need far less sustenance/grazing to produce a pound of meat compared to cattle. I think they need slightly less than bison.

>>817115

My guess is that's because little girls wuv horses.

>>817149

Ah, it would make sense the price depends on feed quantity.

>>817223

Welp, that tears it, I'm watching this now. I'll come back with my opinion after.

Special Week thinks another horse girl is cute. Was the actual special week breeded with this other girl or is just for the anime? The Derby was satisfying but it feels a bit empty not winning outright.

>>817115

I'd eat horse because they're herbivores who naturally are prey for predators.

Animals don't eat Lion, but they do eat horse because that's the natural way of things.

I don't eat dog or cat for the same reason, not just their domestication, which is also a factor.

I guess domestication is the issue.

>>817304

>I guess domestication is the issue

>Horses aren't domesticated somehow

Never go full retard. Also, Horse meat is leaner than Cattle's which means it's harder, has less fat, less flavor and less nutritive. It's basically all muscle.

>>817306

>It's basically all GAINS!!!

Fixed that for you.

>>817306

Domestication isn't a big issue for me, but it is for some people. That's why it's taboo to eat horse. Not saying I wouldn't.

Reading comprehension, anon.

>>816550

This made me think of Fabio, maybe that's why he was so popular, similarity to a horse.

>>817316

You should learn how to write instead of saying now things you left unsaid and not even implied and then calling other for not reading your mind.

>>817312

Anon... Do you even lift?

>>817365

It was pretty clear what >>817304 was implying.

But >>817306 is a retard, which is shown by the fact that he can't use greentext properly.

>>817381

Deflecting his blame for writing/expression disabilities onto another's reading is not only a sign of dishonesty but fragile ego. Look at the guy's phrasing, he writes as if he's speaking in topics, disconnected and autistic, he clearly isn't capable of transferring what he's thinking to writing form.

>>817423

You're forgetting the surippu-sutoriimu!

>>817423

You can't run as fast you can for 2400 meters, that's why taking the lead in the beginning is rarely a good idea

>>817723

It's even in the OP.

>>817723

Because she's an anime autist. anime autists are destined for pain and suffering for the sake of comedy.

>>817423

I see you've never raced before.

I agree that the end result is pretty simple, but there's a lot of preparation to get to it, and long races have a lot of variables the racers have to think of, like maintaining pace, when to sprint, how to pass someone, curves, how to not let someone pass you while not overexerting yourself, and in this anime there's even an uphill.

I also think team sports are more interesting in the end, but this type of thing about pushing limits is pretty cool too.

Now powerlifting, there's a sport which I think is the pinnacle of simplicity.

>like maintaining pace, when to sprint, how to pass someone, curves, how to not let someone pass you while not overexerting yourself, and in this anime there's even an uphill.

I am aware of this. But the races go for only a couple of minutes at most in this, and despite the anime spending most of its time on training and internal monologues, we don't usually see them considering this sort of thing. It's all just "I need to run faster" or "woah that girl is so fast".

In the most recent episode they were using the slipstream technique in the first part of the race, but there has never been a "it's early in the race so I'll just jog for a while" or "it's the end of the race, I need to go as fast as I can now".
