Ive been waiting for 500 years XD ITS TIME

RoxyLoserlesbian

Please watch the anime please please please please please

dartcp

you ask if everyone in this world is a horse girl and answer the question yourself with this man is not a horse girl ...... yes, he is a man ^^

dartcp

In terms of quality, a large portion of gacha game animes are of quite good quality. This could be because they make enough money with gacha games to afford quality.

SCD

you'd stop smiling at season 2 lol

AdrixelCV

Best girl are Rice Shower and Haru Urara, btw

jerry.larsson

There is a concert with hololive and goldship on youtube

dartcp

I don't remember what it's called but there's a gatcha game anime with ship girls (i.e. warships in girl form) that would be sus ^^

Zen Reacts

Luke I will pay actual money per episode for you to watch this anime

Subaquatic Toaster

Ah yes. Very wholesome show. Only happiness. No sadness involved whatsoever. 😭

Subaquatic Toaster

I'm just gonna say, rule of thumb, if it looks like an anime, its the anime and if it looks like a game, its the game. As to which came first, technically the anime did. It was meant to release alongside the game but the game was delayed so the anime came out first. Conceptually the game was the first though if memory serves.

Nico Sun

Coming from a guy who's watched anime practically his whole life, you should watch this anime. I started it halfheartedly just to laugh and meme at the silly concept of the whole thing, and if not for season 1 being a little lackluster compared to the proper cinema of the others it would go straight into my top 5. Season 1 has it's strengths and serves as a decent introduction to how the "world" of umamusume works, but in my opinion it's very noticeably weaker than the others, besides it's not really that long either.

TheFihr

All this are openings from the anime. Now you need to react to the endings too and character songs.

J

The anime absolutely goes hard. Its not sus at all because every one of the horse girls is based on an IRL horse and part of the agreement Cygames has to use the horses for the anime/game is they don't want to do anything sus done with them. It's a long story that really came about from certain jockeys getting upset when it happened in the past. It even involves rumors with the yakuza which aren't true but funny lol. Each of the seasons focus on different girls and their stories which are based on events that happened to their IRL versions. ...but since you wanted to know, Maruzensky best girl. xD

Marcio Neves

I have only watched Cinderella Gray and found it amazing! The first occurs was peak from start to end, can't wait for Cours 2. About the firts opening, I am not sure if it is from the anime, but FOR SURE it is the same from the game 😁 The anime was supposed to be released alongside the game, in Japan, but delayed productions made the game release after the anime. And it was recently released worldwide, so anyone can play it, not only Japan 🫡

Marcio Neves

About the umamusume biology: in this world there's no horse. All horse "duties" were done by umamusume. They are always girls, and they can be born from both regular human parents, like a mutation. And AFAIK umamusume can marry and have children with regular man, but all their children will also be Umamusume

Capt'n Ren

The reason the animation looks different is because multiple studios have worked on the show, at first Cygames did not have an inhouse studio. Once they made a fortune off the game they built one. Now the shows and movies are done by Cygames hence the crazy animation improvements. Including other shows such as this seasons The Summer Hikaru Died is done by Cygames animation team. You REALLY need to watch "The Chaotic History of the Horse Game That Took Over the World - Umamusume: Pretty Derby" by Mujin. Will provide a ton of info about Cygames and how the company grew to what it is today along with how Uma Musume has had a massive effect on modern horse racing.

Ltnorm

At this point you might as well watch the anime, witch is amazing

lxForce21xl

If I remember correctly, the anime and game were going to released at the same time (2018), but the game got delayed quite a bit, coming out in 2021. Also if you do play the game just a heads up the tutorial is quite long... like hour+ long.

TKD_Weirdo

Since the horse girls are based on real horses, they'd have legal trouble if they made it too sus. In fact there are rights to names that have been retracted because it's too sus as it is now.

scalien

Basic quick answers: The horse girls are horses from our world reborn. They can come from a human couple or from a human male and horse girl. There no "real" horses in this world. In real life horses live into their 20s and rarely considered competive past the age of 6. So the show has generations of racers. Each season showcasing a difference 'era' of Japanese horse racing. Uma do not age like humans. It is never explained, but horse girls who are presented as little kids in one season will be freshmen the next season. The student council president, presented as a student, is in nearly every season in that roll, even along side other students she met as little kids, who meet other girls as little kids, and all are going to the same academy. The show starts as silly slice of life but gets more serious as time goes on. Also, the seasons are not chronological. For example, Tokai Teo is presented in season one as a horse who helps the protagonist, Special Week, special week. In season 2 Tokai Teo in the main protagonist and her challenges are presented. Special Week raced in 1997 to 1999. Tokai Teo raced in 1991 to 1993. Neary every race, every win, loss, and injury, has a real world equivalent in it. It can make the show very unpredictable as winners of a race are not based on typical dramatic rules, but actual wins and losses. As a result, you can be spoiled on every race and story beat by looking up the history of the horse by their name in the anime. Yes. Every girl carries the real world name of their inspiration. Special week, Symbolic Rudolf, Narita Brian, to name a few. There are horse girls all over the world, but the series focuses on famous Japanese race horses. Yes, there are horse girls who are not racers. Mentioned are horse girl martial artists, as an example. Horse girls might be cute wifus, but they have the strength and power of a full horse in that little frame.

Marcio Neves

Another trivia that is explained outside of the anime and the game. Every horse girl bears an ornament in one of their ears. If it is the left one, the original horse is/was a female one. If it is in the right ear, it is/was a male one.

Some0neElse

I remember at some point Gigguk talked about this anime (when season 1 was coming out) but i never really watched it. From what i know the characters are based on real racing horses from Japan (probably why the anime blew up) . Definitely looks good and id probably be watching it if i didnt have to catch up with like 1000 animes and reactions im following...

Nellyk

The game was supposed to come along the first anime season but got delayed and ended up releasing right after 2nd season finished. Many wholesome shows out there, but just a honorable mention that I hope you get to check out someday is Idolm@ster. Loooots of good songs and their anime was enjoyable! That anime is based on a game/games as well and are also produced by the same company as Umamusume; Cygames, and have similar "2D/3D model" and concerts quality similar to the Umamusume song "GIRLS' LEGEND U" that you previously checked out .

Marcio Neves

That last opening was from Cinderella Gray. You have already reacted to it, but that one is the second version of the opening, when there's a "shift" in the story and we move from the countryside races to the main academy we have seen in the previous ones

Deshawn Smith

I really want luke to watch this lol, umamusume is such a good series

Joshua Nguyen

Still waiting for the day for the "Tales of" series opening.

thewizardninja

Fun fact: You may have heard from others that there are no actual horses in the world of Umamusume, but it extends to their language as well. The kanji for "Uma" (horse in Japanese) has 4 "legs" but in the world of Umamusume it's redesigned to only have 2. Similarly, there's lots of famous artwork featuring horses that they redo to feature umamusume instead.

crazizzle85

The only possibly sus thing is a gag in s1 where a trainer keeps treating horse girls like horses and then they kick him. Inoffensive, really. S1 through s3 are a continuous story. Road to the top is an online animation of four episodes. A mini series, basically. Brand new era is a movie. And Cinderella Grey is a spinoff based on a popular prequel manga. Cinderella Grey actually won one online poll fir Anime of the season. Great show. You'll laugh, you'll cry... You'll feel things watching this show.

Martin Mikuláš

Before game released we got Umamusume to anime tournament i hope with new fans it can win

Callum D

The main series 1-3 are there own continuity and every other series and films are their own continuities

O_Rice_0

I think this would be a fun series to have Luke watch. Not played the game as it is not my typical type of game, but have watched the 3 seasons of the main series anime and what has been released so far for the Chibi series Umayon. Gonna talk a bit about the show without giving away too much for Luke or those that want to watch it without knowing too much going in. If you want to avoid that stop reading now. To answer a few question Luke brough up earlier when it comes to the 3 seasons of the main series: - Each season has a different primary protagonist with a secondary protagonist. They are nearly deuteragonists (I'd argue season 2 probably comes closest) as the two get much focus and agency in the story. Many of the other horse girls also get some focus and small story arcs as well so I think the shows do a good balances of giving ancillary and tertiary characters some plot and screen time as well. - I was quite pleased that the plots of the 3 seasons were pretty well done, and do have some good emotional development. I'd say it would be above the average when it comes to many releases in that regard. - I think it is a very good looking show, especially when convey movement and speed (pretty vital given what the show is about) Last little bit is going to talk about more specifics so I'm gonna mark it as spoiler warning. Skip this now if you don't want spoilers for season 2. I found the second season to be my favorite of the three and much more impactful because of personal connections. I've been working through a bad leg injury for nearly a year now and do have to start considering that I may not be able to perform in my sport like how I used to. Not quite giving up yet, but just something that I've had to have talks about because of the nature of the injury. That's why I found season 2 to be particularly engaging.

Skebaba

I'm lowkey curious how our unga bunga ancestors domesticated the umas in this universe 😭

Mari

You should definitely watch the anime. Season 1 is ok but season 2 is actual peak, it's unironically an incredible sports anime. As weird as the premise sounds at first, it's actually shockingly wholesome and non-sus. Because the girls are based on real life horses they need permission from the owners to use them and so they actually treat it very seriously and respectfully.

thewizardninja

I mean it's not like they're a totally different species, they just started getting born from human couples like a genetic mutation.

Rem is best waifu

I still haven't finished season 1 but I play the game everyday

KFP Prophet Bardwyne

The 1st season (PA Works) aired in 2018, the game was also supposed to be released then but was delayed till 2021 (Global released a couple months ago) s2 aired in 2021, s3 in 2023 (Studio Kai), the movies and Cinderella Grey part 1 aired in 2023, 24 and 25 (Cygames), with Cinderella Grey part 2 coming next season. And best girl is the Centurial Overlord, TM Opera O 😤

del

s1-3 of pretty derby are shounen sports / idol with some drama and SoL mixed in. Road to the Top is a four ep OVA (no tv production deadlines + fewer eps to animate = higher production value) is more serious in tone. And then Cinderella Gray aka peak is a seinen sports anime. And the horse girl lore: - there are no horses in the world of uma musume - there are no horse boys, only horse girls - where they come from, biologically speaking? the company that makes the game is intentionally vague on that except to say there are horse girl moms (horse women?) so one can only speculate

Itto Sanzzo

That would be a reeeally long reaction. Also, we would need to get all the openings for him, or else there would be a bunch missing, most definitely

TheKnightwatchOfficial

I love happy, wholesome anime. I mostly watch that. I don't mind dark anime, but too much starts to get on my nerves. So give me anime with great characters I can root for and storylines that can go dark but not depressing. So many good ones this season. I really need to add this to my watchlist, but dang if I don't have a lot to watch as it is.

ManicMan 1601

i would actually love for you to react to the anime of this, this is such an underrated show!

Bobby Vang

Ah yes, Umamusume: Cinderella Grey, the last one. It's peak.

Kyle Garrett

The Anime came first. Originally the game and S1 were both supposed to release in 2018, but only S1 came out in 2018, and the game didn't release until 2021. S2 of the anime came out that year as well and from there it exploded in popularity. The game only had a JP server though, and while they've gradually released more servers over time, the Global Server that the West has access to only released this June, so that's why Uma Musume is exploding now, since it's the first time the mainstream audience has had a chance to experience it.

Kyle Garrett

Also the studio that does the Anime is a branch of the same company making the Games. Again, they were meant to release together so everything is in house. The animation style has just evolved over time.

Shendri27

You have to watch the anime it really exceed all my expectation and deserve much more shine around the world :)

This Guy

Would love for you to play the game, it's a lot of fun! Would love to see your reaction to the actual horse lores that the umas were adapted from. It's really wholesome :)

AngelGxbriel

Blue lock mentioned, must watch So glad you've got an eye for UMAMUSUME, anime is bare cute, but the game is disturbingly fun and addictive, I've found myself on it everyday since, got it not long after global release and now it's taken over all of twitch.

Rodrigo Casiraghi Buitrago

If you love music so much, especially music performed by the characters' voice actors, you should seek out and react to the concerts. Depending on who is top 3 on the race, they appear on stage and sing, and there are some great songs.

Ryan

all i know is that if you reacted to the Uma shows it will be peak content :)))

Tsusaku Cohenat

I think i've read somewhere, that where they come from, has something to with the 3 goddesses. And for people who dont understand what Horse Girls yes, but Horse Boys no means, yes the fathers are human males :D

Tsusaku Cohenat

Hmm, i liked the first one, but could not go through the second, not enough Spe-chan

Skyhark

Prolly not worth reacting to since wasn't part of this video, but the last opening you watched, that was part 2 of that opening. There is a part one that has a couple of different characters and animated scenes. But maybe watch yerself, or watch when/if you see the anime later. :)

Lichmourne

This would be a perfect anime to react to. I want to see your reaction to how each season changes up and evolves. Also NEED to catch up on Cinderella Gray before the next season comes out.

SouldeLuna

|Haru Urara supremacy.

EternallyLost

If you want more of the music There are playlists of all the 'concerts' in the game and there are TONS of songs for that but that might be more fun after you've tried the game and was surprised by them ingame. Lots of good songs in there all sung by the various VAs. As for the Shows season 1-3 are (in general) more slice of life and comedic in tone, increasing in sports drama as it goes along. - Road to the top is a 4 episode ONA free on Youtube that takes the competition side even more serious, alongside the Movie Beginning of a new era which were done by cy games pictures themselves so the animation quality is boosted by all the Gacha money. - Cinderella Grey is a Side story in the same universe taking place before the other season but also is a fully Sprots anime vibe to it with a few dashes of the cute comedy to keep it grounded. Very Hype and we have the 2nd cour coming out in Fall so might be worth jumping on to catch up :)

Laslow

i would love to see you react to the anime

iDiarkis

Interview with monster girls and flying witch are my go to happy pills. just chill fun and good times

Marcio Neves

LOL! That's an awesome compilation 🤣

Ty L

Its not sus coz its a mix of idol genre and sports genre

Len Bruins

Flying witch is so underated but so good. If you're looking for similar vibes Amanchu! is great it's focussed around diving but hits the same

TacticalFox31

This anime is great, honestly if you like sports and idol anime with great stories. Then you will enjoy this anime, I love how the fan service is next to none. The trainer during season one is a bit sus but after season one they cut that out, Each season focuses on a different girl. Since the girls anime careers follow the careers of the actual IRL horses when it comes to the graded races, you can only spoil it if you look up the IRL horses race record. On top of that Cinderella Gray is an amazing prequel then there is Road to the Top a short 4 episode story that is amazing and the movie Beginning of a New Era that also slaps. Honestly I hope after core 2 of Cinderella Gray that releases October 5th they continue to make more seasons. There are so many girls I would love to learn about and watch their stories.

Kot Bajun

I watched Umamusume anime as it aired. I knew it was based on the game, but man, it’s just wholesome and honestly doesn’t even have much of the game vibe to it. Just fun to watch, especially the 1st season.

Daniel Gonzalez

The sports anime where its really hard to hate any one team is Ace of Diamond there might be a couple but literally almost every team has their own circumstances and reasons to root for them I started with the game 1st and love Bourbon(ha alcoholic saying his favorite horse girl is one of the ones named after alcohol) but its because she's basically a Gundam and I love Gundam above all never understood why people hate on mecha anime to me I'm like giant robots and human pilots political intrigue this is awesome but I guess I'm a minority on that front

Daniel Gonzalez

Its all cute now but Spoilers I fucking despise King Halos mother and god forbid as a newbie you satisfy her but the point I draw a line is making my horse girl cry I swear it makes me feel like shit more than anything but similar to Rice Shower always messing up my MB runs for Triple Crown it feels like a canon event at my current level I hate not being able to make a difference as her trainer but also for me personally these are daughters so it makes sense to me you don't see much lewding of the horse girls plus also most of these horse "girls" are actually stallions the way to tell is the location of an ornament on their ears one side is male and the other indicates female

Daniel Gonzalez

I think its funny you mentioned Hololive because I feel like the easiest way to explain it is umamusame is basically Hololive if they were horsegirls and instead of streaming they mostly focused on racing but were still comedians because yknow Hololive so its no surprise they do concerts as well anyways I've been playing the game since a bit after the global debut and have been having a good time and haven't spent anything yet tho I'm considering it because I like the amount of work put into the stories so at the very least I want to reward them with a standard $60 premium game but at most am thinking of special edition\collectors edition price but was thinking of most efficient way to spend it on a welcoming package or just going for carats all the way

iDiarkis

oh right, I've completely forgot about that one. guess its time for a rewatch

Stormgren

Just the newer Anime releases are inhouse Cygames Pictures productions. Season 1 and 2 were done by Progressive Animation Works (P.A. Works) and Season 3 by Studio KAI

SQX Barto

I almost gave up s2 for the same reason. But got used to it and enjoyed it. I enjoyed s1 and s3 more than s2. Still in process with the movies.

SQX Barto

Owners gave rights for free for the anime in the condition that there is no "sus" in the anime, also it's an unwritten rule not to make sus fanart of them. (rumor if you do the Yakuza will knock on your door :D )

SQX Barto

I read everywhere that S1 is the weakest and so on. I really loved it, and when S2 started, I was disappointed because I was missing Special Week, and I almost left S2.
