I generally don’t like sports anime – I didn’t like Haikyuu, I thought Tsurune was mid, and most shows of this kind bore me to death. But this season of Uma Musume somehow managed to pull me in. Every race felt unique, I was hyped for the competition, and the comedy bits were great, even though towards the end we’ve seen less of it. I’m really satisfied how this finale turned out. We finally have worthy competitors to Oguri and it makes me excited for the next cour, which was announced to air this fall.

You weren’t kidding. Holy shit, the first episode was heavy. Incredible stuff

Damn, it seems I’m gonna have 14 shows to watch on weekends…

It’s from the author of Violet Evergarden so I’ll at least give it a try.

Out of the shows I’ve seen so far this season, this one had the best premiere.

The first episode looks like all style with no substance. The visuals are fine but the dialogues suck and VA deliveries feel very flat. I didn’t expect much because I’m not a fan of Watanabe’s works, but even with that in mind it disappoints.

Really fun first episode. I’ll be definitely watching this. The song they played at the end is Ghost Dance by Lite

I totally didn’t plan to watch this but first episode was surprisingly good. The action scenes weren’t great but storytelling hooked me in right from the start. I’m still gonna be cautious though, because the studio’s reputation is in the gutter. Let’s hope this won’t crash and burn this time.
