OK, seriously, hear me -- Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is all about horse chicks, but they're great horse chicks. The storyline follows horsewoman Special Week along with her trip is the #1 horsewoman in Japan. Every one these horsewomen attend a particular school and train to race at a derby. Special Week grabs a race her way in and finds Silence Shizuka, yet another racer who cannot be overcome by anybody. The two quickly become friends and competitions. This series feels exactly like a sports game, however with adorable horse chicks. While I anticipated odd"moe" fanservice out of Uma Musume, it was really amazingly healthy and enjoyable. Each of the women can also be named after actual racehorses, and that is also amusing.
