NANI?

Horse girls was just kind of boring to me, it hit the exact same notes as a million other idol or sports shows and didn't have anything interesting outside of the main gimmick which tbh made me feel pretty uncomfortable too.

I watched the first episode of Uma Musume expecting to like it but it sat poorly with me. The girls as horses thing made me more uncomfortable than I expected. I liked the character's antics and want Special Week to accomplish her dream, but then there'd be a scene where the trainer just felt up Special Week in public like it was fine, or one of the character's dehumanizing names would be said, or there's that girl who is wearing a bridle, and it just felt weird
i mean how are the names any more dehumanizing than any other show where the girls have weird names

Because they're not usually based on real life animals that people own?

Excluding Orb, because Orb is an excellent name.

I don't know if there's actually injustice in California, but I'm going to assume there is, by virtue of injustice existing everywhere.

the best touhou character is the rich girl and her broke sister and im sad they were introduced after touhou kinda lost a lot of its popularity

Touhou hasn't actually lost any popularity, it's mostly just that its audience has slowly shifted downward in age
Kids are super into the series this days, especially girls. It rules because it's basically the audience it should have, it's great.

Isn't the plot of every touhou that they're a bunch of stupid assholes? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but perhaps not the best role models for the children.

Not a single Touhou character is a good role model. That's one of its best features and it wears this fact on its sleeve

Some graffiti artists thought it was very important that viewers flying overhead know that the road is two lane "cracked" blacktop.

Megalobox owned that first episode wow! I can't wait to see more.

Golden Kamuy seems like it is interesting and has some cool plot stuff going on. CG bear looked real bad, but otherwise I liked it.

Mahou Shoujo Ore sucked terribly and didn't even do their gimmick well.
