We continue our dive into the Umamusume franchise with a review and discussion of seasons two and three of Umamusume Pretty Derby in this episode! They're big improvements over the lackluster first season but which horse anime should you bet on? We stumble out the gate to answer that question and more all in this week's episode!

Music in this episode:

(Intro)

"koishii" - Deoxys Beat

(Interlude)

"Rising Star" - Tatami

(Closing)

"Where's My Jetpack?" - Computer Music All-Stars

Himmel was right. Doing an emotional goodbye really is embarrassing if you do meet again.

We're back and we're here more than ever (but not better by any means) to yell at you about anime and anime accessories like it's 2020 all over again. In this episode, we discuss how the last two years have been treating us as well as indulge our horse girl hyper fixation with a review and discussion of the first season of Umamusume Pretty Derby! Hang out with us once again! We love you and it's good to be back. Ganbatte!

Hey gang! Due to copyright restrictions, some of our old episodes will be removed for an indefinite amount of time until I can either A) contest the songs used in each episode under fair use or B) just edit them out. I don't know if this matters to anyone but I'd download the following episodes from a platform such as podbay.fm if you like them because they might soon be unavailable for a time.
