If my memory serves me right this is the first time we see Oguri Cap getting pissed off.
Can Cinderella Gray be summed as Blue Lock but horse racing?
I've seen clips of this show pop up on my shorts feed recently and that theme song is now ingrained in my head.
So these girls are supposed to be horses right? and they're all based off real life race horses? and there's a game for this too right?
seems like it just came out of nowhere and blew up in popularity. is it good?
Can't speak for the game, but if you're looking for an anime about track & field, Umamusume and Run With The Wind are the best you can find IMO
It's good
It's more that the West has just recently discovered Uma Musume. The show and the game it is based on has been enormously popular in Japan since its inception. I guess it just takes some time for a general audience to acclimate to the idea of racing horse girls.
As for the show itself, I haven't watched it. However, I have seen it praised highly and seen some really, really well animated clips. They really put that gacha game money to use when they are animating this. @Endmaker@ani.social has had really great things to say about the story as well, and I have seen elsewhere that it is a great example of a sports anime (if that's your thing).
is it good?
If you ask in a dedicated thread for it, you are going to get biased responses.
Anyway, it's good.
But rather than take others' words for it, how about checking a few episodes out?😉
Edit / P.S. here are my reviews of Umamusume if you care about that:
It's hard to go into details about it without entering spoiler territory. The best way to tell if it is good is to see it for yourself.
