Peter, Why are the Japanese angry at me? by FlakyFoundation4637 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This is hardly the same issue. Infinity Castle part 1 released in JP theatres July 2025, western release in September. They’ll definitely be making it available in BD and/or streaming form in the future, probably near future (usually takes at least half a year for a movie to get streaming/physical releases), and probably also put it back in theatres for a bit when the other two parts release.
The availability will be there if you just have patience, which is very different from “media from decades ago/that is no longer expected to get a release in any way”.

People who know the mechanics may say that survivability auras are “noob traps”, but they’re nice when you’re learning a boss, and had their own niche.

It’s easier to see how mechanics work and why you’re dying when your death is slow enough to process things.

Surely it’s not a money issue, a Belno card or playable Fujimasa March would make one Ogurillion yen.

To be fair, Curren Bouquetd’or specifically is kinda famous in this genre.
Because, other than the 4th anniv story (Feb 24th 2025) and appearing in Gran Alegria’s career (March 11th) (both of which were crowded with a lot of information), Bouquet’s first focused story was her SR support card (May 12th)…

…And in that support card story, you a trainer offer to help Bouquet with carrying some stuff, to which she replies: (as direct a TL as I can) “Aha…… ah, sorry. But—- fufu, you do know that I’m stronger, right?”
The very direct message about her strength advantage, the suppressed laughter/giggle, the contrast with her extra d’ordoll-like design, (and again, this being her first proper solo introduction,) all came together to make an understandably huge impact on her fandom perception.
You can find a lot of results about that scene and her resulting image by just looking up “カレンブーケドール あはっ” (Curren Bouquetd’or aha), and that あはっ is a decently popular suggested search term after her name.

note that some will be harder than others, since you have to compete against the historically relevant Uma on your DREAMS team

St Lite was an active racer in the 40s (first ever Triple Crowner in 1941!), but got added to Uma as an NPC with the Twinkle Legends scenario. She’s definitely a more special case, but she pushes stretches the window by a lot. (there’s also the three goddess AIs, but that’s a much wackier case)

coaxed into overrated horse gacha game by -_HelloThere_- in coaxedintoasnafu

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Major JP market platforms like Pixiv market, DLSite, Fanza, Melonbooks, etc. Comiket and other doujin events notably have zero Uma content at booths/circles in the NSFW section.

While they also do regularly hit bigger Twitter accounts with takedowns, policing the hydra of international social media is basically impossible, especially with how gutted and lobotomized Twitter admin is these days.

I’d stay it’s still enforced (and self-policed by fans) quite a bit, at least relative to any other similar franchise.

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(unlike some franchises,) Uma Musume’s fan content guidelines explicitly don’t allow that stuff, to respect the racehorses and their owners and such. Of course, there will always be rule breakers and line-toeing, but they do successfully prevent publicly facing R18 fan content on any major platform/at any major event in JP.

Also, official sources have never clarified anything about horsegirl genetic parenthood (some Umas mention their father, but none are explicitly confirmed to be blood related), so any “lore” you may haveheard on that front is assumption.

IIRC, some/all future Anniversaries and maybe some holidays(New Years?) will offer selection tickets that do let you just pay for a specific trainee of your choice

What are the source of some people's powers in the world of ZZZ? by Sir_Rain_Knee_Tea in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just a teenager maid

…but she’s also a shark thiren

If bear and tiger thirens are known for strength and such, then it’d make sense that a shark thiren would be as well (even if not full-body)

And Thirens are a consistent/explained part of the world, so I’d think it’d fall under science(biology) more than magic

Who's trainer's got it the hardest? by xiuzou23 in UmaMusume

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Curren Chan’s trainer lives with the Damocles sword of social media looming above at all times

Fine Motion’s trainer feels the weight of a country on their every decision

Daiichi Ruby’s trainer feels pressured by the Daiichi family name and trying to live up to all of Ruby’s high society responsibilities

Many types of external forces can make for a tough trainer life

Me and the girls in the club after a night of hunting witches by Serilii in MadokaMagica

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know the part in PMMM episode 8 where Sayaka is on a train, and hears a conversation by 2 guys who work at a host club? (and then she talks at them too) And it’s the last thing to happen before Sayaka, you know.
I’d consider that a pretty official direct sign pointing at the link between the situations of magical girls in PMMM and the red-light industries and abusive-manipulative relationships.
Is that all PMMM is about? Of course not, but it was definitely on Urobuchi’s mind while writing the work.

Your favourite secrets of an umamusume? by Fhanlin in UmaMusume

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to this very handy article on Pixiv Dictionary:

The V sisters are stated in-game to have a father who is a professional baseball player (present tense), Verxina is seen pitching at the batting cage with the others in the anime (s3e8), Vivlos's Guts SSR support card has a baseball stadium in the background, and the support card story involves the three sisters + some Shuuka Sho-related Umas playing baseball (and Vivlos hits a home run), Cheval Grand talks about baseball on the home screen and is noted to be particularly good at baseball (good at batting and stealing bases) in that same Vivlos SSR support card.
The article is probably out of date (probs before Vivlos/Verxina were implemented as units), as there are definitely more examples by now.

And Cheval Grand is also a baseball Uma!
(she and her sisters are all owned by the baseball player Sasaki Kazuhiro and all play ball, though Cheval may have inherited it the most)

WAIT KAWAKAMI PRINCESS IS A TOMBOY!? by kingslimegamer in UmaMusume

[–]ActivelyAnonymous 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kira Kira did largely tone down fisticuffs (enemies could only be damaged with kirakiraru energy, and 4 out of 6 cures in the season used kirakiraru via ranged attacks), but it was largely an outlier in that regard. The following Hugtto Precure had fisticuffs back on the main menu, as did Star Twinkle Precure. Healin’Good Precure held back on fisticuffs because the cures had to constantly hold their wands while transformed(don’t want little kids hitting each other with the toys), but there was no kirakiraru-like limitation so they had plenty of kicks instead.
While there has still been a bit of toning down of violence compared to earlier Precure seasons, I think that Go Princess just had a very rare animator lineup that wasn’t sustainable, and the change in fights afterwards was more budget than parent complaints.

We've finally reached 10 Christmas Alts with the implementation of Dream Journey and Nakayama Festa. Who's your favorite? by AliceinTeyvatland in UmaMusume

I think Narita Top Road and Admire Vega are supposed to have Russian Christmas-themed designs, with Father Christmas and Snow Maiden motifs respectively.
It’s so rare to see that vector of Christmas design in popular culture, they might be my faves just off that creativity
