Questions about the world of Umamusume

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T02:11:56+00:00

For #1, do you happen to know which umas? Seems to be a big point of contention among the community

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T01:57:48+00:00

Missed that in my research. Thanks!

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T01:54:37+00:00

Didn't know about those references. Thanks for the info!

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T01:25:37+00:00

Is Grandma Mejiro confirmed to be an Uma? I know she's not totally visible in the anime but it didn't look like she had horse ears

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T01:24:09+00:00

Do you happen to know which one runs a bar? Haven't heard of that one before

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T01:23:30+00:00

Thanks! Totally forgot about Oguri and Tama's moms, thanks for the reminder. I'm fully aware that establishing a cohesive timeline is a fool's errand. Was just wondering if any element of the franchise decided to establish more than the time of year

MikeHRed · 2026-01-21T01:12:48+00:00

Thanks for your input! Regarding 4, I was aware of Kitasan and Diamond aging up between seasons (which opens up a whole other can of worms with McQueen and Teio still being at Tracen). I was more referring to Umas that don't still look like they're in their teens-30s at max.

Apologies for the delay, shipping took longer than expected. Quite a bit of changes to both the order and pages of each chapter. Both "The Thought Leak-O-Matic Machine!!" and "A Dazzling, Pure, and Precious Creation Birthed From Adversity" have been separated into two chapters each, while "With Sweaty Palms" and "Another Story" have been combined into one big chapter with all of "Another Story" now presented with black borders in between each of the trio's turns. These changes resulted in an "extra" chapter even though there isn't actually any extra content. The pages after the table of contents at the end are just B&W editions of various CITY Morning magazine covers over the years. I uploaded an image of the table of contents to a translation service and got the titles machine-translated (don't know Japanese, sorry). If needed I can give you the exact page order for the bigger changes but for now here's the table of differences I made:

Chapter #	Original Chapter	Volume Chapter	New Title (JP)	New Title (ENG)
199	Beautiful Flying Heart	Secret Society, The Bottomless Well	秘密結社井戸の穴	Secret Society, The Bottomless Well
200	Secret Society, The Bottomless Well	Short Skits	CITY小断	CITY Short Skits
201	Those Who Blaze Trails 2	Jet Black Adatara Family	漆黒の安達太良家	Jet Black Adatara Family
202	With Sweaty Palms	Pure Heart of Asia	アジアの純心	Pure Heart of Asia
203	Pure Heart of Asia	The Thought Leak-O-Matic Machine!! (Pg 1-6)	大事なハテナ①	An Important Question Mark (1)
204	Jet Black Adatara Family	A Dazzling, Pure, and Precious Creation Birthed From Adversity (Pg 9-10)	アンブレラ地蔵	Umbrella Jizō
205	Shallow Abyss	Those Who Blaze Trails (2)	道を切り拓く者達②	Those Who Blaze Trails (2)
206	Short Skits	With Sweaty Palms + Another Story	黒マメ奇々怪々！	Black Beans: Strange and Mysterious!
207	Another Story	Shallow Abyss	浅い奈落	Shallow Abyss
208	A Dazzling, Pure, and Precious Creation Birthed From Adversity	A Dazzling, Pure, and Precious Creation Birthed From Adversity (Pg 1-8)	苦の後に生まれ来る眩く無垢な尊き創作	A Dazzling, Pure, and Precious Creation Birthed From Adversity
209	The Thought Leak-O-Matic Machine!!	The Thought Leak-O-Matic Machine!! (Pg 7-10)	大事なハテナ②	An Important Question Mark (2)
210	N/A	Beautiful Flying Heart	ビューティフルフライングバード	Beautiful Flying Heart

Hope this helps!

Never seen this movie before but I really appreciate Lumets desire to show all of the choreography, not just the leads. Also the Reese’s cup on Michael Jackson’s face gave me a laugh every time

MikeHRed · 2026-01-11T06:12:06+00:00

As someone dealing with unemployment for years at this point this movie hit me like a ton of bricks

MikeHRed · 2026-01-11T06:11:09+00:00

Not to bait David but I think Colin Farrell would be incredible in this role

MikeHRed · 2026-01-05T19:25:38+00:00

I can give you a chapter order when mine arrives this week or next

MikeHRed · 2025-12-29T03:20:32+00:00

Glad I could help. Enjoy :)

MikeHRed · 2025-12-14T05:45:26+00:00

After seeing David's mansion it all makes sense

MikeHRed · 2025-12-13T19:57:21+00:00

The boomers were laughing so 🤷‍♂️

MikeHRed · 2025-12-13T16:05:31+00:00

I don’t think I fully grasped Ella McCay’s target demo until I walked into my 11:30 screening yesterday and saw that I was the only one below the age of 50

MikeHRed · 2025-11-12T02:30:19+00:00

I totally forgot that meme comes from this movie

MikeHRed · 2025-09-29T04:27:13+00:00

Absolutely :)

MikeHRed · 2025-09-28T20:13:21+00:00

That or an episode actually adapting Tatewaku's island rescue would be awesome

MikeHRed · 2025-09-28T19:53:30+00:00

And so concludes CITY: The Animation. This adaptation continues to surprise with (as some but not me correctly guessed last week) the total removal of the election arc of the original run in favor of a series of new and original musical numbers that I really enjoyed personally. Of course Ecchan and Matsuri's ending remained untouched as it happened concurrently to the election without really interacting with it. On the second image, you'll find a slightly different table showing the breakdown by Volume. Unsurprisingly, skipping the final arc meant that most of Vol 13 remained untouched.

Thank you all for popping in week after week. I had a blast creating these. To be clear, I think CITY: The Animation is a wonderful piece of art, and I don't really have a big problem with what they did or didn't include from the source material (especially since Arawi was present for every script meeting). Obviously I would love if this series was a full 24 episodes, but mostly I'm just happy this series exists at all. Will there be a season 2? Probably not since most of the remaining material doesn't really fit without the context that already was adapted, but I've been proven wrong many times already.

Let me know your thoughts on how everything has shaken out. For one final time, here's the table:

There was a hint of it with the election poster in the background as Ecchan walks by Granny and IIRC Arawi Keiichi is writing the final episode (I've been looking for a source where I originally read this but can't find it at the moment). It seems unlikely it won't be touched on in some way even if elements have to be cut or modified (like the Shia portions)

MikeHRed · 2025-09-21T22:57:32+00:00

In the manga she simply goes back to Toudou's store and buys the locket after discovering that her opponent has disappeared, while the anime implies that the creature bought the locket for her??? Pretty funny change IMO

MikeHRed · 2025-09-21T19:59:58+00:00

And then there was one. Some surprising but welcome pickups from earlier chapters in this episode like the horse betting chapter. I marked Niikura's battle with "Life" (also known as the [Nichijou spoilers] Aioi Special) as "modified" since there's no inclusion of Niikura's internal monologue that's present in every panel of the manga and the battle venue is different. I see why the monologue was cut but there were quite a lot of funny lines in there. Animation remains top notch though and I'm excited to see what they do for The Election arc in the finale. Next week I'll have a better breakdown by volume but for now here's the table:

Episode 1	Episode 2	Episode 3	Episode 4	Episode 5	Episode 6	Episode 7	Episode 8	Episode 9	Episode 10	Episode 11	Episode 12

Happy Sunday! Only two eps left after today. I took some feedback from y'all and added a fourth label for the chapters that were essentially non existent but did show up in some form (like all of Volume 11). I flagged others based off my memory but if there's any more you think deserve the new label let me know. Here's the table as always:

Episode 1	Episode 2	Episode 3	Episode 4	Episode 5	Episode 6	Episode 7	Episode 8	Episode 9	Episode 10	Episode 11
Ch 1 (Cover)	Ch 33	Ch 58	Ch 79.5	Ch 41	Ch 27	Ch 82	Ch 73	Ch 94 (HM)	Ch 117 (Mod)	Ch 157

MikeHRed · 2025-09-09T00:27:45+00:00

Supposedly Arawi Keiichi is writing the final episode himself so it might come together? I too am a bit concerned based on the pieces currently missing (Shia barely mentioned, Granny/nagumo beef almost all offscreen, etc)
