Season 2 of Uma Musume far surpasses season 1 in my eyes. Season 1 following pretty much only Special Week and her overcoming every challenge is what I expect of a sports anime. Season 2 with its multitude of interesting characters put in the spotlight had me hooked from the start and in tears at the end. I didn't know what to expect, perhaps Special Week's road to becoming the best horse girl in the world, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the main character and rival had been changed to Teio and McQueen, a relationship developed in a much more interesting way than
...
Special Week and Silence Suzuka, though after researching the irl racehorses behind the two girls, I respect the decision to have Suzuka be someone Special Week very much looks up to, what with being Special Week's dam irl.
I loved the Rice Shower mini arc, and Teio & McQueen's problems they run into throughout the season. S2 feels way more realistic than S1 because of this and I think it made me fall in love with the characters even more, seeing them trying to overcome real struggles.
The last episode made me cry and getting that emotional over anime horsegirl racing is something I thought I'd never do, especially since I don't watch any kind of racing or sports irl and have never been into the sports anime genre either.
I am so excited for season 3 and if the game gets an English version I'll be on that 24/7 lol. Truly an astounding anime, especially for a gacha game.
