If you are watching this it is because at least you saw Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (TV) and you liked one or two girls, if not, I suggest you first watch the anime which is a 10/10, one of my favorites really.
Umayon is a program that shows us animated shorts with an average duration of 3 minutes, where we can see once again the horse girls that are so characteristic of this anime, but this time... in a chibi version! Which makes them quite fun to watch throughout the show.
In general, for each chapter they choose some girls to be the protagonists of the day,
...
where we can observe them doing multiple activities of all kinds, but they always present us as a competition or at least alluding to the races, since after all that is the essence of Uma Musume.
How it is clear that this is animated shorts with chibi version characters, the animation has to be simple, but not bad, since in reality, taking into account the purpose of these shorts, not too much is required in this regard. Either way, they did pretty well.
Regarding the sound section, despite being simply animated shorts, it is quite well done and it is that they did not leave aside that in addition to being competitors they are idols and therefore in the ending songs we could observe the girls singing and dancing, or just singing, but accompanied by a background illustration.
Finally, the enjoyment of this program is quite good, for almost anyone, since these animated shorts are funny and remind us of the essence of both the program and the characters, which by the way are many and that surely we all longed to return to see. And how can you guess, because of the above, this show qualifies in its entirety to be a 10/10 for animated shorts with chibi version characters.
By the way, after the broadcast of these shorts had ended, the second season of the anime was announced... Excellent news!
Thank you for reading my review and feel free to leave a comment on my profile if you want to mention any aspect of it or talk about something else.
Have a happy day.

This second season of War of Underworld is hideous, mediocre and meaningless in many ways, so they tried to hide it through excellent animation and a fairly acceptable sound, but without needing to be a detail person or pay much attention to the history alone, you will notice all the inconsistencies here.
In terms of history, development and characters, the war continues in Underworld, only now dozens of characters have entered that do not contribute absolutely anything since their only function is to be exaggeratedly dramatic and show the viewer gore scenes that are absolutely unnecessary. Oh, I almost forgot the true role of these characters
...
... Saying "Kirito help me / save me" throughout the show just to make Kirito look like some kind of hero, when they are fully capable of defending themselves, leaving aside some of them have accounts of administrator or just a very high level and useful skills.
In the case of the "terrorists" they are really nothing special, apart from being extremely strong and ignoring all logic of the game, they do not contribute anything to the story or development despite being the main enemy.
Also, how was to be expected throughout these 11 chapters there is an apparent nonsense situation at all times, for example, a robot with a soul inside ran out of fuel and magically, because his loved one encouraged him, it works again or when Shino is saved by an object she had and was supposedly Kirito, who was more than still and without "life" in a wheelchair.
As I mentioned at the beginning, they try to hide all of the above with an animation that is worthy of applause, in the same way with the music and sound, but unfortunately this aspect also has its problems or small aspects to improve. In terms of character design, they are all very "flat" and the colors are the same in all their clothes or face, there is no evidence of any change in the tones, which is strange when compared with that fluid and detailed animation, but Of course, this one also has one thing or another to improve and that is that despite looking so good they exaggerate it too much and I would not be surprised if someone had an epileptic attack when they saw so many colors and lights that are left over, but how I mentioned they did it like that to try to make the viewer not notice the rest of the details that make SAO such an illogical work in many respects. And as for the setting, as expected as well as the characters, it is exaggeratedly simple.
In terms of sound, I consider that it is the only one that almost does not present problems since in battles they present us with something pleasant to listen to and that goes according to the situation and both the opening and ending themes are good.
Finally, let's talk about the enjoyment of this program, although there are scenes or events that are meaningless and overlook the limits of the Underworld itself, I believe that this program can only be enjoyed if we ignore the story and the characters, it is I mean, spend a few hours of your life to see a somewhat exceptional animation and sound, but nothing more, just that, do not demand a good story or anything similar, because you will be more than disappointed.
Although being realistic, I think it has been one of the "best" seasons of Sword Art Online to be so immersed in another world and show us another universe with more characters and stories, which personally are better than the real world.
Oh well, here my review ends, I hope you have enjoyed your reading and learned a thing or two about this program and in the same way, you have decided to watch it or not.
Have a nice day.

This is a review based on the first 4 chapters. It is worth mentioning that I have not read the manhwa of this anime.
I hope it helps you to understand all the points of this anime and be encouraged to see it.
Remember, all anime / manga can be enjoyed without problems, do not get carried away by bad comments and in case of comparing with another work that is not in order to devalue a job.
Story / Plot: 8/10
At first glance, history is not the most innovative, but it does not mean that great things cannot be achieved. A tournament full of arts and fighting
...
styles of all kinds, where the winner will have whatever wishes they have. The goal of the tournament is to find the best fighter in all of Korea.
The tournament is sponsored by a mysterious organization and full of strong people, surely more groups will appear
At the moment little else can be said, it is clear that the story will be complicated and will have more aggregates, but for the moment it can be summarized by saying, in this world there are unusual things and people with superhuman abilities.
Characters / Personalities: 8/10
The protagonist, Jin, Mo-Ri, is the typical student with a very happy character and who conveys that. He is a very strong person who enjoys fighting against others and at all times is looking for someone powerful to face, yes, how Goku. Regarding his past, we know that he was very close to his grandfather and was a person with few friends.
Han Dae-Wi is a calm and confident looking boy. As can be seen in fights, it has enormous strength and resistance and uses it to fight, its main attacks being simple fists, but with a lot of power. Not much is known about him from his past, we only know that he participates in the tournament to get money and help a close friend who is hospitalized.
Yu Mi-Ra, the waifu from the anime, is a nice and strong girl, who participates in the tournament with the aim of reviving her dojo. As with other people, not much is known about her past, only that her sword is the only thing she has left to remember her father.
Animation / Setting: 10/10
The studio in charge of bringing us this anime is MAPPA, which we all know in installments like: Kakegurui, Dorohedoro and soon for Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season.
The anime is set in a modern and impeccable city, in which the technology is a little more advanced than the current one, at least in medical terms, what it looks like to heal the protagonist's broken neck in a matter of seconds using "nanomachines", which are found in the bodies of each participant.
The animation stays well at all times, from when the protagonist walks to the moment when he confronts someone. Sometimes it seems that they ignore the laws of physics, it can be seen when they perform certain movements where, being in the air they move a lot from their initial position, but this is understandable when remembering that superhuman movements are possible in this world.
The physical appearance and clothing of the characters is quite good and is not very far from reality, most characters dress in typical clothing, although in some cases it is observed that certain people dress according to their fighting style.
There are also funny details like how most characters, if not all, have red nose tips and even ear tips, which is quite funny, but after all you get used to it. After all, it's not a big deal, but it can serve as a way to recognize anime.
Sound: 10/10
This section stands out a lot in this anime since it has a more than acceptable performance and brings with it two magnificent songs.
The opening theme, "Contradiction," is mostly electronic, quite catchy, and blends in perfectly with the anime, as stated in a nutshell it's chilling and entertaining enough to keep you in your seat and not ignore it. It is also important to mention that it is very well done, for example, when it reaches the climax it feels "explosive" which combines with the theme of fighting in the anime.
In the same way, the ending theme is mainly electronic, contrary to the opening theme, this at all times remains "constant" and "calm", it serves to appease after almost being absorbed by your seat and how excited the chapter was, But it does not make you lose that emotion, it makes you have your feet on the ground and your body relaxed, it creates an atmosphere of satisfaction and tranquility.
In terms of setting in all types of scene, the sounds and / or music are according to the situation, it is a perfect way to make you get even more into the story and share what the characters feel. Likewise, in the fight scenes the music used and the expected sounds are adequate. It is worth mentioning that they adequately handle momentary ups and downs of tones at specific times.
Enjoy: 10/10
This anime is undoubtedly a show that anyone can see without needing to be a lover of anime or a specific genre. Age doesn't matter either.
It may be your first or 156 anime seen but you will surely entertain yourself and give it a good score. As I mentioned earlier in the different sections of the anime, it does not disappoint in any, it is quite complete and has a lot of quality in between.
The anime so far is not exceeded in any sense and / or aspect so you should not fear that it deviates from its main plot or there is much inappropriate content, in every sense. There is almost no presence of NSFW content intended to "wake up" the public, or gore or something similar in battles. So far only bruises or light bleeding are seen, which is consistent with the confrontations and blows received by the participants, we must remember that their resistance is superhuman and that means receiving blows strong enough to break walls as if nothing.
Seeing this anime I assure you epic moments, fluid and detailed animation, perfect sound at all times and a story and characters that will progress and will result in a more complex story and characters with a lot of background.
Thanks for using some minutes of your busy day and reading my review, I hope you liked it and cheer you up to watch the anime.
If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to write me, I will respond after an hour or so.
Have a nice day

At the time of this review, 79 chapters have been published. It is worth mentioning that it is free of spoilers that prevent you from enjoying the plot properly.
Remember, all anime / manga can be enjoyed without problems, do not get carried away by bad comments and in case of comparing with another work that is with the intention of making a constructive criticism, not to devalue a work.
Story / Plot: 8/10
Abyss Rage is a very interesting manga in every aspect, it tells the story of a blind boy who wants to recover his beloved who was kidnapped by a strange and extremely strong person.
The
...
story takes place mainly in a prison, the strongest and / or most dangerous "criminals" are taken there, although as has been seen, there are some people who are not criminals or that there was a misunderstanding and they ended up there.
As the story progresses we are introduced to new characters of all kinds, each with their own story and reason for being in prison. From there it is shown how the protagonist advances and gains reputation, makes new friends and even alliances.
The most striking aspect of the manga is the fights, there are all kinds of confrontations, this is due to the variety of people inside the prison, the main thing that we see within the fights are Japanese fighting styles, each with different foundations.
Characters / Personalities: 7/10
Shinobu: The protagonist is the most interesting in the story, since he is blind, but that does not prevent him from defending himself and easily defeating ordinary people. He uses different methods to move and arrest blows and even to know their position.
It is also important to mention that he is a good person at all times, he refuses to kill his opponents, he also easily sympathizes with others, he does not want to harm anyone, he just wants to get his beloved back and beat the Chief.
Chief: He is the main antagonist of this story and he has a very strange personality as well as his appearance, he is a very big person with a trained body, he is bald and he has a huge scar on his face. He also reveals that he is attracted to men, especially if they are strong and he is looking for someone who will give him a good fight to the point of defeating him.
He is a person with a mistaken idea of love and who enjoys torturing his rivals. His past is nothing interesting and his reason for being gay is even more ridiculous, since he makes it seem like something you traumatized when in reality he had a peaceful life with everything within his reach, but it seems strange to him the meaning of love leaves everything behind and He goes to war, where he is taken prisoner and raped by someone stronger than him, to which he thinks that is true love, the delegation.
Mikoto: She is the beloved of Shinobu which does not currently have much prominence and is only seen from time to time accompanying the Chief or in Shinobu flash backs. She grew up with Shinobu and was very fond of him, they both specialize in the same fighting style and always practiced together.
She is a very strong girl and with an unbreakable spirit, just like Shinobu she is a good person and they have the same goal.
Sasaki: who was originally Shinobu's enemy, ended up as his friend and is his right hand man. He is a cowardly, honest person and he is not very strong in reality, but his development is very good, from a certain point we can observe him venturing through the prison and fighting multiple enemies, to the point that Shinobu entrusts him with missions. Finally, this character has gained more self-confidence which makes him a more trustworthy person.
Throughout history we are presented with more people, most with a similar past but not for that reason insignificant or useless for the plot. The usefulness of these characters is mostly to make Shinobu stronger, both individually and in groups and mentally.
Art / Setting: 7/10
The style of this manga is quite curious, for example, the characters usually have the same height and their physical complexion is similar, all being "rectangular", although having variations, but retaining the base shape.
Most characters do not have much detail in their bodies / faces, but if they are well defined and at the time of the fights, no deformations are observed.
The setting in general is quite simple since most scenes are inside a prison where the walls are usually smooth, but sometimes have marks or blood. Outside the prison the setting is quite good and has a lot of detail and looks impeccable.
Little else can be mentioned in this section, since in reality there is no single aspect that stands out enormously or has an extremely good quality, but I can say for sure that, despite this, the art is appropriate and does not disappoint.
Enjoy: 9/10
In general this manga is quite entertaining mainly because of the plot since it is not something common like the main characters, but I mentioned earlier, despite the fact that no aspect especially stands out, this does not affect the enjoyment of its story and you can have a nice while reading this manga.
Having said that, the review ends here, thank you very much for taking the time to read it and I hope it was useful for you to decide on whether or not to read this manga.
If you have any comment, suggestion, or claim about any criteria, you can do it in my profile, I will respond in less than 1 hour. I very much appreciate any comments about it
Have a happy day.
