Ruan Mei did it FOR SCIENCE

Just imagine having to clean up all that shed fur...

The neat freak in me is crying at all that for on the carpet :sob:

Freckles Nun: "I exist! Also in the past!"

Bunny Nun, stop being the stool pigeon in the past.

Grumpy Nun: "I am on top!"
Smug Nun: "I don't like that!"
Grumpy Nun: "But the fans do."

Saitou Shinji was fired after being revealed as a scumbag rapist. And this after being involved in a major scandal last year for cheating on his wife, a scandal that he just barely recovered from.

Yeah... all the Umamusume posts featuring him with Jungle Pocket or Shima are now Harsher in Hindsight. Same goes for his appearance in the Umamusume: Beginning of a New Era animated film.

(Okay, alleged rapist. He pretty much admitted to the allegations though. But think his defense is now running with the idea that it was consented or something. At least that's what his wife insinuates. Ironically his wife that he cheated on is now running damage control for him on social media. Either way, still a scumbag.)

I'm honestly low key concerned that Beginning of a New Era would be given the Phantom Blood treatment and become lost media thanks to the scandal... Especially the theatrical cut which I'm sure would get edited out.
Complete with an entry in LMW a few years from now, as well as detailed video essays about how BoNE became lost media by the likes of blameitonjorge, ShaiiValley, Sakura Stardust, or THEつぶろ in Japan to boot.

I edited the wiki page earlier to touch on its availability, but to further elaborate: there's a 2007 movie adaptation of Phantom Blood which was far less well received than the David Production version from a few years later. As if that wasn't bad enough, the OVA version of the Stardust Crusaders landed in a controversy of its own involving the Quran that led to the OVA being pulled from circulation, dragging that movie down in to Lost Media status as it never was given a home media release.

I knew about the OVA but there was a movie?!?! Now i got to find it.

Good luck since the Phantom Blood movie is one of the the most coveted lost media out there that Shueisha likely locked up in their vaults till the end of time. Only bits of it surfaced but not the full movie.

why was that a thing again? the Breeder Farm?

Nah, it's because of the promo art for the in-game March 2022 Satsuki Sho Legend Race event (twitter #1499218035919314944).

IIRC I don't think either of the Naritas stood stud at Shadai SS (where Tachyon, Cafe, and Top Road stood)

apparently it was the Legend Race from 22... so I'm clearly out of the loop :DogeKek:

Few months off from me starting the game so I'm in the same loop as you ;)

Please wait warmly

In both appearance and personality, you'd really think that Merry and Renko would switch positions to Yuu and Chii respectively.

Feel like Vodka and Pearl might feel sympathy with two of these girls

Stepmoms: Air Groove and Ramonu.

Cannibalism...!

It's just... So peak

No wonder they call her/him "The Red Demon"

Now this is a normal and precious Navia fanart

Thank goodness they don't realistically depict this real-world aspect amongst the horse girls in the anime... ;_;

Yeah, I'm glad the worst we get is them getting injured and such, as long as it's not anything life-threatening.

it doesn't mean it doesn't hit like a truck when we get to that point though... e.g. Sprinter Stakes with K.S.Miracle

aside from that... May Doto-san live long.

I think the saddest part here is that the right half didn't even make it past the 2000s, let alone the Reiwa era or 2021 when Umamusume the game released.

A Type 9 HATM is not a real ATGM, it's probably made up for the image. Removed the tag, anti-tank missile should be enough.

Looking it up, while this specific weapon is likely fictional, the Hypervelocity Anti-Tank Missile was a real anti-tank missile development program developing and serving as a test platform for the US Army's Compact Kinetic Energy Missile program. Raytheon had a test launch in 2002, and the test vehicle was 6 inch in diameter and 50 inches long, which apparently made it promising to be compatible with existing TOW tube launch systems.

If you're talking about the LOSAT I'm aware of it, but the naming scheme in the commentary is more suggestive of the ATGM series in service with the Japanese army (87式対戦車誘導弾 Type 87 Chū-MAT, 79式対舟艇対戦車誘導弾 Type 79 Jyu-MAT, 64式対戦車誘導弾 Type 64 MAT).

Don't think that is the same thing, as this uses the term HATM and was a development program from 1996 to 2002 by Raytheon, Alliant Tech Systems, and NAMMO to develop a lightweight, compact, potentially low-cost missile that could reach speeds in excess of Mach 6.5 to defeat line-of-sight targets.
