How did Umamusume get so popular with normalfags?

No idea. Nothing at all has happened recently.

Goldship is the only attractive girl in that shitty franchise

Goldship is absolute cancer.

Western normies saw wacky horse and immediately interpreted her to be the weeb Deadpool. The rest is memery

>>280446927 (OP)
>le epib meme horse has become popular

The show is good I've been watching it for years. Them lining up Cinderella with the EN release caused a huge surge in people.

I wish Gol Shi would rape me during her estrus.

>>280446927 (OP)
japanese love horse races, and this one got hot girls as horses. it just works.

>>280446927 (OP)
same with genshit impact, tons of cute girls and braindead gacha shit.

>>280447228
Not even close

Uma Musume
>roguelike career with a well written story attached you play 1-2 hours at a time in
>gacha characters(just roll for your waifu all horses can win)
>gacha loot(use other peoples instead for the same bonuses

There's no violence or anything that would make zoomers feel unsafe.

not inherently wrong i guess, she attracts normalfags like moths to a flame. she's the main reason they even like the game. le wacky meme girl with big boobs? it's not really shocking that she's the most popular among normalfags

>limited by stamina to playing 15-30m at a time
You could play 200 hours of straight story if you wanted

>>280447805
Both are utter garbage, I tried both and Genshin is shit because the pacing sucks, the characters are hideous and the gameplay is nothing special while in Uma Musume, there's barely any gameplay, the little gameplay it has is full of rng garbage, the story about the real horses is better and after you win the story mode with your favourite horse there's nothing more to do, both of them are utter garbage, gachaniggers are the worst kind of moron to ever exist.

>>280446927 (OP)
i dont understand it myself, i got bored extremely fast, its amusing to watch anime girls act like horses on a racetrack, but i don't get it.

Cygames anime originals however, thats some kino. I don't care what they gotta do to make dem kinos, just keep them coming.

>>280447060
goldship is the literal only horse normies even care about cause she's wacky coocoo

>>280448529
>its amusing to watch anime girls act like horses on a racetrack, but i don't get it.
What did you watch exactly because hotel apocalypse is not better than pd s2 or cinderella gray, not even close

>>280448529
The anime is pretty good tho, the second season being the best one but it suddenly exploded in popularity with the shitty gacha which is hilarious considering how bad it is, normalfags are really just cattle.

>>280448123
sponsors pay big bucks to force them to smile and have fun with their game for a few weeks

>>280446927 (OP)
you retards sounds like western Monster Hunter fags before World hit the west, Uma Musume is literally all over the Japan, what makes you think it wouldn't happen in the west

Good for you, you are just a gambler with mental problems.

is kind of awesome how the anime did not mind giving the horse girls those huge bellies. Very funny and a lil disgusting.

>>280448587
i meant their other ones. Apocalypse hotel, and this new one has a somewhat different premise.

>>280448635
I played for a day and understood the gamplay pretty well, I beat the ura finale with 4 horses on 1 day and got a lvl3 power uma and a lvl3 speed uma, that doesn't make the "game" any better, it's dogshit made for absolute brain rotten neets.

Why does gacha make normies seethe? What's the matter little niggers you scared you might have fun? No self control can't be a f2p chad like me? Embarrassing work.

>>280448743
>normies
Lmao, you are retarded and new, gacha shit is super popular amongst normalfags since 2020 and obv they ruined it like they do with everything.

>>280446927 (OP)
You just posted the reason why

>>280446927 (OP)
Enough normalfags ironically jumped onto the bandwagon that people didn't need to pretend to be interested in it and the franchise is engaging enough that people do like it once they get past the "human girls doing horse races" filter.

>>280448812
>Imagine playing crap like that
Not really a criticism

>>280448800
>I work 10 hours a day
No wonder you like this pile of shit, 3rd worlders shouldn't have access to the internet and no I just lurked a bit on /vg/ to know about the stats since the shitty game doesn't specify anything about them.

>>280448595
Moe anthropomorphism is stupid. They should've just had anime girls be the horse riders.

I hear the actual seasons are filled with drama and injuries so I'm not to motivated to watch them. I only like the hype and inspirational parts.

>>280448812

It's really not. I know 0 people irl who play gacha and work a very social very normie job. Your brain is rotted from too much internet time that you can't separate what you see online from reality.

japan's horse racing is serious business; the only reason the famicom network service thrived in japan was cause of horse racing. so much so, they pushed for gambling in the us using it. but got rejected, thus ending all hopes of expanding the service beyond japan. even nintendo's satellaview service had tons of horse racing software released.

They're based on real racing seasons, so the behind scenes drama is carried over for legitimacy.

You roll for the character you like and put the rest into support cards. It has cygames standard pity where you roll x times and pick a character on banner. Unused sparks converted into semiuseful currency. If you're not trying to be top 100pvp then it's fine. If you're a masochist then like all cygames it's p2w

>>280449009
I noticed, I made sure to avoid looking up the real horses to avoid spoilers.

>>280449356
I accept your concession. I know it's hard being a broke third worlder, if you beg ill toss you a gift off your wishlist.

>>280449077
He still has a negative opinion of gacha, and he shits on the cute girl aesthetic every chance he gets, he hates any media that's not jewish. The career mode is just really fun though, at least for now, and he's on a streamer client so gets decent rolls without swiping.

>>280449389
Dunno why are jeets like you so obsessed with projection, I don't care about you or your shithole, just don't come here and shit the place, now go to sleep your 10h work shift awaits you tomorrow, you must be exhausted of serving literal diarrhea food.

>Every gacha slave says his game is the one that's different.
FGO fags will never say that. Infact we go out of our way to say our game is shit and its on you if you fucking waste money on shit rates.

>>280449478
>1% ssr drop rate
I'm not spending all day rerolling, fuck that

>>280448396
>can't deny it, hurr durrr your stupid xD

>>280449629
ACKSHULLY it is even worse. It is more like .8%. The game is piss easy and SSR are not needed 99% of the time (someone went through the game using low rarity/free shit to prove a point) but I will not defend the shit rates.

>>280449478
I will
FGO is literally the only gachashit with an actual story because is managed and written and directed by an actual VN writer(aside from maeda destroying his twitter)
Every single gacha is putrid garbage when it comes to everything, but at least FGO has the story part that actually makes it stand apart from the sea of garbage

>>280449846
.8% isn't even that bad these days when you have games releasing in 2025 with .3%, it's just the humongous pity that holds it back.

>>280450216
There's plenty of gacha games that have had their stories written by actual writers FGO isn't particularly special in that regard

>>280450249
Theres even worse? Jesus christ.

Id tell people to just read a script if they insist on reading it. Ive been a typemoon fag for 2 decades now which is why i tolerate this shit.

>people talking about the game here rather than the amazing anime
I hate it, four seasons of anime, four episode OVA series and the movie are fucking amazing but most of /a/ is STILL sleeping on them.
Somehow this massive anime didn't break through in /a/ which is mental to me.

>>280448396
Why would you willingly play gacha shit. You people are straight up brainwashed. You always have one favorite gacha and act like it's the greatest thing ever while everything else is trash.
They are all gacha with basicly no gamepay or braindead gameplay.
I have never seen a fanbase of a genre this insecure.

>>280446927 (OP)
Game is unironically good and great for streamers. It exploded in Japan the same way back in the day.

>>280448743
>fun
No such thing with gacha games. It's just gambling with anime characters and shit gameplay. No amont of stupid arguments or mental gymnastics is going to change that.
It's funny how this board shits on videogames, but they acts like gacha games are a gods gift.

>>280446927 (OP)
It recently got an english release and steam release and they are also now sponsoring a bunch of big streamers.
Aka it's the new big trendy gacha game that westerners will jump on for the next few weeks/months.

Gacha haters are hilarious.

>>280450541
The "people" talking about the game are retarded thirdworlders who just want to cry about gacha. They don't play the game nor did they watch the anime they just came here to farm (YOU)s.

Personally I wish cygames had done in house animation from season1. The most recent seasons have been off the charts with style that finally lives up to the hype of the drama built. Season 1 has really good drama and story pacing but the running is just so bad by comparison. Movie is probably my favorite (how original I know) but damn Agnes was insanely well done the portrayal of PTSD and regret were so well done. The shows take the games story and amp it up to 10. Also why did T.M Opera O have like 5 minutes of screentime in new beginnings but dropped some crazy hard lines. Wait till all the Uma newfags catch up she's gonna explode in popularity.

>>280450541
Both are good.

>>280450216
LB 6 was the last time I cared about FGO story. Also almost all the VN writers moved to gacha which is one of the reasons why visual novels are dying.

>>280451283
I keep seeing this narritive sent around about VNs dying because gacha is stealing their writers. Is there more examples besides Nasu or what?

>>280451433
Literally everything.

>>280449030

>>280451433
>I keep seeing this narritive sent around about VNs dying because gacha is stealing their writers. Is there more examples besides Nasu or what?
A lot of gacha basically ARE visual novels, occasionally interrupted by gameplay.
The genre wasn't popular just because it was a hybrid between manga and anime, it was popular because story choices had consequences.
That type of storytelling just made it's way into all sorts of mobile games, not just gacha

>>280452157
Gacha games have ruined writing

>>280452003
Exact issue with all you retards. Same argument everytime. If it's tedious I don't do it. I only play games for fun same as any of my hobbies or recreational activities. Meanwhile you're so buckbroken you can only imagine doing something out of obligation. Who's the real slave here?

>>280452419
Gacha is just work lite for NEETs

>>280452419
You're seething because deep down you know I'm right.

>>280452288
Probably deep impact, who was essentially japans Secretariat.
but honestly, it's hard for any of them to compare to Secretariat.

>>280452578
>but honestly, it's hard for any of them to compare to Secretariat.
You say that because they weren't as good compared to Secretariat or because the races were different.

Post some lewd horses.

>>280452736
bit of both
Secretariat hit speeds no one has broken decades later.
But also, races are about the horse, the track, and the competition, which is all quite different between the two locations and eras.

>>280452796
ANON NOOO-

>>280452393
>it was popular because story choices had consequences
No, it wasn't. The most popular ones were almost completely linear once you got onto a route.

>>280453011
Game over is still a consequence

>>280452887
It's pretty insane that it's been 50 years and no one's managed to beat Secretariat's times.

I love Uma Musume with HUGE TUMMIES

ITS TIME

>>280452393
I have played a mobile game that was basically a light novel that had gameplay in between story modes
Reminder that Umamusume started with a mobile game gacha planned to release alongside it though

>>280446927 (OP)
MAMBO!
And many other memes

>>280449077
He's far from the only popular streamer that has decided to play it(unsponsored - this part is kinda important in way)/
There are some more popular streamers messing around with it.
It's almost like a mini-meta at the moment. Nothing too crazy, but notable.
Also, in my NA Google Play ranking lists the game shows up pretty high, which also probably helps a lot for discovery.
>>280447805
Genshin really didn't do it for me, but I don't think that's a fair representation of it at all.
It's an easy game where you absolutely don't need to spend a dollar to beat the 'hard' content'.
They may have recently added something actually hard in the last update or something, but for the 5 years the game has been out it's not been like that at all. To the point where a lot of the reason the game sucked is because there was no 'harder content'.
Blowing through your daily stamina doesn't limit the amount of time you can spend on the game at all. If anything, another big issue with genshin was that it took too long and boring to do dailies and get rid of stamina. It would have been better if it literally took 5 minutes so you could go do whatever you actually enjoyed doing in the game(story, quests, exploration, the 'not-so-hard' content, events etc etc etc)
I gave it a fair shot for a while and it had some good points but in the end I didn't like it. But not for those reasons. And I don't think I'm alone in that sense.

>>280450216
I know I'm gonna sound like the
>muh gacha is different

While there are surely lots of NEETs who play, the whole business model is based around catering to those who have jobs/money to stay engaged with a game and community by spending money.
The primary draw of them is the hype and experience you get relative to the lesser amount of time you'd spend in other games(like trad mmos and such).
The fact that you can always buy your way out of anything and stay engaged if you wish, or just not do it...is why there's no obligation.
They found a way to give people the experience of being an engaged sweaty gamer without actually having to do the work(because their business model depends on people who work).
It was very clever of the companies to realize that and capitalize on it.

>>280448661
More like a lil funny and very hot.

It's basically idols and horse racing combined. The gameplay loop is exactly the same as that of gakuen idolmaster. Not really a surprise at why it's popular in Japan anyways, they love gambling and idols.

I hate that goldship has to be the one everybody likes.
She's my favorite and this isn't fair. They just think she's le heckin quirky, I love her appearance, especially her more androgynous look in the anime and her seiyuu.

>>280446927 (OP)
It's human instinct to want to fuck a horse. Most people just try really hard to suppress it.

>>280446927 (OP)
It's the most safe jap game out there with the porn ban and all kinda like genshin but the story is better from what I heard and also appeals to sports fans kinda like blue lock.

>>280451433
Gacha basically hoards writters, artists and audience that would previously be on VNs, you can also overlap the rise of gacha with the mass dying of VN developers, I personally don't consider VNs dying a bad thing since gacha has proven to be better at story telling.

This franchise is going to cause serious problem when they inevitably have a horse girl based on a still-competing real life horse, and said horse gets shot in the head because it sprained it't ankle or whatever and sold for glue, and the whatever association that handles horse racing in Japan is suddenly getting death threats from neets because you just murdered their waifu. Sure they have uma's based on already dead horses, but something that happened in the abstract past is different than reading a headline that says "Your Waifu was thrown into the glue machine today".

Visual novels are dying very fast, jp sales for the medium are down almost 300% for 95% of eroge, as stated by sca-di himself. Nasu moved on to gacha and tsukihime remake is a side project. maeda basically just works on hbr now and key wants to make more gacha slop, alicesoft literally had an exodus and now the entire crew is all freelancers working for stageplays and guess what gacha. Nitro+ is now trying to get into real games with "dolls nest" and their eroge output has declined more and more each year, Aquaplus literally doesnt make visual novels anymore outside of remakes, leaf doesn't exist and was absorbed into aquaplus, keroq/makura basically is a hobby doujin group at this point that cant even profit off of some of the best written eroge in a decade, GIGA might close down soon, purplesoft has stated they are haning on by a thread, smee is okay but smee makes moege, toneworks is okay but tonerworks makes moege, yuzusoft is okay but yuzusoft makes moege, frontwing is basically carried by aniplex exe funding and without grisaia and them they would of went bankrupt, pulltops spams rereleases and they are in the red still, literally haven't made a new work in a while, sprite? LOL sprite did okay with koichoco then they made aokona and printed money then the writer tried making yuri and literally bankrupted the company only for them to get bailed out and now they literally just rerelease aokana physical editions and drama cd's outside of aokana extra, denpa as a genre is so unprofitable it basically doesnt exist in the modern day outside of indie devs. Age spams muv luv shit and they cant branch out because the ceo fears they'll go bankrupt due to the gacha failing too. 07th expansion just shut down their gacha and now have nothing on the horizon because ryukishi cant finish ciconia,; moral of the story if you wanna make a big budget eroge in 2025, it better be moege for a slim chance to break even or say goodbye to your company.

I dropped it the first time I played it, hated it, didn’t understand it at all. Picked it up again just a couple days later after seeing a couple streamers make some deep runs and had a much better time getting into the game from there. Been hooked ever since.

Yeah, they also eat it over there, but in general, horses are just fed to zoo animals, etc. Imagine how much it'd cost feeding a big cat or other zoo carnivore with perfectly good beef instead of just cheap leftover horse. The animal glue industry is niche now and they just utilize leftovers from other livestock industries, like pigs and cattle, or specific glues made from rabbits and fish.
It's specifically not done with famous horses though, due to backlash.

I want to get her in the Umagacha since she's cute. Though I probably won't, seeing as I'm saving. Hopefully I'll only need a couple ten-rolls to luckshit one copy of the Kitasan Support to save for universal uncaps and then I'll wait to dump everything and spark on Nishino Flower since I want her the most.

That almost did happen, iirc Liberty Island, a jp triple tiara winner, got euthanized a few months ago on the track but she was in a foreign country that did not bother to contact her owner and trainer so that they could stop this shit from happening. They couldn't even bring her body back to Japan so she could get a proper burial because of strict laws surrounding the transportation of dead bodies.
There was outrage about this.

I still don't understand the appeal of gacha to begin with
I could never see myself getting interested in a game whose genre is its monetization
I don't even mind monetization or anything, I don't dislike lootboxes they're quite smart game design even, I just don't understand how people can like a game that's completely centered around it and nothing else
Is this just a smartphone thing? People don't have the time/wish to actually get invested in a game so its easier to get invested in "dopamine hit for getting smth people are talking about, dopamine hit for making numbers go up, rinse and repeat"?

That's actually really rough. I used to read a VN per weekend when I was in my early 20s/late teens but I lost the attention span for them. I think the medium is really solid but all the money is in mobile games for doing the same thing they are now but with less effort so it makes sense unfortunately. Some gacha here and there have good stories or like in the case of GBF they have good event stories when Cygames is willing to pay for them, but I've not played any that are full on early-mid 2000s core VN writing

Great-to-decent production value, easily identifiable characters, relatable development arcs, and being a topic everyone has heard about but don't really interact with (horse racing).

Most of the characters we actually have any interaction with are also genuinely likeable.

There's also zero "anime type" fanservice, which normalfags actually notice and care about.

>>280487751
And it wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t combined with a shitty gacha system that makes you gamble for the training support cards you actually need to make competitive horses. The rates are terrible, the pity system is weak, and without proper support cards, you’re basically stuck watching your horses underperform no matter how much effort you put into training them. It’s like the game actively punishes you for trying to engage with its deeper mechanics unless you’re willing to whale or grind for months just to get a halfway decent setup.

>>280450671
>You always have one favorite gacha and act like it's the greatest thing ever while everything else is trash
There are people like that, but it's a bias that you're going to come across the worst cases of sunk cost fallacy players since they can be the loudest.
People love to hop game to game and check out new releases. The games tend to have peaks and valleys of fun/content, so there are tons of people who just play whatever happens to be fun. Or take breaks from gacha for a while.
Gacha does have some of the biggest and loudest retards though for sure. But it's also such a huge genre at this point that you have a wide range of player types as well.

>>280450723
You can delve deep into the psychology behind games and what makes them actually 'fun' and engaging.
But when you take off the veil it's all fairly shallow, gacha or not.
Gacha games tend to be good at packaging the 'fun' part of games in to a easily accessible and casual format that attracts a lot of people.
That along with active communities, and characters that need to attract people or the game dies make them good candidates for people who enjoy anime-styled shit to have something to do that doesn't take too much time away from other parts of their life.
They're not god's gift or anything, but the companies behind them tend to be smart about stripping away a lot of the bullshit and just going straight to the reward structure of people's brains. And when they do it half decently, they're extremely successful at it.

>>280446927 (OP)
Aren't horses very popular western media?
Hell, they still have the best horses in the Kentucky Derby

Have they put the GOAT in this game yet?

>>280451575
NTA, but this is true.
Still doesn't take away the fact that you can get entertaining games, characters, and communities for literally zero dollars in almost all cases with even the slightest amount of impulse control or effort.
People's lack of control is what lets all of this happen(that and massive wealth disparity where people can spend 1000x the average person and it has absolutely zero negative effect of their life). And it's a good thing for most people.
Those who have issues, have issues that need to be sorted out. But that's a separate subject really.

>>280488353
Mostly cowboy westerns. Other than that no not really. Sports wise PBR is the dominant horse based sport. Horse racing is more an once in a while thing despite there being many racetracks across the country. Horse racing is mostly connected to casinos and many people no longer gamble. Video games have more horses in them than tv and movies. Like Zelda, Red Dead, Skyrim, MGSV, and some others.

>>280450216
If you are looking for story and making assumptions about every Gacha other than FateGO is that not being biased? I mean literally those who like Umamusume watched the Anime Series with Pretty Derby up until the recent one, and played the game itself and can appreciate it's an extension of the Anime itself.

Also if you like Jun Maeda why have you not played Heaven Burns Red? It's very story driven, has characters with motivations etc.

>>280461326
All I can say is they see it as shovelware and wish for it to die so something better to exist. The conspiracy theorist in me believes they are trying to push everyone into Gacha as a market due to it making more money.

Personally the only way the VN Industry can survive is if they move into Gameplay/Story stuff. It's the only route out. But knowing everyone they are moving to Gacha.

Can agree, most people do not understand it, but when you read an immersive story with text, imagery across the screen and some good music, voice acting. It is very amazing.

We can send Haru urara food!

Supports don't matter unless you're doing pvp. You can coast off stats alone especially if you follow a whale or two.

What would we do without her?

You dont know shit about anything, mindbroken gacha gaslight shill

>>280446927 (OP)
Why does this horse look so different within the anime vs game?

>>280489982
What a scam.

>>280447060
So she's basically the parallel to Kancolle's Kongou?

>>280489805
The S1 cast is still the cutest

>>280446927 (OP)
Dunno but I'm glad the normalfags went there and Blue Archive is safe from them as result

>>280490211
I love this goof

The true star has yet to make her appearance.

>>280490308
Yeah you BAggots got indonesian pedophiles instead.

>>280490575
That's based.

>>280450216
VN writers are literally the most subhuman of all writers. Even gacha writers are a step above them

>>280461252
the only reason those moege companies are even surviving is because the chinese are obsessed with them. chinks are singlehandedly keeping yuzusoft alive

>>280446927 (OP)
Do the yakuza still hunt you down for lewding the horses?

>Uma Musume threads keep thriving on /v/
>Blue Archive threads are banned on sight there
what the fuck

>>280483623
Interesting. You can try Odysee, but cannot guarantee if the content will get flag though.

>>280490801
it's the only reasonable explanation for the lack of lewd art given the popularity of the IP

>>280490816
Based. Ban genchink as well please.

>>280490877
I expect the western side to start pumping out porn especially with the trend chasers who just see pretty anime girl to lewd

>>280490816
not hard to imagine why
what do you think all the nonces would post in BA threads?

>>280490934
>Lewding the character
>When the most popular character on the west at the moment is Gold Ship
I'd say expect more memes and shitposts instead, his autism is carrying like more than half of the western fanbase at this point.

I just like Bakushin

>>280490816
99% of BA is just posting fanart and making cunny jokes so yeah

>>280490816
It helps that the anime is one of the best sports animes of all time.

>>280461252
It might be a silly question to ask, but what about VNs that don't have ero or moe elements?

>>280447060
not true at all

zoomers found it. now its ruined. time to move on.

>>280491115
If you let other people ruin your love for horses, then you never loved them in the first place

>>280491183
what kind of fag argument is this? Are you a christian? I liked this but now I cannot enjoy it due to zoomers and normies ruining it. Just like everything else that these fuckheads touch becomes instant trash. sorry, I'm moving on now.

>>280491210
"Normies" breathe air too. You gonna stop breathing?

>>280491271
i don't breath.

>>280491210
lmao you'd like to believe that mindlessly rejecting trends makes you better than "normies" that mindlessly follow them, wouldn't you?
it makes no difference, in the end you're letting your what's popular determine your taste all the same
>sorry, I'm moving on now
nothing you should feel sorry about but yourself buddy

What kind of argument is it to give up enjoying something just because people you dislike happen to share the same interest? Old but immature.

>>280491210
Lmao

>>280491115
This started in 2018. It literally can't not be filled with zoomers.

umamusume, dragon ball, and ultraman are in the same spot (80% male 20% female). Here, that your answer.

>>280493827
Explains why I get the sense its fanbase doesn't shower or understand human emotions

>>280493846
Lol you're on 4chan. You're more pathetic than most of them by a large margin. Just admit their game crushed your gook made coomer trashy game and you're butthurt lmao

>>280446927 (OP)
Gatcha addiction, the global release was also not too long ago (1 month max). And horse betting was always a thing, and cute girls to it and it pretty much explains such a slow start.
tl;dr gatcha addiction and memes.

>280494141
>Gatcha
Retard can't even spell the word right but pretend to be an expert about that subject. Typical nu/a/.

>>280494218
Oh it's Gotcha alright. I prefer that spelling myself since it highlights the loathesome grasp it has on idiots and their wallets and their libidos. An entire army of zombified gooners whose brains have relocated to their groins are posting about liquefied gotcha trash all day long, spreading it far and wide like the clap at a high school prom. They lost their humanity ages ago so they don't see why people aren't enthused about predatory gacha with paper-thin plots and derivative designs.
You ever talk to some of these creatures? They think Blue Archive is on par with an actual media franchise like Gundam or Madoka.

>>280446927 (OP)
People yearn for the return of raising sims

>>280493827
>Yuru Camp almost exclusively watched by older men
Gets me every time

>>280494135
I don't play gotcha, I never will Bandori being the sole exception, I will continue to watch gotcha and vtumor niggertrash flood the media landscape from the safety of my fortress, which I have erected from Real and True Art for the soul (LotGH, Cowboy Bebop, Angel's Egg, Danmachi, Yuru Yuri, Sonny Boy, etc.) These are works that nourish the soul and lead you to a higher light. Gotcha extracts your money and then turns you into a gambling addict in denial, it spurs the death of the soul.

>>280493827
Should I feel embarrassed if there are actually plenty of franchises I enjoy leaning towards females in this graph?

>>280468258
People in /gfg/ and /gflex/ have just been whining about it and getting mad at their platoon mates for playing it or mentioning it.

>>280446927 (OP)
The gacha game is getting picked up by popular twitch streamers
I really hate normalfags

>>280494662
it's going to flop soon anyway, glorified accounting simulator can only be fun for like a week I reckon, so just be patient.

>>280487966
There aren’t any welfare trainer cards? Darn.

>>280446927 (OP)
it got popular because the streamer Northernlion played it and because he's every streamers favorite streamer they copied him and now its popular on twitch. This is combined with the popularity of the twitter meme of horse race test that became popular with normies and uma fans who infected the normies with horse girl shit.

at least that what happened to me I had no idea what this shit was beyoned horse girls that sing and race until I started following Horse Race Test

>No batch of Cinderella Gray's first cour yet
Its so over Ogurinbros...

>>280446927 (OP)
Modern world sucks even for normalfags so normalfags are getting into weeb hobbies now

I like how nobody gives a shit about Arknights anime while this thing is still soaring without doing anything noteworthy

Why do they run in idol outfits
It looks extremely uncomfortable

>>280496598
People like horses
People like sports
There's little to understand

If you have to ask for the obvious that makes you a subnormie, you can't race, you can't sing, you clearly can't glue two simple clues together.

Why are all of them runhorses?
Where are the draught horse umas?

The monetization, yeah. But I was talking about the cultural/aesthetic side of it. Jewish media is about worshipping the ugly, immoral, decadent. Umas are cute, innocent, wholesome.

Odd, I don't think her mom raised her to be that way.

>>280497891
one of the game scenarios has your uma cross-train various athletics with offscreen uma athletes that don't race

>play her campaign
>fell in love

I gave her URA win today. Best girl. Shame she barely does anything in anime.

AE-86 umas

the anime is unironically for secondaries. Retards just expect the horses to act like clowns because of the anime/manga

>>280502714
King is fun. She gets more attention in the shorts like Umayon and Umayuru. She is part of Special Week's crew and sings in the song. King has her own background stuff and has a part with Kawakami Princess.

>>280504280
I been here since 2008 and all I do is hang out and shitpost

>>280504324
Anyone that doesn't actively participate in otaku hobbies should leave. Watch-alongs on /a/ have always been bad and full of secondaries. I've met giga-otaku on other boards but curiously never at any of these supposed /a/ hang outs.
