About the umamusume movie

I watched it in the dark, with my friend fast asleep next to me. We were supposed to go hang outside, but I was too tired so we ended up staying in my bed and play games together.

I've already seen snippets of it through posts on X. The aggressive and raw expressions and movements of these horse girls desperately and ferociously chase towards the finish line hooked me immediately

As expected, I had goosebumps seeing these races unfold, and what it meant to these girls, specifically Jungle Pocket... she's definitely climbing my fav list lol

The animation especially elevated these intense races, I haven't seen something capture the hectic concentration of competitive runners this well...

When Jungle Pocket stumbled on a race, thanks to the animators perfectly conveying, I could also feel the dread of falling left behind. I'm not sure how to explain this well, but just the movie and it'll be there. It's not really a super important scene, I was just stunned how an animation managed to make me feel like I'm in her place, experiencing what she's felt; dread from starting too late

At first I thought of posting this on X... but I didn't want to catch anyone's attention in case I pop up on their timeline... I'm actually really sleepy but it was in my head so I wanna put my words somewhere
I plan to watch it again to savor the details a bit more, of course I like the plot and characters etc... but the animation really is the bestselling appeal to me so I wanna watch it again
