I finished the second season of Umamusume this week. I can see why people loved this season!

:::spoiler Umamusume s2 spoilers As someone who's had his fitness goals crushed by injury more times than he can count l really felt like they did a good job of capturing the despair that goes with that. For me it was just some basic "exercise so I don't drop dead of heart disease in my 40s" stuff, but it still felt awful having months of progress reset to zero, and then it felt even worse when it happened again. I can't imagine what it would've been like if those were my life goals being crushed instead!
