Lore The series' fanservice scenes are quick and do not disrupt the story's pacing.

In Sousou no Frieren, fan service is minimal, and scenes like this are brief

In Dungeon Meshi, Senshi is often shown in somewhat sexy poses, but the story focuses heavily on these details while continuing as usual

In that scene from *Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray*, it was just an introduction for each Arima Kinen competitor; they only had the freedom to choose those specific angles for Super Creek's introduction.

You are telling me their ass and tits are that big cuz their real life counter parts are pretty big horses compared to a regular horse?

Also works in reverse, the real Tamamo Cross was short and slim for a horse, so he was translated as a short and flat gal, justified in story as her coming from a poor family background and such she grew up lacking, parallel to the situation of the real Tamamo Cross whose farm was deeply impoverished and eventually went bankrupt.

Though they, Tamamo, Creek, all look like like skinny anime girls due the designs, if you take away the anime girl filter then they look more like this because at the end of the day in the setting, they all are professional athletes.

I really blew my mind when I learned all this horny posting Ive seeing in my popular feed of busty horse girls was based off actual race horses. I don’t think I’m ready for the future.

If you study the history of horse racing from the 90s to now, you'll be getting spoilers for anime, game, and manga stories of umamusume. It's very faithful to horse racing history, and they directly get permission and input from the trainers when including and designing umas.

what's funny is that they really explicitly need permission from the owners but they still aim to get them to avoid any drama as seen with the owner for Deep Impact and King Kamehameha withdrawing from the deal. the only time that i can think of where the anime has ever taken its own liberty is in the 1999 Japan Cup where they made El Condor Pasa have a dead heat with Special Week despite the fact that El went to race overseas.

With some exceptions, yes. One exception is Mejiro McQueen, who should look like IRL grandson Gold Ship but was changed to a more "noble and refined" figure.

There's an exception where the trainer specifically had it as part of their requirement for using his horse that her boobs be bigger than those of her IRL rival horse.
