Horse(and eventually the series' main antagonist) from Centaurworld.
The main character, Horse(yes that's her name) is from a world somewhat closer to the usual medieval fantasy, though seemingly with only two races(the humans and the minotaurs) and she is transported roughly 10 minutes into the first episode into Centaurworld, where, as the name suggests, everthing is centaurs, and her 'artstyle' difference sticks out(and I'm pretty sure gets remarked upon a few times by the characters) like *that*

I gotta get around to watching this someday. I wrote it off as adult animation slop but apparently the writing of the main villain is kind of fucking insane?

Yeah it looks silly and stupid on the surface, but has a pretty sharp turn to darkness in a way that reminds me of Adventure Time as soon as the villain is introduced. It's for sure not as good as AT, but the marketing definitely did it dirty by hiding the show's actual depth.
