You're seriously telling me this franchise of all things doesn't include HORSE as an option for its basketball mini-game? ― Getting the foal-cal mobile game for Uma Musume Pretty Derby in English has oddly proved a pipe dream thus far for fans of the anthropomorphized racehorse girls.

Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp Anime Film Review

Despite the low-quality reputation that compilation films tend to have, I'd go so far as to say Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp is the best single compilation anime film I've ever seen. ― While anime compilation films are nothing new, Kizumonogatari: Koyomi Vamp, isn't made up of footage from a TV show.

It might not be a game with a lot of bite to it, but That Time I Got Reincarnated as...
