    Clearly ya’ll have not known any horse girls.

    This is extremely normal for them.

    I’d be willing to bet there are nearly 0 horse girls who are not also absolute super fans of some kind of cartoon media / video game.

    I dated a horse girl back in the mid to late 00’s.

    She was studying Japanese at Uni, and I am 90% sure she was writing fan subs for Death Note, as it was coming out.

    Oh and she also was just fully fabricating her own cosplays, like multiple a year, at the kind of quality level you’d see people making businesses out of on etsy, a decade later.

    … We did not end up working out, but she’s since gone on to literally cross all of Mongolia, on horseback.

    Do not fuck with nor underestimate horse girls.

        … Damn.

        I had to look that up, I’d never even heard of that manga.

        Also: WTF I didn’t even know CLAMP was that old?!

        … Yeah, this is what I mean, horse girls are somehow able to consistently out-nerd me, and I do find this intimidating, lol.

          I’d recommend the show over the manga. It’s why I laugh about the whole idea that “isekai” is new. I just want to be a girl ontop of Tokyo Tower and be transported into a new world where I am a Magical Girl xD

            The funny part is the way Isekai is used now has been around in Japan for decades, but even going further back the old school Isekai were just an adoption of a style do story telling from eastern European stories into a Japanese style.

            Those old eastern European stories go back hundreds of years. It’s funny to watch tropes people think are new in anime show up in old ass stories from like the Ukraine region decades before anything remotely close showed up in manga or anime.
