The review says the story of rookie runner Jungle Pocket works as a standalone entry. It praises the hand-drawn animation for capturing raw physical power and notes the female protagonists are allowed to be intense, sweaty, and off-putting. The review finds no leering fan service and calls the emotional core solid despite the absurd premise.","why_it_matters":"The review frames the film as a rare sports anime that lets its female cast be physically powerful and visually feral without undercutting them for a presumed male gaze.","published_at":"2026-05-16T04:40:33.000Z","source_count":1,"sources":["Anime Feminist"],"citations":[{"source":"Anime Feminist","title":"Umamusume: Pretty Derby - Beginning of a New Era - Movie Review","url":"https://www.animefeminist.com/umamusume-pretty-derby-beginning-of-a-new-era-movie-review/"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":["Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era"],"manga_titles":[],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"review","domain":"anime","is_roundup":false}}}
