Uma Musume Pretty Derby
"Anything, but as an anime girl" is something of a genre in Japan that is also very popular internationally. For example, there are the browser games Kantai Collection and Azur Lane, in which warships from World War II appear in this form, or Maitetsu, where trains are concerned. In Uma Musume Pretty Derby by Cygames, a mobile phone game that, after its announcement in 2016, became a multimedia franchise with an accompanying manga and an anime before it was even released, everything revolves around horse racing. In the world of Uma Musume, racehorses are reborn as anime girls who then compete against each other. All that has remained of the original form are tails and ears.As strange as the whole thing may seem, the really curious thing is that the names and attributes of the figures were taken from real, historical racehorses, whose owners have given their consent for the display and also have a say in this from the outside. In the past, for example, the producers of Anime Fans called on fans to refrain from using fanart, as this could damage the reputation of the horses and their owners.

Horse racing is a seedy and very lucrative business all over the world, including Japan, which is why the game is controversial on the Internet. The gacha elements, i.e. lootbox-like transaction options, seem to be less of a focus than the real backgrounds and the connections between horse racing and the Japanese mafia yakuza. However, these micro-payments are mainly responsible for the success of Uma Musume. Although the game did not start until the end of February, it was already in the top 5 of the world's top-selling mobile games in March, with revenues equivalent to over 136 million US dollars (~ 113.9 euros). It is currently not known whether there will be a localized version for the European market.

Please note that PUBG Mobile was extremely popular in India but the Indian government later banned the battle royale game in the country under Section 69A of the IT Act, 2000. The ban could be the reason behind PUBG Mobile’s slip in position to the second-highest-grossing mobile game in March 2021, the report said.
