Special Week is a horse Girl who wants to become one of the best so that she can fulfill her mother’s promise. They train themselves at the famous Tokyo Tracen Academy. These girls possess horse-like ears and tails and also have the speed and endurance of a horse. The great racehorses from the past have the chance of being reborn as horse girls to regain fame and glory once again. The anime takes place in a world that is quite similar to Earth. ‘Uma Musume: Pretty Derby’ is an anime about horses who have got a second chance at life and have been reborn as horse girls. Interestingly, all this happens within her head only, and she fails to truly let out her frustrations to the people who are responsible for it. She engages in aggressive death metal karaoke where she bashes her coworker’s condescending attitude and her boss. But Retsuko has a unique way of letting the steam off. The constant humiliation and sexism that she faces cause a lot of frustration, and eventually, there comes a breaking point. But her coworkers always try to exploit her innocence, and her boss does not give her the credit that she deserves. ‘Aggressive Retsuko’ follows Retsuko, a 25-year-old red panda who is quite diligent at her work.
