Because it is, somehow, an actually very well made game. One of those things where I first just learned about the anime and just thought that sounds dumb, but man the game is actually fun. Also the recent spinoff anime series (cinderella gray) was actually just a very good sports anime.
The game’s actually really well made. The anime is fantastic with a good author behind it. It is incredibly respectful to the horses in the heritage of them. Honestly, all things said and done. It’s just a generally highly polished IP with a lot of respect to the source material on the horses and it does a lot of charity and good.
In this case, a horse girl is an anime girl with horse ears and a horse tail. Umamusume is a gotcha game where you manage a horse girl that participates in a horse race. It’s very similar to Monster Rancher, except with FOMO and horny.
There have always been Horse Girls, whether they own a horse or not. Many girls go through a Horse Girl phase, and it sticks for some. When I was in elementary school, all the girls wanted to read Misty of Chincoteague, but the school library only had a couple of copies, so there was always a waiting list for it.
This is Horse Girl with an Anime twist. Not that big of a surprise really.
WTF is a “horse girl”? Umamusume? Is that some anime thing I’m not weeb enough to know?
I’m afraid to ask these questions because I feel like I’m always so disappointed in the answer.
Everytime I see something about it I just wonder why it’s popular.

The movie that came out semi recently was also really goddamn good

The fans are just crazy
It’s a mobile game where you train anime girls modeled after horses to race.
Yeah that checks out. Lol.
Uma (馬) is horse in Japanese and musume (娘) is daughter (or young, unmarried woman, I guess). Beyond that, I have no idea what is going on.
Thanks for this invaluable insight into the epidemiology of horse girls.
Musume is also the term used for anthropomorphized anime girls.
