Use the horse, Luke.

I will at least post Kuroitsu's last episode, but the dogs are getting cranky because they've usually been on a walk by now, so I'll be doing that for the next bit.

Impressions:

Okay, so, let's make a show about polo. What do we know about polo? It has horses. Great! We can do a bit where the horses go berserk and race around, and the only way to pacify them is if the protagonist jumps from one horse to another by using the Force. Wait, what. That's polo, baby! …No, it is not. I don't know what this is. I'm not joking about using the Force either. He closes his eyes and uses his horse sense to see the psychic image of the horse in order to grasp the reins. He then falls off a horse into the arms of his platonic new boyfriend, which literally explodes into a nuclear holocaust of cherry blossoms.

Maybe it's a passable start for a comedy, but there is not a single humorous bone in this show's skeleton. It makes me think of an idol show more than anything with the silly costumes and brightly colored hair, except instead of a CGI concert, there's CGI horses stampeding around the campus. The boy band ED may also contribute to that impression though. Being bafflingly inane is better than another paint by numbers sports show, I suppose, but I am skeptical that's a selling point for most people, and this would literally be a filler episode in most other shows, even if they have to have a cat in a terrorists helmet and a giant pizza to make things spicy.
