[MOD EDIT: Please don't make remarks like that.]
Those character designs are interesting. I guess this could be cute, though.

"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."For those saving a click, the cast is:
- Kimiko Glenn (Lena DeSpell, Peni Parker, Bridgette) as the normal horse
- Megan Hilty as the pink llama-centaur
- Josh Radnor as the man-giraffe centaur
- Parvesh Cheena
- Chris Diamantopolous
- Jessie Mueller
- Megan Nicole Dong (the creator herself) as super-thin-necked centaur
I suspect the super-thin-necked centaur is a gazelle (or possibly a gerenuk). There's also a zebra-centaur and some kind of bird-centaur (I guess).
We have the names of the characters.

Josh Radnor as Durpleton
Parvesh Cheena as Zulius
Chris Diamantopoulos is CHED

The tone in this is all over the place and I'm really not sure which kind of audience it's aiming for.
"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."Meghan Mc Carthy is working on this. I've been a fan of her work since Foster's so I'm willing to give this show a chance.
Horse and Rider. Descriptive names.
Gotta say, "a gritty fantasy story's main character's horse is isekaid into a Sugar Bowl and must find his way back to save the world" isn't something I'd have thought of, but I'm intrigued.
Funny. After so many shows like Adventure Time, Star Vs Forces Of Evil or Steven Universe - crazy, colorful fun, but there is something darker under the surface - we're getting shows that tell you that stuff under the surface exists from the get-go.
Partly it makes sense because the horse is supposed to be from Serious World so there is no hiding and also I can respect that because it gets tiresome when a new show comes out and is bad or at least unapologetically silly and fans keep saying "keep watching, I'm sure plot kick in any minute now".
Also, interesting that Horse lacks Tertiary Sexual Characteristics. It happens sometimes in cartoons (Tuba from Infinity Train comes to mind) but rarely with the main character. But it works since Horse is from the more realistic world so it helps her stand out.
Actually, I'm surprised no one thought of so many different centaur species. I think I saw a zebra centaur before but a giraffe centaur? That's new.
Honestly, when first watching the trailer, I was surprised to hear Kimiko Glen's voice coming out of the horse, because I expected a male voice. A bad bias, I know - I'm just used to the cartoon conventions of gender-coding.
The show seems to treat every part-animal-part-human creature a "centaur". The trailer showed not just ungulate-based centaurs (zebra, giraffe, gazelle, llama) but also bird- and even whale-centaurs (yeah, I know whales are technically ungulates).
Here's an interview with Megan Nicole Dang.
Kimiko Glenn is also voicing one of the new ponies in the G5 My Little Pony movie, so she has multiple horse-related roles this year.
Now this is a surprise. The first episode of Centaurworld was put onto You Tube 4 days before its Netflix debut. Granted, Ridley Jones had 2 episodes that were put on You Tube before its official July 13 debut, but this was unexpected.

Watched the first episode on You Tube. Kinda don't like the rest of the herd so far, but Horse is a fun character. I like her design, too. Animation style is very fluid.
Although I do admit I kinda wanna see what's happening back in Horse's own world.

I, too, hope these Centaurs Horse is stuck with get some serious as F*** character development, because to have them come off this one-dimensional, as well as obnoxious, is not a good sign for me.
Having them sing too much is only bonus points against them, musical show or not. Only Horse so far has come up with an actually good song, which was at the end of this first episode, so that gives me some hope things can get better. We shall see.
New Web Browser, same old Shokew.

There's an upcoming Netflix show called Centaurworld. Here's an article about the series.

There's no second article yet concerning this clip, but we have a voice cast for the series. Further comments say the series is animated by Mercury Filmworks and will come out July 30.
