What does people use to make animations with the 3d models from the Uma Musume game?

I am new to 3d modeling/animation and one of the first things I'd like to learn is how to animate them. So far, I've learned the basics of Blender and managed to extract the models using UmaViewer. I also figured out how to import a .pmx model into Blender.

Before jumping straight into animation tutorials, I wanted to ask if there is an intermediate step required to 'fix' or clean up the model (like fixing textures, weights, or rigging issues), and what tools are usually used for that? Also, given that I have the .pmx files, should I stick to Blender for the whole process or is it usually better/easier to use MikuMikuDance (MMD) instead?
My doubts are mainly about what does people usually use to deal specifically with the uma musume models
