Ahead of the Umamusume: Pretty Derby game global debut, Cygames released the four Umayuru: Pretty Gray anime episodes in English online. This is a short series created by Scooter Films, which was also responsible for the original 24-episode Umayuru. All episodes of this latest series are available on YouTube, with a dedicated playlist offering easy access to them. The new Umamusume: Cinderella Gray anime is on Amazon.
Things kicked off with “Brutal Standoff.” That began by focusing on Cinderella Gray and Oguri Cap at Solefall Faire. The two are running a takoyaki stand. To see English subtitles, turn on closed captions. However, they find they have competition from other characters like Gold Ship and Mejiro McQueen.
Episode 2 is called “Yatsuhashi Blight: The Seiun Case Files.” It features the horse girls visiting Yatsuhashi Village, a small town with mysterious urban legends surrounding it. Seiun Sky and King Halo arrive to figure out what’s really happening. They’ll need to turn to characters like Mejiro Bright and Tsurumaru Tsuyoshi as they investigate.
The third episode of the Umayuru: Pretty Gray Umamusume anime shorts is “Destiny’s Tide: The Turbulent Relay.” This gets into more actual racing. Biwa Hayahide leads a training session for the Spring Fan Fest, with characters like Narita Taishin, No Reason, Tanino Gimlet, and Winning Ticket participating in the practice.
The final episode of this series of shorts is called “The Art of Spectating,” and it just released. It features characters heading to Nakayama Racecourse to watch some of the races. We begin by seeing Chrono Genesis, Curren Chan, Gran Alegria, and Loves Only You showing up to an event.
Scooter Films may sound familiar! In addition to this series, it also worked on anime shorts for BanG Dream, Hatsune Miku: Project Sekai, and Tesla Note.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby will come to the PC and mobile devices on June 26, 2025, many of the anime series based on it are on Crunchyroll, and Umayuru: Pretty Gray is now on YouTube.
