Release Dates

The anime will premiere in April on TBS and 27 of its affiliates and will run for two cours (quarters of the year), with a break in between.

Tomoyo Takayanagi stars as Oguri Cap.

Yūki Itō (Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid) is directing the anime at Cygames. Aki Kindaichi is in charge of the series' composition. Takuya Miyahara and Keigo Sasaki (The Seven Deadly Sins) are designing the characters. Masafumi Sugiura (Uma Musume Pretty Derby) is in charge of the scripts. Junnosuke Itō is credited as the planner of the manga.

Kuzumi launched the manga in Weekly Young Jump in June 2020, and Shueisha published the 15th volume on June 19. The manga centers on Oguri Cap as the protagonist.

The anime franchise includes three previous TV anime seasons, the Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Road to the Top net anime, and the Umayon spinoff television anime.

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Shinjidai no Tobira (Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Beginning of a New Era), the franchise's new anime film, opened on May 24.

The Uma Musume Pretty Derby game launched for iOS and Android in February 2021. The game was originally slated for release in winter 2018, but was delayed to improve the game's quality. The game launched on PC via DMM Games in March 2021.

The game's concept begins with Uma Musume (horse girls), girls with excellent running abilities who aspire to become top idols and compete in the national sports entertainment show "Twinkle Series." Players take on the role of the girls' teacher and trainer in the Nihon Uma Musume Training Center Gakuen (Japan Horse Girls Training Center Academy) and help them make their debut.
