Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Watch Order
11 entries · · community-maintained
Also known as Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Uma Musume, Umamusume, Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, Umamusume: Road to the Top
The Uma Musume: Pretty Derby watch order is easiest as three separate paths, since each story follows different horse girls and needs no other show. The main TV path is Season 1 (Episodes 1-13, 2018), where Special Week joins Tracen Academy and Team Spica, then Season 2 (Episodes 1-13, 2021) with Tokai Teio and Season 3 (Episodes 1-13, 2023) with Kitasan Black; the BNW's Oath OVA and the short 1st Anniversary special are optional extras between them. Road to the Top (Episodes 1-4, 2023) follows Narita Top Road's generation and leads straight into the 2024 film Beginning of a New Era, about Jungle Pocket. Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray (Episodes 1-13, then Part 2, Episodes 1-10, 2025) tells Oguri Cap's story. The Umayon and Umayuru chibi shorts are optional any time.

How this order works
AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special for a franchise in chronological story order, the order the events happen. When an OVA or movie takes place partway through a season, the episode range is split so it sits where it belongs. Entries you can skip are marked optional, and each order says where to start. Release order, sorted by air date, is a secondary view once every entry has a date. The orders began as a hand-curated set, and episode counts and air dates come from AniList. Fans maintain the orders from there. Any signed-in user can edit one. Edits from trusted contributors go live right away and the rest are reviewed first. Every change is versioned and can be reverted, and each order shows when it was last updated and last checked.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby watch order FAQ
What order should I watch Uma Musume: Pretty Derby in?
