# Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Watch Order Also known as: Umamusume: Pretty Derby, Uma Musume, Umamusume, Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, Umamusume: Road to the Top Source: https://www.animechrono.com/franchise/uma-musume-pretty-derby Last updated: 2026-10-31 Last checked against current sources: 2026-10-30 AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special in chronological story order, mark optional entries, say where to start, and are maintained by signed-in fans with versioned edits that can be reverted (11 entries in this order). 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. ## Recommended first watch Start with Season 1 (13 episodes), then Season 2 (13) and Season 3 (13). Road to the Top (4) plus Beginning of a New Era, and Cinderella Gray (13 + 10), are separate stories you can watch in any order.
