What's the Story?

UMAMUSUME: CINDERELLA GRAY is a continuation in the multimedia Umamusume franchise. The Cinderella Gray anime specifically focuses on a group of Uma, or horse-girl racers. These Uma are competitive racing champions who've joined the Kasamatsu Tracen Academy to finish high school and put a major focus on their racing skills and abilities. Oguri Cap (voiced by Tomoyo Takayanagi) is a new addition to the school who has won a scholarship. She, along with other characters like Berno Light (Momoko Seto), train hard while overcoming their emotional and physical barriers and difficulties to become national idols.

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say : Not yet rated

This mild, enjoyable show is geared toward a younger teen audience, but it has some lessons even adults can learn, such as being grateful for what you have and showing sporting behavior. In Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, the races are a big part of the show and can sometimes feel a bit prolonged even though they're meant to feel suspenseful. Characters, though, are endearing, and the focus on each of their backstories helps more fully develop the story and make it more three-dimensional. Overall, it's simply an average high school sports drama, with some fantasy aspects.
