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.

An anime adaptation of Mahjong Soul will start airing in April 2022. The official title of the anime is Mahjong Soul: Pong☆, and the production studio behind it is Scooter Films. Mahjong Soul: Pong☆ will be a series of shorts featuring chibi versions of the characters from Mahjong Soul rather than an adaptation of the game’s story. [Thanks, Dengeki!]

The announcement for this anime first came out during the Nijisanji Mahjong Cup, an event in which Nijisanji JP faced each other off in the Mahjong Soul game. The Pong in the title is a reference to the “pong” in real-life mahjong. This is when you make a set of three tiles by claiming one the player before you set down.

While this is the Scooter Films' first anime production, director Kenshiro Morii previously worked on Grand Blues! and Anime-Gataris, two shows that also focused on comedic shorts. The anime cast list is unannounced, but it will likely feature the same ones from the game. Some of the actors or actress in the game include Maaya Uchida (Fischl from Genshin Impact) and Sakura Tange (Nero from Fate/Grand Order).

Mahjong Soul is an online mahjong game from Chinese company Cat Food Studio. It is available to play in a web browser and on mobile devices. You can update your player characters with microtransactions, as well as level them up or raise their affection. The game also occasionally has collaborations with other intellectual properties, such as a Kakegurui crossover in 2021.
