Produced by the acclaimed studio P.A.WORKS, directed by Kei Oikawa, and series-composed by Pierre Sugiura, this anime masterfully balances fierce competitive spirit with heartfelt everyday moments. Whether you're a fan of sports anime or emotional character-driven stories, Umamusume delivers an unforgettable experience straight out of the gate.

Set in a world that mirrors our own in many ways, this story imagines a remarkable phenomenon: legendary racehorses from history are reborn as "Uma Musume"—girls who carry the ears and tails of their former selves, along with extraordinary speed and stamina. The most gifted among them earn a place at Tracen Academy in Tokyo, where they train rigorously in pursuit of glory both on the racetrack and on the idol stage. Special Week is a spirited horse girl who has just arrived at Tracen after growing up in the countryside. Driven by a heartfelt vow she made to her mother—to one day stand as the greatest horse girl in all of Japan—she throws herself into this new chapter of her life with fierce determination. Before she even sets foot on campus, a chance encounter at the track introduces her to Silence Suzuka, whose breathtaking racing style leaves a lasting impression. From that moment on, Special Week's path becomes intertwined with an exciting new goal.
