What is Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray About?
Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray is a spin-off of the popular Uma Musume Pretty Derby franchise created by Cygames. The story centers around Oguri Cap, a unique and incredibly talented “horse girl” who defies convention with her running style.
The anime follows Oguri Cap’s journey from the Kasamatsu Training Center Academy, located in a rather desolate area, to the national stage. Her overwhelming running style quickly overturns common sense, and she earns the moniker of “monster” due to her ash-covered appearance and extraordinary abilities.
