Cygames and Toho Movie has announced a movie for Umamusume: Pretty Derby. The title of the movie is Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era, and it’ll come out on May 24, 2024 in Japan.
You can watch the trailer here:
Like the games, the movie seems to focus on the horse girls working hard in order to win their races and beat their rivals. It’ll be kind of like a sports anime, in that sense. Horse girls who will play a major role in the Umamusume: Pretty Derby movie are: Jungle Pocket, Agnes Tachyon, Manhattan Cafe, Dantsu Flame, and TM Opera O.
From the trailer, it seems that the movie will follow Jungle Pocket as the protagonist, who experiences defeat at the hands of Agnes Tachyon. Though Jungle Pocket views Agnes Tachyon as her rival and trains to defeat her, Agnes Tachyon, like in the game, has very little actual interest in racing and doesn’t care about winning. The movie focuses on a group of horse girls separate from the ones who starred in the anime. The anime featured characters like Special Week, Kitasan Black, and Gold Ship.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is readily available for Windows PC and mobile devices, and it’s only in Japanese. Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era will appear in movie theaters in Japan from May 24, 2024.
