Where to Watch Umamusume: Pretty Derby in Canada

Umamusume: Pretty Derby is currently streaming in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and its 8/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who've already found it know. 3 seasons that reward every hour invested.

Japanese production values give Umamusume: Pretty Derby a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. In a world very much like our own, great race horses of the past have a chance to be reborn as "horse girls"—girls with the ears and tails of horses as well as their speed and endurance. The best of these horse girls go to train at Tokyo's Tracen Academy, hopefully moving on to fame and fortune as both racers and idols. Special Week, a high school horse girl from the countryside, has just transferred to Tracen, and she's determined to fulfill her promise to her mother to become the best horse girl in Japan. Machico and Hinaki Yano lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (2018–2023), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to.
