If you enjoyed the first cour of Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray, you’ll likely enjoy this one as well.
The 2nd cour focuses mainly on the growing rivalry between Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross. While slightly shorter than the first, this cour delivers more intense races and a faster overall pace, with the occasional slice-of-life and comedic moments sprinkled in — a nice touch between the high-stakes competitions. For manga readers, this is a crucial part of the story and one of its emotional parts.
Plot & Storytelling:
-Oguri Cap no longer stands alone as the main character, as Tamamo Cross takes a much larger role, and her development
...
here is satisfying, setting up important future events.
-The pacing is faster but steady, maintaining strong consistency throughout.
-New themes emerge that give the story a more mature and grounded tone, marking a clear evolution from the first cour’s lighter atmosphere.
Characters:
-The foreign Uma Musume get brief introductions, but they’re distinct enough to leave an impression — especially one who’s poised to play a major role this season.
-Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross share the spotlight beautifully, with Belno and the Tracen School girls still present often.
Art & Animation:
-Visually, it’s as stunning as ever. The art style fits the more seinen tone, creating a mature atmosphere distinct from Pretty Derby.
-The opening contains subtle spoilers if you know what to look for, a nice touch for fans who pay attention.
Sound & Voice Acting:
-It's a 10/10 still, every VA, every soundtrack fits perfectly, and it's nothing but professional quality as expected. - The ending theme is nothing but adorable, with Oguri Cap and Tamamo Cross having a duet singing an emotional and heartfelt song. (I recommend finding the lyrics for it, as it gives good information about the closing of this 2nd cour).
TL;DR:
The 2nd cour of Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray maintains the strong storytelling of the first while turning up the intensity. The pacing is quicker, the races are even more exhilarating, and the visuals remain stunning. Fans of the manga — and the franchise overall — will find this cour a faithful and emotionally rewarding adaptation.
Personally, I think the story only gets better from here, and this cour proves why Cinderella Gray is one of the most underrated gems in recent anime.
