The Uma Musume Pretty Derby franchise announced on Sunday that it is pursuing the Guinness World Record for Most Speaking Characters in a Short-form Animation Series Based on a Video Game with Umayuru Full Gate!, the sequel to 2022's Uma Yuru. The short anime premiered on the franchise's YouTube channel on Friday. Guinness World Records will reveal in March 2027 whether the record was broken.
Episodes of Umayuru Full Gate! follow broadcasts of PakaLive TV, and the series is the sequel to Uma Yuru, which premiered in October 2022. Both were inspired by the Uma Musume Pretty Derby mobile game, released in February 2021 for iOS and Android and on PC via DMM Games the following month. An English version arrived for iOS and Android in June 2025, and the game took Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards 2025. The record outcome lands in March 2027.
