Witchy Pretty Cure!!: MIRAI DAYS Anime Reveals Visual, Staff, and Theme Song Artist
Get ready for the most magical adventure yet! The official website for Mahō Tsukai Precure!!: MIRAI DAYS, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved Witchy Pretty Cure! (Mahō Tsukai Precure! or Maho Girls Precure!) anime, has unveiled a stunning new visual and the main staff and theme song artist for the anime!
The talented Takayuki Hamana, who also directed last year’s Yes! Precure 5 sequel series Power of Hope: Precure Full Bloom, is credited as series director for Witchy Pretty Cure!: MIRAI DAYS. Toei Animation and Studio DEEN are animating the series, with Isao Murayama (Witchy Pretty Cure!, Star Twinkle Precure) overseeing the series scripts. Asami Sodeyama (Hanabichan The Girl Who Popped Out of the Game World) is adapting Emiko Miyamoto‘s original character designs, and Hiroshi Takaki (Witchy Pretty Cure!) is composing the music.
The anime’s opening theme song “Dokkin Mahō Tsukai Precure! Part 3″ will be performed by the talented Rie Kitagawa, who returns to continue her theme songs for the series.
The original anime’s main cast are returning for the sequel, including:
Yui Horie as Riko/Cure Magical
Saori Hayami as Kotoha Hanami/Cure Felice
Ayaka Saitō as Mofurun
The sequel will premiere in the “Animazing!!!” block on ABC TV, TV Asahi, and their affiliate channels on January 11, 2025 at 26:00 (effectively, January 12 at 2:00 a.m.). The original announcement for the Maho Girls Precure! sequel had slated the anime to air in 2024. The sequel’s website has the tagline, “The two futures are now connected with the magic words ‘Cure Up RaPaPa!'”
The Mahō Tsukai Precure!!: MIRAI DAYS sequel is one of two 20th anniversary projects that Toei Animation announced for the Precure franchise in March 2023. Toei Animation labels both projects as being aimed at fans who grew up on the original anime, along with those who are watching the franchise‘s current entries. The other project was last fall’s Power of Hope: Precure Full Bloom television anime.
Maho Girls Precure! aired from 2016 to 2017. The series featured themes of magic and witches, with Precures calling upon powers of legendary witches, instead of legendary warriors.
The franchise‘s 21st and latest main entry, Wonderful Precure!, premiered on February 5.
