Takayuki Hamana (director, Prince of Tennis, 2020 Sorcerous Stabber Orphen) is directing the series at Toei Animation and Studio DEEN. Yoshimi Narita, who has made several movies and TV series Precure (Pretty Cure) before, is in charge of composing the film. Atsuko Nakajima (Komi Can’t Communication, Ranma ½) is designing the characters, and Naoki Satō, who has also worked on several Precure series including Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!, in charge of the music.
Cure Quartet – featuring Precure theme song performers Mayumi Gojo, Yuka Uchiyae, Mayu Kudou and Kanako Miyamoto – will perform the ending theme song “Shizuku no Precure” (Precure Drops). Cure Quartet previously performed the second ending theme song for Yes! Precure 5 GoGo! anime.
Toei Animation previously announced Kibō no Chikara ~Otona Precure 23~ and the tentative title is Mahō Tsukai Precure! 2 (direct sequel to Maho Girls Precure!) anime as part of the Precure franchise’s 20th anniversary project. Toei Animation thinks that both projects are aimed at adult fans.
Mahō Tsukai Precure! 2 will premiere late at night “Animazing!!!” on ABC TV, TV Asahi and 22 affiliates in 2024.
