It is now May and we still haven't heard anything about the adult Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure! sequel that is supposed to air sometime this year. Nothing official or direct has been said about it since the initial announcement over a year ago, but despite that, there have been some bits of information we can piece together about it.

To start off, let's look at the initial announcement back in March 2023. To celebrate the Pretty Cure franchise's 20th anniversary, Toei Animation announced that they would be producing two sequel PreCure anime for adult audiences.

The first one was Kibou no Chikara ~Otona PreCure '23~/Power of Hope ~PreCure Full Bloom~, which was a sequel to the first five PreCure seasons, but primarily Yes! Pretty Cure 5 and Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! It aired on NHK-E in Fall 2023 for 12 episodes, and was streamed internationally on Crunchyroll.

The second one was tentatively titled "Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure! 2," obviously a sequel to the 13th season of the same name. It was said to air sometime in 2024 on the late night ANiMAZiNG!!!! block. And that's all we ever heard about it since.

ANiMAZiNG!!!!

Let's look at what ANiMAZiNG!!!! actually is. It's an anime programming block from 2:00-2:30AM on Sundays created by the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation with TV Asahi; these networks are the ones responsible for airing PreCure in Japan every Sunday at 8:30AM, so it's familiar territory. ANiMAZiNG!!!! started in October 2020.

Notable anime that aired on this block include: Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious, The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated!, SK8 the Infinity, Iwa-Kakeru! Sport Climbing Girls, I Shall Survive Using Potions!, and Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement.

A 2:00AM slot for PreCure is quite interesting, as even OtonaPre aired on NHK-E as late as Saturday 6:30PM. Despite this, the anime that airs on this block usually isn't too "adult," i.e violent or sexual, so I don't expect MahoPre2 to be anything of the sort. Similarly, the recent Tokyo Mew Mew New aired around midnight, and it wasn't out of the ordinary in terms of content.

With the exception of the Jahy anime, the anime that airs on this block usually does for just one cour, i.e. it has about 11-12 episodes and takes up one seasonal anime slot. We can assume that MahoPre will also have 12 episodes, not just because of this, but also because that was the same amount OtonaPre had. Relatedly, since MahoPre2 is airing on a different network than OtonaPre did, I also think that MahoPre2, when it gets an official title, is probably not going to be under the "Otona" label. OtonaPre aired on NHK-E, the "E" standing for education, and thus was heavily tied in to topics such as climate change and SDGs, of which I don't see MahoPre2 focusing on as much given it will air on a different network that doesn't have such an educational slant (see the other anime that usually airs on ANiMAZiNG!!!!).

At this point in time, the Winter 2024 anime season has long since concluded, and the Spring 2024 season is currently ongoing. So, we know what anime has aired/is airing on ANiMAZiNG!!!! this year so far, but we also have information on a few anime that will air later in the year too, so let's paint a schedule:

The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids — Jan 7 - Mar 24 (Winter 2024)

Tonari no Yokai-san — Apr 7 - TBA (Spring 2024)

??? (Summer 2024)

The Healer Who was Banished From His Party is Actually the Strongest — Starts Oct (Fall 2024)

All of the seasonal slots for ANiMAZiNG!!! this year, except for Summer, have been filled up, and none of them include MahoPre2. On the official site, the poster for the upcoming Summer season is just a blank "Coming Soon." I find it surprising in the case of the Fall slot, because I was expecting MahoPre2 to air there, as OtonaPre also aired in the Fall last year. Based on this information and lack thereof so far, one can assume that MahoPre2 will be airing in the Summer, but doesn't that seem a little strange?

The Summer anime season usually starts in July, and that's two months away now, so why have we gotten basically no official information on the anime yet, not even a proper title or a few visuals? Despite the fact that OtonaPre aired in October last year, we got a peek at the first visual about a week after the initial announcement in March, followed by a moderately paced reel of information throughout the year. Looking at the other non-PreCure anime on ANiMAZiNG!!!!, Strongest Tank was officially announced back in October 2023 (three months prior to airing), Yokai-san was officially announced back in November 2023 (five months prior to airing), [insert overtly long isekai title] was announced earlier this year in January (9 months prior to airing), so MahoPre2 definitely stands out in its lack of information at this late of a stage. Even so, I can't think of any other anime that would be taking the Summer slot at this point in time. There's also the possibility that Yokai-san runs for a second cour, but usually anime that airs on ANiMAZiNG!!! only run for one season, and Yokai-san's original manga concluded with 4 volumes and one side story, which is generally enough content to fit one cour.

So, what can we expect in the coming weeks/months? The first thing is, like most PreCure anime, a logo/title drop in the Japanese trademark office. Just a day before the initial announcement of OtonaPre, the logo was recorded in the office, so it's likely that whenever the MahoPre2 title drops, an official reveal will follow shortly.

What Rie Takahashi said

Another bit of information comes from Rie Takahashi, the voice actress for MahoPre's Mirai /Cure Miracle, on her radio show with fellow voice actress and friend, Reina Ueda (who coincidentally voices Mayu/Cure Lillian in the current Wonderful Pretty Cure!). For the episode uploaded on February 19 earlier this year, she talks a bit about MahoPre2, how it's airing sometime in 2024, and that they're excited for it, that this year is going to be a great one, no new information really, but it's probably the most recent information we've gotten from an official source, albeit a reconfirmation of what we already know.

Somewhat relatedly, the Kamikita twins, who draw the seasonal PreCure manga adaptations every year, posted a tweet earlier this year in January asking if there was anymore news on MahoPre2, which seems to indicate that, even to them at that point, they weren't briefed on anything behind the scenes.

Speculation: The "Wonderful PreCure!" movie

For the sections labeled speculation, I ask that you please do not take anything I write here as pure fact.

While browsing the Japanese side of Twitter, I came across a few opinions of PreCure fans on why Toei is being hush on MahoPre2. One idea is linked to the WonPre movie coming out later in September. In the film's initial trailer, there's a line said towards the end:

さらに素敵なお友達の出番です!っていいました？！ "Sara ni sutekina otomodachi no deban desu! tte iimashita?!" "Did you just say, 'It's time for even more wonderful friends'?!"

What's the significance of the Japanese characters I highlighted in bold? In the context of PreCure, they are the catchphrases of Sora from last year's HiroPre, and Mirai from MahoPre. The 出番, deban, comes from Sora's catchphrase, ヒーローの出番です!, Hero no deban desu!, or officially translated as "It's hero time!" The っていいました？！, tte iimashita?!, or "Did you just say [x]?!" is a quoting particle frequently used by Mirai. Tumblr only allows one video upload per post, so I'll have to link to a separate post I made with the video comparison.

With this in mind, a fair amount of fans believe that the WonPre film will be another crossover one, like the HealPre and TroPre ones were, only this time, that team will be crossing over with the HiroPre and MahoPre teams. It's likely that MahoPre is added in to promote the upcoming sequel, which could be airing around the time the film hits theaters. For that reason, it's probable that Toei wants to combine the marketing for both MahoPre2 and the WonPre film, neither of which has started yet.

Speculation: MahoPre2 Delayed?

The idea of MahoPre2 being delayed isn't really based on any evidence, but pure speculation. Some fans believe that internal politics at Toei have made them shelve the sequel for the time being. Sailor Moon fans are familiar with how Sailor Moon Eternal and Sailor Moon Cosmos were mishandled and delayed multiple times.

Ojamajo Doremi, PreCure's older sister franchise, is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary with a potential animation plan adapting the sequel light novels with the girls grown up. Funnily enough, that's similar to the concept of MahoPre2, so maybe Toei somewhere down the line turned MahoPre2 into Doremi1620? Hahaha...

Another common theory is that MahoPre2 will actually air in early 2025. That sounds a bit weird, doesn't it? They explicitly said 2024, even Rie Takahashi said so, right? Technically, that wouldn't be a lie, if Toei was looking at Fiscal Year 2024, which in Japan, lasts from April 2024 to March 2025 for governments and corporations. That would give MahoPre2 time to air in the Winter 2025 season, and thus the promotion hasn't started yet because it's still too early.

So, with that all said, there are at least two time periods I believe MahoPre2 could air in, the Summer 2024 season, or the Winter 2025 season. As of now, we can only wait for more information, but I do not have reason to believe that Toei cancelled this project.

What's Precure /gen?

According to the wikipedia, Pretty Cure, also known as Precure (pronounced Purikyua), is a "Japanese magical girl anime franchise created by Izumi Todo and Bandai and produced by Asahi Broadcasting Corporation, Asatsu-DK, Toei Animation and Bandai. Each series revolves around a group of magical girls known as Pretty Cures who battle against evil forces." The magical girls of this franchise, like many other magical girls, have a magical (usually animal who can turn into a human) mentor to help guide them.

The franchise first kicked off in February 2004 with Futari Wa Pretty Cure, and got so popular that it spawned a sequel series, Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart in February 2005. Popularity continued to grow for the franchise, and eighteen series later, we are now in the year 2023 with Hirogaru Sky! Precure. There is also going to be an adult Precure spinoff series, Kibou no Chikara ~Otona Pretty Cure '23~, which will consist of the Yes! Precure 5 GoGo! and Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star team members as adults, which will begin releasing on October 7th of this year.

Each series of Precure will usually have a movie about half-way through, though sometimes a series movie will instead be a crossover movies. These crossover movies, called Pretty Cure All Stars, began in March 2009. In fact, on September 15th, Pretty Cure All Stars F will release in Japanese theaters.

You can find some of the Precure series on CrunchyRoll, but you can find a majority of them by looking hard enough (if you catch my drift, wink wink.)

Pretty Cure is a really good franchise (of course, some of the series have their moments), and have had some pretty big stars voice some characters, such as Sailor Moon's VA voicing Hummy on Suite Precure. I recommend it!

Exploring Yomiuri Shimbun

According to my research, there are several large broadcast companies in Japan. These five companies are Nippon Television, Tokyo Broadcasting System, Fuji Television, TV Asahi, and TV Tokyo. All of these companies compete against each other in broadcasting, but the Yomiuri Shimbun Newspaper seems to be the most popular source of news. The Yomiuri Shimbun is privately owned by the Yomiuri Shimbun group, and controlled by past and present employees. According to my research, this newspaper is owned by a national corporation. The Yomiuri Shimbun’s two closest competitors are Asahi and Mainichi. From what I can tell, they are competitors because they release similar editions and have an English translation. They refer to these three newspapers as “The Big Three.” The Yomiuri Shimbun contributed in founding Japan’s first baseball team, named the Yomiuri Giants. This helped to increase the popularity of the newspaper. All three newspapers seem to be influenced by American news sources, but it is most evident in the Yomiuri Shimbun due to their adaptation of a previously “American” sport.

Lies Fly in 4-nin wa Sorezore Uso wo Tsuku TV Anime

  Some quick news for all you fans of absurd comedy out there: 4-nin wa Sorezore Uso wo Tsuku ("Four People That All Lie In Their Own Way"), a zany high school comedy manga by Madoka Kashihara about a group of four girls who are best friends despite each having a ridiculous secret, is being adapted into a TV anime that will broadcast in 2022.

    The original 4-nin wa Sorezore Uso wo Tsuku manga is serialized by Kodansha in their Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine publication. The story follows the ordinary high school days of four girls - Rikka, Chiyo, Sekine, and Tsubasa - who are best friends and who attend an all-girls school together. However, each girl has a ridiculous secret: Rikka is an extraterrestrial invader, Chiyo is a runaway shinobi, Sekine has psychic powers, and Tsubasa is actually a cross-dressing boy who has swapped identities with his twin sister so that she can attend an all-boys school alongside her favorite idol singer.

  The 4-nin wa Sorezore Uso wo Tsuku TV anime will broadcast in 2022 as part of the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation / TV Asahi "ANiMAZiNG!!!" programming block. The cast, the staff, and the exact broadcast details for the show have not yet been revealed.

Crunchryoll, altre serie si aggiungono al palinsesto simulcast invernale

Il catalogo 2021 della piattaforma si fa sempre più ricco.

Annunciati da Crunchyroll altri sette anime per il già corposissimo palinsesto invernale 2021 della piattaforma, che fra novità e serie in corso ne ha veramente per tutti i gusti. Come sempre i titoli verranno distribuiti in streaming in contemporanea con la trasmissione giapponese, quindi in lingua originale con sottotitoli in italiano; gli abbonati premium potranno vedere da subito le puntate, che però dopo un settimana saranno accessibili a tutti gratuitamente.

YATOGAME-CHAN KANSATSU NIKKI 3

Terza stagione della simpatica serie di corti tratta dall’omonimo manga 4-koma di Masaki Andou.

Dopo essere cresciuto a Tokyo, lo studente Jin Kaito si trasferisce a Nagoya dove incontra Yatogame Monaka, una studentessa che mette in mostra il proprio accento di Nagoya. Con il suo aspetto da gatta e il suo verace dialetto, Yatogame non gli si avvicina neppure minimamente. Questa commedia locale ha aumentato la notorietà di Nagoya grazie all'adorabile Yatogame-chan!

L’adattamento della commedia scolastica è diretto da Hisayoshi Hirasawa (Miss Bernard said., Netsuzou Trap -NTR-) presso lo studio Saetta (Jingai-san no Yome), in collaborazione con Creators in Pack (Miss Bernard said, Love is Like a Cocktail).  

WAVE!! LET’S GO SURFING

Versione televisiva dei tre film ideati da MAGES per il franchise a tema surf lanciato di recente da Love&Art’s (la stessa compagnia dietro a Meiji Tokyo Renka e B-PROJECT).

"Siamo liberi solo quando cavalchiamo queste onde!” 

Masaki è nato e cresciuto nella costa Oarai della prefettura di Ibaraki in cui delle enormi onde s'infrangono sul litorale ogni giorno dell'anno. Un giorno incontra per caso il principesco studente Sho e scopre lo sport definitivo in cui si affronta il mondo con solo una tavola sotto i tuoi piedi: il surf. Questo è solo l'inizio della storia infinita che parla di alcuni ragazzi che hanno scoperto il fascino del surf.

L’anime è diretto da Takaharu Ozaki (Girls’ Last Tour, Goblin Slayer) presso lo studio Asahi Production. La sceneggiatura è curata da Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Girls’ Last Tour, Black Clover), mentre il design dei personaggi è stato concepito da Yomi Sarachi (La storia della Arcana Famiglia, Lostorage incited WIXOSS) e poi adattato per l’animazione da Tomoko Iwasa (Hakumei to Mikochi).

IDOLLS!

Originale serie tv di Shin-Ei Animation (Null Peta, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san), animata in computer grafica con l’ausilio di Project Singularity, una tecnologia utilizzata di solito dai VTuber per le loro live performance, permettendo di registrare voce e movimenti del cast in tempo reale.

Idolls!: Go for Hoi Hoi Hall! È la storia appassionata, ma rilassante, lunga 10 giorni sulle prove affrontate da delle idol che s'impegnano per riempire una sala concerti di 100 persone!

L’anime è diretto da Shouta Nakano e sceneggiato da Takeshi Miyamoto (The 8th son? Are you kidding me?). Il design dei personaggi è stato concepito dal mangaka Keiji Watarai (Kamogawa Horumo, O/A) e poi adattato per i modelli 3D da Shouji Kubota.

BUNGO STRAY DOGS WAN! - Dal 12 gennaio

Serie animata basata sull’omonimo comedy manga di Neco Kanai, spin-off del popolare fumetto scritto da Kafka Asagiri e disegnato da Sango Harukawa, edito in Italia da Planet Manga.

Bungo Stray Dogs Wan: una storia d'azione epica ambientata nella vivace e fittizia città di Yokohama i cui venti del porto infuriano come i "possessori di poteri" ereditati dai giganti della letteratura.

La serie è realizzato da Bones (Kekkai Sensen, Mob Psycho 100) in collaborazione con Nomad (Dropkick On My Devil!) e vede il debutto alla regia di Satonobu Kikuchi (direttore d’episodio in Vinland Saga e Great Pretender). La sceneggiatura è curata da Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (Recovery of an MMO Junkie, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime), mentre il character design è ad opera di Hiromi Daimi.

ABCIEE WORKING DIARY - Dal 6 gennaio

Serie di corti animati da Fanworks (Aggretsuko), con protagonista ABCiee, la mascotte della rete televisiva Asahi Broadcasting Corporation.

ABCiee è un po' maldestro e stravagante, ma è tanto spocchioso da sognare un lavoro da sogno in una rete televisiva! È una commedia sul lavoro piena di ogni tipo di bravata! "Non avrei mai immaginato che fosse così difficile lavorare nella televisione!". Malgrado debba affrontare le regole nascoste della TV, colleghi peculiari e ospiti famosi con caratteri strani, ABCiee cerca di essere positivo. Lavoro, amore, famiglia e tutto il resto! Spero apprezzerete guardare ABCiee mentre si fa strada nel mondo dell'intrattenimento televisivo.

WIXOSS DIVA(A)LIVE - Dall’8 gennaio

Nuova serie animata del franchise WIXOSS, nato nel 2014 con l’omonimo gioco di carte collezionabili, che con questa nuova incarnazione vedrà un cambio di setting, spostando il gioco nel mondo virtuale conosciuto come Wixossland, all’interno del quale le giocatrici hanno la possibilità di diventare loro stesse le LRIG del proprio deck. Il formato di gioco più popolare è quello del Diva Battle, una modalità a squadre da tre Selector - a tema idol, dj o band - nella quale ci si affronta per vedere chi accumula più fan.

Gli scontri più famosi sono le DIVA BATTLES in cui varie squadre di tre persone gareggiano per scoprire chi sia in grado di accaparrarsi più Selector e più fan. Una DIVA, la leggendaria Eternal Girl, ha incantato tutti con l'impareggiabile forza delle sue canzoni e delle sue esibizioni. La matricola del liceo, Asu Hirana, l'ha sempre considerata la sua fonte d'ispirazione sin dalla sua tenera età e ora ha fatto irruzione nel mondo delle DIVA BATTLES per inseguire il suo sogno di diventare una delle migliori DIVA!

La serie è diretta da Masato Matsune (Chaos Dragon, Chronos Ruler) presso gli studi J.C. Staff (Danmachi, Food Wars).

L’anime è diretto da Hitoshi Nanba (Golden Kamuy, Gosick) presso lo studio Lay-duce (Fate/Grand Order: First Order, magi: Adventure of Sinbad). La sceneggiatura sta venendo supervisionata da Yoshimi Narita (Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta, Dakaretai Otoko 1-i ni Odosarete Imasu), mentre il design dei personaggi è a cura di Mina Ōsawa (Given, School Babysitters).

AXS TV Making Changes to NJPW on AXS in 2019: WK13 Will Be Shown Same-Day, JR/Barnett Out, Kelly/Callis In

Wish I’d caught this before when I posted but we’re here now. 

AXS TV has announced there will be some significant changes to how tbey are doing NJPW on AXS in 2019, including a change in broadcast team. 

First off, a two-hour same-day version of Wrestle Kingdom 13 will be shown on Friday, January 4, 2019, the regular broadcast day for NJPW on AXS. While that is news in of itself, the show will be announced by NJPWWorld’s regular English commentators, Kevin Kelly & Don Callis, and it seems they will be the regular announcers going forward. Meaning, basically, the very criticized team of Jim Ross and Josh Barnett (the latter of whom has been with the show since inception in January 2015, as color with Mauro Ranallo) is out the door as of January.
