The sequel to the TV anime "Mahou Tsukai Precure!" (MahoPri), titled "Mahou Tsukai Precure!! MIRAI DAYS," will begin airing in the late-night anime slot "ANiMAZiNG!!!" on ABC TV and TV Asahi (Saturdays at 2:00 AM) starting January 11, 2025. This will be the first time a "Precure" series is broadcast in a late-night slot. The catchphrase for the series is, "With the magical words 'Cure-Up Rapapa!', two times (mirai) connect now!" Details about the story and characters will be announced later.

This sequel is the second installment of a video project aimed at fans who grew up with Precure, as a new initiative of the TV anime "Precure" series that started in 2004.

The "Precure" series has traditionally been created for its main audience of children aged 3 to 6. However, as part of the 20th-anniversary initiatives, it has been developed under the concept of "providing content that fans who have grown up can continue to enjoy." Following the first installment, "Kibou no Chikara Otona Precure '23" (aired in October 2023), this sequel is being produced. "Mahou Tsukai Precure!" originally aired from February 2016 to January 2017 as the 13th installment of the "Precure" series. It is a miraculous and magical story connecting the "Magic World" and the "Nashi Mahou World" (Human World). The new official sequel will be broadcast on a network of 24 stations nationwide on ABC TV and TV Asahi, with each episode being 30 minutes long and totaling 12 episodes (the exact number of episodes is yet to be determined).

The "Precure" series began broadcasting on February 1, 2004, with "Futari wa Precure" and has continued to the currently airing "Wonderful Precure!" totaling 21 works. Additionally, 32 films have been released in theaters. The series deeply explores themes of friendship, bonds, and growth as the protagonists transform into the legendary warriors "Precure" to face formidable powers. Each year, new motifs, themes, and characters are introduced, continuing the series' legacy.
