Maho Women Precure!! ~Mirai Days~ (also referred to as Witchy Precure!! ~Mirai Days~) is the second case of the Precure franchise making a direct sequel anime that options its heroines a few years after their unique tales. Whereas it could be a bit unfair to match this collection and Precure Full Bloom, their diverging approaches to portraying their respective characters as adults is noteworthy for the way they hook up with the idea of “youth” and all it entails.
Ever because the finish of their unique story, heroines Asahina Mirai and Izayoi Liko have every been residing within the non-magical and magical worlds respectively. Mirai is a school pupil now, however she additionally continues to secretly use her witch powers to assist individuals because the mysterious “Maho Woman.” Liko has change into a trainer at her old-fashioned, coaching a brand new era of magic customers. When a brand new enemy threatens each worlds, the 2 reunite to change into Remedy Miracle and Remedy Magical as soon as extra.
To me, the most important distinction between Full Bloom and Mirai Days could be summed up within the transformations. Whereas the Sure! Fairly Remedy 5 and Fairly Remedy Splash Star women revert again to their center college selves when remodeling, Miracle and Magical stay adults. Within the former, the facility of Precure is locked to the youth of the previous, however within the latter, that energy continues ahead.
One facet which may have influenced these diverging approaches is the truth that they’re concentrating on totally different age demographics. Sure! 5 and Splash Star are round 10 years older than Maho Women, and meaning one sequel is concentrating on girls round 30, versus these nearer to twenty. Thematically, the primary group are adults worn down by society and the conflict between the dreamy beliefs of your youth and the harshness of the “grownup world.” In distinction, Mirai and Liko must combat those that need to stay in a great previous the place they felt happiest.
Even then, I appreciated the best way Maho Women did it much more. I need to see how adults may look in magical outfits, and the way they might carry their life experiences of their actions. Why can’t we see girls of their mid to late 20s (and past) present process full, correct magical transformations that acknowledge their maturity?
