Wonderful Pretty Cure! (Japanese: わんだふるぷりきゅあ!, Hepburn: Wandafuru Purikyua!, Wonderful PreCure!)[a] is a Japanese magical girl anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It is the twenty-first installment in the Pretty Cure franchise and its first entry with a title written in hiragana.[2] It is directed by Masanori Sato and written by Yoshimi Narita, with character designs by Yoko Uchida and costume designs by NaSka.[3][4][5] It began airing on all ANN stations in Japan on February 4, 2024, succeeding Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure's timeslot. The series' main theme is bonds and its main motifs are pets and animals.

Story

After the magical realm of Niko Garden is attacked, its animal inhabitants are corrupted and transformed into eggs. In Animal Town, where humans and animals live together, middle school student Iroha Inukai is walking her family's dog Komugi, who finds a stone-like object. When one of the eggs hatches into a monster called a Garugaru that begins rampaging, Komugi's desire to protect Iroha resonates with the Mirror Stone and causes the stone to transform into a Wonderful Pact, which grants her the power to become human and transform into a Pretty Cure. She purifies the Garugaru and returns it to its original form: a Niko Animal named Mey Mey. He tells her and Iroha what happened to Niko Garden and that they must purify the Garugaru and return them to Niko Garden. Together with Iroha, Yuki, and Mayu, Komugi works to save the Garugaru and Niko Garden.[6]

Later in the story, the Gaou-tachi, a pack of vengeful Japanese wolf spirits, are revealed to be responsible for attacking Niko Garden and transforming its inhabitants into Garugaru, as they seek revenge against humanity for causing their extinction.

She is curious, athletic, and gluttonous, and loves to go for walks. When a Garugaru attacks her and Iroha, Komugi's desire to protect Iroha resonates with the Mirror Stone and transforms the stone she found into a Wonderful Pact, allowing her to transform into a human and into Cure Wonderful. After gaining the ability to transform into a human, she is able to talk to Iroha and loves to imitate her catchphrase, "Wonderful" (ワンダフルー, Wandafurū).

When she was younger, she met Yuki at an abandoned house when her family traveled to a village in the mountains for her father's job. Although the villagers told Mayu that Yuki did not trust humans, she bonded with her during their stay and decided to adopt her so that she would not be left behind. After Yuki reveals her true identity to her, she comes into conflict with her when she tries to prevent her from being friends with Komugi and Iroha.

Development

The series' trademark was first confirmed by Toei in November 2023, and the official website launched on November 30, 2023.[58] The series was fully revealed on January 7, 2024, along with Toei announcing merchandise related to the series.[59]

The theme of animals was confirmed by ABC producer Kanako Tada, who explained that "Nowadays, it has become common to bring various animals into our homes, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. For me, dogs are important companions. Irreplaceable animals that shower us with great love... Although they may not speak the same language, there is probably an indescribable bond between animals and their owners." He said the theme is also connected to the bond between humans and its pets as an animal becoming a Pretty Cure for the first time, stating "In this Pretty Cure series, the main character, the dog Komugi, changes into a human form, She speaks with its owner Iroha in human language. We will then communicate our feelings to each other and deepen our bond. However, in the real world, animals and humans cannot communicate with each other. Komugi's lines spoken in this work are beyond the realm of imagination. "This is what the dog is probably thinking." You may worry that this is just the human ego. However, precisely because we cannot communicate with each other, we need to think deeply about the feelings of animals. The important thing is to make an effort to get to know the other person. I believe that after that, "compassion" is born, wishing for the other person's happiness. The most important thing is to understand each other without imposing your feelings on others."[7]

Maki Takahashi of Toei Animation said that the theme of bonds is important, as is the relationships between the main characters: "The theme of this work is the bond with animals. Think about someone important to you and act accordingly. The relationship of "family" and "best friends" is the same for both humans and animals. This idea is reflected in our catchphrase: to dream, never giving up, standing up on your own feet, sharing with your friends, believe in your friends, act for someone and thinking about someone. The power of the feelings depicted and connected in the history of Pretty Cure. Even if we look different, even if we don't speak the same language, if we have a caring heart, it will definitely reach our hearts. We will carefully depict such a "Pretty Cure" appearance through the bond with animals."[7]

The lead characters' voice actors released statements discussing their roles. Maria Naganawa stated that "I never thought that I would become a Pretty Cure, so I felt like I couldn't believe it. Immediately after that, I burst into tears with so many emotions: happiness, desire to do my best, and gratitude." Atsumi Tanezaki, who previously voiced Puca in Pretty Cure All Stars F stated that "When it was decided that I would be appearing in the movie Pretty Cure All Stars F, I was very happy and honored to be able to work on Pretty Cure, but I never expected that I would be given this opportunity in the TV series as well. I watched many Pretty Cure characters in the movies, and felt the bond that everyone has created over the past year in each series, from the characters to the cast members. When I was recording for the movie, I couldn't see it with my eyes, but I could definitely feel it, and I was so jealous that I was so happy, and I thought, oh, I can do that too..."[60][61]
