posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Toei Animation posted a "A Message for Passing the Baton from Cure Precious to Cure Sky" video last Sunday. Toei Animation has been posting similar videos in the past before a new Precure series premiered.
In the above video, Cure Precious thanks the audience for being with her for an entire year, and then introduces her new friend Cure Sky, who explains that a hero eats a proper breakfast every morning.
The final episode of Delicious Party♡Precure aired on January 29.
Soaring Sky! Precure stars:
- Akira Sekine as Sora Harewataaru/Cure Sky, the Precure of the heavens
- Ai Kakuma as Mashiro Nijigaoka/Cure Prism, the Precure of light
- Ayumu Murase as Cure Wing, the first male Precure
- Ayaka Nanase as Cure Butterfly, a Precure who has recently become an adult at 18 years old
- Aoi Koga as El
The motif of the new anime is "sky," and the theme is "hero." The story set in two places with Precure girls: the heavenly realm Skyland and Sorashido, a city surrounded by nature. One day, Skyland's young Princess El was snatched by a monster of the Underg Empire. Sora Harewataaru, a brave girl who aspires to be a hero, follows the princess into a mysterious hole — and emerges in another world at the city of Sorashido. Sora encounters a second-year junior high school girl named Mashiro Nijigaoka and ends up living with El at Mashiro's home.

Ryunosuke Kingetsu (Futakoi Alternative, Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!, Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc and the Alchemist Knight) is in charge of the series scripts, and Atsushi Saitō (Love Live!
