Himitsu no Aipri is the title of the next anime in the Pretty series. The staff, the main cast, and the plot for the new show, which begins in April, were also revealed.
The main cast members of Himitsu no Aipri are Minori Fujidera as Himari Aozora, a shy girl who idolizes Idol Princesses (Aipri) and wants to make 10 thousand friends, and Hiratsuka Sae as Mitsuki Hoshikawa. Himari and Mitsuki are close friends and new students at Paradise Private Academy. Despite their friendship, both have a secret that they are withholding from one another (fittingly, the word “Himitsu” in the show’s title means “secret”).
Junichi Fujisaku (Loups=Garous) and Kentarou Yamaguchi (Punirunes) are co-directing the anime, which is a co-production between OLM and Dongwoo A & E. Park Chi Man, Nam Sung Min, Choi Hun Cheol, and Shin Gi Chuel are serving as chief directors. Gigaemon Ichikawa (A Galaxy Next Door) is the series composer, Yuuki Nagano (Youkai Watch: Shadow Side sub-character designer) the character designer, Satoshi Yangawa (Punirunes) the CG director, bransic’s Izumi Hayashi the music composer, and syn Sophia’s Hiromi Nashimoto (Waccha PriMagi!) the original character designer.
The Pretty Series is a multimedia franchise that started with a kids-targeted arcade game by Takara Tomy A.R.T.S. and syn Sophia in 2010. Since 2011, there have been multiple anime series and anime movies, including the King of Prism and PriPara titles. The franchise combines music, fashion, and magic.
