“Pretty Series” is an anime series based on a kids amusement game jointly developed by Takara Tomy Arts Co., Ltd. and SinSophia Co., Ltd.
Starting with the development of the amusement game “Pretty Rhythm Miniskirt” in 2010, the TV anime “Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream” began broadcasting in April 2011, followed by “Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future” and “Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live”. It was broadcast for three years. After that, the worldview changed and “Pripara” and “Idol Time Pripara” were aired for a total of four years, and “Kiratto Pri☆chan” was broadcast for three years. Also, from October 2021, “Whatcha Prima Magi! ” was broadcast for one year, and even after the anime ended, the amusement game “Watcha Prima Magi! It continues to develop as a studio.
The “Pretty Series” has inherited the consistent concept of
“supporting everyone’s dreams” while changing its form into various works. In addition to games and anime, the series has attracted support from a wide range of people through its development of movies, live performances, plays, and spin-off works.
And now, from April 2024, we will be launching a new content in the Pretty series, “Secret Ipuri”. The anime will begin broadcasting on the six TV Tokyo network stations, along with amusement games and toys.
“Himitsu no Ipri” is a content that adds the essence of “secret” to the concepts “singing, dancing, and fashion” that have been cherished by the “Pretty Series” so far, and makes children’s “want-to-be” and “transformation” come true. In the story of the TV anime, the main characters jump into a “secret world” in order to become the idol princess “Ipuri”, and various stories unfold. We aim to project this worldview into the real world with an amusement game equipped with a new sensation of live games and a toy series that allows you to experience “transformation” and make children’s dreams come true.
The TV anime “Himitsu no Ipri” will start broadcasting on the network of 6 TV Tokyo stations from April 2024.
