Does the Sky Have Limits? A Hirogaru Sky! Precure Overview
Part of the long-standing Pretty Cure franchise, Hirogaru Sky! Precure marks the franchise’s 20th installment. With the series currently airing and available on Crunchyroll, fans are eager for news about a possible second season. The anime, directed by Hiroshi Ogawa and written by Ryunosuke Kingetsu, first premiered on February 5, 2023. The series features a captivating ensemble cast, including Sekine Akira as Harewataru Sora and Nanase Ayaka as Hijiri Ageha, among others.
The Unfolding Journey of Sora Harewataru
The plot orbits around 14-year-old Sora Harewataru from Skyland. With a desire to be as legendary as Captain Shalala, who once saved her life, Sora follows Princess Ellee through a mysterious portal to Earth. It’s here she transforms into Cure Sky, fending off enemies from the Underg Empire. But what can we expect if a second season were to materialize?
To Renew or Not to Renew: That’s the Question
As of now, there’s no official word on the renewal of Hirogaru Sky! Precure‘s second season. However, given the pattern the franchise generally follows, a second season seems improbable, at least before 2025.
What Critics and Fans Are Saying
The anime hasn’t gone unnoticed. With an IMDb rating of 8.1 and a MyAnimeList audience score of 7.69, Hirogaru Sky! Precure is undoubtedly turning heads.
However, some critics point out that the series’ themes of women’s empowerment might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
What Could a Second Season Bring?
While nothing is confirmed, there’s no harm in speculating. A potential second season could delve deeper into Sorashido City and introduce new allies and enemies. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves; the creators are tight-lipped, and with the first season still in the pipeline, the future remains a cloudy sky.
Where Can You Catch Hirogaru Sky! Precure?
If you’re looking to join Sora on her quest, Crunchyroll offers a 14-day free trial, after which a subscription is required. With the series likely to conclude in January 2024, a Crunchyroll subscription seems like a wise investment.
In the Absence of a Manga
Since Hirogaru Sky! Precure is an original anime series without a manga counterpart, fans must rely solely on the anime for the unfolding story. Thus, pinning hopes on a manga sequel might be futile.

We learn more about Ageha, get a good teacher moment from her, and have a fun time. There was a fun and even kinda cool action scene at the end. Great episode, pretty stand Hirogaru Precure stuff, but that's what makes it great. Ageha's speech was pretty cool too pic.twitter.com/Jk6zCL6Gql

Final Thoughts
While the possibility of a second season seems faint, the show still has much to offer. With its first season set to conclude in 2024, we’ll have to wait and see if Hirogaru Sky! Precure breaks the Pretty Cure franchise pattern or if it wraps up as a stand-alone marvel.
