Pretty Cure (プリキュアシリーズ), also known as PreCure (プリキュア, Purikyua) in Japan and Glitter Force outside of Japan, is a Japanese magical girl anime franchise created by Izumi Todo and produced by Asahi Broadcasting Corporation, Asatsu-DK and Toei Animation. Each series revolves around a group of magical girls known as Pretty Cures who battle against evil forces. Starting in February 2004 with Futari wa Pretty Cure, the franchise has seen many anime series, spanning over 700 episodes to date, as well as spawning movies, manga, toys, and video games. Its most recent iteration, Hugtto! PreCure, began airing in February 2018 as part of TV Asahi's Sunday morning children's television block. To date, three of the series have received English-language dubs. In 2017, Toei Animation acquired the Glitter Force trademark from Saban Brands.[1] In 2018, Hasbro acquired the rights to the names and the brand.[2][3][4][5]

Overview

Each of the series focuses on a group of teenage girls, mostly Japanese schoolgirls in their second year of middle school or any of these three years in high school, who are granted special items that allow them to transform into legendary warriors known as the Pretty Cure (or Precure). With the assistance of creatures known as fairies, the Pretty Cure use their magical powers and enhanced strength to fight against evil forces and organizations who create monsters to bring misery to the Earth and further their plans. As these series progress and stronger enemies appear, the Cures gain new magical items, new abilities, and sometimes new allies to help them in their fight against evil.

Main series

There are currently fifteen anime television series in the franchise, two of which are direct sequels to their previous series. To date, three series: Futari wa Pretty Cure, Smile PreCure!, and DokiDoki! PreCure, have received adapted English-language dubbed releases under the names Pretty Cure, Glitter Force, and Glitter Force Doki Doki respectively. Each series has received a manga adaptation illustrated by Futago Kamikita, which is published in Kodansha's Nakayoshi shoujo magazine alongside the anime.

Live-action drama

Main article: Koe Girl!

A live-action series, Koe Girl! (声ガール！, Koe Gāru!), began airing in Japan in April 2018, celebrating the franchise's 15th anniversary. The series follows a group of aspiring voice actresses and stars Haruka Fukuhara, who voiced Himari Arisugawa/Cure Custard in Kirakira PreCure a la Mode.[17]

Musicals

Musicals are on stages since around the time Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart began airing on February 2005, and they are very popular. They don't usually have special names like the movies or games, and they are performed in theatres, or live stages. The main idea is that the singers (or sometimes just some random people) dress into Cures (they have their clothes on, while they have a large head on too, so no one can actually see their faces) and they perform their character songs or/and they perform short stories. These musicals are often made for children between the age of 5-9, and they sold merchandise on these musicals too. The musicals are often 2 or 3 hours long, depending the series and/or the songs'/stories' length.

Video games

Several video games have been produced by Bandai Namco Entertainment (formerly Bandai) for video game systems and educational consoles, as well as ongoing Data Carddass arcade machines.
