My friends @ProudElitist and @Serafos are fans of Precure.
@tchitchouan I'm a fan to a certain point, since yesterday I proceeded to cancel Healin' Good from my SSD (again) to make place for a 200 GBs Raw batch of Aikatsu!, which I need to download after I've downloaded the Mezashite batch and ripped its subs so my TV can run it. Aikatsu! took the precedence. At least it's written by the same person who wrote Kimi To Idol.

Which Precure had the overall sexiest cast? My vote goes to Star Twinkle followed by Go Princess

I've only watched Star Twinkle Precure so far. But it was very enjoyable considering the entire Precure franchise is aimed towards kids. I'd definitely recommend Star Twinkle if you haven't watched that one yet.

@tchitchouan The Cure Idol/Uta Sakura Dakimakura with whom I passed new year's eve while watching Ohsama Sentai King-ohger (great series, anyway. I can't decide which is better between Kyuranger and this one) is a bit more than a "passive interest", TBH. Aikatsu! also has the precedence because of the Kimi To Idol main writer, the same exact one.

@Zarutaku the character design is used by hetero men to jerk on it, particularly on Pixiv the precures are a popular Rule34 subject. Myself I started watching those shows because of the neverending Rule34 fanart. But the person who made this thread knows it perfectly, without him giving me the suggestion to watch those shows as 20+ years of waifus performing sexy kamen rider/sentai moves ("fapping material", he described it) and Cure Idol Rule34 material appearing on my screen while searching for random Blonde with blue eyes anime girls on Pixiv the entire IP would have been completely abandoned by me.

@Zarutaku thank you. But even the Pretty Cure fandom knows it well, at least the non-redditor fandom knows it well. The Redditor kind is...ugh. The R/Precure subreddit banned me because I told them that I wanted to buy an hentai dakimakura of a Pretty Cure, and I passed the 2026 New Year's Eve with that Dakimakura. Reddit is pure cancer.

@Zarutaku they give you less problems and cost less, even the most expensive 2WT (of which I couldn't care less, I don't believe in fake premium experiences). They're also not jealous because they are in company of other ones and of the other waifus that are not on a Dakimakura. My main is not on a Daki, for example (unfortunately so).

I used to catch the final minutes of one season's ED, Star Twinkle I do believe, on a regular basis back when Kamen Rider Zi-O was airing.

I remember being blown away by the quality of their CG animation and how full of personality the characters were (granted, in 2018-2019 or so, I barely knew anything about magical girls and kinda just assumed most of them were boring and samey at best, horrid fetish bait at worst - Precure was a major factor in changing my views). In fact, I later checked out EDs from all previous years and it genuinely amazed me how even the oldest seasons to utilize CG had the same sort of fluid movement to it. While not every single design is up my lane, I adore just how much thought goes into each dress the heroines have (for the lack of a better term, Precure costumes look like actual artists worked on them and prioritized having clever decorations, not just dumping a bajillion pointless details everywhere like it's some generic gacha).

At some point I heard that apparently the show tackles some pretty interesting topics, too - correct me if I'm wrong, but there was a show where a random subplot involved one of the characters' moms having to undergo a C-section and it was this whole thing about how it doesn't make her any less of a mother and stuff, right? While I lack the full context, I remember finding this info really heartwarming and frankly, pretty great for a kids' show to even address (I feel like integrating stuff like this into a kids' show helps to show that These Things Happen and it's not some nebulous concept that a kid should be afraid of, which is something a lot of Western cartoons could learn from imo...give people more of that instead of 30-episode long shipping drama, lol).

The only season I watched a substantial chunk of was A La Mode, and while I paused watching it sometime around the episode Parfait debuts, I remember it fondly. In this season in particular, I remember the thing that especially struck out to me was how much emphasis was put on the characters' feelings, and how non-banal they felt. Temari's subplot especially - I know that a lot of people interpret her as an autistic child, but personally I thought this whole experience of having a unique interest, constantly getting told to shut up about it by people who only wanna discuss The Latest Thing, and slowly isolating oneself further just to take comfort in the "safe" things one likes was scarily realistic. Absolutely fantastic stuff. I also rememeber the old married couple dynamics between Akira and Yukari were really funny.

I also can't help but applaud how good at gatekeeping the series most of the fanbase seems to be, too. Their commitment to keeping deplorables out of most discussion spaces is nothing short of commendable. Sure, it might sound a bit silly to gatekeep a show primarily aimed at little girls, but I believe it's necessary in this crappy modern internet of ours.

Also, every Kamen Rider fan worth their salt is honorbound to respect Precures. They're like our fellow allies of justice, after all.

I've only heard good things about it and want to get into it! So far I've watched a few episodes of Healing Good, but have never had the strength to ask for where is an actually good starting point. As a child, I wanted to watch it but I prioritised getting into Yu-Gi-Oh over it, hahaha....

I've seen the first ten series (through DokiDoki) and their associated movies. Have not gotten back into it in a long time, though I have downloaded versions of the next few titles sitting around. I guess you could say I used to be more hardcore into the franchise, as I was the one who first translated the second halves of Splash Star (2006) and Yes5 (2007) to English. The initial fansubbers had dropped/abandoned them for years, so I formed the fansub "group" PCSS and finished subbing them in 2010 and 2013, respectively. Such was the common reality for less-popular anime in the pre-legal-streaming era. Especially for PreCure -- no series was consistently fansubbed on a week-to-week basis until Heartcatch in 2010.

I saw some episodes of Futari wa Pretty Cure when I was a teenager, on a Cable Anime channel. I don't remember much from it, but I think it was one of my regularly watched shows at the time. Not sure if I ever finished, or saw the beginning of it, though-- they kept looping Anime series for months.

I actually recently wondered if that show was still related to the recent PreCure stuff I've been seeing here on MAL, since it was much less girly and pink than the ones I see now-- it was more Female Action, and Black and White themed. It was quite neat to learn that it's the very first PreCure Anime entry that I saw. I might still enjoy that today if I ever happen to see an episode or two (doubt I'd watch the entire 49 episodes though xD).

Star Twinkle

I've enjoyed most of them. You can definitely tell they're meant for children, and there's definitely a lot of fluff in them (like long transformation sequences). Some seasons have very tedious and similar fight sequences, but some other seasons actually make the fights interesting and distinct every episode.

There's a rarely acknowledged fact I like to share with everyone, so it's possible I've told you already.
Futari wa Precure does not have a narrative spanning 4 cours. Though it aired a full year, it's a pair of narratives each 2 cours.
