Whatever order you want to. Just jump into one of the Precure anime you think looks good. There isn't a required viewing order as each series stands up on it's own. Although there might be a few cameos from previous precure characters now and again and if you're interested in watching all the movies as well, then it's basically a requirement to have seen Precure from the beginning to know all the characters.

The only one i finished was Heartcatch Precure, so i recommend that one in particular.

Of the earlier seasons, Futari wa, Fresh, and Heartcatch are probably the best-regarded. I don't know much about the reception of the newer seasons.
Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut.

Why people are always ignoring the rule of the thumb - watch in release order.

It's doesn't work only in very few cases like Suzumiya Haruhi or the last two Votoms OVAs.

I'd start from the beginning, with "Futari wa Precure." It's still one of my favorite Anime, because Cure Black kicks ass.

You can really start anywhere you want in Precure as every series aside from Futari wa Max Heart and Yes GoGo are stand alone entries.

I'm curious, why doesn't the release order method work with Haruhi? I thought the series was meant to be watched in a non-chronological order?

Which precure series don't have references to other series? Eg I was annoyed when in Hugtto characters from other series jumped in. Had only watched Heart catch which did not have any crossovers. Or was Hugtto an exception due to the 15th anniversary?
I don't mean the movies, only the TV srries

@Dreamingbeats
I see. Thanks

Because the TV station messed up the intended non-chronological order for the first season and rendered the series a bit more chaotic, a bit hard to understand (but not much) and spoiled some surprises...
Thus there are 3 orders - the TV releasee order, the intended TV order and the chronological order. I like better the chronological order.

You can watch them in any order you want aside from the Yes! Precure 5 and Futari Wa series since they have sequels the other ones don't and are placed in their own universe so you're good if you pick any of the ones that appeal to you. Well Huggto does have a crossover ep but this is due to it being the 15th anniversary installment of the franchise hrm there's also the allstar movies which have characters from different series into one so ye you'll need to watch the other ones to at least get a feel for it.

hugtto was an exception, but it may or may not happen in the currently airing star twinkle.
before the opening in the first few episodes of happiness charge, the previous cures appear and say a congratulatory message for the precure 5th annoversary, but otherwise dont appear in the actual series.

starting with mahou tsukai precure, the last episode show a glimpse of the upcoming precure series.

regardless of which series you start with, i recommend eventually watching yes!, splash!, fresh!, heartcatch! and suite! in addition to futari, they are the girls featured in the first 3 collab movies (Precure All Stars DX). Smile, Dokidoki and Happiness Charge! appear in the movies Precure All Stars New Stage, which are also fun to watch.

Futari wa Precure and Max Heart are the most bland seasons I’ve seen, so I actually would not recommend starting there.

It’s not that they’re bad. They’re decent, but unless you’re already into mahou shoujo pretty heavily and know you have the patience, you’re better off starting elsewhere. Even if you’re looking for a more traditional mahou shoujo experience, I’d recommend starting with Fresh instead of Futari wa.

It’s like telling people they have to watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam before they can watch anything else in the franchise; it’s neither necessary nor necessarily advisable. It depends on the individual as to whether it’s a good idea.

Edit: Also, this is completely unrelated, but I just realized your username has an L instead of an I in it. I’ve been incorrectly reading it with an I sound for ages. .-.

Well but the OP didn't ask for recommendations which PerCure titles are worthy and which are not.
He simply asked how are they connected and is there any specific order to watch them all.

And it's like the 1000-th post "In which order should I watch X?". I am curious why people don't assume by default that the release order is their safest bet?


TripleSRank said:

Actually this is a valid idea because everything after upgrades on it or references it...It's even mandatory to watch it first (preferably the movies version) or The Origin (self-explanatory title) if said person is interested mainly in Universal Century.
But if someone tells you "This franchise is huge, could you recommend me something from it that is self contained and could demonstrates its powers?" yes you can do some more specific recommendations.

Also Gundam is way more diverse franchise than PreCure (which is mainly mahou shoujo + sol):
- real robot military action shounen, but some UC titles switch to seinen (IGLOO and Thunderbolt)
- super robot battle shounen (Fighter G Gundam),
- shoujo-ish stuff (SEED)
- sports (Build Fighters and Divers)
- kodomo (SD Gundam)
- ect
Navigating in it's a bit confusing and external help would appreciated. PreCure is more straightforward and easy to start.

Yes, some people make this mistake but I don't think that pronouncing it correctly is that important.
