Futari Wa Pretty Cure - The debut outing of the franchise.

There have been a total of 20 main Precure series, two of which are considered sequels to the preceding series. Most future Precure series after the initial two would be standalone series unrelated to each other, with entirely new casts of Precure girls and villains each time. This series was met with critical acclaim, and eventually received a second season titled Futari wa Pretty Cure: Max Heart. Drawing much inspiration from Sailor Moon and other classic magical girl shows, the Precure franchise made its debut in 2004 with the first series, Futari wa Pretty Cure. The Pretty Cure franchise was created by Toei Animation, a famous Japanese animation studio who also worked on popular anime franchises such as Dragon Ball, Super Sentai, Digimon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Sailor Moon.

This has led to Precure to be compared to 'what would happen if Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z had a baby' and has earned the franchise a cult following among older male viewers outside the target audience. Precure is also notable for having battle scenes that are much more based on hand-to-hand combat rather than colorful magical abilities. Rather than be a deconstruction of the genre like Madoka Magica and other recent series, Precure sticks to a similar 'bad guy of the week' format that was popular among classic magical girl shows such as Sailor Moon or Cardcaptor Sakura.

Precure is notable for being one of the very few current magical girl anime that play the genre straight. While mostly marketed to young girls with its magical girl cuteness, the franchise also has a large fanbase of older viewers. It has spawned (as of 2023) 20 different series, as well as multiple movies and video game spin-offs and a long line of toys. Pretty Cure, or Precure for short, is a popular magical girl anime franchise that was created by Izumi Todo and adapted by Toei Animation.
