Pretty Cure
Cures Wonderful, Nyammy, and more characters from the hit series are headed to McDonald’s Japan in two batches of toys.
Magical woman Cures get special food, drinks, and exclusive merch for fans who grew up with the series.
Adult PreCure’23 Power of Hope could be the for-grown-ups version of the magical girl anime that veteran fans have been waiting for.
Just because you’re not a girl anymore doesn’t mean you have to leave the magical girl adventures behind.
The PreCure franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary while looking ahead to its newest arc.
Cash in the mail to pay for kids’ Christmas gifts supposedly comes from Demon Slayer and PreCure stars.
Unlike the other franchises picked to be Tokyo Olympics spokescharacters, Pretty Cure is represented by many characters!
These Bandai band-aids come with an app that lets Super Sentai or PreCure characters wish away the pain. Aww!
Hugtto! PreCure’s final episode has aired, and only truly draws to a close after we see the protagonist as an adult screaming in labor pain.
The future looks bright for this budding artist, who made over 50 of the core PreCure cast out of acrylic beads.
Dialogue in new Nintendo Switch video game is just fine for little kids, but “a form of harassment” for older fans.
Given the massive number of live shows this franchise has put on, it’s no surprise they don’t always go off without a hitch.
