Pretty Cure
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.
The latest movie from Toei Animation’s PreCure series showcases every single magical heroine from the series’ 14-year run. Let’s get dancing!
Pretty Cure is here to cure monotony in lingerie design with bra and pantie sets for Cure Black and Cure White.

When running a full marathon, you want to make sure you’re outfitted with the proper equipment, like supportive, well-cushioned athletic shoes, sunglasses to keep the glare out of your eyes, and, of course, a frilly anime magical girl skirt so you can cosplay as you run.
After years of living in Japan, I’ve noticed that the island nation has quite a few merry misconceptions about what it means to have a Western Christmas celebration. Replacing Santa’s cookies with a strawberry-topped Christmas cake is just one of their many mix-ups, though at least they have the gift-giving part right.
Now, you might be wondering why it is that we’re posting about Christmas when it’s barely even October! As it turns out, Japanese parents hoping to surprise their kids with a sweet treat from Bandai have to start planning for the holidays NOW. The Premium Bandai online store has just opened up reservations for their 2013 line of character-themed Christmas cakes called Chara Deco Christmas. These cakes come with toys and other neat treats suited to young fans of everything from Kamen Rider to Pokemon.
