At the same time, Toei offered subtitled versions of Futari wa Pretty Cure via IGN's Direct2Drive service. However, this dub didn't extend beyond this series.

After not using the rights, 4Kids surrendered them back to Toei in 2008.Īfter this, Toei sold the Futari wa Pretty Cure rights to Ocean Productions, who dubbed it and showed it in Canada and several other territories between 2009 to 2010 under the name Pretty Cure. However, the company didn't ever follow through with the dub for unknown reasons.

In 2006 the infamous 4Kids Entertainment acquired the rights to Futari wa Pretty Cure, the very first Pretty Cure series, intending to dub it. Pretty Cure has a complex release history in America, having been offered in many different forms and having several failed localization attempts. But since these installments, the franchise has avoided direct sequels. The only change to this format occurred with 2005's Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart and 2008's Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo! which were both direct sequels to the previous series. As each series exists in its own continuity and these continuities only cross over in the totally optional (and rarely localized) cross-over movies. You can simply pick a theme that interests you and watch that series. This makes it super easy to jump into Pretty Cure, as while it may seem intimidating on paper, you don't need to watch every series. For instance, 2021's Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure used tropical and ocean motifs, while the recently debuting Delicious Party Pretty Cure is themed around cooking. A new one begins with new characters and a new theme. This means that each Pretty Cure series is self-contained and runs for a year.

These new powers and abilities allow the girls to fight against evil creatures and organizations that threaten the world while also helping them make new friends and improve themselves.

Pretty Cure follows a group of girls who acquire special items that transform them into mighty magical girl warriors called Pretty Cures.
