Welcome to Precure Views

Hello, longtime Mahou Shoujo fan but relatively new Precure fan here. I created this blog so I can air out some of my thoughts, views, and reactions as I'm watching Precure episodes and movies. Spoilers will be duly noted.

To give you some background, I started magical girls watching back in the '90s with Sailor Moon (1992-1997), and watched the original Futari wa Pretty Cure (2004) series, but kind of dropped off the wagon.

I started up again here in 2013 with Dokidoki! Precure, and also just finished binge-watching Smile Precure (2012). I'm now going back in reverse-chronological order to watch earlier Precure series and movies; next up is Suite Precure (2011) and the Precure All Stars New Stage movie from 2012.

I have some familiarity with the Japanese language, so I'll also bring in some commentary and possibly fanart from Japanese sources as well.

よろしくお願いします！Let's all get along, OK?
