About Pretty Cure
Pretty Cure is a long-running magical girl franchise where each yearly series introduces a new team, a new setting, and a self-contained story. Almost every series stands alone, so you can start anywhere, but release order is the safe path through the few direct sequels.
Good to know
Only three pairs connect directly: the original series to Max Heart, the fifth series to its GoGo sequel, and Witchy to Mirai Days. The All Stars crossover films assume you know the teams involved, so save them until after the matching series.
