Futari wa PreCure

Aired: 2004 - 2005

A magical girl anime produced by Toei Animation, the groundbreaking first installment of the PreCure franchise. When the "Dotsuku Zone" attacks the Garden of Light in their quest to plunge the world into darkness, ordinary middle school students Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro encounter fairies Mepple and Mipple from the Garden of Light and transform into PreCure to fight back. Despite their completely opposite personalities and interests, the two join forces and deepen their bond through battle. Revolutionary for its genre with its authentic action sequences and friendship-driven narrative, the 49-episode series became a massive hit and laid the foundation for the long-running franchise that followed.
