Toei-Animation recently announced that the next iteration of Pretty Cure will begin in Spring of 2018 titled Hugtto Pretty Cure.
My first experience with Pretty Cure came with the current season Pretty Cure A La Mode as my daughter had just gotten old enough to get into it.
This is normal for the Pretty Cure franchise which reboots with new characters, plot lines, and merchandising opportunities every year.
At first, that might seem like a crass assessment of a show aimed at little girls, but if you’ve watched Pretty Cure you’d quickly find that it’s not unwarranted.
