ABOUT:Secret Jouju is a long-running Korean animated series with two notable reboots. The first part (s1-7) follow Fairy Jouju who turned herself into a Human princess in order to experience the life she usually granted to non-magical girls. The series follows Jouju's attempts and eventual success at regaining her power, learning to be a Princess, and saving a Prince. In order to success, Jouju must attend Princess school, and follow the Secret Diaries instructions, completing difficult tasks with the help of her new friends and limited powers. At the same time, there's rivalries and those who intend to stop her. The soft reboot (s8-13) follows a new Jouju. This one is princess of the fairies, until a bad spell bound her to the human realm. Jojou and her friends must discover how to return Jouju to her rightful place, and use their magic and wits to fight and evil witch who intends to stop them. Both original series feature the same base cast, similar plotlines, and repeat several of the mini-arcs. The latter series has a much larger cast, and better CGI, but isn't as funny. The third series - titles Guardians of Star - is totally new. A new Jouju journeys across the realms to collect the 11 Godess Stars. She's joined by a totally new cast of friends, a guide-cat/fairy. At the same time, she attends a regular human school and has her own human aspirations, which is something the previous incarnations lacked. STATS:LANGUAGES: Korean (sub & dub), English (sub & dub, both incomplete) LENGTH: 16 Seasons STATUS: Ongoing CONTROVERSY:This is the first season & sequel of the magical girl meta series Precure.

ABOUT:In Futari Wa Precure, Nagisa and Honoka, two very different girls attending the same middle school, encounter the fairies Meeple and Mipple who - when the girls show courage - give them the power to become Pretty Cure. Unfortunately, the two can't use it unless they're together! As Pretty Cure - also known as Precure and Cures - the two must fight against the Dark Zone, preventing the evil that overtook the Fairies' world - the Garden of Light - from taking over Earth. In order to succeed, they must collect prism stones, which can restore power to the Garden of Light. In Futari Wa Precure Max Heart, Nagisa and Honoka discover a young girl named Hikari, who will change the course of the series. The three must collect Heartiels to restore her power, as well as face returned enemies. This series is one of the earliest to use action heroines, particularly with superhero-styled, physical combat battles. While it may seem old-hat to new viewers, it was truly revolutionary and unique at the time it aired. STATS:LANGUAGES: Japanese, English sub (both), English dub (Original only) LENGTH: 49 + 47 STATUS: Completed WHO SHOULD WATCH IT: Both long-time Precure fans and those brand new to the genre will find a lot to enjoy about this series. There's also minimal romance across the franchise - most of which are crushes - so it's perfect for anyone who dislikes a love story! SIMILAR SERIES: click the purple titles to read more!
