Precure Series Ranking

I've done the cures now time for the series themselves, all 22 will be ranked today.

Precure as a franchise doesn't do bad, at worst it's okay at best it's in my top ten so I rate none of these entries as bad.

22. Wonderful Precure
They really dropped the ball with this one, Precure was built on the foundations of it's cast being able to throw a punch and removing that element doesn't make it a Precure. Doggo Precure or not.

21. Fresh Precure
Precure prides itself on it's influences and likes to pay homage to them, especially if certain staff worked on other shoujo series, however Fresh takes so much that it can't stand as it's own show, the influences are hard to ignore and are distracting not helped by the fact it was released in the genre's stale years.

20. Healin Good Precure
Beautiful setting in a very plain environment. Largely uneventful for Precure and very stale and a very stupid ending.

19.Futari Wa Precure Max Heart
Shiny Luminous wasn't really needed as the duo were plenty strong enough as characters to not need support, too many episodes made this season drag.

18. Yes Precure 5 GoGo
Season fatigue was the problem here, a near 100 episodes of the same team is just too much and never found any real boost from Precure 5.

17. Delicious Party Precure
The plot is back to basics but hardly ground-breaking.

16. Precure Full Bloom
An opportunity to showcase former Yes Precure 5 and Splash Star Precures as adults, great idea that failed to stick the landing, 20 years of Precure and still no adult Precure, at least effort was made.

15. KiraKira Precure A La Mode
This series made the homage so obvious you could almost call it plagiarism but at the very least it's still colourful and the characters although familiar to magical girl veterans were fun.

14. Doki Doki Precure
Contains two of my least favourite precures and one of my least liked villains and possibly worst costumes, but there is some entertainment to be witnessed.

13. Hirogaru Sky Precure
A season that plateaued hard by mid season but ended better than it had any right to, it brought alot to the table but ultimately never hit it's true potential.

12. Tropical Rouge Precure
A laid back offering with not much agency in the plot and utterly dominated by argubly the best Precure ever made.

11. Star Twinkle Precure
The story wrote itself into a corner that they never recovered from but at least it was fun.

10. Suite Precure
It's position after Heartcatch gave it the impossible task of trying to recapture the same glory but I found myself loving the art style along with a certain guitar haired Precure.

9. Precure Splash Star
I can't ignore the fact that the two Precures can easily be mistaken for the original duo but the fighting set a high standard to follow.

8. Yes Precure 5
I've grown to appreciate this season more but again, so many cures that I don't rate highly.

7. Mahou Tsukai Precure
The best duo since the original pair along with the most beautiful Precure. Strong in characters, weak in setting.

6. Go Princess Precure
The most fabulous Precure, no, Magical Girl series ever. Every transformation produces an ever bigger dress, it's pure unapologetic fun.

5. Futari Wa Precure
The first season is showing it's age but there's no denying that without it, the franchise would not reach such heights.

4. Hugtto Precure
Anniversary year aside, this is proof that Precure still has a place in the world, packed full of the most heart warming, emotional scenes Precure has ever had.

3. HappinessCharge Precure
This was when Precure was at it's most creative and deserves more praise than it gets.

2. Smile Precure
The last two I consider the seasons that best represent Precure. Fun, colourful, memorable precures, memorable villains, not afraid to get silly yet deliver an experience worthy of it's name.

1. Heartcatch Precure
Same reasons as Smile only this series is in a different league altogether. Every good quality that the franchise has is showcased here in Heartcatch, this season will never be topped.
