This is the fourth year since I've started watching the Pretty Cure franchise as it airs, but I've
never
been so hyped for the new series like I am for Tropical-Rouge Precure premiering today. The first episode just dropped on Crunchyroll and VRV, and it looks fantastic already. The character designs, the wild colors, the energetic vibe, and the opening... my god, just the opening already makes it look so damn fun.

Coming off the heels of the much more subdued (and unfortunately mediocre) Healin' Good Precure last year, this high level of "chaotic dumbass" energy is exactly what the franchise needed. Just looking at these adorable dorks puts a big smile of my face, and I have the feeling that Tropical-Rouge Precure will be putting a smile on my face every week for the next year or so. If anyone here has had a mild interest in trying out the Pretty Cure franchise, or simply likes magical girl anime in general, this is as good a time as any to give it a shot.
