Comment on the news post here
I notice we're not getting many downloads, so I'll try to talk up the series for new people. Ostensibly, this is a shoujo anime, but a lot of dudes watch shoujo anime if the circumstances are right. See Sailor Moon as an example
In addition to loads of cuteness and darling mascots as well as silly day-to-day life circumstances, we also get strong heroines who get in physical brawls with the monster of the week. Like it's not coincidence that people who watch Kamen Rider also like Precure, the show airs right afterwards if you've noticed. Anecdotally, I joked about combining the Super Hero block of Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Precure into a single file to force people to check out all the series
The characters are genuinely likable. Marine's manic nature is a good match for Blossom's shy, earnest girl. Then we have somber, tragic Moonlight. There's also a good firm cast of reoccuring support characters which help to really define the world. The villains are fun to watch too. Dark Precure is moody and mysterious, the three commanders are stereotypes of extreme manliness, metrosexual, and hysterical woman
Overall the stories are pretty earnest. There's usually a message, but it rarely feels heavy-handed or condescending. It's pretty good at sucking you into caring about the week to week conflicts, plus there's long-term conflicts that are ongoing which are interesting
And if that's not enough, the girls are really cute too
