DokiDoki! PreCure[5] (Japanese: ドキドキ!プリキュア, Hepburn: Dokidoki! Purikyua, lit. "Heart-Pounding! PreCure"), is a Japanese anime series produced by Toei Animation and the tenth installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries, featuring the eighth generation of Cures.[6][7] The series is produced by Hiroaki Shibata, who produced Digimon Data Squad, and written by Ryōta Yamaguchi, who wrote the scripts for Sailor Moon Sailor Stars, Cutie Honey Flash and The Vision of Escaflowne. Character designs were done by Akira Takahashi, who previously did character designs for Suite PreCure. The series aired on the ANN network from February 3, 2013, to January 26, 2014,[8][9] replacing Smile PreCure! in its timeslot, and was succeeded by HappinessCharge PreCure!.[10] An animated film based on the series was released on October 26, 2013. This series' main topics are love, emotions, selflessness, and selfishness, with playing card suits as the Cure's main motifs.
Saban Brands produced an English dub of the series, Glitter Force: Doki Doki, which abridged the original forty-nine episodes to thirty. Although the Glitter Force trademark was transferred to Toei during production in May 2017, Saban Brands was credited with the production of the English dub.[1] The first fifteen episodes began streaming on Netflix on August 18, 2017.[11] The second season, also consisting of fifteen episodes, was released on November 10, 2017.[12][13] DokiDoki! is the third installment of the series to receive an English dub and the second and last English adaptation under the Glitter Force brand, as well as the last anime to be dubbed by Saban Brands following the company's closing in June 2018. As of June 14, 2018, Hasbro owns the rights and names to the series and brand, along with other Saban Brands entertainment assets.[14][15][16]
The international English dub will be removed from Netflix on November 9, 2024 alongside Glitter Force.[17]
