Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star (ふたりはプリキュア Splash Star, Futari wa Purikyua Supurasshu Sutā), often shortened simply to PreCure Splash Star, is a magical girl anime series produced by Toei Animation that aired on TV Asahi between February 5, 2006 and January 28, 2007. It is the third series in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries, and follows a new story different from the previous two series that features the second generation of Cures. The series is directed by Toshiaki Komura, who previously directed Kinnikuman Nisei. The character designs were done by Akira Inagami, who previously worked on the character designs for the previous installments. The series' main motif is based on Nature, with its concept deriving from the Japanese idiom "flower, bird, wind, moon" (花鳥風月, kachōfūgetsu), which symbolizes the beauty of nature and the traditional themes of natural beauty in Japanese aesthetics.
