I really hope this is a huge hit. It was a nostalgic favorite on Youtube but this is the real trial.

Really enjoyed watching this during Toei's summer streams last year.
Hope it finds even more fans!

I'm happy for all English-speaking fans, it's a shame that Toei only dubbed the first half of th eoriginal Futari wa Pretty Cure anime into Neutral Spanish, and that was done a long time ago, though most of the voice cast is still active, though at this point I doubt Toei will bother completting the dub and uploaded to Disney+, and speaking of Disney, in the Neutral Spanish dub Nagisa/Cure Black was voiced by Romina Marroquín Payró, who is better know for voicing Anna in Frozen, Judy Hopps in Zootopia, as well as voicing anime characters like Yor Forger in Spy × Family.

That dub is really bad and would need a redub, I wouldnt be opposed to Romina and even Nanelly Solis returning.

Those here might want to take note, despite the Americanized names, the dub is shown uncut. Japanese OP and ED, but from the looks of it, no preview, even though those have all been dubbed, which is sort of weird.

Thanks for the heads up!
I just checked, and I think this is new remastered footage! Toei must've synced the dub up to this new footage, which is why the Japanese Opening & Ending are now kept despite it being the dub.

This is actually really cool! It might be the definitive way to watch the dub now. During their streams last summer their video masters were really rough on some episodes. Anime smile + sweatdrop

All the visual edits are undone entirely too. Its not just the YTV footage with the original OP and ED.

It's Hulu and that's expecting too much.

This was a nice surprise. Despite the name changes to English, it was a fairly faithful dub in terms of translation.

Glad there's a way to introduce kids to Precure again, now that Glitter Force has been removed from Netflix. It's a shame that Toei's premiere series for little girls is so inaccessible to its intended demographic, most seasons being sub-only.

Well. Hulu will eventually merge with Disney+ fully. And Yu-Gi-Oh did score a place as the seventh most seen show on Hulu...

Ok you are right but I do hope its at least successful enough to dub at least one or two more seasons.

I have heard from a forum member at the Anime Superhero website that this is a brand-new dub of Precure. Are we right or wrong and why?

I’m glad to see the dub finally available officially in the US. I was glad to catch it during the Toei Summer Splash streams but it’s good to have it in a more reliable availability and with better masters. I wonder if Toei will eventually add the Doremi dub too? Is this also available to Canadians as it’s on Disney+ too but they don’t get Hulu in Canada?

It is USA only so far. But I really want Canada and ESPECIALLY The UK to get it too.

So glad to hear this news. I too watched the Toei Summer Blast. Unfortunately it was pulled right when I got to the last 2 episodes. *dashes over to Hulu*
