HappinessCharge Pretty Cure!

or Happiness Charge PC, is a 2014 Japanese magical girl anime series produced by Toei Animation, and the eleventh installment in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure metaseries, released to celebrate the franchise's 10th anniversary.

The series' main topic is love, with fashion styles and dance moves as the Cures' motifs.

It features trading cards, mirrors, and changing forms as important key elements.

The evil Phantom Empire (幻影帝国, Gen'ei Teikoku), led by its ruler Queen Mirage, and its generals begins its invasion of Earth with Choiarks and powerful monsters called Saiarks.

After receiving a Crystal of Love from the spirit of Earth, Blue, who tells her to find a partner to fight alongside her, Hime goes to the city of Pikarigaoka (ぴかりが丘) and throws the crystal into the air, deciding to partner with who it lands on.

It lands on Megumi Aino, a kind-hearted girl always looking to help others, who becomes Cure Lovely and is recruited by Hime to fight with her.

The Pretty Cures are legendary Warriors of Light chosen by Blue, the spirit of Earth, to protect it from the Phantom Empire.

In addition to transformation, the PreCards can be used to change outfits in and outside of battle, providing new powers and abilities, and are said to grant a wish to those who collect enough of them.

Cure Honey uses the Triple Dance Honey Baton (トリプルダンスハニーバトン, Toripuru Dansu Hanī Baton), while Cure Fortune, who previously used the Love PreBrace, uses the Fortune Tambourine (フォーチュンタンバリン, Fōchun Tanborin).

They can also use the Shining Make Dresser, Axia's true form, to perform their group finishing attack, Innocent Purification.

The Cures have another transformation called Innocent Form, with a design that resembles Japanese idols, through the power of the special PreCards.

Having conquered the Blue Sky Kingdom after Hime released them from Axia (アクシア, Akushia), they use it as their base of operations while invading Earth by having their Saiarks terraform the environment and replace love and happiness with sorrow and misfortune.

Blue has given girls around the world the power to transform into Pretty Cure to fight the Phantom Empire.
