Hugtto! PreCure

Hooray! Hooray! PreCure! This week we get our introduction to the
long-running shoujo franchise by watching Hugtto! PreCure.


The Anime Research Group is a weekly podcast about all the anime
we never got round to watching. Episodes contain spoilers for
early episodes of the shows, and ill-informed speculation on
future episodes.  There are a few instances of cursing.


You can find us on twitter @research_anime . New episodes are
coming every Thursday.


This episode was recorded on September 16th, 2020.
