HappinessCharge PreCure! is the eleventh anime television series in Izumi Todo's Pretty Cure franchise, produced by Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and Toei Animation, celebrating the series' 10th anniversary. The series follows Hime Shirayuki, the Princess of the Blue Sky Kingdom and Megumi Aino, a girl chosen by the Crystal of Love. Together with the guidance from Blue, they became the legendary warriors called Pretty Cure in order to collect all the PreCards and stop the Phantom Empire from taking over the Earth. The series aired in Japan between February 2, 2014 and January 25, 2015, replacing Dokidoki! PreCure (later replaced by Go! Princess PreCure) in its initial timeslot. The opening theme song is "HappinessCharge PreCure! WOW!" (ハピネスチャージプリキュア!WOW! Hapinesu Chāji Purikyua! WOW!) by Sayaka Nakaya. The ending theme for the first 26 episodes is "PreCure Memory" (プリキュア・メモリ Purikyua Memori) by Hitomi Yoshida, whilst the theme for episodes 27-49 is "Party Has Come" (パーティ ハズカム Pāti Hazukamu) by Yoshida. The first 34 episodes also feature special "10th Anniversary Congratulatory Messages" performed by one of previous Pretty Cures in the franchise, including the HappinesCharge Cures themselves.
As Pretty Cures all over the world fight against Saiarks, minions of the evil Phantom Empire led by Queen Mirage, Himelda "Hime" Window, also known as Cure Princess, feels downhearted after losing yet again to the Saiark, having to be bailed out by another Cure named Cure Fortune. Blue, the god of the universe, gives Hime a Crystal of Love so that she can find a partner to fight alongside her. Excited to be able to have a friend, Hime decides to randomly throw the crystal to decide her partner, which randomly lands on a girl named Megumi Aino. Hime, along with her fairy partner Ribbon, follows Megumi as she goes about her shopping, helping others when they're in trouble. As Hime makes her presence known, Megumi becomes awed by her fashion sense and decides to become friends with her, but is taken aback when she is suddenly told to become a Pretty Cure. Just then, one of the Phantom Empire's commanders, Namakeruda, traps Mao, the younger sister of Megumi's childhood friend Seiji Sagara, inside a mirror, reversing her happiness thoughts to create a Hat Saiark. As Hime struggles to fight against it due to her fear, Megumi steps in to protect her, stating that even though she herself is afraid, she will never put her own safety before others. This awakens her potential and turns the crystal into the Pretty Change Mirror, allowing her to transform into the PreCure, Cure Lovely.
