As far as magical girl anime shows go, few have fights like this.

Pretty Cure is a long-running animated series aimed at children—primarily, little Japanese girls. And when people think about Pretty Cure, perhaps images of enormous eyes and transformation scenes pop in their heads.

Online in Japan, the silly size of Pretty Cure characters’ eyes is a bit of a gag.

But! What people should think about is how friggin’ awesome the fight scenes are. Just because these are magical girls, that doesn’t mean they can’t put the smack down! Recently, a series of GIFs were uploaded to 2ch to remind people of how much power these gals pack in their punches.
