>Also in terms of Precure,

I have watched most of the Precure series and know a fair bit about the others. I'll put my recommendations in a few categories.

For the best overall series writing, including making good use of theming, character development, and satisfying set-up and payoffs for multi-episode arcs: Fresh, Heartcatch, Go! Princess, Healin' Good.

If you're willing to overlook a bit of inconsistency in overall series plotting as long as you have solid character writing and interactions, then you can try Smile, Star Twinkle or Tropical Rouge.

Finally, if you want to see some awesome over-the-top magical finishers, you'll want to take a look at Suite or Happiness Charge (but see caveats below).

I also have a couple of caveats.

I you don't like to be unpleasantly reminded of Akio Ohtori by a male character who is notionally a "good guy", avoid the following:

Yes! Precure 5 and Gogo! (when your love interest is also your teacher, and *also* your adorable tanuki mascot)

DokiDoki (I swear officer, I am coincidentally always in the same area as these teenage girls and giving them mysterious presents for entirely wholesome reasons)

Happiness Charge (it's fine that I am constantly watching these teenage girls and making demands about their love life, I am a guardian deity. no I will not button my shirt all the way up)

And this is a very minor one but if you dislike bratty little kids (even younger than the usual protagonist) who are important to the plot, both Suite and DokiDoki have that.
