Glitter Force Doki Doki is currently streaming on major platforms, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Hitomi Nabatame — stay for everyone else around them. Start it whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Glitter Force Doki Doki is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Glitter Force Doki Doki from the crowd. Thanks to Sharuru, a fairy from the Trump Kingdom, and the power of mysterious accessories called Cure Lovies, Mana transforms into Cure Heart! Mana, her close friend Rikka, her high-class childhood friend Alice, and the enigmatic, cool super idol singer Makoto all become legendary saviors. Together, they purify the Jikochu, who have forgotten about love! Hitomi Nabatame and Minako Kotobuki lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It first aired in 2013–2014. Glitter Force Doki Doki earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Glitter Force Doki Doki respects your intelligence. Fans of Sailor Moon will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Hitomi Nabatame's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
