Pretty Cure 1.5

Pretty Cure 1.5 (プリキュア1.5 Purikyua 1.5) (Also known as Pretty Cure 15 in some cases) is a Japanese magical girl anime series and the eighth installment of Nina Atsuiaka's Fanon Pretty Cure franchise. It started airing on February 5th, 2019, succeeding Fantastic Pretty Cure! in its initial timeslot. The main themes are dreams, ambition, destiny, and choice.

Plot
Veronica, Susanne, Matilda, Lily, and Trinity meet again at a high school after an incident at an MMORPG game they played. They find out that it's infected with a virus that is spreading across the town, and it isn't just an illness.

Pretty Cures

 * Veronica Hayes - Veronica is the most popular girl in school. Contrary to the movies but very similar to real life, she is that way not only for her looks but for being very sweet and considerate. She can get a bit envious, though. Her alter ego is Cure Destiny and her theme color is white.
 * Susanne Delgado - Susanne thinks she has seen things she can't get away from. Her parents had a divorce recently and she is being taken care of by her mother. Her alter ego is Cure Moment and her theme color is blue.
 * Matilda Gonzales - Matilda is quite the dreamer. She has dreams about flying and telekinesis. This gets in the way of studies though, as she keeps staring into space. Her alter ego is Cure Astral and her theme color is purple.
 * Lily Schoening - Lily is scared of being accused of doing something wrong. Either if it is doing something morally wrong or even copying the acts of good-doers. She thinks nobody likes her and that's she's an introvert, but it's actually quite the opposite. You see, Lily is an ambivert. A doubtful one, yes, but she has a balanced social life. People like her and she doesn't get bullied often. Her alter ego is Cure Original and her theme color is yellow.
 * Trinity Hirsch - Trinity is not interested in most things. The only thing she cares about is her academics and surpassing requirements. Susanne usually listens to others for her own safety, making her very easily manipulated. Her alter ego is Cure Forever and her theme color is pink.

Hoshitochi

 * Phillip Garland - Phillip made the Hoshitochi game. Literally.

EVE Antivirus

 * Detective Norton - Detective Norton scans things.
 * Sleuth - Sleuth is Detective Norton's dog and he scans hidden things.
 * Beth Norton - Beth is Detective Norton's wife. She deletes all the things she can delete on an infected computer or a corrupted person.

Rogue Suite

 * Roger Shirley - One of the main villains. A recycled character from Chojo Gensho Pretty Cure! used after the character of Shiroi Chloe was changed from a male to female. The male counterpart's original concept is being modified and used here. Roger would usually get people's private information by making them install the "Rogue Suite" Antivirus app. He's also stealing the user's soul. He could possess the user and turn them into a Corruption, most commonly using them as Trojan horses. Considered the worst out of the five bad guys because of his use of emotional manipulation. He is the anime equivalent of scareware.
 * Lana - Lana is a pretty girl at school. She is very egotistical and would try to steal the spotlight from Veronica, which makes Veronica easily jealous of her. She's so popular because she's so rich, according to Matilda. She gets all of that money from stealing other people's information on the internet and selling it. She also uses her mature appearance to get money. She is the anime equivalent of ransomware.
 * Amalgamation - Artificially created corruptions fused with clones of Cure Destiny, Cure Moment, Cure Astral, Cure Original, and Cure Forever made to collect information from computers, mostly without the other person's consent. They use social engineering to get their way. They are the anime equivalent of spyware.
 * Corruption - The monster summoned by the villains almost every week. They are possessed humans or electronics. Most of them can be compared to trojan horses but some Corruptions break this mold.
 * Multiply - Multiply is a monster that can replicate itself to a computer to either completely erase or control it. It is only made to target only one computer, so it is easier to control than, let's say, a worm. It is the anime equivalent of a computer virus.
 * Divide - Divide is a monster that can replicate itself to spread to other computers. It is only made to spread, so it won't do as much harm as, let's say, one single virus, but only by a little bit. Being strong and secure is the best way to avoid Divide. It is the anime equivalent of worm viruses.
