Hmm... Alice Girls must run on a slightly different schedule than Precure. Let's do a little thinking.
The Precure crossover movies always come out about a month and a half (i.e 6-7 episodes) after the show starts (which is invariably the first Sunday in February). Let's say that Shiny Heart got her powers and beat her first monster in the first episode (as opposed to having it stretched over the first two, a la Cure Blossom), and Star Tail and Cat Eyes got theirs in episodes 2 and 3. That means that the first episode he saw was, at the very earliest, 4. Since the Precure crossover movies typically come out between 6 and 7, and they start advertising for the movie in the show itself around episode 5, that means he started watching the show on a weekly basis, collected the figures, went to the live event, and was made aware of the movie in the gap between episodes 4 and 5 - clearly impossible. Alice Girls must do their crossover movie further into the series' run... a shame, since the Precure ones have a nice "passing the torch" thing going in theirs thanks to happening so early.
In the realm of "this doesn't make sense when I look way, WAY too far into it", Alice Girls * Shiny Heart is clearly the 7th series, judging from that shot of what I assume to be the seven heroines of the different series so far. If that's the case, then the series would be celebrating its 6th anniversary, not it's 7th... unless one (and only one) of the previous series ran for two years instead of one (Precure had two early series that ran for two years). Either way, given the above logic of this series clearly being a good ways in (I'm guessing it's in the teens, given that they usually add a new heroine in the early twenties), then it'd be odd for them to be celebrating an anniversary at this point - if the show runs year-round, and they start the new one immediately after the old one ends (like Precure), wouldn't the anniversary land right at the premiere of the new series? I could understand celebrating it throughout the year if it was a big milestone like 10 years (which is exactly what HappinessCharge Precure did, BTW), but 7?
The heroine to the left of Shiny Heart couldn't be more Cure Rhythm if she tried, and the one to her right resembles Cure Lovely in Lollipop Hip Hop form (just with the bow in the center instead of off to the right). And the one behind Not-Cure Rhythm has a giant ponytail with rounded-plus-shaped earrings - like Cure Blossom. Lots of references! Although I'm a little surprised there's no clear Cure Black analogue in there - they all have long hair.
