Are you referring to Hime and Megumi, or to Blue and Phantom?

Clearly not referring to Megumi because she's pink and owns.

Megumi would own if maybe she wasn't competing with Hime!?!?!?

Nah; eyebeams, Megumiman and all her songs rock. Keep on trucking, Cure Lovely.

Hime and Megumi obviously. I really don't get why pink is the "main" precure here when Hime is just infinitely more interesting.

So next week are we finally going to find out what Hime did that was so bad and why Fortune hates her so much?

Next week we are going to once again face the true terror of the worst animation director Toei has on staff (he did episode 10).

And also maybe that. Fortune considers Hime responsible for the downfall of the Blue Sky kingdom and the invasion of Earth, so either she's mistaken about something or Hime really hosed up. I will laugh if its something similar to how Chibiusa was responsible for the fall of Crystal Tokyo in Sailor Moon R.

That's a lot of Precure to watch.

Now that I think of it, what's the best way to manage viewings of seasons that have already been finished? One episode a day, an entire arc in one sitting, cram it all down in through my pupils, :confused:

This would be Heartcatch I'd be thinking about watching. seen suite and first half of smile

I'm no expert on the best way, but I find that passive rapid absorption works for me.

7 episodes into futari wa pretty cure, this was 2004? Kinda seems dated now, comparatively. So far though it's good but uninspiring. You've got the two girls with different personalities, every ep there's a monster, they fight it for a bit and then kill it with stock footage.

E: I'll be sure to come up with synopses for the OP when I get far enough.

I'm also watching all the Precure. Splash Star has some nice music. The Opening's infuriatingly catchy. Goddamn it, Precure, I don't need more Earworms. I had a hell of a time getting the music from Cardcaptor Sakura out of my head. :argh:

Toei hasn't had money for precure for at least the last two seasons. Or animators or whatever. There was some speculation that Sailor Moon was the reason, but obviously that doesn't seem to be the case. Happiness Charge has had some really terribly animated episodes, but overall it's a good, fun show.

Yellow is always the best Cure, and Lemonade is still the best Yellow.

I am really sad at how little Yuuyuu has gotten to do overall in Hapuri. But they gave her the best attack so it's almost like Alice all over again.

Pretty sure you misspelled Peace there. Man, Smile Precure was ridiculously silly and was one of the weaker plots of the show, but it was absolutely gorgeous and that team is one of the best.

I'm so sad that Peace and Lemonade didn't actually do anything together when they were running around in New Stage 3.

There was a lot of great stuff in the background, like the robots from that one episode of Smile show up a couple of time.

I really liked First Precure, it was very physical with the fight scenes (hi DBZ director). Nagisa and Honoka complement each other very well and it has one of the most sympathetic villains in the series. It also has a nifty theme where fighting bad guys takes a toll on their personal lives (which the ED drives home).

I've been slowly making my way through the movies, and just got to New Stage 1. That was the best All-stars movie so far, and may have even been better than the Suite movie.

The New Stage movies are pretty fun. Though by now all me and my friend do during the crossover movies is point out to each other which Cures get more screentime than others, and who actually gets to speak and so on.

Also, he hates the miracle lights portions so I have to make sure I cheer on the PreCure twice as hard to make up for it.



Yes, this episode! The Miyuki Robo itself wasnt there, but the other two were.

The animation looked pretty good this last week, but that was a really boring resolution to everything.

Coming up this weekend it looks like we're getting characterisation for some of the international Cures, which seems fairly exciting.

Their new outfits in the new ending are all exactly the same, with all four colors on each of them. I wonder if this means some sort of fusion power is coming.

I really don't care for the design with the four half skirts, but if it's not going to be used for some sort of Mugen Silhouette form it's going to look really boring with them all wearing the exact same thing. My hopr is it's an ED-only costume.

I'm guessing it's the Super Silhouette equivalent and they're all the same because the staff don't want the show to look lazy when a ton of generic precures we've never met before get drawn wearing it at some point during the inevitable multi-part finale.

That makes a lot of sense, actually. It never occurred to me that the international cures might have a role in the finale at all.

Yeah, that's a pretty good reason to make them all look alike. The international cures have some pretty entertaining designs at least.
