yes and also the heartcatch precure movie is one of the best anime movies ever made and i wanna watch the most recent season at some point cause it apparently got ridiculously good and featured an openly gay couple


glitter force is too hacked up from the original to have subs, they chopped out eight episodes from the season and awkwardly rearranged a few scenes

I've not seen Precure since DokiDoki but like, Suite Precure and DokiDoki already had a lot of gay overtones and subtext. I'm surprised Kirakira would have openly gay Precures though.

It's still the usual "daisuki" plausible deniability stuff. Even at the end of the episode Yukari says she hasn't felt "true love" yet.

But it's as much as they can probably get away with.

Mahou Girls was pretty blatant-to-the-degree-they-could-do-so about Mirai and Riko's relationship too.

They're more blatant about it at stage shows and stuff, there's one that has an outright running gag about their wedding invitations. That's 'official' but obviously less scrutinized, so

Also, pirate go princess pretty cure for your daughters

I recommend Dokidoki. I understand it's divisive, but it's my favorite series even years later.

Shame the Glitter Force version totally takes a bat to everything good about it.

I thought Glitter Force was an adaptation of Smile? My main problems with Doki are down to it basically being the Mana show and then Cure Ace was an obnoxious brat.

There’s two Glitter Forces, for Smile and Doki Doki.

Glitter Force Doki Doki cuts things to a bigger degree than the one for Smile did, chopping up several episodes into a single one. This has the result of an episode where the team getting their final power up and finishing move getting cut, so the next episode that they DO keep having it show up out of nowhere.

A lot of the character focus episodes end up getting axed, too. Like I don’t really mind Dokidoki’s focus on Mana or think it’s as bad as people say (Mana doesn’t even get a focus episode for her final solo attack), but if what was there bothered you, GF is worse about it. Rachel/Rikka gets the worst of it, along with every episode where she had significant interaction with her best friend getting removed entirely.

But they managed to keep the episode where she rescued Ira.

Hmmm. Funny, that.

s1 and r are pretty solid and so far, outside of like one really bad ep, sailor moon s is one of the best shows i've ever seen

I still think happiness charge is cool. It was also my first precure so apparently I’m in the minority for liking it since it seems less liked than other entries for whatever reason.

it's very episodic but also really fun. though the series does have some weird moments wrt lesbianism, so maybe talk to your daughters about that kinda stuff depending on their ages.

yeah there's a pretty messed up episode early on in s where half of it is spent on everyone giving mako poo poo for potentially being gay cause it was handled by a different director from most of the rest so you might wanna make it clear how hosed up that ep is if they're young

it's awkward cause almost every other episode of s has some bit where usagi crushes on haruka

also, you know, it has haruka and michiru

there's also an earlier ep that has a line from usagi about how it's 'better to fall in love with a guy, anyway' when she's trying to let a girl with a crush on her down gently

Yeah we've made it clear that it's okay for girls to kiss girls etc.

No problem as long as it's not like how I can't show them Monster Squad nowadays because every other word is "human being". Which is actually very accurate to how real kids talked in the 80s, but...

it's pretty cure's 15th anniversary, so they had a poll on best series

quote:

1: Go Princess Precure
2: Futari Wa Pretty Cure
3: Heartcatch precure
4: kirakira precure a la mode
5: smile precure
6: maho girls precure
7: fresh pretty cure
8: yes pretty cure 5 and yes pretty cure 5 gogo have like, basically the same amount of shows and are basically the same series so
9: futari wa pretty cure max heart
10: doki doki pretty cure
11: suite pretty cure
12: futari wa pretty cure splash star
13: happiness charge pretty cure

as an internet poll promoted mostly on twitter its pretty obviously weighted towards older fans (see: futari wa ranking so highly even though most young fans werent even alive when it aired) but i thought it was interesting
