Dumb Futari Wa Precure question for Japanese/high level weebs: do school children actually play lacrosse much in Japan? Here in the US it's mainly a northeast regional thing, and was even more so back in the 90s. Just curious why they picked it for Nagisa's thing.

They are full members of the international Lecrosse Leagues.

In Japan it's mostly seen as a girl's sport, especially among middle schoolers and high schoolers, so it makes sense that they'd pick it as the sport of choice for a character in an anime aimed at girls.

Yeah, I don't think any of the Sailor Moon movies have any direct plot connection to the series itself so as long as you know who Chibiusa and the Inner Scouts (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) are you should be fine. How far along is the current redub of the 90's anime anyway? I haven't been paying much attention to it but might check it out when they get to Sailor Stars (which I believe will be the first time ever that that particular season is available in English).

SatoshiMiwa posted:I still want to see Crystal do the Stars portion of the manga as a straight adaptation just for the sheer wtf nature If I remember right, the last half of the manga is absolutely insane and there's even some things the 90's anime didn't adapt so it might be worth seeing for that reason alone. I also hope the upcoming movies (which might still end up getting broken up into episodes anyway ala Digimon Tri) are just a fluke and the final section will return to the TV format, I kind of doubt it though.

So lets look at some of the Hugtto Manga chapters since the first volume is out. I'm sure it'll be all nice and .... https://twitter.com/aers00/status/1027881812301762560 Twins sure have been taking the Precure manga places over the last few years

Out of curiosity, are most of the Precure mangas just straight adaptions of the shows or do they usually add/change some stuff?

It used to be a mix until the Go Princess manga and than they switched to being completely their own thing and it's also at the point that the Twins really started to let loose. I mean we got this page in last years Kira Kira manga and the whole chapter it was in is amazing

Out of curiosity, why is it that Precure never really became a thing in the west (Sailor Moon is still fairly popular here after all)? Outside of the original show getting a Canadian dub and currently being the only Precure show available on Crunchyroll (though in this case I think it's better if you tracked down the fansubbed version as the one on CR is just a step above HK subs as far as translation quality goes) and Smile being adapted by Saban into the ill-fated Glitter Force nobody seems to really want to touch the series.

It's because Toei. They have very backwards ideas out of what they want localizations of their stuff to be. They held off on licensing Dragon Ball Super because they wanted a TV deal where kids could watch it and then just gave up. I imagine they expected Glitter Force to be a bigger deal but Saban couldn't find a network and did the two seasons to fulfill a contract.

They also tried to get something going with 4kids and og pretty cure but the utter disaster that was One Piece pretty much slammed the door on any future collaborations between the two companies (like the choijin games arc of Ultimate Muscle) right on 4kids’ face. Not that ether side is particularly innocent in that (or any) matter. 4kids should have read the room and maybe worked with Toonami when they got the show to air it alongside Naruto’s then groundbreaking TV-PG dub (or, failing that, trying to go with a hard TV-Y7 like UM, TMNT and Shaman King) and Toei should have known better than to think trying to make One Piece a Saturday Morning Cartoon with the content restrictions that had was any sort of good idea.

plus western TV execs have only gotten more and more gunshy about content for young girls. Young Justice literally got cancelled because girls liked it.

SatoshiMiwa posted:I also remember some Sailor Moon fans at the time looking at Precure as a Sailor Moon rip off too which probably hurt it To be fair, stuff like Cardcaptor Sakura and Madoka also came out here and did fairly well as I recall (even if the original dub of the former was so hacked up that a lot of fans flat out consider it a separate series) so it's not like there isn't a market for Magical Girl stuff in the west (Precure is also one of the youngest incarnations of the concept as it's only been around since 2004). But point taken, also as mentioned western TV execs seem a lot more hesitant these days regarding content aimed at girls so it might be too late to start bringing it over now. There's also the question of what series you'd even start with as far as a potential dub is concerned (I'd personally say the original as it's more action heavy and, as has been mentioned before, it's basically DBZ for girls).

I think Toei honestly tried to get the first one going over here - they had an English web site directed towards potential licensors, and they screened dubbed episodes at Anime Expo 2007, before the official dub existed - but then when it didn't take off the way they were hoping they kind of just gave up entirely. I believe Precure might have gotten off the ground in Italy, at least for a few seasons. I've seen Italian dubs of Fresh on Youtube. And yeah as mentioned the West (North America at least) has a weird hangup where magical girl shows are automatically "Sailor Moon ripoffs" unless they're substantially different.

Paul Dini mentioned it in this interview https://io9.gizmodo.com/paul-dini-superhero-cartoon-execs-dont-want-largely-f-1483758317 Girls either don't buy stuff or buy the wrong stuff which doesn't shock me as that opinion comes up a lot in US anime fandom

Insane business practices all over. Does that mean that if having 5M boys watching a show and buying the merch is "doing good", then having 5M boys + 3M girls watching but the girls only buying half as much merch as the boys, that's "doing bad"? Even if, simply removing all the girls, it would be "good"? The total sales is still higher?!?

That just means increased ratings and more money for them. How exactly is that a bad thing?

You're asking that of an industry that has one channel filling its schedule to far beyond capacity with one show at the expense of everything else and had another spread out a two season show over four years against everyone else on the insistance that this leads to better ratings somehow. The fact that they're possessed of any wit at all to the conclusion of to come to the idea of "girls iz less muny" should be heralded as a miracle.
