Precure All Stars New Stage: Mirai no Tomodachi

I thought all the three other Pretty Cure All Star movies were the best movies I've ever watched. I just watched this one yesterday and I thought that this Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage wasn't all that good.

Though, like always, the art of this movie is really good so I'll give it a 10, no mistakes or mess-ups.

The story was alright. It was touching too so I'll give it a 7 because it's also kinda like too cliche. At least, for me.

For sound, it was all right. Though I've heard things about the sound not matching the subs or was it because of the site I was watching it from. I looked and it looked like it didn't match the characters speaking. So I'll have to give it a 6 at that.

CHARACTER. This is the part that got me disappointed about this movie. It's good that Smile Precure made their appearance in this movie, but it was all about them as well as Suite Precure and Ayumi. The Veteran Precure made an appearance, but they didn't even get to meet the Smile Precure. All they pretty much were were cameos. Except Heartcatch and Fresh who met Smile and Ayumi, the main protagonist of the movie. Speaking of Ayumi, she turns into a Cure named Cure Echo which barely did anything. She didn't fight or anything, she just talked to her friend named Fu-chan (Fusion) then turned back to her normal form. I expected to see a lot of fighting scenes in this movie as well as all the Cures getting all together like the other All Star movies and turning to their Super forms from the cheering and unleash some huge attack. All of this is why I'll give it a 6.

As for enjoyment, it was good movie. I'll give it an 8.

Overall, I'll give this movie an 8. It has flaws in it, but it's very cute and very good! read more

I know that people may hate a bit of spoilers but I guess I just warn you first that I may reveal a bit that you may not want to know.

Firstly, was the story. In my point of view it was something unexpected. It was focused on a special character for the movie rather than the latest pretty cures(in this case, Smile Precure). That made the story a bit interesting cause its not that I don't like to say Pretty Cure fighting monsters and stuff, its just that I hate to keep seeing them a lot in the movies repetitively like the Pretty Cure DX 3. It seems that Toei have decided to change for something new and see how the fans would to accept it or not and how they react. Sadly as I know, many people do not seem to enjoy it and even say that Pretty Cure are getting from good to bad.

I put these down to the fact that there are no speaking lines for Max Heart, Splash Star and 5 Go Go and I do agree with. It was quite a disappointment but I always look for a brighter side in every anime I've watch(to avoid biasness). In the brighter side, they change the story differently and for the first time, an old villain turn nice to that special character for the movie.

And also they change the opening which I prefer. I'm starting to get sick hearing the same song at the start of every All Stars movie(but I still like it).
Only the ending was something I don't like cause they use Smile Precure Ed. Should Toei have made another new Ending Song? But I pretty much like the new opening anyway.

Thus I would say the overall was actually quite good to the fact they change for something new and want to see how fans like it or not(though I know many are not happy with it). But I love to see all those old group transformations for the latest 4 groups and their weapons which I miss them. (I only watch up to Heartcatch Pretty Cure by the way) So in overall I think the movie was great and scored better than the DX movies and the enjoyment was good.

In conclusion, if enjoy something that are different that are usually is and also want to see Smile Precure in action(if you haven't watch the series yet), then you better watch this one then. If you a hater that have watched this anime /movie or someone who like to see the old precures and fighting, don't watch this one which I highly recommended for this group of people. I'm trying to be fair in both ways so that many people can be at an advantage from this review. read more
