Not as good as the previous episode but still pretty good. It was sad that Brian had to leave so soon. I'm surprised that Akane didn't actually say that she liked him. Of course, I don't think that would fit into Precure very well and having her say "Thank you" was a nice enough ending.

I don't think anything will be topping the Robotaa episode anytime soon. Still a good episode though.

A love story! HHNNGGHHH!!! Let the yuri fandom go on raging, but I think I like the Brian x Akane paring. I love the soundtrack in this and the montages of the times spent with Brian with the PreCure friends and Akane personally. I'm not sure if a "foreign exchange student" trend is populated on every PreCure season, but this is SOO my first for me! (And because I am making my magical-girl OC a foreign transfer student as well.)

While the Akane episodes are good, this strikes pretty well with a flaming sword! <3

the chase scene was awsm. Sure it was clieche and I could see the end of the episode far away but it was stil touching. Is smile precure the only shoujo series, where the girl falls in love with a nerdy looking guy? Usally they always have to put their glasses of, so that the girl sees he realy is the one. Glad they didn't went there with this series.

Not a bad episode. I tend to prefer these sentimental types over the comedy ones. And I hope I get to see that flame sword again. Anyway, if it isn't going to start setting up a finale soon, this will probably be the most lighthearted precure show to date.

Wasn't really as good as previous ones, but the action scenes were good. Flaming sword was great, cause I really don't like the vibrators they usually use in the series.

Are you talking about the OP visuals? That's just a preview for the Smile Precure movie. They did something similar for Heartcatch and (i think) Suite. The movie will probably have different villains.

Oh man oh man oh man that was beyond fantastic Smile Precure. Holy crap I was grinning like an idiot through the whole episode. I'm still smiling. That was the best episode of anything I've watched in a very long time. There are so many things they did that was amazing. I couldn't help but instantly identify with Brian. He pretty much looks like I'd expect I would if I was animetized, and he loves Okonomiyaki. Guy has his priorities straight. I love how the girls all banded together in their own way to help Akane get to the airport. I loved how Nao reacted to trying to act out a confession. I loved the subtle hints of broken japanese Brian used. I love how this episode really brought my appreciation of Akane way up. I love that it did just enough to portray a middle-schooler's hatsukoi without getting campy. I love that they could appreciate each other without it needing to instantly be love. Oh man I love this show. The next episode looks to be pretty awesome too. Reika and Akane weren't really doing much for me before now, but it looks like that's going to be all taken care of in the next week. gaaaah why do you do this to me Smile Precure.

Is it just me or did they re-record their transformation sequence?

Now that you mention it, it did seem a little different, but I'd have to go back and re-watch - I tend to zone during the transformation sequence.

I doubt I'll be able to do as well as he did when I go over there next month.

I really liked Yayoi's face when she thought Akane liked Brian. And then it was hilarious how the four tried to pair them up.

However, I have to say I cringed at both Japanese and English being spoken with accents.

They can always see each other though. She can travel anywhere through a bookshelf.

Love Akane's eps! Although she didn't confess, it was a sweet end. Brian was a cool guy, being very open-minded to try new things. I'd feel better if he said he would visit Japan again.

Yayoi's expression was so funny when she was speculating about Akane's love too.

I am now a BRIAN X AKANE fan~
Brian reminded me of a mix between America and England from Hetalia.

2 episode this good in row?
I liked this one even more than the mecha one,although to be fair I'm a much bigger fan of ramance than mecha.

Great episode focused on Akane, that was a nice romance for being only an episode, I will be very sad if I don't see her and Brian meet once again.

Girls, you're a bit too rushing with the shipping.. ;P She's not a character, she is a person, give her time.. ;P
Well, they actually have travelling library.. So long distance relationship wouldn't be too much of a problem, really.. Well, not like they have to enter one or anything, of course..
In the end they had a good time.. ;P
