| we had to "suffer" it since SplashStar - only non-pink lead was Cure Black so I don't see a problem here. even less of it when out of all of them I could only say that Mana and Miyuki were truly bad (Megumi did improve along the road). |
| Dude, she has pink in her costume. We haven't even seen her civilian form. We don't even know what her personality will be like, at all. Chill. |

I have no idea what you mean by "we don't even know what her personality will be like", but your right. She is very nice and besides, Princess isn't the leading type, Fortune would be a little too pushy, and... I'm actually not sure about Honey.... |
Garfild said: I can't see parents buying their kids toys with unlikeable main character... so this kind of change probably won't happen.True refreshing change would be for instance bitch who is Precure lead, but still doesn't care in slightest about others, or that just isn't so ridiculously nice and positive. Having a Precure lead like Tomoko Kuroki would also be a true refreshing change. actually... I wouldn't mind some silly/ditzy character like Nozomi or Love. Mana was too perfect, Megumi is rather bland and Miyuki didn't felt like a lead at all. there is also Saki and Tsubomi (at least from time to time) as more normal kind of character but I don't think we might get it too. |

The person is upset that we're getting another Pink lead in the next series when for all we know she could be totally unlike any other leader.

Or that we simply have, I don't know, Green Precure lead, or Brown Precure lead, etc... >Bitch for a Precure lead These are series made for 5 year old girls that's supposed to give them some morals and positivity. And, again, we don't know what she'll be like yet? At all? She could be a bitch or she could be like Tomoko, so why are you complaining now when all we have is character design leaks? |

| Pink is a pretty rad color though. |
 |
Garfild said: I go with version that pink outfit is most popular among target group of series - so more toys, clothes, lunch-boxes, pens, plushies sells. which I see as easiest explanation to why Toei/Bandai used different color only once (on a character that is probably worst role model for kids in entire franchise).I mean, why always pink? |
Garfild said: I mean, why always pink? Because 5-year-old girls like pink. The cures having pink in their color doesn't bother me all that much. |

| The thing is, the pink leaders DO deserve to be the leaders. At least the ones we've had. It is not because of their pink outfits, but because they have proven to have the right attitude. The story resolves around them because of that! I'm responding to your question of why are these pink cures made leaders when they are also "normal girls". I'll start from Nozomi since she's the first true pink leader (Cure Black had some pink accents in her outfits and in a way she was the protagonist, but she was not any sort of leader! Her role as a Cure was equally important to White's! In fact Shiny Luminous was pink and she was no leader either. Cure Bloom also isn't a leader in spite of her pink because it was a duo in which no one was the leader.). Nozomi was silly and a klutz, but she did have the leader attitude, and she was the one who made the whole group stick together. Besides, the others chose her to be the leader. She wasn't very good at anything, but she had this inspirational vibe which had nothing to do with the colour pink, but with her personality. Love was less silly perhaps, though she still wasn't great at most stuff, but she acted as the leader in Fresh because she was the one who had the attitude, and she was the truly inspirational one of the group. She deserves to be a leader not because of her pink, but because she is a lovely girl who knew how to transmit love to her friends, and knew how to push them forward. Tsubomi was a change, and Toei probably decided that the focus should be on a different type of girl who is equally as inspirational, though in another way. A shy girl that truly wants to change and is aiming to really improve herself. Imagine how many girls are out there who can see themselves in Tsubomi! Imagine how happy they were that they could also have their spotlight in spite of their shyness. Tsubomi did not have a spotlight because she was pink, but rather because she deserved one. You could argue that Marine, being as extroverted as she is, could do a better job, but I believe that she does not have that "caring for others" vibe like Tsubomi. (I mean, yeah, she did, but it was kind of harder for her to truly transmit that.) Hibiki is a bit of a different case, because the story didn't resolve around her so much. What she had that made her stand out from the others was her energy. But still, Suite is pretty much a teamwork season, and Hibiki is not sold as much as THE important one. Like, yeah, she was sort of a leader because of her energy and determination, but I don't think that she was made to stand out that much and be the oh protagonist. Miyuki is kind of the same as Nozomi. She may not be as inspirational (or maybe she is?) but she certainly demonstrated that she could put on a smile when no one could, and she certainly was determined to give everyone their happy ending and make them "ultra happy". That, for me, is enough reason for someone to be the leader. Her friends had great personalities, but they just wouldn't work as well as leaders, perhaps because they didn't have that invincible faith all the time, and found it harder to smile like that at the worst times. So again, nothing to do with pink! Unfortunately I cannot say anything about Mana at the moment because I have only seen 9 episodes. She certainly won't make into my favourite characters' list, but from what I have seen, she is the most fit to be a leader. Mana's perfection is sort of comic but it does seem to make her the most fit of the team to be the leader. And Megumi is kind of the same thing like most of them! She simply has the love for others, she always puts others before herself. And that is a perfect trait for a leader to have! The reason why all of these wonderful girls are given the colour pink is because pink is a very strong colour so why not give it to the character you want to stand out? Besides, girls of that age do usually like pink. Plus, it's probably the connotations. Like, imagine giving Nozomi the colour green. Green is a much more tranquil colour, and it simply doesn't have the energy that a magical girl leader needs. Sorry for the long post, I was bored and wanted to rant about something! I hope I have explained myself in why I believe that these girls were truly fit to be the leaders, not just because Toei made them pink. |

| Pink is the most popular and marketable colour to little girls. |

Garfild said: How do you misinterpret something THAT badly? Christ. Zomi just said that the girls with the most leaderlike qualities for the group usually get the pink which signifies leader. Damn.So, what you're saying is that all other girls are garbage and fodders because they sometimes aren't as energetic, and will always be doomed to follow Pink color because it's pink, even though they are just as nice people? Thanks for response. |

Garfild said: I mean, why always pink? Just because is a color most of girls of 5 years like. That's why we see pink in the lead cure. |
| It's become very annoying that Lovely somehow has taken the protagonist role! Especially since this show is obviously about Princess and saving her family, as well as the whole kingdom, from the Dark Empire. But all that seems to have been put aside completely. This is very frustrating indeed! Why do they feel it's a good choice to ruin a whole show like that? Are people seriously enjoying this strange turn of events? I am very disappointed in this show. |

| @Sildendris I didn't find a problem with the change. Hime grew into a fairly mature character and lost most of her spoilt, brattiness in the latter parts of the series. The Blue Sky kingdom plot also got resolved with the rescue of Mirage. Megumi's love triangle had been foreshadowed for an excruciatingly long time, and her tears during what should have been a double happy ending (Blue Sky Kingdom rescued, Hime's reunion with parents + Blue x Mirage reunion) was a good transition IMO. |
