| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- The new precure series. Heartcatch Precure! start very exciting and has interesting setting..more than other precure series so much !. The legendary precure in the beginning. Who is she? What the relationship with her and dark precure ? How the story move from now on ? Another thing is The character development of Erika and Tsubomi. Both have their problem and interaction of them is..fresh style and has many humor(I like it.). didn't look like other at all. And concept of the monster is the thing that I like although It's look like Shuga Chara.But I don't care.It's the best concept of the monster that I can think now.(And it can make impact for the story too much) Another thing that I like is character design It's look like Casshern sins+Ojamajo doremi and wow animation is really good. Espectially OP It's really...really...fantastic. I watch it's for ten times now ! You should try to watch it! |
| Another Precure series, the youngest ones so far (if I'm right <3) Personally I found it pretty intresting but Tsubomi + glasses isn't the typical pink haired leader girl I'm used to, well not yet thought she looks like a good one without glasses and a different personality maybe... Anyways I love Erika <3 |

| Just finished watching the first episode of Heart Catch and was majorly impressed. They completely revamped the precure series. Precure Done Right Indeed... The opening battle was really cool and drew me in right from the start. The art work is overly simplistic, but it works in so many ways. It gives off a fresh and unique vibe absent from the previous series. Ericka and Tsubomi are really interesting characters.Unlike these two, most of the precure characters are usually on the same page from the start. Ericka does give off a vibe of being hyperactive to the point of being annoying but that works for a reserved character like Tsubomi. Also realized she's the first heroine of the franchise to wear glasses regularly. One key difference concerning the two-heroine team I've noticed is unlike her predecessors, Tsubomi could transform by herself, unlike the original precure or Splashstar characters. And we already have a male character coming in to save Tsubomi next episode. I think Tsubomi's right when she questioned herself as possibly being the weakest precure in history. However, one thing I felt they kind of ripped off was the whole heart flower bit. It reminds me of other mahou shoujo series like Sailor Moon or Shugo Chara where a person's heart contains something valuable that can be used as a weapon. |
| Interesting indeed. At the beginning I was like "Wut, Casshern?" |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| This is not ojamajo doremi. maybe |
| well, I'm curious about single-winged dark precure...who has mysterious golden right eye dark precure, they once appeared in that awsome 5's movie, mirror world and her voice is... her name is... Great Detective Conan! |
| Ha. This show was quite entertaining. Reminded me of the first season of Shugo Chara, but I'm not sure if I can stand 51 more episodes of this. |
| Do I have to watch all of the other Precure series to understand this one? |
GarLogan78 said: not sure about that but from what I heard this is a newly fresh start of the series and it doesn't seem to connect to the old ones.Do I have to watch all of the other Precure series to understand this one? |
"A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
GarLogan78 said: Do I have to watch all of the other Precure series to understand this one? Unless you're planning to watch the Pretty Cure All stars Dx Movie 2, coming out later this year, then no. It's basically a restart. The series pretty much go something like this: 1st Series: Pretty Cure (49 episodes)--Fully Subbed Pretty Cure Max Heart (2nd Season/47 Episodes)----Fully Subbed 2nd Series: Pretty Cure Splash Star (49 Episodes)--Partially Subbed 3rd Series: Yes Pretty Cure 5 (49 Episodes)--Partially Subbed Yes Pretty Cure 5 GoGo (2nd Season/48 Episodes)--Not subbed at all 4th Series: Fresh Pretty Cure (50 Episodes)--Partially Subbed 5th & most recent series: Heart Catch Pretty Cure (????) |
GarLogan78 said: Do I have to watch all of the other Precure series to understand this one? I guess, you might want to watch 1st precure series at first. and if you come to like it, you just have to watch other series 1st series' battle scenes, are really great, I think |

| This seems like a cute show. |

| This was so... very... ordinary. |
| I think this will be exciting. I watched first season of pretty cure and I have on on hold second season (becouse I dont find the episodes). But this one looks great. |
Not bad, I think this may succeed where Shugo Chara failed for me. I like Erika despite her having a personality that I usually consider a real pain. Too bad for Tsubomi that it doesn't look like she get a quick and beautiful one hit K.O. |
 |
| Nana Mizuki *adores* I guess this means i'll be watching three Precure series side by side, doesn't really matter though mind. |
 |
| Finally reached Heartcatch,time to see if this really is the best precure or not. Like Erika and Tsubomi's contrast,makes for a good dynamic duo. The heart flower concept is interesting. |
| This is my first Precure and my first mahou shoujo beyond the greats that be Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura. It left a very good positive impression. I'm glad I took the time to find the HDTV version with Commie's subs; this series is gorgeous. The artstyle manages to convey a lot of details despite its simplicity, and the character designs are very pleasing as well. That animation budget is really showing too. Story-wise there was a lot going on, even for a first episode. We see the fall of the previous Cure, Moonlight, to Dark Cure of a faction called the Desert Apostles; we get introduced to our very energetic starting duo; and we get thrown straight into the scenario at the end of the episode... I'm very pleased and have moderate hopes for this series. Also, regarding those who are criticising the "heart" thing as being a Sailor Moon ripoff, it doesn't bother me. The way Sailor Moon handled "pure hearts" was perhaps my least favorite of the various things sought in that franchise. |
| That ED is going to give me nightmares. |
| Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore! Figures  |

Enter Cure Blossom! |

| I've read years ago that Heartcatch was, debatably, the best of Precure, although I don't recall what this "best" meant, nor how it came about. At the very least, Heartcatch was the primary reason I even began watching Precure to begin with. I would eventually learn that Yoshihiko Umakoshi, character designer for Casshern Sins, also did the character design for Heartcatch. I'm not exactly sure how that would translate into a quality show, but it gave me an idea of what to expect in terms of visuals. There would be bold, sketchy-yet-sharp linework, slick posing, glowing eye designs, stark shading during critical moments. With this first episode, I can say those initial expectations were met. The first few moments of the show felt like an anime unlike Precure. The art and animation felt straight out of Casshern Sins, and it surprised me enough to exclaim that aloud. The episode itself felt extremely lively in terms of animation, and while I'm more used to the Umakoshi's sharp linework, I can definitely see traits of his artstyle depending on the camera angle, even with characters possessing rounded features. That being said, we have an in media res conflict right at the beginning, lots of screaming, and a large breasts joke. I had expectations for Heartcatch, but I was somewhat caught off-guard on those details, especially the latter. It just seems uncharacteristic of Precure to have sexual innuendo jokes, but I'll hold off on forming a concrete opinion for the moment. |
| So, the designs were made by the same person who worked on Ojamajo Doremi. Checks out. Well, as an entry into Precure, this looks cute. Though I'm a bit disappointed by the CGI models in the ED (and partly in the transformation sequence, albeit here it's short and decent) |
| I really like the character designs, though my first thought was how they'd manage to integrate them into the next Precure crossover movie, considering how different they are from the other series'. Having not watched Sailor Moon, I like the Heart Flower concept. If it's consistently used throughout the series, I feel like it could lead to a lot of emotional poignant storylines by directly connecting the characters' struggles and worries to what the Precure are fighting. The emotional arc of Fresh Precure was what saved the series for me, so it'd be nice to see a Precure series go in hard on that aspect. For now I like Tsubomi more than Erika. Stealing Tsubomi's single piece of karaage when she was saving it for last is just unforgivable lol. Will Precure ever have non-CGI EDs again... |
| oh heck yes LOVE IT Hirogaru was my first exposure to Precure and I already like this as much as that and maybe even more! the high stakes feel is there, the art is amazing already like the art more the HS it's awesome |
