This was the episode that started it all in terms of my interest in the Precure Franchise. I saw a clip of the fight between Precure and Goyhan and thought to myself WTF?!

I ended up watching Precure and Max Heart and shortly thereafter started on my painfully long journey of watching and waiting for new subs for Splash Star.

In the mean time, I watched Yesprecure 5 as it premiered and once subs stopped coming in, switched entirely to Raws. Watched GoGo entirely in Raw format.

I essentially followed the same process for Fresh Precure and now I'm watching Heart Catch each week.

Getting back on topic, this episode had one of the best fight sequences in the Precure verse and I'm glad this episode as well as the final episode have been subbed, thus completing the Splash Star saga.

Awwwwwwwwwwww yeah, Michiru and Kaoru got new outfits and are now going to pwn some bad guy. Dumb double chin.

Sometimes I really hate kids show logic. Yeah, there's a sky for the birds to fly in, if there were ANY BIRDS LEFT! And why do Michiru and Kaoru get such bad costums compared to Saki and Mai?

I really wish they fought like this from the start. All the previous hand-to-hand fight scenes were absolutely terrible, some of the worst animation and choreography I've seen in a while, which I wasn't expecting after watching the first series. It was a real let down. Then all of a sudden they go back to to the show's roots for the last 2 eps and turn on the DBZ-mode with hand-to-hand combat that had some feeling to it.

That was amazing, but a bit too little, too late overall and only makes me even more disappointed when I think about how the show could have been if the soccer moms, or whatever the Japanese equivalent are, didn't ruin it.

WOW! DBZ fight style on Splash Star!
