| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Seems like Ace is going to kick each precure on the right way. |
 |
| Yup yup she isn't call Ace for nothing :) Cure Sebastian rofl . Sorry I can't help to laugh at that. A machine that can make anyone a Precure. |

Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| So there is still hope: Ace is S XD I really hope it won't change later - ok that imagine spot was nice but I still would like her to be blunt about their failures (while being badass and competent, unlike lets say.... Moonlight?). With cast like this it makes a difference. On the other side: Mana is as always retarded: still this time there was some sense in what she planned, ok actually there wasn't but it was almost Nozomi-like ;) And that next episode :D it might be epic - actually I do think that Sebastian would be way better Cure than Alice, so maybe they will keep him... and don't give him short skirt. |
| I can't believe Aguri/Ace is supposed to be the youngest. Compared to the others she just seems so mature and experienced. I noticed that Cure Ace's beam thingy attack changed its color to purple ( Makopi), which brings me to the conclusion that there will be similar episodes for Rikka and Alice as well. Maybe they will see some spotlight soon. Cure Sebastian= Batman? |
| So right after Ace is finally introduced we get...a Makoto episode. While I did feel this episode was a bit better than the last few, the whole conflict felt a bit contrived and suffered from a ton of plot conveniences (suddenly, a magic mirror that lets Makoto talk to her princess). It also seems as though Ace's purpose is so that Toei can market their makeup brand just to preach to the Cures about love and friendship, despite them already having realized most of this stuff. Hoping she'll actually receive some development in good time, since she basically came out of nowhere. I'm also curious to know why she looks much older when she transforms it's probably just a marketing pitch for Toei's makeup brand. So overall, a better episode than the last few, but still not really anything even remotely good. Next week looks like it could be hilarious though, with Cure Sebastian and all. Heck, if they're gonna trainwreck, might as well go all out, right? |

| More ppl gonna complain about the content in this show this week? Like I said in last weeks episode discussion. If your going into this series or any other precure series for that matter and expect, character development, no plot holes and a good plot. Your watching the wrong show. :/ This show was intended for children. I for one enjoyed this episode. It was fun. Cure Ace's transformation is such eye candy to watch. I hope we get to learn more about her soon. Next week looks epic :D can't wait! |

Your watching the wrong show. :/ This show was intended for children. Good lord, character development? In my Precure? We can't have these girls actually growing, realizing their dreams and fighting to protect what is precious! The atrocity! Seriously speaking, I tend to agree with RLinksoul. To some extent, the rather obvious plot conveniences and simplified conflict resolution should be forgiven, since it's really the prepubescent girls Toei is producing these shows for. That being said, one shouldn't completely suspended their disbelief since stuff like bad drama and massive plot holes should be held against these shows like any other title. A lot of the people complaining about DokiDoki are actually longtime Precure fans who are just frustrated to see this entry nosedive because of the third-rate writing and haphazard direction. |

| Rather than complaining, I’m mostly expressing concern over the direction Doki is heading. It’s a given that kids-oriented series should be forgiven for their simplicity, but that doesn’t mean simple = weak writing. One of the strongest points in the Precure franchise imo is the way their characters are generally handled in terms of development, interactions and dynamics. While every season have their own specific shortcomings, I always end up enjoying them regardless due to the girls being absolutely endearing (which is achieved by the writers taking the time to explore and develop the girls' friendship). For this season, the girls (except Rikka) somehow aren’t in that same level with the rest and therefore felt lacking. For the time being, I am still enjoying Doki all while wishing it for the best. I look forward for next week's episode. In previous occasions it's been always a joke with the girls thinking a male character could possibly be a new Cure but now we're actually getting one for real! |
| I don't really feel Ace's badassery, Moonlight outclasses her in every aspect. Well, maybe not in one - I like PHOENIX ACE transformation better. I don't care about MakoPi so I am indifferent about this episode. It's funny how Sebastian is more competent than any other character in this show, counting Precures in ^^ Also, next week the endless debate about the best Pretty Cure will be ended for sure. There will be no place for argument after that. |
| I don't like Cure Ace's wise and mature personality at all. She waltz in eat some cake, lecture MakoPi then left and disappeared after closing the door. I was like "what?" Well, maybe I'll like Agure as soon as we get to know her more. I think |

| Cure Sebastian? More like Batman. Seems like Ace is gonna lecture everyone until they fulfilled the Precure Oath that came out of nowhere. |
 |
| Oh yeah, Cure Ace / Madoka Aguri, give those PreCures your tough love, and eat the cake too LOL LOL And now I wonder if the relationship between Cure Ace and Ai-chan is one of PreCure and her mascot? |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
symbv said: It's perfect relationship - she can eat for free, shout at them and they can't do anything about it, because if they did... well she will just kill them XDOh yeah, Cure Ace / Madoka Aguri, give those PreCures your tough love, and eat the cake too LOL LOL And now I wonder if the relationship between Cure Ace and Ai-chan is one of PreCure and her mascot? If by mascot you mean that irritating creature that allows her to become Precure, I would say that this is the case here. Ok, this is one thing that bugs me (I know that there are many more bad things with this series but I just don't care) it seems that Ai-chan knows Ace - but from where? So I still thing that Aguri is some kind of reincarnation/part of Princess. Like Luminous was. zansabarshadow said: As written before I tend to disagree with part about plot of character development. More ppl gonna complain about the content in this show this week? Like I said in last weeks episode discussion. If your going into this series or any other precure series for that matter and expect, character development, no plot holes and a good plot. Your watching the wrong show. :/ This show was intended for children. First 3 series (FwPC, SS and YPC) had this done very well and I would say no series later came close to showing building up of friendship like it was with Nagisa and Honoka/SakiMai combo or gave as awesome leader as Nozomi (ok Fresh was close). It was simple but well done. On the other side I do agree that it's series for kids and one purpose of it is to sell toys - so some things can be simplified, characters don't need to be ultra-realistic and it just has to be cute, sparkling and draw attention to toys. So I don't mind it --> enjoyment = quality here. And if I complain it's because it went far from what it used to be but that is also why I like Ace :) |

Thank you. Just because a show is made for kids doesnt mean that it has the excuse to be poorly written. Hell, even kids can notice some really out there and stupid things that are probably happening in this show. |
 |
| The transformation of cure Ace was really awesome. O_o Didn't thought that would be this good. |
 |
| I gotta agree with folks here. While it is true that people here watch precure and maybe other kids shows too, it doesn't mean that we are indifferent to what is going on in them. Not kids either, they're smart little fuckers. I can spot abruptly cut, repeated or outright ignored scenarios of character development. Like in the first Digimon season everyones development was just repeated after the first half, because they were too lazy to take it further to awesomeness. I watch these precure shows because they give me nice feels and can even have amazing action and osts. Basically they're like battle shows or boys toy robot shows (like the Brave series) used to be, except without male casts and insane screaming. Kids show or not, things can still get screwed up just as easily as in late night shows. |
| So Makoto's songs somehow reached the princess, who was frozen under a ton of glaciers? Okay. (If the princess was referring to hearing them since being rescued, it is odd that she would have lost all hope AFTER being found and hidden by Jonathan...) Cure Ace is kind of grating. It is annoying to see her lecture the other precure despite being like 4 years younger than them. |
| Why did they even introduce Cure Ace? She's such a useless character. She preaches about being "immature" yet she's extremely immature herself. She does nothing but untactfully criticizes the PreCure while doing it with the utmost prideful and spoiled attitude. Why is there always a rotten piece of shit Mary Sue that shows up and contributes nothing to the series? |
 |
| Makopi episode. Well, it was a little better than the previous episode. |
