Precure All Stars Movie New Stage: Mirai no Tomodachi

In the city of Minato Mirai in Yokohama, the news of Fusion's defeat by the Pretty Cures is the hottest topic in town! Girls everywhere are dressing up and acting as their favorite Cures. Only Sakagami Ayumi, the new transfer student, is alone by herself.

On her way home from school, Ayumi encounters a strange creature. After naming it Fu-Chan, Ayumi and the creature soon become good friends. However, Fu-Chan is actually a piece of Fusion, and holds the power of darkness. In an effort to make Ayumi happy, Fu-chan swallows up everything that Ayumi dislikes, creating chaos in school and throughout the city!

To help bring across Ayumi's true feelings to Fu-Chan, all 28 Pretty Cures gather once more. When everyone's power comes together, a miraculous light starts to shine.

I know that people may hate a bit of spoilers but I guess I just warn you first that I may reveal a bit that you may not want to know.

Firstly, was the story. In my point of view it was something unexpected. It was focused on a special character for the movie rather than the latest pretty cures(in this case, Smile Precure). That made the story a bit interesting cause its not that I don't like to say Pretty Cure fighting monsters and stuff, its just that I hate to keep seeing them a lot in the movies repetitively like the Pretty Cure DX ... 3. It seems that Toei have decided to change for something new and see how the fans would to accept it or not and how they react. Sadly as I know, many people do not seem to enjoy it and even say that Pretty Cure are getting from good to bad.

I put these down to the fact that there are no speaking lines for Max Heart, Splash Star and 5 Go Go and I do agree with. It was quite a disappointment but I always look for a brighter side in every anime I've watch(to avoid biasness). In the brighter side, they change the story differently and for the first time, an old villain turn nice to that special character for the movie.

And also they change the opening which I prefer. I'm starting to get sick hearing the same song at the start of every All Stars movie(but I still like it).
Only the ending was something I don't like cause they use Smile Precure Ed. Should Toei have made another new Ending Song? But I pretty much like the new opening anyway.

Thus I would say the overall was actually quite good to the fact they change for something new and want to see how fans like it or not(though I know many are not happy with it). But I love to see all those old group transformations for the latest 4 groups and their weapons which I miss them. (I only watch up to Heartcatch Pretty Cure by the way) So in overall I think the movie was great and scored better than the DX movies and the enjoyment was good.

In conclusion, if enjoy something that are different that are usually is and also want to see Smile Precure in action(if you haven't watch the series yet), then you better watch this one then. If you a hater that have watched this anime /movie or someone who like to see the old precures and fighting, don't watch this one which I highly recommended for this group of people. I'm trying to be fair in both ways so that many people can be at an advantage from this review.

I thought all the three other Pretty Cure All Star movies were the best movies I've ever watched. I just watched this one yesterday and I thought that this Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage wasn't all that good.

Though, like always, the art of this movie is really good so I'll give it a 10, no mistakes or mess-ups.

The story was alright. It was touching too so I'll give it a 7 because it's also kinda like too cliche. At least, for me.

For sound, it was all right. Though I've heard things about the sound not matching the subs or was it because of the ... site I was watching it from. I looked and it looked like it didn't match the characters speaking. So I'll have to give it a 6 at that.

CHARACTER. This is the part that got me disappointed about this movie. It's good that Smile Precure made their appearance in this movie, but it was all about them as well as Suite Precure and Ayumi. The Veteran Precure made an appearance, but they didn't even get to meet the Smile Precure. All they pretty much were were cameos. Except Heartcatch and Fresh who met Smile and Ayumi, the main protagonist of the movie. Speaking of Ayumi, she turns into a Cure named Cure Echo which barely did anything. She didn't fight or anything, she just talked to her friend named Fu-chan (Fusion) then turned back to her normal form. I expected to see a lot of fighting scenes in this movie as well as all the Cures getting all together like the other All Star movies and turning to their Super forms from the cheering and unleash some huge attack. All of this is why I'll give it a 6.

As for enjoyment, it was good movie. I'll give it an 8.

Overall, I'll give this movie an 8. It has flaws in it, but it's very cute and very good!

Mirai no Tomodachi is done. And it's very weird and feels off for a few reasons. These reasons don't exact hurt the movie on their own, but when combined into a single period of just over an hour, they become problematic. For starters, the movie's main focus is not on any Cure strictly speaking, but rather a normal human named Ayumi takes center stage; add to this a somewhat blank personality and a bad moral, and it's not great. The movie's worst offense however, is that the entirety of the cast is placed in minor roles and, excluding a brief appearance at the beginning, almost ... the entirety of the Cure teams are completely absent. A lot of them don't even get major speaking roles. The only Cure teams present with big roles are Suite's, Smile's, and Heartcatch for about half the movie. And this...isn't looking great. Let's get into it.
To start the movie, Fusion (the main villain from the Precure All Stars DX movie, the wiki tells me; he's a combination of Zakenna, Uzaina, Hoshina, and Kowaina, the monsters of the day from the first four seasons) has somehow reformed and attacks the city, though the Precure, all standing as silhouettes on a ferris wheel for some reason, defeat him instantly, and rather cheaply, it's simply part of the opening theme animation. Anyway, they didn't do such a great job after all, and globby little Fusion-bits fall across the entire town, with one of them getting into a fairy tea party or something..? Anyway, Ayumi has moved into the neighborhood and is basically every "new kid in town ever;" she doesn't want to see her new school, she hates where she lives, she can't relate to anyone, she's lonely, she has no friends, blah blah blah. On her way home from school, she spots a Fusion bit and mistakes it for a bug squirming under a leaf and rescues it. To be honest, I find it hard to believe that ANYONE, let alone a 14-year-old girl, would see a yellow squishy blob under a leaf, and think to themselves: "Hmm, it's probably a bug that's stuck. I'll save it and let it crawl/slide onto my shoulder, name it Fuu, and make it my friend." But that's exactly what Ayumi does. ...If Ayumi was FIVE YEARS OLD and not a middle schooler (her friends said they're as old as the Precure roughly. That means Ayumi is about 14) this would be reasonable. Just to establish the plot, the Suite and Smile teams know Fusion survived for some reason and both run into Ayumi and literally chase her halfway across town to apologize for bumping into her. I get that they want the girls to look super generous and outgoing, but this is ridiculous. Hibiki and Miyuki come off as if they're stalking Ayumi, with her terrified reactions and attempts to flee. (Continued in new message)
So Ayumi takes "Fuu-chan" home and these scenes aren't exactly in this order, but it's easier for me to put them like this in two separate storylines. Ayumi ends up needing to "teach" Fuu-chan stuff such as how small it is and how to get bigger by eating. Um....no comment, but it's pretty obvious even watching this for the first time that things are going to spiral out of control. Things reach a point when Ayumi's mom scolds her for playing her game too long, and Ayumi completely overreacts, running out the door crying that she hates her mom. Not only that, she claims that she wants the entire city to disappear. Ayumi acted so selfish and spoiled in this movie that it really pissed me off and I honestly hated her parts. With the Cures, all that really happens is Suite and Smile teams meet each other and fight Fusion. ...Horribly. Despite learning quickly in the fight that Fusion can not only combine with other Fusion globs, but that it can also directly absorb their attacks, they continue to attack regardless. Eventually the Cures confront Ayumi, who once again becomes dramatic, running away with Fuu-chan and refusing to let the Cures touch him. MORE AGGRAVATION. This thing TRIED TO KILL PEOPLE and wants to LEVEL THE ENTIRE CITY. How are we supposed to feel ANY SYMPATHY. He was even the main antagonist in a PREVIOUS MOVIE. Because of Ayumi's selfish desires, Fuu-chan becomes evil again and tries to destroy everything, like ya do. Ayumi realizes her mistake and decides to confess her open feelings to Fuu-cha-I'm going to call it Fusion. Along the way, the other Cures are finally bothered to show up, thanks to the summoning Miracle Lights. (was there really no better use for them?) They hold off the Fusion globs so Ayumi can get to plot-relevant Fusion blob.
Oh no though, Ayumi is captured (YAY!) Although in the most aggravating part of the entire movie, she BECOMES A CURE (which she happened to have a desire to become earlier.) This particularly annoyed me because I don't think a selfish girl like her who's overdramatic about everything should be a Cure; it makes as much sense as letting Milk be a Cure. Anyway, now Cure Echo, she has a heart-to-heart with Fusion and they wanna protect each other I think. Oh and there was some part about Fusion launching a boat into the center of town that was stopped by all the Cures. Fusion agrees to step down, though the rest of the fusion globs apparently disagree...if that's possible..? Smile protects them with Fuu-chan's power aiding them and Cure Echo powers down back into Ayumi. And apparently all of the girls now go to Ayumi's school together. Idk if you can tell but I honestly had major issues with this movie and I'm not happy how they resolved it, nor am I happy with the limited screentime for...ANYONE. I mean we had BARELY even half the fairies here. I'm afraid this is the first All-Stars that I really hated. 3/10.
