| I can honestly say that is the worst mascot design I have even seen, I challenge anyone to prove me wrong. The precure's look basic though. |
| My anime list |
| Not too keen on the design of the girls, it's got that slight new 2010's kids centered shounen-esque look unlike previous series which still had a more cutesy shoujo/moe hybrid look, now the magical critters are moe overload inducing adorability. |

| they still look the same as ever to me |

| I really miss Futari wa and Heartcatch. It feels like every other precure, especially those since Heartcatch, are just so bad and all feel and look exactly the same. They had a more mass-market appeal to them while the rest just feel like what they actually are, kid shows. Not that it makes them bad, just not nearly as good as they could be - and I honestly hate the fact they continually use the worst designs for the main characters in the more recent ones. They all look exactly the same, and they all look bad and uninteresting. I can't even tell that's not just Smile. |
 |
| The pink one doesn't appear to be the leader this time. |

 |
| I don't mind the character design much, but what the fuck is that thing in the middle supposed to be? I really hope that's not what the fairies look like. While Smile hasn't really had the best story, pacing, or fights, it's easily the funniest season of Precure I've seen. Heartcatch is still the best overall though. |
 |
| soooooo.... girls character design - awesome. HeartCatch mixed with Suite, plus those eyes look a bit like Fresh. but what in name of sanity is that THING o.O fairy baby? those eyes! they will eat your soul! and HeartCatch geting so much praise... as long as Tsubomi doesn't go into emo mode or Moonlight does it - it's good. Too bad they do it often |
| omg |
 |
| So they use Suite character designer this time |
| So cute! I want to watch all PreCure series next year, hope I'll manage it ;) |

| I really miss the first three season. But that's fairy baby thing seems a lot more annoying that chiffon was, and may be even more than candy. Can't we have a Fairy like Tart ? This one was awesome. |
 |
| It's the 10th season, so of course there are details in the designs harking back to previous seasons. ∂A∂ Come on, people. I AM SO EXCITED. The baby is super cute - at first it was creepy, but I drew her and my impression changed. And YES for cellphone mascots, they're so cute! I can't wait for this season, but at the same time it's going to be depressing for Smile to be ending. (It's this way every year... *sigh*) |
| Can anyone translate the story section in the bottom left? |
GarLogan78 said: Don't you think the scan is too small for the text to be readable? Can anyone translate the story section in the bottom left? Anyway, seems the character design is a bit back in the older days of PreCure. Personally I still find I like the character design of the current Smile PreCure the most, followed by Futari wa. Personal preference of course. |
| 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. |
| Oh, another magical girl anime for 2013... |
★  |
| I doubt it'll be any better than Fresh or Yes! Precure 5 and GoGo, but interesting. As long ad it isn't as boring as Heartcatch(about only a fifth part of it was interesting. don't get why people loved it) - it's good. I like Smile very much, because of all the old-school anime references, characters and epic fights. If Doki Doki! will be like it or better - I'll only be happy. Just not like Heartcatch. |
| Good God i will definitely pass on this one. thank u |
| wish smile had gotten a second season instead :/ |
| dafaq is this Sailor Moon looking nonsense? |

| ...They look exactly like the Fresh cures to me. Am I the only one seeing this? |
Bunns said: They do not - ok have some parts similar (eyes which were most awesome part of Fresh and weird mascot) but different for sure ...They look exactly like the Fresh cures to me. Am I the only one seeing this? if something that pink one looks similar (but not exactly) Cure Bloom so basically it's mix of everything plus inspiration with HeartCatch way of designing and one creepy as hell mascot |

| It doesn't have the boobs of Fresh Precure, at least. |
|
| the mascot is really ugly |
| Color scheme reminds me of Fresh, Cure Heart's design made me think of Cure Bloom, and art style looks similar to Suite. Very spiral-y but I'm liking the designs. The baby mascot is unsettling though. Will watch. Pretty Cure approaching its tenth anniversary! :) |

| ...pretty sure Vylash was being sarcastic, guys. ShootingK said: ...Cure Heart's design made me think of Cure Bloom... Cure Heart? Is that one of the new Cures? Are their names listed on the picture in the OP? If so, what are the other Cure's names? |
|
| The mascot thing looks horrible. Also, the pink one looks like Cure Peach. By the way. Looks like Toei is doing better designs on Star Plus One. |
RMNDolphy said: Cure Heart? Is that one of the new Cures? Are their names listed on the picture in the OP? If so, what are the other Cure's names? It's not stated in there, but a few sites have posted additional info such as the theme involving playing cards, the names and etc. Based on what I read here, Cure Heart is the pink one, the others being Cure Sword, Rosetta and Diamond. Tbh I don't know how much of this is official or reliable, though it seems to make sense so far. GarLogan78 said: Can anyone translate the story section in the bottom left? It's up there in the synopsis section of its MAL entry :) |

It still creeps me out though. |
|
| Found the designs for the Cures in civilian form. |
| What the fuck is that creepy baby mascot thing? Kill it with fire. The girls look ok, the orange one especially is adorable. And holy shit, the pink girl looks a lot like Miyuki from Smile in the civilian form. |
| Not the best character design, but I love the light pastel colors~! *3* |
 |
| The new characters are really good. Better than Smile |
| Cure Rosetta/Yotsuba Alice is my favorite so far. <3 I hope that this will be a good series to watch in 2013! |
