THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
PureCure Diamond finally made her debut !! And she is way too strong LOL !! Are we seeing the most elite PreCure team this year? PureCure Heart started by fighting two villain cadres at the same time already....

And the trailer for ep.4 is hilarious... Rejecting the offer? Not again this season? I want to hear Nishizumi-dono (from Girls und Panzer) in PreCure mode !!
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.

I'm really glad that they've taken the extra time to develop the characters a bit more before the transformations.

Not bad, not bad... I like Rikka's personality - she is down to Earth girl, with common sense but ready to help. And with showing more of Mana's way of doing things this feel much more like Nozomi and Rin relationship (with Mana being more competent... but rest feels right). They were so adorable as kids :)

There was not much of a fight - bit of letdown, also transformation wasn't too different. Still build up before it was good enough to let it pass.

So new Precure next week... I would be happy with those two but maybe she will add something (except of usual "yellow weirdness").

I really loved this episode. Rikka and Mana's friendship is just so hnng worthy. I have a feeling I'll start shipping them as best friends by episode 10.

Oh god.. those transformation scenes are BEAUTIFUL. I love the fluid animation and the bright colors that come with it. I'm hoping soon though that we get a bit more moving plot-wise, though I know that they probably have to introduce all the Cures first before this happens.

Cure Rosetta is next week. Lookin' forward to that lots.

Well that was the most ridiculous monster of the week I've ever seen. XD

Mana and Rikka aren't quite growing on me, but they're nice. I don't find either of them annoying or unlikable. They're just kind of... there. I liked how Rikka actively questions the mysterious hat man and his vague riddles.

I'm noticing a pattern with the introduction of new Cures. The old ones always seem to fail spectacularly in really blatant ways. In this case it seems that for all her athleticism, Cure Heart didn't think to JUMP while holding those envelopes.

What a way to do a preview.

Next episode: Refusal to become a Cure! *Shows a picture of her becoming a Cure*

All in all a pretty good episode.

Liking the Mana-Rikka dynamic more and more. Initially, I thought they reminded me a bit of Nagisa-Honoka and Saki-Mai, but now I'm seeing more of the Nozomi-Rin type with the way how Rikka looks out for her friend. Although the fight itself was short-lived, this episode has a nice build-up for Cure Diamond's debut. Looking forward for the next episode. Their faces (pic in spoiler below) just makes me grin silly:



And since New Stage 2 is supposed to come out in March 16th, I guess we will be seeing some interactions between Cure Sword and the girls sometime soon? I wonder how this will be achieved...

For some reason I'm really liking this season. I wasn't super drawn into Smile (especially obvious since I'm still on ep. 17 and I started it around the time came out), but I watched all three of these today.

Also the ending is amazing for some reason. I still can't figure out why I like it.

I enjoyed Dokidoki Precure so far, and it has become one of my favorite anime for this season. The way how Mana and Rikka interact to each other is intriguing. Their personalities are complementary to each other, no matter in or outside of a battle you can just feel the natural but strong bond between the two. It is a kind of relationship that can be appreciated by both an ordinary anime watcher and a hardcore Yuri fan. The enemies are also quite fuuny too. The fighting being short is not a problem for me, there are plenty of short-lived battles in earlier episodes of Futari Wa Precure.

Plot-wisely, even though it is still too early to judge from just three episodes, I think the playwrights’ focus will be more to the main story. We will probably not have profoundly written single episode like Smile Precure, but definitely going to have a stronger main story like what we have in Futari or Heartcatch. I really looking forward for the next episode – it looks like a fun one. Alice just reminds me of Tomoyo in C.C.Sakura, and Mana becomes the first Precure who actually vomiting in battle. Hope my excitement and enjoyment won’t fade.

It was nice episode. Its great that there is a Precure with common sense. Its only natural to question the blonde man for giving things to stranger for no reason.

I'm really liking Dokidoki so far, mostly thanks to Mana and Rikka and their great character interaction. I like it much better than in Smile where the girls just became best friends right off the bat and after that there wasn't much focus on their relationships. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the next episode and Alice.

It is PURIKKYAA, you noob.

What's up with the flashbacks during the battle. And do I have a low attention span or do these mascots have no soul? And for more or less, it seems all precure will have made their appearance by episode 4... so much for spreading it out a bit. I don't know, doesn't seem there is anything too bad, but it isn't really growing on me. I'll watch the next episode and see if I like the next girl, otherwise I might just wait out for more episodes right now.

Why it is PURIKKYAA? If I am a noob you are no better LOL. It may not be PureCure (should be PreCure) but it is not PURIKKYAA either (should be PuriKyua) If you want to laugh at people, take a look at yourself to make sure you get it correct first LOL.

That episode wasn't the best but I am liking Rikka more and more. Hopefully, after Rosetta comes next week, the story will get moving. And I agree. The Monsters of the Week are really lame...

It happened. I do like Mana's and Rikka's relationship in this one. They have actually knew each other instead of just meeting up like a bunch others.

I do not understand why she chose Diamond. Heart I understood. Diamond seems a bit too similar to Beauty to me?

Next episode seems like it could be good. I am interested in that precure a bit.

Seems things are being rushed a bit though.

That blonde guy is a bit odd. Seems to like Mana a bit too much?
