Another Aguri centered episode.

Halfway through the episode I was thinking that maybe Cure Ace can overcome her time limit weakness with the power of love and friendship, glad that didn't happened. Well, the possibility still exist.

Hey, Mana still remember Regina. Wonder when she'll be back. Next episode seems to be filler but it should interesting with the fairy transforming into human form.

well Cure Ace was such a nice character... really
but now she goes into retard-land along with Mana and rest of the gang. That is sad somehow - so moving from Precure like Black, we might have mix of Blossom and Moonlight (both are horrible on their own but combining...)

Now except ruining one decent character here, it was cute.
Nice to show that Mana remembers Regina - for some reason she seemed to forget about her, so it's ok.
Also those scenes at festival or between that friend (whose name I forgot) and Aguri were nice (especially when she told her to close her eyes - I like it).

Next episode... I was expecting something else from their human forms. I don't know maybe that they would be older, still if done right it might be as good as episode with Cure Sebastian.

I couldn't care less about Cure Ace so the episode was quite meh for me. I mean, I'm glad that Regina turn out to be Ace and Aguri's transformation is awesome aaaaand... that's it.
So Raquel is a tomboy or a boy? Because now I'm seriously confused.

I think a friend her age is just what Aguri needed as a character, actually.

Pretty much. It's nice to see more of a human side to Ace as opposed to just cookie-cutter tsundere quirks. In general, I find that Precure seasons are better off when they incorporate the classmate characters and families into the Cures' lives on a regular basis as opposed to just throwing them in when the plot calls for it. It makes the girls' characters feel much more believable when they're interacting with their families and normal friends.

That being said, the main weakness of this episode was that there was a ton of monologuing and flashbacks between Eru and Aguri. Not exactly the most convincing display of friendship in my mind. Again, show, don't just tell. There is no need to restate the obvious using words when simple body language or facial expressions would suffice.

Next episode looks like it could be fun though. I personally feel DokiDoki does alright when it's just trying to be as silly as possible (much like Smile), so hopefully there will be some wacky hijinks involving the fairies.

Also, the dance choreography during the 2nd ED is great.

Growth of Aguri I suppose? And suddenly we have a new character Eri to aid her growth.. Certainly slower than the previous episode in terms of plot development.. and I certainly did not expect Regina will be given a cameo lol
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.

Once again, Aguri feels wayyyyyy too mature for her age, wonder what her childhood was like that lead to this. Aguri kept going on about training, but she's eating so much sweet foods that I wonder if that will have a negative effect on her body. I'm also curious, how much does the training in Civilian form affect the Cure form? It's not like martial arts where it's more knowledge-based, this is physical-based.

As usual the reason for selfishness and the reason that's supposed to make it less selfish is so weird. A total stranger isn't going to say "it's more fun with everyone else around!" It'd be more realistic to say "Can't be helped, everyone wants to enjoy the fireworks too."

I'm glad the villains are actually using their brains, although I'm not sure how they figured out the 5 minute time limit, thought it was only known to the Cures and shown to the viewers. Also Cures are back to being bad at fights yay!

Cure Ace with her time limit: gives a speech to the Cures about how they taught her stuff. It'd actually be hilarious if the conversation Cure Ace had with the Cures lasted longer and before they know it, 5 minutes is up. Funny how no one questions anything anymore. In the earlier episodes Alice erased evidence of the Cures. But with enough eye witnesses there should be some form of investigation going but nah. No one questions it :/

It's nice to see Aguri getting more screen time and character development.
