My brain is in a mess now after this episode. I'd give this series at least a passable 6 honestly, I can agree its not good but I'll admit I enjoyed watching it so much. Definitely could enjoy it a lot more if it weren't for the problems though. So in the end, their identities are revealed and somehow they can still go back to their normal lives? What? Also keep in mind, there was no point in Mana doing that in the first place. They probably can't keep Precures a secret from the public anymore, but the public still did not need to know who they were.
The Cures really went straight back into battle after de-transforming like 10 minutes ago, surprised they weren't worn out at all.
Bel wanting to be number one gets picked up again, glad they didn't forget. Not sure why we even needed the Proto Jikochu fight though. Sure it looked cool, but at the cost of pushing all other characters aside and glorifying Mana. The psyche stealing scene was really great, but the impact of it gets lost because Mana self purified which made no sense, and adds on to the "wow mana great, she can purify herself no help needed". I'm guessing they did Proto Jikochu because they wanted Bel to play a role, which was great but not at the cost of other characters being pushed aside. Also I wished Bel could have controlled the power, so it would feel like Cures Vs Bel instead of Cures Vs King Jikochu for the second time in a smaller body. Bel has been chasing being number one for a long time after all. Speaking of smaller body, it didn't even reduce the collateral damage. I'd say it caused even more because Proto had OP telekinesis that just tossed buildings around like nothing. After the fight, buildings return to normal, but do injuries on humans remain? There would definitely have been some casualties.
I don't hate Mana, I really don't. I blame the writers for making her so important. She isn't perfect, but her flaws doesn't ever come in. Also the way she was talking to Proto about her "flaws", did no one writing the show asked themselves "hey, does this even apply?" Lets have a look. "even i have a selfish heart" This is true, I mentioned in previous episode threads that she is so entitled to people's (Regina) love, and that they just aren't allowed to dislike her if she keeps chasing them, which is selfish. However, she was still rewarded for this selfish act because Regina actually turned good anyway. "i may feel jealous and hate everything to the point of running away." When have us viewers ever seen that? From viewer's POV she always faced everything and never gave up. "even if i lose my love, i have my friends here with me" again that never happened, and if it did, us viewers were never shown it. So what did your friends do for you, nothing for that part. Also, real nice of her to talk about her friends when she is out here soloing the big bad. The speech itself was fine, but Mana should not have been the one saying it when it doesn't apply to her.
Ciara said: Morals were sloppy, while the ending was so goddamn sugary, cutesy and cheesy it hurt (guys, I don't believe Jonathan is fine with losing his sweetheart just like that). Also cutting corners. It's the last episode, you gotta make that stuff sparkle and fluid! Lol, nope, quality. Mana's knee is more important than girls faces in group shots.
Yes Lmao. So much effort into that knee shot then the final group shot looks so goofy. Also poor Joe, holding onto hope for so long that he can have Ange back and gets the news she is gone forever.
So... why did Cure Heart get god mode even, wouldn't Ace have been more fitting? I also find it pretty bullshit that her psyche purified itself and there was no explanation given. Way to go building up the "even I'm selfish!" speech. Mana is basically as "chosen one" as it gets. |
