Oh yes....

I remember the gay cops phase.

There was also the GOAT ATOTD anime/LN written by Zerg, and the concept originally came from uh... fuck I forgot his name(s) Zeta. Coincidentally, that same dude Zeta also came up with the fst clones meme.

Right at the beginning we plowed through threads in like 2 weeks and then it slowed to a month for a while.

Zeta used the fst clones thing as an insult when he first left the club. We made it into a meme.
Lots of memes were born in this club.
The part where we were most active is probably that first thread of selfie
maybe

also lul that loli mutilation, does anyone still have that gif

Well you have to keep in mind too that this club had been around for quite awhile before ATotD happened on AD and got shut down. Back then all of the regulars hung out and talked in the O/U thread. It was a lot slower-- even slower than our current ATotD threads are now-- but it seemed like we discussed anime a lot more back then.

Of the current regulars I know Ckan, Botato, fst, Jizzy, Kokko, Pullman, Reaper, and Zerg were around back then.

Tfw it's been over two and a half years since then.

I mean the club was originally created because the Overrated/Underrated v4 got locked for being 'unmoderatable', and I think probably due to a certain someone complaining about it to the mods. Then a bunch of people migrated to the ATotD thread in AD until that got locked for being a chat thread and it got brought here as well.

Welp, Fresh Precure! was definitely the most character-driven Precure I've watched thus far, as well as the most uplifting.

Despite their superficial similarities, it's nice to see how each Precure goes for a different thematic emphasis and a different approach to tackling their themes. It gives each iteration its own unique tone, which shows the most obviously in their endings even though it tends to be pretty clear early on.

Given that it's really no wonder why Precure fans all seem to have very different ideas as to which version they prefer the most.

Fresh and its characters will all be fondly remembered. Thanks for the rec @silverwalls.

Since I've watched a few now, I think I'll rank the mains in the Precures I've seen thus far in terms of general preference along with the overall cast strength of each.

Heartcatch (mixed):
Yuri > Erika > Tsubomi >>> Itsuki

Go! Princess (servicable, but a bit underwhelming):
Kirara > Minami >> Towa > Haruka

Fresh Precure! (strong):
Setsuna > Love >> Inori > Miki

Overall:
Setsuna = Yuri > Love = Erika > Kirara > Tsubomi > Inori >= Minami > Miki > Towa > Haruka > Itsuki

Some explanation:

This is kinda tricky to answer because the way each series approaches its story is really, really different. Coming off of Fresh I could completely understand someone who loved it thinking that Heartcatch is incredibly underwhelming, because they're each trying to do completely different things. It's like they're in different genres despite all being mahou shoujo and all sharing certain formulaic similarities.

So when I say
Heartcatch >> Fresh > Go! Princess

It's almost completely nonindicative from a recommendation standpoint because what each series does great is apples and oranges, and if you prefer oranges then my apple preference isn't going to help you much.

I mean I may as well say
Action >> SOL > Fantasy

If that gets the point across, although the analogy is loose.

It wouldn't surprise me if it changes as I watch more, that I could fairly make more direct comparions, but it's kinda hard with these three. Explaining their score differences on my list would take a wall of text that you may not be asking for.

Smile is gureito, guys. All the girls are so likeable and episode 22 really had me feeling for them. Shit is gonna hit the fan hard now that All the Cure Décor have been stolen and Pierrot has awakened. If the Precure are already having so much trouble against Joker, I don't even wanna think about how strong the actual boss is.

@silverwalls @TripleSRank how about you guys rank the transformations? Which series has the most fabulous ones? I tried my best not to watch all of them on youtube (even though the temptation was strong) but from what I've seen I'd say Go! Princess is definitely up there.

@Sapewloth Something I've noticed with the transformations is that it really catches my attention when the fingers are well animated: The way fingers moving can be simultaneously subtle and dramatic is just something I love, so my favorites thus far would probably be Blossom's and Marine's from Heartcatch and Passion's from Fresh.

[edit]Then again Scarlet's is so cool and dramatic that it doesn't need the animated fingers tbh. That's actually my favorite I guess.[/edit]

In general terms though, I definitely think the most went into making Go! Princess's transformations interesting, followed by Heartcatch's and Fresh's respectively.

More specifically:

The sakuga in episode 23 of Smile Precure was off the fucking charts, man. Power of friendship has never been this awesome. 👌👌👌
It also looks like Smile did the Princess thingy before Go! Princess. Really though, who would've expected something that started off so silly to get me so hyped. I really shouldn't underestimate this franchise.

I didn't even consciously do it. The editing feature on MAL just took you to a different screen, like how forums usually do it, but I was too lazy to do it so I just made new posts.

Now the quick edit makes it easier to just edit your post and occasionally motivates to not double/triple/quad post at times.

from the seasons i've seen (because i don't really like watching them in advance either lol) i'd rank them like this:
go princess > heartcatch > mahoutsukai > kira kira (mainly for chocolat's and gelato's transformations, they're fab) >> happiness charge > yes5 > splash star > futari wa
go princess definitely has the most fabulous ones.
