----------------------------------------
That was a great first episode.

I like Nodoka quite a bit, she is nice and bubbly but not too much. I really look forward to Hinata, great first impression and that she could be fun.

Fairies are... less annoying than usually, it's also bit weird they look familiar (to either Kirakira or that penguin one in Yes5).
Same goes for monster, bit more like Zakenna than what we've got in previous season.

The visuals looks so top notch, especially the CG, it's actually better than Aikatsu and Pripara. While Nodoka is great (it also turns out she was an ill girl when she was younger), I don't care for the fairies though, but the purification is unique for the franchise (it's a literal forced extraction of the elementals, which does fit the medical theme).

Agreed on it being a good ep. Really liking Nodoka; fairly standard, but she has a touch of nuance to her character that I found interesting. Chiyu and Hinata gave good first impressions as well. It's gonna be a good year.

sail the seven seas either through torrents (aka. Nyaa) or kissanime or other sites to watch this.

Which is pretty much the only way for Precure to be watched

finally Star Twinkle ended.

and a very good first episode for this new Precure series

I like the designs a lot, the three girls look the same age, instead of the leader being younger.

A few things reminded me of the first ep Princess Precure, like Nodoka arriving new town on car, the fairy dog to Paffu and the similar town/beach views when Cure Grace jumps.

Cant wait to see more.

Really good first episode. I really liked Nodoka and I want to see more of Hinata. I still find Chiyu as the typical blue precure in terms of design and personality, but luckily Nodoka and Hinata are there to compensate Chiyu.

The fairies are okay, I really liked Peguitan and Nyatoran, but Rabbirin was too bossy for my taste.

Boy am I loving this, it feels like I'm watching the old precure again. Loving the opening and the ending rocks.
The fairies are funny as hell and they look like pokemon starters lol.
Nodoka is a sweet MC, she seems really likeable.
I also liked the backgrounds, it seems like they put effort into designing the city. I guess it makes sense since the season is about environment. I actually felt terrible when the villain tried to destroy that beautiful park. They really nailed the theme this year.
I have to admit I cried a bit when Nodoka was holding the fairy in her arms before transforming. Thank god they got rid of the terrible singing during the transformation that they had in star twinkle.

You know, I thought I would hate this because of the title but I ended up liking this a lot. It's probably my favorite first episodes of the few Precures I watched. So, far the yellow Precure will be my favorite which sad because she is will probably be the last to become a Precure.

Yeah, Rabirin during the battle was too bossy for my taste, maybe in the future she'll calm down a little. I really liked Peguitan and Nyatoran because they were more realistic about their potential partner (although I hope that Peguitan becomes a little more cheerful in the future xd)

Woahh!!!! I'm so happy dude, I loved this first episode a lot it was great! Nodoka kind of reminds me of the main girl for Heartcatch just a little, yeah their personalities are vastly different (Because Heartcatch is honestly way different from ALL of the series) but they both had the more down to earth "Actually-could-be-a-real-person" Feel to them! I loved all of the fairies so much! They're like, actual characters. I don't know, I always felt like the fairies in the Precise series were such insignificant part but I feel like I could actually call these guys characters and actually have one of or all of them be my favorite of all the other characters. Though that depends on how they perform for the episodes to come,,, Either way I love them. AND THE VILLAIN, WOWOWOW HE'S HOT OKAY? IF NO ONE THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE SERIES FALLS IN LOVE WITH THIS HOTTIE, OR HE DOESN'T REFORM, I'M RIOTING. LIKE D A M N. The other girls were cute too! I can tell I'm really gonna love the one with pigtails. From the other replies I think her name is Chiyu? She's so cute! 5/5 episode.


Edit: Woops, wait, the pigtailed one is Hinata? I'm so confused and sad!

I always have a bit of a hard time with the first episodes. For me what makes the anime great is the bondes you get to the characters, how strong they are and the difficulties they had to go trough.
But obviously character development takes time, so naturally I won't be in love with the first episodes.
But I do think that this episode was very promising and that we can expect a great season.

(I did think is was a little weird when the fairy started talking when they were a wand/transformation item, but other than that no complaints!)

'The Earth needs treatment'
So now they're trying to promote environmentalism by using health theme (germ/doctor) as a metaphor. A little bit too safe? They could tackle climate crisis that will make this show more radical and more controversial, just like when they feature gay characters in Hugtto.

Decent first episode
I really like how fluid the animation looks in the opening. And the ending song is super catchy.
Not a fan of the precure designs. Unsure how to feel about Nodoka's voice.
Princess Latte is super cute, already can tell she's gonna rank high on the fairy tier list. The villain design for this episode is cool! Can tell this might be a series where I like the villains more than the precure.
The themes seem interesting enough. I'm unsure if I'm gonna keep up with this week by week considering I still have the 2nd half of Startwinkle to watch but we'll see

Edit: based on design alone, Hinata will probably end up as my favorite girl. I've always had a slight bias towards Yellow cures

Pink Precures are my weakness and looks like Nodoka won't be an exception, I already like her a ton!

I'm curious about her past, she seemed to have gone through an awful time and now she's recovering from it in that beautiful town. Health seems that will be a big theme from this entry and Nodoka already fits pretty strongly on that.

Both OP and ED were really good and I both songs and animation pleased me immensely.

Zero complaints so far, I can't wait to see more of this entry!

My second try at the franchise! Although my first try was technically not even a try since I only watched one episode and realized I didn't have the time to keep watching it weekly XD Anyways, so far, I really like it! As in, I feel motivated to keep watching, unlike Hug tto, which I thought I could like it more with future episodes. At least no annoying baby here :>

I like Nodoka's personality, and I'm interested in her flashback where she was hospitalized. The fairies are cute as well, none of them are annoying to me yet. The other two main characters, Hinata and Chiyu seem cool, I'm excited to get to know them. Also, their hair colors being on the more realistic side in their human forms is a nice touch.

Good start. So animals are the theme again this time, thankfully there are physical fights! The other animal themed precure sort of went to shit for me because all they did is put icing on the enemies.

The fact that they fight pathogen makes me remember Cells at Work. :D

just to complement my previous post about the girls looking the same age.

i just remembered to watch the next ep preview, which i don't know why i forgot/didnt watched the other day.

Then i noticed this right away.


The girls are also in the same class.
and a lovely reaction from Hinata <3

For those who don't know this year marks not just one but two PreCure shows anniversaries. Go! Princess PreCure is celebrating its 5th Anniversary right now and soon HeartCatch PreCure! will celebrate its 10th Anniversary this week on Friday. Both PreCure shows are the best ones and that is why I have my favorite character Kirara Amanogawa as my picture avatar.

Really nice episode, dynamic, with great visuals. Also the design reminds me a lot of Yes Precure, which I really loved ! Also, the theme of the series is a really good choice, considering what's going on lately.
I can't wait to see what's next, and I really want to know what happened to Nodoka. I like when the Precures hold a "heavy" past (much like in Hugtto), it makes the whole story very interesting. It looks really promising !

Go! Princess is really good. But i can't say the same HeartCatch. I mean HeartCatch is good too but it far away from the best. I mean it not the same level as the Original, Splash Star,Yes precure 5, Princess, Mahotsukai and Hugtto!. For some reason heartcatch is one of the most overrated precure series ever. (And sadly Mahotsukai is the Most underrated precure series)

I see we think alike. :eyes:

YES!! I'm loving how down to earth Nodoka is, and it makes sense that she wants to help whoever is in pain because she was once in pain too when she was younger. I wonder what happened to her in the past?

On the animation side of things, Cure Grace's transformation sequence and part of the opening were animated by the lovely Naotoshi Shida: https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/111056 and https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/111055 respectively. I have hope for this season. (੭ ˃̣̣̥ ㅂ˂̣̣̥)੭ु

Its true! Both seasons are my favourites. This will be a good year for precure.

About the episode was a good beginning. Sure it can be a good story. Well, they don{t sing on the transformation, but its cute.

This was a great first episode! I like the theme, the design of the cures is beautiful and the lead is cute. I like that she has a good reason for wanting to save people, usually it's annoying to see a 13 yo girl jumping into danger for no reason, but the fact that she was ill and want to protect others from suffering is touching.

Soooooooooo it's the town from Ponyo? :P

I like that each of the girls gets their own fairy in this one. Gives me the smallest level of Pokemon vibes, which always makes me be happy. I hope they each get a cute bond with their teammate!

The mascot turning into the transformation item though.... can't decide how I feel about it. It's kind of disturbing. ._.;

Oh look, a Pretty Cure series that focuses more than average on curing.

I'm not sure about this one so far. I didn't really like the new main. I didn't dislike her either, but it seemed to focus on how wonderful and cute she is and not much else. Kind of bland and boring for me, though I'm obviously in the minority.

The series is really pretty though. I like how the three's hair colors are more muted, and then become vibrant in their cure forms. I'll give it a few more episodes at least.

Standard first episode for a Precure series.
Not a fan of the main girl so far, but at least she's not completely stupid like the Star Twinkle one.
Animation was very bellow average for a first episode, which worries me. OP looks lit tho.
Directing is all over the place. I don't like how it jumps from one thing to another out of nowhere.
The themes are obvious and that bothers me a little. I hope they don't get in the way too much.
Overall not really feeling this one. I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah, better first episode than the previous entry, similar style to Huggto and Princess. However can't help the fact that it is generic. The main lead is almost the same as Hana from Huggto.
