| I'm with Hime. Pick up money, not litter. I am pretty sure girls want a ring, not flowers. But IDK Japan. Being friends with Yuu-Yuu would give someone diabetes. Candy all the time. Also, a little late to realize this, but wouldn't it be weird introducing yourself as "Snow White" (shirayuki hime)? I think it is kind of...interesting, I guess, that based on the first episode or two it was shown/implied that there were many parts of the city that were infected with the mold. But the Precure have only been handling issues that happen around them. They haven't made an effort to cleanse the city as a whole. When that one villain says "The Precure keep getting in our way". She has fought them ONCE. Also, why would Queen Mirage care so much about that one city? She has a whole country/world to conquer, why be so focused on one city just because there are a couple precure there? /reading too much into this. They changed forms so much this episode. It was pretty cool how they brought up the idea that even the Precure help others out for selfish reasons. Holy shit the Lovely Beam. This show is bringing it. It is kind of weird they keep comparing making others happy to "filling your stomach". The two don't really seem mutually exclusive. Or even related. Cure Fortune for a few seconds every episode. The whole "trap" plan was so pointless. The trap did nothing that wouldn't have been done if the villain had just attacked. |
Psajdak said: Stop trying to find logic in anime for children. Stop acting like doing shows for children is an excuse to do sloppy work. Children aren't stupid. Anyway this episode was nice, there were a lot of costume changes but I guess they really wanted to show off the toy ability. For the time being Megumi still looks like Mana done well: she has her own reason to help with her sick mother, the show admits helping others is a bit selfish and not in the "HERP DERP I CAN BE SELFISH TOO EVEN THOUGH THE PRIMEVAL SELFISH COULDN'T CORRUPT MY HEART FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS" Mana way but in a reasonable one, and Hime comes as helpful but still silly and her own character instead of solely revolving around supporting Megumi like Rikka often was. Sure, she might still become Mana 2: The Revenge somewhere along the line, but for now she's not looking bad. Also Yuuko has a lot of screentime, not that I mind since is better than a never-before seen character being the new Cure. Fortune is looking silly however, two episodes of onlooking are just absurd and makes her scolding Hime as "useles" bad when she never helps at fights and merely sits back and watches. Oh well, maybe she has REASONS. And speaking of fights, it was mostly nice but it had my two legitimate complaints of the episode. First and worst is, well, what WAS Hosshiiwa's plan? It basically came like this: 1. Bring Cures to a river bank 2. Reveal myself 3. ???? 4. Success! Which isn't really a plan. Now, if after the battle and when the Cures had their guard down she made Excadrill show up and captured the girls, THEN revealed herself, that'd be an actual plan. A simple one, but a plan. This is just stupid. The proper battle was cool, but Lovely shooting eye beams is weird since aside from Cyclops they tend to be used by VILLAINS, just look at Dragon Ball or even at Dark PC. It was still cool anyway, like Lollipop Hip-Hop even if it was the same thing as Cherry Flamenco. The other issue with the fight was Hime going "Hey, Megumi, finish this" which just strikes me as odd. Why not yourself? Why Megumi? It reminds me of the time Kanade told Hibiki to get a kill with her upgraded Beltier, the only time said upgrade was used not as a combination attack. And Suite is not the kind of show you wanna be like. It didn't deserve to be skipped however, and for SMILE of all things. Poor Suite and poor Splash Star. Bet next one is freaking Mana Sue. Anyway it was a good episode and the preview looks nice as well, so looking forward to it! |
| Precure is now aimed at 6/7 years old little girls. They're not looking for something logic. Just something that can entertain them. |

Psajdak said: Like kids care about that. Of course kids care. They might not look at every tiny detail, but they care. Underestimating your target audience is the worst thing you can do, even if aiming something at children. |
Psajdak said: slightly racist assumptions I am not looking for logic in the sense that the show must have a perfectly coherent story and be amazing in every aspect. But there is nothing wrong with just examining the story and discussing contradictions or flaws. Everyone has their own opinion, and for example, I think Heartcatch was done extremely well. So why can't I hold up every season to Heartcatch's standards? (Not saying that they have to be Heartcatch 2.0, but that they should be able to develop the story and characters in a way that is as good or better). Also, don't underestimate children. ~~~ @eliior1: Oh that is true. They might only end up with one wish in the end. |
| l like how Princess's name is literally "Snow White" |
| After this episode I feel like literally everybody in this show has some kind of backstory. Even Hoshiiwa, yes. Oh, Toei, make it so! That being said - little tidbits like Megumi's mom being of frail health, Hime talking about her parents, they felt very natural and cool. I like where this is going. And Yuu-Yuu, be my friend too, please. As for the plan - I think it's ultimate goal wasn't actually killing PreCure but to deliver the speech that'd destroy Lovely's morale and make her resign from the position. Which sounds like a plan and IS quite logical when you realize she's kinda fresh to this whole heroine business and didn't face something more challenging outside kicking Terribads asses. But that's just me. |
| 7:34 megumi giving hime dat happiness injection. cheeziness accepted --------------------- 1. i almost never watch shows like this cuz it's aimed for young people. but there are some moments that are worth watching. 2. i skip all the fight scenes and anything without megumi x hime. those 2 are interesting. 3. i'm studying japanese & can almost understand them. shows like these use simple language, so it's more like practice for me. 5/10 |

| Cute episode, though I'm not crazy with how much they had to hammer in the "be nice to others" lesson. Encouraging the little girls watching this show to be nice to others is fine and all, but there's a fine line between nice and self sacrificing, and I think the latter can be a rather toxic thing to teach girls. Not sure if this episode really crossed that line, but it was at least edging close enough to it for it to be noticeable in my opinion. Lolipop Hip Hop was adorable. ♡ That outfit is my favorite so far, and I loved the music that went with the sequence. Psajdak said: First, children don't care, especially not Japanese kids Wow, not only are you stupid, you're racist too. It's like ZettaiRyouiki said. "It's for kids" it's a shitty excuse for not putting any effort into your work. |

Psajdak said: text text I think your viewpoint that it is fine to feed children mindless action and fluff is fair. Children don't need intricate plotlines or "logic" to be entertained. But there also isn't a problem with expecting more out of children's shows. Many shows that are "directed at children" have very interesting storylines and good character development, and find a way to appeal outside of the demographic. It is annoying that Toei, especially with DokiDoki (or so most people say on here), has been fine with delivering the bare minimum. That is all they need to do, because Precure is selling as well as ever, if not better than ever. But as fans of the show we can still voice our opinions on what we don't like and what we would like to see. We are not saying Toei will listen to us, or that Precure "needs to change" and that we have a way to make that happen. We are just discussion the show on a level above "wow Cure Lovely totally danced this episode". |
| Okay, pal, let's try to see if your theory that Japanese are all ADHD children holds weight. For this we shall use this video of a remake of the OP for Combattler V since it has lots of colors and explosions and shit. I'll translate a couple comments and see how they hold up. 非常に異なるwwwww Totally different lololololol ガルーダがイケメン過ぎるｗｗｗｗ Garuda is too much of a hunk lolololol アニメで見たい！ I want to see this as an anime! コンＶは体重550tであって質量550tでは無いんだよね、合体の時や空中戦の時なんかになんの推進力も無く浮いてる時がある。つまり何もしない状態でも重量軽減効果があるんだよ。きちんと質量で表記すればもっと重くなるはず、そうでなければ超電磁スピンの破壊力も説明できないよ。 Com V has a weight of 550 tons, but not a mass of 550 tons, as when combining or when having aerial battles it floats without any means of propulsion. If its mass was listed properly it'd be a lot heavier, as otherwise there is no explanation for the destructive power of the Super Electromagnetic Spin. 絵は良いけど、曲は違う・・・ヤッターマンの高見沢verみたいｗ The art is good, but the music is off... It's kinda like the Takamizawa version of Yatterman, lol 人間の身長と体重の比率に比べたらそれだとすごく軽いんですよ、実は。 Actually it's really light when compared to a human's proportions. 今風な絵も悪くないけど、どうせなら安彦絵にして欲しかったな Modern artstyles aren't bad, but I still prefer the Yasuhiko artwork. And so on. You get the picture by now, they talk about a lot of stuff. Meanwhile every third English message is stuck in the "LOL CROTCHMISSILE" part, when only one Japanese comment mentions it. So yeah, the "Japanese care only about pretty drawings" myth has been BUSTED. |
| Hey... uhm.... this is the same guy who killed off a fairy and a cure's dad for GOOD, and Megumi's mom is sick.... He wouldn't.... you know... ? |

Psajdak said: Btw, it's kinda cowardly to call people stupid over Internet for no reason, that's something you say in someone's face, if you dare, that is. I don't know if I consider it cowardly, only because the option of calling you stupid to your face isn't available. BUT if if were, I would gladly take it, even if I didn't think you're stupid, just because of this comment. I'm kinda sad that they skipped Suite in favor of Happy and not someone else from Smile. I think it would be kinda hilarious if they skipped Doki and just went back to Splash Star, just cause. |

| Well, on lj people says that the next cure will be Egret, so... :3 (http://asahi.co.jp/precure/happiness/story/ - link, Cure Egret marked yellow) edit: and I was happy to see Happy <3 Smile is my favourite. |

Psajdak said: Japanese more prefer illogical things All you will hear is: sugoi, sugoi, sugoi, sugoi, sugoi... They never comment on logic, characters, or story it's just that they enjoy more brainless stuff. If you can honestly look at any of these things and say "what's racist about this?", then bro, you've got some gross issues you need to sort out. Either that or you need education. |

| This was an alright episode. Nothing special, but still pretty good. The one thing I did enjoy most was that Cure Happy was in it and by episode 5. Happy is one of my favorite Cure's of Smile and Precure. I like how the fact that the Cures, are using the cards they collect. Seeing as most team's don't use any of the item's they get. Learning about Megumi's wish was nice. Only thing that bothered was it felt like the crammed 4 lessons in 1 episode. That was just a bit odd to me. |

| Cure Happy! love her voice actor Fukuen Misato :D It's pretty interesting how they use the Precure Cards to help the people out. I freaking knew they would changed into nurse outfit when the dog was hurt XD Seems Cure Lovely's mom has some kind of sickness :( Queen Mirage should really do the work herself is she's really that annoyed about the super ultra happiness that emits from the city. Never knew Hosshiwa's voice actor is Okamura, Akemi :D Cure Princess saves the day!! They really should shout Ora Ora Ora or Muda Muda Muda when they do the hundred punch technique XD Can't wait for more episodes! I hope more Cure Smile or Fresh Precure characters appear in the 10th year anniversary thanks messages :) |
| Even without watching episode 5 yet I can say seeing Cure Happy made me miss her. Such a tease. This season is only doing so well for me like a bunch of rehashing. Also pink hair this season isn't being a bit too helpful like Mana last season? Ehh hypocrites. She like a blend of Cure Happy and Mana. |

| Seeing Cure Happy at the start made me smile so much n_n This was a bit more average episode compared to the previous nice ones, I definitely agree with wanting to help others is always a good thing, but maybe it was too spammed this episode, still fun nonetheless. |
