| The ending looks absolutely hideous, I had to skip over it. I don't know but there's something...weird about the character art style/colouring. I really don't like how they colour their hair, it looks so weird x.x Other than that, the episode itself was fine I guess. Hime has the potential to undergo some character development, which I strongly hope she does otherwise I might not be able to continue watching (I felt like punching her several times ~-~). |
| Finally I sae the first episode of Happiness charge. And I'll say this: If Smile has elements from tes pre cure 5, Happiness charge has elements from Heartcatch. the villain of the episode resemble Cobraja and both Lovely and princess are like Bloosom and Marine (in design basically) |
RPGX_Omega said: Urgh. I don't know. Don't care for it much so far. Megumi seems like another Mana and no one is complaining about that? Despite my fears, so far they seem different: Mana: Here, I'll do your job for you and everyone praises me for that broken moral because I be Mana. Megumi: I like helping people and AAAAH! I tripped... Yeah. |
| We've passed the point where people can just look at the series for what it is. Almost all the posts are just comparing it to previous Precure series. Not only do I think it is way too early to do so (there are only two episodes out, who knows what could happen), but I think it takes away from the enjoyment of the series to just be like "this girl is a Mana clone" and "oh this looks like some sort of meld of Smile and Heartcatch". Drawing comparisons is fine, but it seems like everyone is just already judging this series based on connections they are making to previous Precures. |
| Only real beef I have with this series is that they cut corners on Cure Lovely's transformation. Her movements are very simple, they too many static shots and combined them with very close close-ups (for example when she puts her hair and feet ribbons) and reduced the frames on certain parts (this is more obvious when she gets the wing ribbons and bag). Compared to that, Cure Princess' transformation is so dynamic and full of movement with many frames and cute movements, they went all out with it. If I knew they were gonna fix it, I would have no problems, but once it's out, it's out (a testament to that is Cure Lemonade's messed-up hand). From the whole series that's the only thing they'll reuse for movies, so for me it's even doubly annoying when they go cheap on the transformations. Another beef is that I think the character designs and Cure uniforms look too generic (Lovely's hair really doesn't change besides getting longer and a slightly color, unlike Cure Princess who looks great in her transformation when she gets her pigtails) but then again that's just my own preference. One thing that I'd like them to change already. Precure so far has either a 5 team girl or a pink/blue team + yellow and violet, and they use the second option way too much (there's only two 5 team Cures). I'd like them to change this a bit and use other colors, at least for the secondary Cures. So far I'm liking it though, it's nice to see that the blue Precure comes before the pink one, seeing the actual 'damage' the Terribads leave unless they defeat them (from the first ep we can assume there are quite a few and for so long people treat it as something normal, wtf). I hope they put a bit more effort with the story this time, they went awfully simplistic the last two seasons. |

Actually, Cure Lovely is a tribute to classic magical girl transformation. It was simple, but rather refreshing to see. |
| Oh my god, Cure Hime is instant favourite! Her performance and her fairy had me laughing throughout the whole episode. I even love the types of faces they pull when reacting to something and I'm glad there was a lot of that in this episode. Happy to hear a recent voice I'm familiar with as Cure Fortune as well. All in all, I'm happily surprised by this ep. It felt like Precure has gone back to being more fun and lighthearted, with jokes at every turn. Love the art style of the characters and their transformations. A really promising start in my eyes, I hope this continues. |

Megumi: I like helping people and AAAAH! I tripped... Yeah. Well. Still a bit of a copy just [insert difference here so not be a clone]. I thought she was going to be a descendant or something at first. But ya the shows don't combine like that except All Stars series... and only to a point at that. Yakuri said: seeing the actual 'damage' the Terribads leave unless they defeat them (from the first ep we can assume there are quite a few and for so long people treat it as something normal, wtf). Ya. I thought they were carrying the idea of DokiDoki's ending over into this show. Haven't seen the newer episodes yet. |
| I think it's kinda hard for the Precure writers to keep the girls all different and varied considering there are 10 seasons now and they need to keep it as small kiddie friendly as possible. They struggle but can't deviate from certain personalities when they're so limited. sentience said: Actually, Cure Lovely is a tribute to classic magical girl transformation. It was simple, but rather refreshing to see. I'm not talking about the style per se, but the cut corners in the animation production, which has nothing to do with whether it's a tribute or not. I'd have no beef if that was the case, but it's definitely not. |

I'm not quite a fan of the 5 Precure team set up, but even more than that I wish they would use other colors. Or even just a different shade, instead of the same shade of blue every single time. I would love to see another orange and for once a green precure whose design I liked. |

I don't care about the 5 Precure formula either, I mean they could just go for the 3 or 4 team formula all they want, but yeah just freaking use other colors. Why must it be pink/blue/yellow/violet all the time? And I agree even the shades and color palette used are too similar (all purples are pale for example) I love Cure March for both design, personality and color (my favourite color) but I totally agree that we need more green ones. I don't like Mint at all (neither design or personality) but there are only two green ones in the whole freaking franchise. |
| Leaving aside the first three series, Fresh was Pink/Blue/Yellow/Red and Suite was Pink/White/Blue/Yellow. I'd say purple only got bad on the latest two seasons, given they're literally half the seasons with purple Cures. But yes, having more variety would be great. |

I liked March, as a character(from what I've seen, I still need to finish Smile), but her hair was definately a little much, at least for me. There has been only one orange cure, and just 3 red cures. I think I would really enjoy it if they cut the pink cure out (Although I realize that will never happen) and replace her with a red cure as the main. I really enjoyed the way Passion looked. White cures would also be a nice addition, such as Rhythm from Suite. They really could spruce up their colors and it would make the next season feel fresh. |

| My First Precure show :) Tbh, i wanted to watch Fresh Precure first, since it's probably the only Precure series that uses a much older cast(still look young mind you) compared to the rest of the series. But since this is the 10th Anniversary of the franchise, what better way to watch it with a brand new show celebrating it's 10th anniversary ^^ So far soo good! Lots of all star voice cast here and i'm glad to hear Megumi Nakajima!! Funny she voices a character name Megumi! I do wonder if it was a coincidence or the character was named after her. And she seems more livelier compared to her other role in another anime: Ranka Lee from Macross Frontier. It's good that she's getting more different roles now and not just Ranka Lee's voice. Megumi Han is cute as well!! Looks like this will be a more duo approach style of play. Can't wait for the next episodes! So excited!!!! |
| The first episode was pretty good. The character seem really good, I like how the world is already in a battle with the new bad guys, the transformation were cool. Overall I like how this show is starting. |
| Hime's way of choosing her first friend was pretty amusing.She straight up just chucked the thing and picked whoever it hit lol. Pretty basic/by the books start by precure standards but still enjoy these types of beginnings.They always feel so full of potential and wonder in the beginning. Like how will this series be different?Which series will it be most similar to?How will rank compared to previous series? |
| For what I see HapCha is considered one of the worst, if not the worst Precure, but so far I really liked to absolutely loved every single one I watched (Hugtto, Heartcatch, Princess, Smile, Futari wa and Fresh) to feel worried, let's see if this one is another solid addition to my collection of awesome Precure! Episode 1 had enough peeks for the whole season, all the stalking by Hime was nice.  I really liked the introduction of Lovely and Princess, the first is so wholesome and and cheerful, the other is so adorkable, she reminds me to Cure Marine. Setting-wise, the most interesting element so far is that it looks like the Precure are already very popular and known unlike the other ones I watched so far where they either go close to unkown or they take their time to become popular once they start showing up more and more to save the day, looks like the planet in this world is already suffering quite hard by the attacks of the villains... and Fortune is hella mad at Princess due to her incompetence, I need to know more about their situation! |
 |
| The bad guys cover the world in mold, ew Pretty much everything is diffrent this time it seems: different animation style, different setup (precure are a common thing in everyday life), different transformation system. Though the latter reminds me of aikatsu/pretty series with the use of cards to transform. And it looks as if not every cure has her own fairy this time. |
