i'm the type of person that picks a show that piques my interest and binge it all in one sitting because i have nothing better to do. this show just so happened to be the one i picked today. 12 episodes later and, boy, i have a bone to pick.

first point, erika lied to fit in with these girls so she could make friends, which isnt THAT bad. however, the girls in question. they are. so annoying. the word 'friends' doesn't even describe them. they literally talk shit behind erika's back and tried to embarrass her infront of kyoya. but even so the two ... still stayed friends with erika until the very end! erika's only good friend didn't even get screentime, i dont remember her name, and if she wasn't in the show she would've probably made zero difference to the plot. also one of them is dating an adult and nobody says anything. girl ur literally a victim <3

the plot, what is the plot again? kyoya treats erika like a literal dog in return for keeping up her lies. kyoya is a jerk. and when i say that i mean it. but somehow, erika still falls in love with him?? also, by like episode nine if i recall correctly, they start dating for real so the plot is irrelevant.

But yeah, kyoya is just a douchebag who does nothing but make erika cry. like literally all the time, erika just cries. it got to the point where i was like "oh. she's crying again." but wait!! there's this other guy, (literally forgot his name so let's call him uh. steve.) and he's so perfect for erika! steve is kind, timid, humble, etc etc. erika and steve really got along so well and he said himself that he's never make erika cry or treat her bad, unlike how kyoya does all the time. like, erika gave some chocolate to steve because he didn't get any, and kyoya just refused to eat the chocolate outright. and for what reason?? He even said he uses erika just to kill time. And so, erika finally stopped fake dating him. I was so happy, plus erika has a new guy who treats her so much better. No. No, erika doens't like him. GIRL WHAT DO YOU WANT?? AND THEN SHE GOES BACK TO KYOYA?? i was literally so mad. look, i don't like calling the bubbly-protagonist type characters annoying but erika pissed me off then. So after that we never saw steve again. he was the best character in the show. and then he just disappeared.

but you know who we DO see again? this other douchebag nozomi. he's a jerk in a way where he doesn't just two-time, no, apparently he dates like 500 girls at once and is determined to...make kyoya cheat on erika..? he's just. so insufferable. my god. but he...redeems himself? i guess?? well not to me, i literally hate him. but he stays in the show until the end. nozomi stays in the show. and not STEVE.

uhh i think thats all the things that annoy me in the show. the opening song was alright though, and the production was good. like, it wasn't boring, i guess. i like shoujo, romance, slice of life and comedy. not to mention im kind of the target demographic for this show, i think. do i recommend? no. unless you're a die-hard shoujo fan or you have nothing better to do with your life like me.

ah yes. sakura trick. thats one i havent thought about in a good couple of years.
little eight year old me found this anime and was absolutely mesmerised. yes, this anime was quite literally my gay awakening.
....then why am i writing a bad review? well when this anime suddenly popped into my mind again i thought to myself "....wait...this anime was...so weird."
of course, i am no longer eight years old. now, being almost a teenager, my mind and opinions has grown and matured with me. and what is my opinion on this show? it's mediocre at best and weird and fetishy and worst.

this show ... holds such a special place in my heart, as mentioned beforehand, but i simply cannot say that this show is good nor do i recommend it to anyone okay, the plot. i havent watched this anime in a good three years so forgive me if i get something wrong but if i remember correctly, our main protagonist haruka gets jealous of her crush, yuu, making other friends and then they kiss so they can make their relationship special or something. now right off the bat, WHAT??? i relate to haruka, i really do, i have major jealousy issues but i dont make a big deal out of it, i just watch it happen, because it is what it is. also, how the hell do you kiss like every day and still be like "oh yeah nah we're just friends though." i mean, you gotta kiss the homies goodnight i guess!! respect. /s.
ummm....nah thats the plot. im not even joking that literally the whole entire plot. nothing happens. you know what the real plot of this show is? haruka and yuu kissing. i kid you not, all their kissing scenes adds up to atleast 25 minutes. the reason people watch this show (presumably men who get no bitches) is to look at two girls--who are CHILDREN--kissing and they probably jerk off to it because they're some greasy freaks. thats wrong on like, two levels. stop sexualising lesbians and stop jerking off to children you sick fucks.

the characters are not much different to the plot. they are as bland as a sheet of paper. hell, i cant even tell you the characters names, let alone their personalities. oh, but if it couldnt get any worse, no. it CAN get worse. you see, theres two side characters who have their romantic subplot of their own, awww....AAAAAAA?!!?!? well apparently not because THEY ARE COUSINS. YEP. COUSINS. im not even gonna comment any further.

the voice acting wasnt bad but jesus christ they put so much effort into the kiss scenes like their rent was due.

overall, it has a special place in my heart but with all due respect this show is icky and if you like it im going to assume you smell bad, have no girlfriend and i would kindly ask you to stand atleast 6 feet away from me <3

Woah. I was not expecting that. And the other thing I did not expect was all the low ratings this show got ;~;

When I heard this was the 'among us of anime' I immediately jumped into the first episode. I'm gonna try and keep it as spoiler-free as possible ^^

Story
10/10 no questions asked. The first episode is basically an MHA wannabe, until the end. The twist left me with my mouth wide open. Instead of trying to find the killer, you need to figure out a way to not get caught DOING the murder. Every episode was really good!

Art
I don't really comment on art, ... but it was good. 7/10.

Sound
I also don't comment on this, but one thing was I never skipped the opening, so that's something. 7/10

Characters
I really like the characters! Nana, Kyoya, Michiru etc are great and Kyoya especially is funny at times.

Enjoyment
10/10. I enjoyed this anime a lot! it was tense, funny, all-around a good time!

Overall
this show was pretty damn good. The one thing stopping its 10/10 is the ending. like....what? that's it? really? like it was sad, for sure but are you really gonna end it on that? No Kyoya? No nothing? What I really wish this anime done was to wrap it up cleanly, but hey, the manga exists.

Okay, I've been a fan of the Precure franchise since 2019, it doesn't sound like a lot but I've watched a fair amount of seasons in that time. People could say that I would be the demographic for this franchise since I'm a young girl, so that's why my reasonings for not liking this show are not that strong of points than others but bear with me ;-;

The story was decent. It's like any other Precure plot, I don't have much to say. 4/10

The art could do better, I've seen better in terms of Precure like Star Twinkle, Kira Kira and HUGtto But it was ... okay I guess. 6/10

I don't really comment on the sound. I really liked the Op and ED1, but the ED2 was just...It was really a downgrade :/ 7/10

Characters...Okay, this one will be more detailed. So, since this was my first Precure season I will be witnessing start-to-finish, I was pretty hype, especially for the fact that It was the best logo in the series, I was hoping for a Pink and Green duo-it would make sense since Green is to do with health and Earth. But nOoOoOOOoo this is Precure we're talking about. A duo? A green cure? no way. So I was disheartened to see the Fresh formula, for about the 5th time in Precure. JESUS, can we please change the character colours and personalities up for once?!
Hinata, I liked her..at first. But something just changed about halfway into the season. I hate her now and I have no idea why. Maybe its because I really don't like dumb characters? (Bad in school kinda dumb)
Chiyu, she's just a normal blue cure whos sporty this time or something. This isn't a Cure Ange type character-SHE IS SO FORGETTABLE I EVEN FORGOT HER NAME FOR A SECOND!
Nodoka. Imagine this cast is so weak your favourite is the main character. Nodoka isn't even that good of a character for me. She's the main character but she's kinda quiet for a change but not like Tsubomi type shy.
Asumi. Oh, Asumi. Where do I start? Okay, first what were the character designers doing? Obviously, yeah the Earth is purple, therefore Cure Earth is Purple. Makes sense. Does Precure hate us that much? To make cure EARTH not even green? But enough about her colour. Her personality...WHY. JUST WHY? She's too dependent on Latte, that's the problem. It's as though she thinks the world revolves around Latte, Hell, she literally disappears if she isn't with Latte. Apart from that, she's good at fighting yet has no common sense. I just really, really don't like Asumi.
Overall on characters: 3/10

Enjoyment. I did not get any enjoyment from this show. It's as simple as that. 1/10

Overall, 2/10. It's down there with Doki Doki. Healing Good and Doki Doki are my least favourites. Thank god this is over because Tropical Rouge seems like a season with potential!

What I wanted in the last episode was to AT LEAST SEE IF THE VILLAINS ARE OKAY! I might have missed the episode where they showed the villains to be okay but I couldn't care less. I mean the villains were forgettable except for Daruizen, but I always need to know if the villains are okay, especially if one of those villains are my favourite in the whole franchise (cough cough Daruizen cough) I STILL HAVENT GOT THE REDEMPTION ARC FOR HIM-HE DID SOMETHING HORRIBLE TO NODOKA AND HE DIDNT EVEN REDEEM HIMSELF TwT as if I couldn't hate this season more...
But yeah if you're reading this trying to see if you want to watch this season, don't take my word for it. My reasonings and taste are weird after all. But just know there are better seasons out there!!

(I'm bad at writing reviews, sorry)

I have always been a sucker for moe slice of life animes like Anne Happy, which is a recommendation if you like this anime. This anime even made me want to pursue my childhood dream again, which is to be a manga artist.

Story
If I told you that the plot was 'four high school girls living in a dorm and making manga', you would automatically think that it was very, very boring. But OH BOY. This show's plot is so simple and so mundane, when you get on to watching it, something is just so charming about it! I really don't ... know how to describe it-its making the most normal thing and turning it into something that just makes you happy, like you are rooting for the protagonist's dream.

Art
The art style and animation are really good! It's colourful and feels so chill. I don't know how to critic it, The characters are so lively and colourful! Their designs are also really simple yet charming, my favourites being Kaos and Fuura.

Sound
I don't really care for the sound, for me, it's more about the story and art. But its Opening and Ending are both nice songs, that's all I can say.

Character
The characters are so charming and relatable, you really connect with the characters and route for them, There is no character I dislike in this anime. For a start, we have Kaos. She cries most of the time but she has a dream of being a mangaka, and I relate to her a lot. Then its Koyume, she acts just like a shoujo protagonist. She's bubbly and airheaded and is just lively all around. Then its Ruki, I love her a lot! She's mature-looking and cool but in this one episode, she states that she is insecure about her small breasts and about the type of manga she writes, ecchi. Tsubasa is next, she is really, really cool! She writes Shonen manga and she cosplays as her characters to motivate herself. And last but not least, My favourite character, Fuuka Suzu. Oh my. She writes horror manga and she likes scaring other people but she's also a kind but awkward person I relate to the most. Her personality is great BUT HER DESIGN. SHE IS SO PRETTY. (no homo ;-;)

Enjoyment
I enjoyed this anime a lot, and I mean A LOT. Charming characters, great art, pleasant comedy, this show was just an all-around good time, I highly reccomend!

Overall
9/10. The only thing that stopped me from giving it a 10 was Fuura not having that much screentime ;'(
Anyway, yeah, If you want a light and funny SoL with not that much plot and drama, go watch this! Its so pleasant!

(this will include spoilers, also I haven't written a review before so uh yeah-)

I'm not going to go into detail but I'm just going to write my thoughts. The characters were very good! we obviously have our happy pink main, a must for all Precure seasons. then we have our beloved smug witch Riko!! I love her so much! I don't know, something about her is just amazing but I don't know how to describe it. Mofurun was adorable and fun, most mascots in Precure are annoying brats, but Mofurun was just so nice and pleasant. Kotoha is a caffeinated pure baby and I will ... protect her with my life. I love how we got to see her grow,,, it was so cute to see Mirai and Riko (along with Mofurun of course) raise her-it was accomplishing in a way to see her turn human.

As a childhood Precure fan, I hold this franchise close to my heart. and there were only a few times it has made me cry, but to say that this shows ending made me cry was an understatement. oh boy. I SOBBED. We got to see our 3 heroines friendship grow and now that it has been ripped apart....Niagara falls were streaming down my eyes. I think I flooded my room. But that part that actually got those big 'ole crocodile tears churning out my eyes was when Mirai grew up and she got that stick and tried to bring Kotoha and Riko back... (at least I think that's what happened I haven't watched it in a while) But... episode 50....yeah I think we should all agree it should have not existed. SO IF MIRAI, RIKO AND KOTOHA ARE ADULTS WHEN THE KIRA KIRA GIRLS STARTED, CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THE LATER COLLAB MOVIES?!-

(also design-wise, the designs were probably Top 3 in the whole Precure franchise? I really liked them.)

Enjoyment 10/10
Overall 10/10
Ship 10/10 (Mirai x Riko will always be my Precure OTP)
my favourite Precure season so far!!!
