I watched the DX All Stars Movie for Fresh Precure! This special was EXTREMELY special, and featured all Zakenna, Uzainaa, Kowainaa, and Hoshinaa come together as one MEGA MONSTER, a shadow that wants to simply envelop everything in darkness! (generic villains work when they're essentially made to be destroyed by the Cures every week, so it's fine). All the fairies had a meeting in the Palmier Kingdom about the dangerous unnamed shadow thing, which has been appearing and attacking all of the groups of Precures and absorbing their attacks, then leaving. They also put a different set of mascots with each set of characters (for instance, Saki and Mai met Coco and Nuts, and Yes 5 met Lulun, etc). This was a great way to set this up, and ended up with Chiffon being left alone holding a Miracle Light and everyone was afraid she got absorbed. Eventually the shadow thing makes the entire sky turn black and EVERY CURE meets up downtown at the central area
It's SOOO badass when they have their theme songs play as they kick ass to their own monsters from their seasons, and we get to really see the differences in combat here: Black and White rely on pure physical power almost exclusively and Hikari uses hope and light, Saki and Mai have these "forcefield" powers in the series (they have unnamed magic abilities, like the ability to charge up and blast themselves into the sky or make a magic shield to lessen an impact), Yes 5 relies on weaponry AND physical-based magic (Sapphire Arrow, Prism Chain, Shooting Star, etc) and Fresh does more of a Dance Dance Revolution game than a fight XD everything is amazingly choreographed and all of the characters pop right off the screen, none overshadowing another one. They're all just as entertaining, and they all combine of the greatest power ups ever seen: Extreme Luminario, Twin Stream Splash, and Rainbow Rose Explosion combined with a new attack from Fresh that looks like a TRIPLE BLAST AT ONCE that I haven't seen in the series yet, and the monster is destroyed. Before long the movie has ended not overstaying its welcome and we get lots of credit shots of all the Cures bonding
It was amazing to see Yes 5 try to find the Tako Cafe, while Saki and Mai visit Nuts House and Nagisa goes to Pan Paka Pan to try the chocolate cornets XDDDD and we get a group photo of everyone, mascots included, as the final credit scene, all smashed into a huge photo XDDDD! In case you couldn't tell I think I'm loving All Stars this is easily the best part of the series and this one gets a solid 9/10!
