New pinned cause last one is ancient.
Greetings, I am Jouhei(Jou for short). I'm a somewhat varied account who likes yapping about Megaten, Megaman, Madoka Magica, Lyrical Nanoha, Gundam, Kamen Rider and some other stuff. I also write fanfiction on AO3 https://t.co/GwPE13Lmcu
@Nornecutiepie Yeah, there's a lot to make up for since Anna and Mikuru have kernels of a character arc that hasn't gotten going yet. And I dread Mikuru got it the worst cause her character really did start and end on "Anna's mom" and exploring Mikuru would make that plot thread obvious.
I know I've been quite mixed on Star Detectives, the twist was pretty damn blatant once she got her episode, but the execution of it happening at all was so damn good. This is a Cure debut I can say is worthy of getting an edit with Moonlight's theme blasting in the background.
@Rei_eiiii8 My inner cynic keeps saying Rei has the potential to be a Dark Cure manipulated by her desire for strength to help her friends that is somehow brainwashed into being a villain until she gets saved(whether she remains a Cure or not doesn't matter tbh)
@Nornecutiepie I'm a big believer of "Mikuru Mom" and thus, I can understand the duo blending together because Mikuru would grow into the woman who raised Anna, so overlap is expected. But they REALLY needed others to chat with to develop an identity tbh.
@Nornecutiepie I could see Luluka as a sorta foil to Anna, the problem is the show did NOTHING to explore how they feel about each other beyond surface level stuff.
I also really don't like how Anna and Mikuru hold each other back. Cause whenever they're separated, they're way more compelling.
@Nornecutiepie Lowkey theorize Luluka and Eclair were the MCs in earlier development and we got Anna and Mikuru to sorta be our "standard Pretty Cures"
@romanceflag This is a PreCure show, why get so anal over someone say a show is silly in a silly way. Especially right after the comparatively serious Suite.
@milcery@misswhynowhy Yes5 is actually pretty fun all things considered, however it has bottom tier mascot Coco, who sucks even if him being their teacher wasn't icky to you.
5Gogo is, much like Max Heart, a meh sequel with some decent animation at times(and sometimes AMAZING animation)
@misswhynowhy@romanceflag I mean, I'm just saying the show feels like I took too many meds and everything feels out of context sometimes. It's about as much of a meme machine as Tropical Rouge
@milcery@misswhynowhy Dokidoki is what I'll watch once I'm done with Smile. I'm mostly following release order(only having broken it to watch Tropical Rouge)
If I had a nickel for every early 2010s Magical Girl with a music theme named Hibiki, I'd have two nickels. It's kinda hilarious we had two of those so close to each other. After finishing Suite PreCure, I can say it's a worthy successor to Heartcatch, it's my second favorite rn.
@Nornecutiepie There's something kinda sad that Chris lacking a particularly clear ship probably helped her actually get a proper arc(and even then XV kinda hates her). That said, Chris is basically a walking trigger warning given her backstory is almost cartoonishly grim.
