Pro tip: don't cut your own hair unless you want it to look like shit.
Another tip: If you insist on cutting your own hair, don't use shitty scissors like that.

Such results were to be expected.

I'd suggest starting with the original. It is one of the best and might give you a feel of what everything else stems from if you decide to continue with any of the latter series. That's just me though.

I wouldn't be surprised.
The baby this time around is particularly annoying and needy. It's crying can apparently pause time and be heard from miles away. They spent most of one ep just hunting down a mother to shut the baby up.
It feels a bit shoehorned, but does make some sense. Little girls play with dolls after all and in many cases it might be those baby style ones. If they like seeing this sort of thing in precure however, who knows.

Well that was disappointing. Aside from some last ep baton passing in the past two seasons, we've never seen precure from previous seasons meet up like this outside of the movies which always felt like they existed in their own sort of canon.
It was cool seeing the strongest precure show up to completely own this enemy, but it was disappointing and kind of jarring how they were swept into the background almost as soon as they showed up. There's very little interest shown into how they got there or why, what their own experiences as precure were like, who or what they fought, what they can learn from each other, how many others are out there and so on. Instead they're treated like cousins visiting from out of town there to just hang out and not get in the way as the main characters deal with main character issues. "Who gives a shit if precure from an alternate dimension or something just fell out of the sky, our friends are having a mild disagreement of some sort." But to be fair, one of their friends is an android so I guess at this point nothing would surprise the main cast. Still, even if it is just a cheap gimmick in a show made for kids, I would have loved to see them do more with the cross over, like explore the connection between all the different precure groups and do some world building or something. The cross over movies never really touch on this and basically toss all the characters together like they're just part of a big club hanging out untill a bad guy starts trouble. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I was hoping for something here, anything, and got nothing. It does make me wonder if we'll see more of this in the future.

(and yeah I realize at the time of posting this I'm really far behind, so sue me.)

But the bad guys ended up doing the same thing, getting lumped into the other precure worlds, and having an overall grand 'ol time.

While I agree that more cross-series character bonding would be amazing, there's so god damned many of them that a single movie wouldn't give enough time to really do it justice -- which is made all that much worse when they add in a new girl and waste the entire movie on her.

What we really need is a more expanded version of all the cures split into teams by color and playing juumangi-like board games against each other.

Also, world building goes out the window in many ways just to make the crossover: it generally messes up the timelines of the series itself in order to bring back dead enemies, while at the same time using the 'old' precure attacks from the beginning/middle of their respective series inspite of the newer mid-season cure already being there.

What a crappy moral lesson. You can't and shouldn't compare emotional strength to physical strength. That fire creature deciding to live on a water planet is NOT the same thing as these girls using their physical strength to pump up that fire and working themselves to the point of collapsing. These girls did their best and have nothing to be ashamed of, especially as no one helped.

Why is it that aliens in scifi from around the world almost always have humanoid bodies with only the head being weird?
>> No. 34022 [Edit]
>>34020
It's actually highly likely they would look quite similar to us. We see in Madagascar this occurrence where animals will evolve to look similar to an animal elsewhere even though they are not actually related. It's likely advanced life would be similar with animals evolving for certain roles and then some of those evolving into human like life. They would not be exactly the same but they would be quite similar.

I'd argue that convergent evolution occurs because of a common ancestor and biosphere as well as >>34023.
>> No. 34025 [Edit]
>>34024
well that's the thing, they don't have such a common ancestor that would explain it, they are unrelated. It would not be convergent evolution if they had such a common ancestor, the definition of convergent evolution is that they share a trait or form that was not present in their nearest shared ancestor.

As for Carbon based life, it's possible. It's been proven that non-carbon based life is possible to create. However, the ability for that life to developed into advanced life and how common that kind of life would be are completely different things.
>> No. 34026 [Edit]
>>34025
What I meant to say is that ultimately all life form on earth can possibly be traced back to a single common ancestor, there is a possibility of carbon-based life form evolving elsewhere that are completely independent of life on earth and their evolutionary pathway and selection could be divergent to the ones we know. Perhaps there are certain traits that might be similar and necessary for intellectual life to form such as the use of language and a method to use tools (i.e. opposable thumb) but other than that they could have evolved very differently. I've read that dolphins could have potentially evolved to become human-like but are held back by the fact that they lack opposable thumbs.

Healin' Good Precure Had a really strong start.
The production design and direction felt top notch. It seemed very polished.

Felt to me like they were doing tons of callbacks to older seasons too.
The monsters seem like the Oshimaida from HUGtto! Pretty Cure. The outfit designs look like the ones from Princess precure while having a flower theme and mascots like the ones from Heart Catch.. There's a pastry van featured a few times that seems like a possible callback to the Tako Café in the original. The ocean side setting looks a lot like the one from Splash Star. The background art is styled in a way like yes precure 5. This is also the first time since the original series we've had a black haired main character, not counting dark blue/purple here. People also kept pointing out early on that the group shared the same color theme as heart catch, and princess, but I don't think that's too weird. There's probably more I'm missing.

For anyone who might be curious. Rather than having dead air during the usual time precure would air, They've been filling the time slots by reairing the season again from the start. Question is at the moment if they're going to pick back up once they get to ep 12, or if they'll delay this again due to the second outbreak in japan, and if so if they'd repeat this season a third time.

Yeah the movies are kind of a mess. I only got around to watching them all not that long ago. Some are fun and nice, but the majority are horrible. The world building is the least of their problems. I feel like they're an increasingly hard to pull off project each year as more and more characters get added in every time. managing 40+ characters in a single movie while ensuring they make time for all of the characters attacks and transformations and other expected elements, setting up a new story and villain, this on top of still having to work on the main series and another movie in the same year dedicated to the current season... It's amazing they can pull off what they do, even if it is a mess. borrowing just a single character from each series seems like the only logical way to go on.

It's pretty amazing how they took on this topic. Bad people love to take advantage of good people and make them feel like they themselves are bad people if they aren't letting themselves be taken advantage of. I could have sworn they were going to let the main character get used because it's the "right thing to do", after all last weeks ep portrayed her as cowardly and selfish for not giving in when she had all the reason in the world not to. It made this really hard to watch for a bit there, to see Grace get manipulated like that. It's awesome to see her stand up for herself in the end and not just take it. It's a very unexpectedly nice message to send kids, especially from something Japanese, to not just let people walk all over you. Anime tends to encourage the opposite after all.

They don't say it outright (for obvious reasons), but are about as clear as they can be without being blunt about it.

I'll explain. Pretty big spoilers here:

Nodoka, the pink precure of the season, aka Cure Grace was introduced as someone who recently recovered from being very sick before moving into town.
During the series, the villains corrupt random objects and people, which can make them corrupt other things, like a disease. The villains find they can harvest gem like objects from things they corrupted, and when used in later corrupted objects, it makes them even more powerful.
One of the villains named Daruzien decides to say what the hell and j-j-jams one of these into cure grace while fighting her.
This causes Grace/Nodoka to get sick and hospitalized just like when she was younger. After working her way though it, the evil force in her gets expelled, into the form of another villain who looks a lot like Daruzien, the one who assaulted her, just not all there. Like an unwanted pregnancy, she aborts this new creature.
It's at this point we learn that Daruzien was born from Grace/Nodoka when she was hospitalized before.
Needless to say, these two have an odd relationship at this point. Daruzien is still an evil little bastard without a shred of compassion however, and almost seems to enjoy tormenting Grace/Nodoka even more now that he learned she's essentially his mother.
(I still didn't connect the dots myself at this point, maybe because I wasn't looking for them.)
Later, Daruzien gets into some trouble with his boss, the big baddy of the series. He's in rough shape and drops in on Nodoka unexpectedly. He tells her that the only way he can heal, is if she lets him in her again. She doesn't want to and runs away while him and the framing of the show make her feel like a bad selfish person for not giving in. But after some depression and talking it over, she realizes she shouldn't feel bad for not letting that horrible person use and abuse her. She stands up for herself, and kicks his ass while telling him that her body is hers alone and no one else's.

So in short. This girl is hospitalized, gives birth. Is later assaulted, hospitalized again, gives another unwanted birth, gets an abortion, and is then guilt tripped and manipulated into letting an abusive douchebag have his way with her body, again.
Daruzien is basically an abusive stalker boyfriend and rape baby in one.

The last ep of healin' good feels like the most lazily done baton pass ep since they started doing them. Cure Summer literally falls out of the sky, gets knocked out, and flies back into the sky a few minutes later as soon as she wakes up. Made me think "...what the fudge was the point of that?"

>world building goes out the window in many ways just to make the crossover: it generally messes up the timelines of the series itself in order to bring back dead enemies, while at the same time using the 'old' precure attacks from the beginning/middle of their respective series inspite of the newer mid-season cure already being there.


I've got a theory about this.
What if, all precure series take place at roughly the same time?
If you look at not only the crossover movies, but the rare cameo appearances from one series to another, the characters don't look any older at all, characters from a 10+ year old series showing up in a modern one should look at least a little older right? The characters -do- in fact age after all, we've seen as much at the end of series like hugtto and maho and star twinkle.
So if these characters age normally, which they do, but show up together looking the same as they did in their original series, that alone should say something about their timeline placement.
Precure Miracle Leap, one of the most recent crossover movies, makes a reference to Kasugano, Urara while showing her looking the way she did in her series. Being a well known actress, a lot of people would notice if she never aged a day over the past ten years, not that there's any reason why she wouldn't anyway, she's just a normal human, Most precure are.

We the viewer assume it all takes place in real time, one event after another year after year, precure in one region fix a problem, then another one pops up somewhere else. But who's to say that's the case? Maybe all of japan is being attacked at roughly the same time? Why would these villain organizations take turns attacking japan anyway? If anything it would make more sense to attack during an attack somewhere else and take advantage of the distraction.
If they really did take turns, as one might assume they are, then why don't old precure help with new villains outside of crossover movies? Well, if they all take place at the same time then they can't, they're busy fighting their own bad guys.
Another thing to take note of here is that it's very hard to date these series. They don't make many real world references, there aren't cars or electronics or what have you to go off of. Unless I'm mistaken, you don't even see characters use smart phones. For all we know the current season could take place 10-20 years ago. We have no idea what year it is for any precure series.

I don't think they all start at the same time mind you. There's just a large and ever increasing overlap. One could say a few weeks go by after the first series before splash star starts, then another couple weeks and Precure 5 starts. Some time goes by, maybe a month or two and these three groups have their first meeting in "Precure All Stars GoGo Dream Live!", then go back to their own fights in their own regions. Maybe a week or two go by and so starts Fresh Precure, and soon after the events of "Precure All Stars Movie DX: Minna Tomodachi☆Kiseki no Zenin Daishuugou!" then yet again, the four groups go their separate ways and continue doing what they do with their own separate problems. And so it continues on, every couple weeks a new organization attacks a new part of japan, and it also becomes a routine tradition at some point shortly after each new group pops up they all get together to welcome them and kick some arse together.

I think this can help explain why there's no military or law enforcement involvement. These attacks are happening so often while being so wide spread, it can be hard to even keep track of. You might have Fresh and Maho fighting off monsters on monday in their individual areas, then Tropical, Splash, Heartcatch and Princess fighting monsters on Tuesday. And in Charge it was mentioned various times that there are precure all around the world fighting their own battles, all at the same time charge takes place.

This might not explain the old attacks, but this is how you can have dead enemies make appearances in later crossover movies, they aren't dead (yet).

Setting all the action segments in Monument Valle seems like a really weird design decision. They do this kind of thing for a bunch of practical reasons in super sentai. It's cheaper, and easier to film in those locations and they can use pyrotechnics without bothering anyone, ect Not to mention they can film a bunch of stuff back to back and edit it in later.
I can't understand why they would do it for something 2D. Past precure series have had boring enough fights without this. Now you just have the same exact bland and uninspired location every ep. It also feels like it really lowers the stakes if the fights take place in a safe little bubble.
If they're trying to save time/money by recycling background art, I haven't noticed. I've been zoning out more than ever when the fights start.

There's potential for a fantastic doujin otome game about Kokone breaking out of her shell and romancing the cast.

I think it's meant to be okay because he takes it up the butt, so that makes him non-threatening to the girls while simultaneously protecting him from criticism by people who would be labeled as <derogatory noun> for complaining about him being there. Why they felt precure needed such a character? Hell if I know. It could be someone at Toei pushing a political agenda, but it's such a weird place to do it. Maybe their goal is to indoctrinate children from an early age? If anyone honestly thinks it's a creative decision, I have a bridge to sell them. He simply doesn't belong. Even if you put the sexuality aside, they're simply too old to be hanging out with kids like that. A middle aged woman hanging out with the group would be just as awkward. He's a tacked on third wheel in an already problematic season. It's like this season is a poorly made burnt cake, and he's the raw fish they slapped on top of it.

Has anyone here been keeping up with the latest precure? The current season is actually pretty good for a change. I think they realized the quality was really falling and things were getting very stagnate on top of that. Feels like a real return to form this time around, while also trying to make things fresh. This is the first time they've ever had a non-pink for a lead, they also included a 18 year old cure and a male cure. Things overall feel better written, with better character dynamics and fights that actually have half way decent choreography.
I don't think I'd call it the best season ever, but they're at least 'trying' this time around, and it shows.

PreCure got old to me when they picked the most boring outcome to the Nodoka/Daruizen storyline. The changes for the series brought me back. Wing's introduction episode is probably my favorite one for any Cure ever, and I also really like Ageha, so I'm excited for Butterfly's debut.

TR did have some fun elements to it. If you liked Smile precure you might enjoy it, but a lot of people disliked the direction they took with the mermaid.

DP was indeed about as lazy as you can get. The theme was flimsy and better done in à la Mode. The animation was bad, writing was weak, characters forgettable. stakes were low (until the very end). The subplot with the middle aged guy and his former friend and teacher wasn't very interesting to me. They even teleported the characters to the same exact location for the second half of every ep, adding to how repetitive it all felt. It had decent character designs but that was all.

This has some oddly depressing undertones so far, with how upbeat and optimistic precure usually is. It opens with messages about global warming and pollution, and we find the old gang mostly succeeded in following their dreams but doesn't seem like it's really working out as well as they'd have hoped. From a teacher failing to help her students to an artist that can't get a job. They're all Christmas cakes too.

It's probably safe to assume adults who watched the original as children are struggling now that they're adults, so I guess it's probably the theme they're working towards, to not give up hope.

I'm watching it. The show is pretty much carried by Mayu and Yuki. The characters and their relationship is something you should be looking forward to. Additionally, the voice acting is brilliant.

On a side note, Komugi is annoying but I'm not usually a fan of idiots.

I love how in this season they defeat the monsters with hugs and kindness.

That sounds an awful lot like an abusive relationship.

I fell behind but I'm trying to get caught up. I forgot how cute this season can be.

Thought this was pretty interesting. It's like a real world measurement of character popularity.

IIRC I once saw some anime where a girl saw such stickers sold and the one with her printed wasn't selling and she got upset. Or maybe I'm imagining. By the way there was an anime where anime and manga characters would become alive to fight against something. There was a huge robot and a girl with a sword of fire. I don't remember the name, don't you know it!? Please somebody...
