Spoiler for Ondul! Precure 08 -　Rubarida!:

Joe is suspicious. Way too suspicious. Not only does he keep a merchandise-generating baby in his house, he also leaves the front door unlocked. Sure, he's probably magical, but the show's not doing anything to make him look not suspicious. All signs point to Ai being the queen reborn, from her character design to her story role. In my headcanon, Mana and Rikka are the mothers, Alice is the rich aunt, and Makopi's the godmother. I like that Mana's singing voice is no Milan Himemiya - though maybe Rikka should try singing to Ai, we know she's got the pipes for it. The sheep monster... well, before sending out a MotW, make sure it doesn't work on you, though that seems to be what Mamo was going for in the first place. (Also, seeing her pull a Jigglypuff on Ira was amusing.)

The show's got a really good sense of pacing, and I love the character interactions. Mana's clearly the center of things without overtaking the show too much. Now to see what they do with this Ai thing.
