Spoiler for Ep1:

Ok, that was good. That was probably the best first episode out of the last few Precure series I've seen.

And honestly a lot of that goes to the main character. Yes, Aoi Yuki does amazing work and that doesn't hurt anything. But honestly Nodoka is pretty darn likable. She has a great mix of qualities that makes it easy to care. Someone who clearly has had health problems. To the degree that just running around and doing things is utterly exhilarating to her. Because now she has the ability to do those things. So she's running around (though needing breaks), helping people wherever she can since...she has the choice and ability to do it. And hey, her catchphrase isn't annoying.

Heck, the threat is very straight forward. We're not dealing with "imagination" or "sweets power." These guys are going to utterly mess up the Earth and all life on it. Precure are needed to step in and stop them. Should be straight forward enough for the writing staff to not get confused like they were by the concept of imagination.

Even the faerie type characters were fine. Also keeps the battlefield less cluttered if they are going to be part of the weapons the precure are using.

Who knows how this will turn out, but I'm hopeful after this episode. This just felt like a solid start.

Watched episode 1:

Good start. So animals are the theme again this time, thankfully there are physical fights! The other animal themed precure sort of went to shit for me because all they did is put icing on the enemies.

The fact that they fight pathogen makes me remember Cells at Work.

[Zneruse]

This is the first precure series I am trying to watch. It feels like it's sort of the quintessential magical girl anime, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The artstyle is really cute and it's fun so far, so I'll keep watching.

[FlareKnight]

So far so good. Seriously this is easily the best first few episodes in a precure season that I've seen in a long time. The last time I managed to get pulled in this much was probably either the Princess of Maho Girls series. Very solid second episode that further focused in on Nodoka and honestly nicely developed Rabbirin. A nice move having the fairy partner be this much of a character.

Not much I can criticize. They did a good job. Now they can start spreading out the focus a bit and recruiting some teammates. The core of the show is solid enough with Nodoka that it's safe to go about that now.

Also, props to the show for acknowledging that this is a rather dangerous thing to be doing. Much better than if they had cheaped out on character and just had Rabbirin reject Nodoka exclusively because she isn't in good shape. Having good reasons helps a lot.

Watched episode 2:

delayed watching, since there are so many other anime to watch.

Nodoka being rejected by Rabbirin then getting accepted again. Well, the action is good enough.. will be watching some more episodes of this.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 3:

introduction of a new cure episodes are always good, and blue precures are often the more beautiful of the three members. Cure Fontaine does not disappoint. :3

this dog mascot is gonna get sick everytime a monster of the week comes... the writers sure are brutal.

[FlareKnight]

Having Latte get sick every fight is a bit brutal. But does allow them to create some legitimate stakes each week. Only so silly you can afford to go since that will be the situation each time. Characters have to take things seriously.

[Liddo-kun]

they have a mascot (dog) that will get sick every week. I guess that's something never done before in precure.

at some point their dog should get some form of immunity? since getting sick that often hopefully leads to a better immune system. just kidding.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 4:

I have a feeling Hinata will be hard to keep quiet on their secret as precure.

Also funny when Hinata thought the precure costumes are cute. xD

the ED song of this season is one of my favorites already.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 5:

Chiyuchi so serious and get mad easily. Had a good laugh when Hinata told Nyatoran she's gonna quit.

healed a sick dog again.

enjoyed this episode.

Episode 6:
Anoudher good episode the battle was longer and great. Daruyzen and grace rivalry was set up great. and we had great develoment for latte and learned more about nodoka past.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 6:

saving the strawberry farm from pathogerms. Did Nodoka see the guy hurt her mom? Or did she arrive her mom is already unconscious? I'm curious of this as she seems to be not very angry, so I assume she did not see what he did.

from her expression as cure grace when she was about to fight daruyzen she looked very angry actually

[Korol]

so the Pathogerm Monsters are Coronavirus Monsters *gulp* oh dear.....

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 7 and 8:

on 7 a journalist is introduced stalking Nodoka. Well, he was proven wrong.

on 8, Chiyu feels some stress because she fails in her sport. Too bad she did the jump with no judges watching. Well, I guess she can repeat that when the contest is resumed.

[elior]

watched episode 9:
this was a very cute episode and hinata was adorable the way she blushed and nice fight. it seems we will have big battle next episode

They might have an episode that may be related to that pandemic but if the Byougenzu took advantage to that the show might turn very dark very fast. There might be an episode which the Byougengzu try to take any of the Healing animals captive or take Latte so can't ether fight or make it harder to find the infection.
