Episode 2 is a good follow-up to episode 1. I've watched several precure series, but never saw someone untransformed try to grab the monster of the week before - Akana did that and even refuse to let go. It's a crazy thing to do.
Nice transformation sequence for Cure Sunny and the action is generally OK. Just have one minor complaint.. Wondering why Akanbe just stand there when Akane is deciding what to do with the fire?

Cure Sunny's transformation made the episode. I'm starting to have high hopes for this show. Now only for some melee with decent coreographies and some nice character interactions and it's more than a pass in my books if it stays looking this good.

This is one of the most inexplicable anime couples I've seen. The volume of fanart, the low number of episodes, and the popularity it has...
What's odder is that I'm posting pictures of it. You have your requisite Disney takeoff. And pictures of Miyuki both as herself and in Cure form. Wolfy has no idea what he's theoretically getting himself into. Nor does Miyuki, for that matter. |

it is official, ne/m/esis has ran out of gundam pilots to fight the magical girls.
You know we really need an evil chick voiced by Aoi Yuuki or a Puella Magi character. Just to notice how Madoka has permanently warped the genre.

That pose Peace does (lots) in the episode - Japanese people call it "double peace." And judging by the comments on Himado (NicoNico ripoff site), they think it's pretty cool which I have to agree with.
Loving this show - I think we're back to Heartcatch levels of quality. I think Reika "totally looks like" Umi from Magic Knight Rayearth. Please look at Umi and Reika and when you're done... Please also look at Cure Beauty. Another thing you could look at to compare them is their swords - both of them are like rapiers (long / thin). Sorry, I don't have a pic of the opening (Reika w/ her sword). Best Smile: Cure Fire Sunny Worst Smile: Beauty Prettiest: Beauty (natch) Least Pretty: Sunny |

Haha, I have to admit, Smile's character designs are pretty impressive. While I still dislike Miyuki's civilian look, the Cure designs in general as well as Yayoi's normal design are pretty gorgeous/adorable.
Yayoi seems to have more personality than I expected. Actually, the way she so easily accepted the destruction of her poster and stated that what she really appreciated was the courage Akane and Miyuki had given her struck me as giving Yayoi a certain kind of depth or maturity which isn't present yet in the other characters. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on Yayoi. Heh, I already know that Reika's going to be one of my favourite characters so/but I hope they keep the quality up next week with Nao. Smile has opened quite strong thus far so it'd be good to see them carrying on with this momentum. I think I read somewhere that the 2ch threads amounted to at least 21 threads (21,000 posts) for this episode alone, easily overshadowing the discussion for quite a number of other (late-night) series this season. That is pretty damn amazing if you ask me. |
