Spoiler for 3:

xizro345 · 2012-02-20, 11:47

Looking at pixiv yesterday, I counted about 32 pages of Yayoi-only fanart from common ones to slightly bizzarre (like comparing Peace Thunder to Great Mazinger's Thunder Break). Quite a popular character already, I'd say.

jcdietz03 · 2012-02-20, 11:50

I'm sure you also saw a lot of:
Ika Musume crossovers (the Peace hair and same voice actor)

Pikachu crossovers ("pika pika pikarin" and Peace Thunder)

mecharobot · 2012-02-21, 04:19

Another episode of consistent quality. I'm just a little worried about what are they going to do when all the cures are introduced. I hope to see episodes of some clear cut character centric episodes like in Heartcatch, which was great since it took its time to flesh out side characters also.

Spoiler for Episode 3:

jcdietz03 · 2012-02-22, 16:06

Do you think Pierrot is the real villain? I was sure in Suite that Mephisto from Suite was NOT the real villain. But Pierrot does seem like the real final boss, given that they are not revealing him until episode 22 at the earliest. Pierrot...look it up on Wikipedia. Pierrot = sad clown (character type used in pantomime)?

I also predict Cure Sunny's midseason upgrade will change her color from orange to red...even though orange fire is hotter. I predict another member of the team will change their color to purple due to a midseason upgrade.

xizro345 · 2012-02-23, 00:02

I'm not expecting anything, but for sure it doesn't look they're following Suite, as the villains up now aren't that weak.

Though I agree on that part, I'm still thinking they're doing it wrong with the Cure-of-the-week pattern.

Candy is looking for the Cure. If she find them right away, episode 6 will turn into "now, what ?", beside fighting the weekly Akanbe till episode 22 shows up.

They should have waited. More time for character developpement. But hey, it's still better that Suite, for sure.

xizro345 · 2012-02-23, 00:33

I think that's the point. They won't explain anything until all the Cures have been gathered.

jcdietz03 · 2012-02-23, 11:52

You still have interesting possibilities. There are five members so there is room for quite a bit of interaction. And the obligatory character-focused episodes, which I think aren't all that interesting. And the obligatory kenka (fighting / arguing) and/or kaisan (breakup) episode(s) - I always like these type of episodes.

I never watched Yes! Pretty Cure 5, so it will be interesting for me how this all plays out. I think those hoping for a Cure Moonlight subplot-type thing will be disappointed. It would be nice if that was the direction they went, but it doesn't look like it from here.

gsilver · 2012-02-23, 23:51

I liked the way Red Demon avoided attacking the (then) non-combatant Yayoi. Not quite so heartless, after all. Perhaps an early telegraphing of an eventual heel-face-turn.

The formulaic elements stick out here more than they did in Heartcatch and Suite, but still, we're three for three good episodes, so I'm happy with what we've seen so far. Compared to Suite, even this early in the series, I did like Hummy quite a bit more than what we've seen of Candy so far, and the setting needs more depth, but basically everything else is better here, especially the villains and character design.

Spoiler for Wilhelm Grimm's Magical Girls 04 - Boiling Power: Cyclone Without a Scarf:

Anyone who watched straight through Asahi this morning got a lot of Marina Inoue. Tagiru and Nao were at the forefront today/tonight.

And so, March comes in like a lion and out like a territorial, more ferocious lion. This episode, like last week's, did some decent worldbuilding for the school. Two girls, who believed the gazebo was theirs, and the student council president both appeared. They didn't do much, but as long as we're certain that the Cures aren't the only people of importance in the school.

Nao's situation is a lot like Yayoi (Takatsuki, not Kise)'s. She's got a pretty large family there, all of whom were pretty rough on Candy. It's hard to tell if Candy or Miyuki is taking more punishment here. Also, a note on how the censors work for Precure. You can show a demon's underpants without problem, but the moment one of the heroines shows her undergarments, the show's shipped off to late night without question.

I like that Yayoi's rock-paper-scissors is both variable and being made fun of. Akaoni lost against Yayoi. Poor predictable rock. He did make up for it by choosing a Goalbat for this week's Akanbe. Had he gone with a small strip of metal, it would've been a Crowbat. And if this was another superhero show, it would've been a Zubat (sanjou! Zubat kaiketsu!) Nao's specialty as Cure March looks to be incredible speed... something which she's not good at yet.

I like that the heroines can recognize each other even when transformed, and that they're still trying to figure out how their powers work. It makes for great comedy and shows that they're still with flaws. Nao's sequence and March Shoot are pretty nice. Seeing so much interaction between Nao and Miyuki brings back memories of when they used to be much more antagonistic with each other - Miyuki's not gonna start talking about perverted stuff anytime soon, but I wouldn't be opposed if she did.

Next week: Cure Beauty appears, completing the team at last. And the last of the generals shows their skills. You can't have a fairy tale story without an evil witch.

What can I say about this one. It's fun in it's own way. But by far I don't like it as much as I did for Suite. Last 3 or 4 eps missed alot. Just my opinion.

xizro345 · 2012-02-26, 07:29

Well, not a bad episode.

after how much episodes with the witch do you think the final and most strong villain general which is the joker will appear?

Midonin · 2012-02-26, 19:52

I know the extradiegetic reason is to make her distinct, but it's a bit odd that Nao's the only one in her family with green hair. You'd think the rest of the Midorikawa kids would have different shades of green or somesuch, but nope, just her. Screw genetics, she has green hair.

Leo_Otaku · 2012-02-26, 19:56

Oh god Cure Peace is adorable! I just have to add my god >.< I may have to watch despite me complaining earlier lol.

Liddo-kun is this so? Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Gradius Home World	Spoiler for Episode 3: As a fan of Ika Musume, I find it interesting on how Hisako Kanemoto is dubbing Yayoi - since Ika and Yayoi have almost opposite personalities. One is shy, while the other is .. . The Red Demon is a scary looking villain. At least he didn't try to hit them with that spiked club (maybe in later episodes he will ). Cure Peace is Pikachu in precure form! I like her attack. And lastly, the ending felt good.. Yayoi actually wants to be a superhero, and although she didn't say it, the other thing she want is to have friends. __________________ Clearing 4 domain with Qiqi / MTGNexus - Magic Art Gallery / AnimEVO 2020 - EFZ tournament / Cool Japan Festival 2015

redflame Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2011	Spoiler for Episode 4: As usual, this episode had been awesome. Apart from the younger cures we've seen so far, we get this mature-sense of justice girl, Midorikawa Nao. She was cool when she told the 2 girls to back-off from Yayoi, Miyuki and Hino. Oh and especially when she ran in front of her siblings using her powerful words of justice. I love her voice, its so strong with determination, which is an aspect that makes her so cool . I loved her transformation too and how she didn't freak out when she saw a monster and just ran. As expected, she gathered courage and fought the akanbe but it was cute when she ran too fast as she passed the akanbe.. also, not to forget the part where she got smashed accidentally onto a pillar and came out unstratched.. she is so awesome. Next episode, Cure beauty! Wonder how she will make her debut __________________

xizro345 King's Justice Join Date: Apr 2004	Well, not a bad episode. Spoiler for Episode 4: Cure March's specialty is super speed obviously (so the trick in OP makes a little sense). Aka Oni looks like the "comic relief" villain, unlike Wolfrun and the witch that is going to be introduced in the next episode. Kind of odd that Sunny and Peace just stood there doing nothing though...

Liddo-kun is this so? Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Gradius Home World	Spoiler for Episode 4: I wonder if Red Demon really meant "breaking up Nao's family", that's among the most despicable threats I've seen a villain make. A wind based precure who runs fast, it's a nice combination. And true to mentioning the word "courage" in her intro speech, Cure March didn't show any fear at all. She's my favourite cure out of all of them. seriously. __________________ Clearing 4 domain with Qiqi / MTGNexus - Magic Art Gallery / AnimEVO 2020 - EFZ tournament / Cool Japan Festival 2015 Last edited by Liddo-kun; 2012-02-27 at 07:49.
