It really does sound like a gospel song.

I have to admit, I am totally loving the new ED - a big improvement over the first one I think, it seems much more fluid.
The stained glass windows and the congregation of flowers add to the 'gospel song' feel of the whole thing.

I wonder how long before youtube will be flooded with people imitating the new dance.

Spoiler for Episode 26:

Decent episode. It's just worth it for more adorable Itsuki. Plus there were some epic manly lines in this episode, thanks to Kurojacky.

Very interested with that preview for next weeks episode. Tsubomi's Grandfather looks just like the Tuxedo Mask character we haven't seen in a while...

& i had no idea a film was going to happen in October. When was that announced?

Like the past two years, it was announced officially in a teaser at the end of all stars dx 2screenings 6 months ago, and leaked in an investor presentation a quarter before that.

^Ah thanks for that, i had no idea.

Looks like it'll be quite the fun watch.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that there will be a Pretty Cure movie based on the currently running series from now on until eternity, just like there is for the Super Sentai franchises that Toei is stealing the model from.

Whether they'll keep making more DX movies on the opposite is still up in the air, but I bet they'll try considering how well DX2 did in terms of profit.

Basically, series movie in the late fall/early winter, every year.

The only exception so far has been the very first Pretty Cure Movie, Pretty Cure Max Heart The Movie, which came out in the spring, but then they followed it within the year with the Max Heart Movie 2, and from then on released the movies in the winter.


They probably realized once they started rebooting continities, that releasing a movie based on a new set of characters that had only been around for ~8 weeks was impossible. The first Pretty Cure Max Heart movie was only "Max Heart" in name, as we'd barely even seen Shiny Luminous transform by that point in the airing of the series. It seemed pretty clear to me that Luminous was also added fairly late in the design process for that movie.

So by switching the series based films to be released around episode 40-45, that makes a lot more sense.

Hopefully, Toei smartens up and extends the length of the Pretty Cure movies. 70 minutes isn't exactly though to tell a thorough story.

Perhaps DX3 will be 100 minutes? Only time will tell.

I've been a big Pretty Cure fan for years and the movies are always pretty good. I will admit that my fav PC incarnation is the originial series, tough.

[Shinn_Kabuto]

For episode 27, Kaoruko's former last name is GODAI.

Spoiler for A New Heroine, A New Legend:

Kaoruko: HENSHIN!

*plays Kamen Rider Kuuga BGM*

Spoiler for Episode 27:

I was hoping for more of that flashback, though at least we had something. Truly do wonder if the man that's saved Blossom a few times is in fact some form of Sora. Only time will tell. Also i was wondering when Kaoruko was Cure Flower? That's something i'm sure will be covered at a late date.

Ended up in tears after the flashback ended, with Kaoruko saying how she still remembers like it was the day they met. Very upsetting, especially with the music box jingle playing. I hope that makes it onto the second soundtrack.

[ShiroiRyu]

I thought about something ... when i saw this episode.
And if the glasse guy ... was really the grand-father of our heroin ?
Like the spirit of him ? x_x
Imagine he want to protect his granddaughter and her friends ...
And one time, in a episode, you have our Oba san who fight and die to protect her too ... And you have the two spirits finally joined ...

Pretty Cure Kill off Grandma?! No way!

That'd take serious balls for Toei to consider that.

Double even, because she used to be a Cure... That's be like killing off a Cure!

[ShiroiRyu]

Yes it's not possible ... I know ... But it's the grandfa thing who put that idea in my brain. x_x
I hope and i doesn't hope because that would be ... sad ... but in same time a good thing ...

This episode's just raised more questions than answers. Not entirely sure now about my original guess that Mysterious Man = Sora = Coupe-sama in human form...any thoughts?

[Shiroth]

Personally i don't think Coupe-sama will have anything to do with tuxedo mask, but still it's a nice theory. It does start a lot of questions appearing though, and i'm surprised the girls weren't more confused about it during this episode. I'm guessing they had to leave that out so it wouldn't destroy the theme of the episode.

Somone on another forum also have the same guess as you.
Maybe it's the reason why the other fairies admire Coupe?

Spoiler for About the mascots in Precure 5:

Well, the "mascots" in Pretty Cure 5 can turn into a human form.
So it's possible that the scriptwriters for Heartcatch would also have the same idea for Coupe-sama.

[Guido]

As of right now, I've seen the first half of episodes after watching episode 24.


This Pretty Cure is awesome and fleshed with a good storyline for development. Posess likeable and empathetic characters to which I can relate to.

Furthermore, Cure Sunshine's introduction delivered the needed edge for Blossom and Marine to reach the stalemate against Dark Precure.

I think this incident that happened at the Tree of Hearts will serve as the turning point for the Cure Trio to overwhelm at last Dark Precure towards the later episodes of the series.

I'm three episodes behind the current episode rate, so I won't trouble myself with spoiler, however, what I can theorize at this given point is the following:

Spoiler:

I'm dead sure that many, if not most, of you are suspecting or come to theorize that Professor Sabark (freaky masked, old-man) may be or not Yuri's long lost father.

Still, I have not much evidence to back that theory, but in episode ten or eleven, through Yuris' memories, it was explained that his father had long been missing when he embarked on a quest to find and study the Great Tree of Hearts.

Professor Sabark posesses a good deal of knowledge concerning the Heart Tree, however, that doesn't amount to anything clear. Because, he might have received the knowledge by that unknown person Dune, whom the former reports to.

Although, paying close attention to the OP sequence one screen shows Professor Sabark and Cure Moonlight standing beside him at his left, then followed by another screen showing Dark Precure.

As I have said, this is pure speculation.

Spoiler for Episode 28:

Erika was hilarious in this episode.

Not much else to say really, apart from this was the perfect episode to try and get kids to do their summer homework.

Looks like Tsubomi get's another harem member next week!
