Captain Marvelous Hibiki and her Ranger Keys Fairy Tones are ready.

Guido · 2011-01-30, 19:31

Some curiosity notes for the seiyuu who play the main heroine characters:

Ami Koshimisu and Fumiko Orikasa were and worked together once in a previous TOEI anime show.

Ashita no Nadja, in which Ami Koshimisu played Nadja Applefield (the lead character), and Orikasa-san played Silvie (member and Diva of the Dandelion Troupé that Nadja joined)

Furthermore, Ashita no Nadja came between the end and start of two of TOEI's magical-girl shows meta-franchises.

Nadja replaced Ojamajo Doremi DOKKAAN! (the last season series to the Magical Witch Doremi franchise) and later got replaced by Futari wa Pretty Cure (the very first title in the PreCure franchise). All shows airing in the same TV network and datetime slot.

For another fact, the fairy Hamii's role is played by Kotono Mitsuishi. To me this marks the return of Mitsuishi-san into a TOEI magical-girl show, since back from the early to the mid 1990's she played the role of Usagi Tsukino, the main heroine from Sailor Moon.

The irony or coincidence this time is that for Suite Precure Mitsuishi-san will be playing a fairy character who is a cat or cat-like in appearance. This compares and contrasts back to the days of Sailor Moon, when she voiced the heroine Usagi accompanied by Luna, talking cat and mentor to the heroine.

So would that mean Amuro Ray's VA will voice the big bad in Ribbon's voice?

Midonin · 2011-01-30, 22:49

Both the Toei and TV Asahi sites have been renewenated. Not too much info that wasn't already known, but it does provide a detailed look at the villains in all their bizarre looking glory.

Leo_Otaku · 2011-01-30, 23:33

I'm liking that evil cat Seiren quite a bit I wouldn't mind owning a figure of it or a plushie XD I love how they go right away with the toys!

Ichuki · 2011-02-01, 00:28

Squee I can't wait it looks epic.

asaqe · 2011-02-04, 17:39

The villain lead is led by Masshymere Cello/Jamil Neate (Kenyuu Horiuchi). And thus tradition continues with the Gundam X cast voicing the bad guys

Guido · 2011-02-05, 20:18

Guys, just to let you know that the first episode has recently aired, and 2chan has already uploaded the pics for Suite's first episode.

asaqe · 2011-02-05, 21:46

Speaking of which, the new transformation from what I gathered in 4chan is more fanservicey than Hearthcatch.

Midonin · 2011-02-06, 01:16

In keeping with the show, I shall present my first capsule review in song. If you know the tune, sing along.

Spoiler for Kamen Cure Hibiki 01 - The Otoya Kurenai Violin Girls' Chorus:

I take my bow, and welcome you all to the new year.

Although for a Precure series, this feels "Sexier" than usual. I find Hibiki's character design having more sex appeal than Heartcatch's characters and their transformation is a bit different than the previous transformations.

If only Animesuki forum has "Like" button...

antigone · 2011-02-06, 12:36

quick impressions:

character design - heartcatch precure's designs were superior
voice acting - better on this front, as expected of Koshimizu Ami and Orikasa Fumiko
character interactions - better than heartcatch's
animation - heartcatch's look better
music - a bit better than heartcatch

can't comment at the plot this early

too early too judge but early indicators suggest that it will be marginally better than Heartcatch (one of the worst in all of precure)

Sageblink · 2011-02-06, 18:06

Quick impressions, but first i need to apologize to you all. I'm not done with Precure. I really liked it so i'm perplex about Suite.

Spoiler for Episode 1:

momobunny · 2011-02-06, 19:37

I honestly really enjoy Suite PreCure so far. At first I said that I didn't like the designs, but... they grew on me. Also I really enjoy the character interactions and animation and art style of it all now, I can honestly say that I liked this first episode better than HeartCatch's so this sets a nice tone for the series for me. :3

My favorite character is Kanade/Cure Rhythm.

I do think that the villains' and Aphrodite's designs are vomit inducing though. =/

In all of this, I find a silver lining. The name "Mephisto" has had its scaring power significantly reduced, now that it's associated with the campiest camp this side of camp. It's been a good while since I've seen an evil 'stache of that caliber.

Liddo-kun · 2011-02-06, 20:28

Though I would miss the character designs of Heartcatch, the character designs of Suite Precure are ok.

Going to watch this for sure.

I think your confused, Heartcatch was the best of all of the Pretty Cures...

Siegel Clyne · 2011-02-07, 01:19

Sailormoon is Hummy...

Why does Toei completely revamp the Precure/Pretty Cure series every so often?

For a variety of reasons cited I won't go into here, earlier mahou shoujo series never lasted more than a few years, including Toei's own popular Sailormoon and Doremi series.

So they took a cue, I have read, from their highly successful live action tokusatsu series like the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series, which have gone on for decades, and totally overhaul the Precure series every year or two.

And it seems to be working so far, with the Precure series in its eighth year.

(Sailormoon lasted only five years, from 1992-1997.)

ShiroiRyu · 2011-02-07, 03:07

Actually, for a first episode, that was good.
I think i'm more and more in the "magical girl" trip.
And yes, it's look like it's sexier. XD

Sageblink Speculation is wrong. Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Paris	Quick impressions, but first i need to apologize to you all. I'm not done with Precure. I really liked it so i'm perplex about Suite. Spoiler for Episode 1: I was on the verge to puke. The first shot of the world with the rainbow and the heart-shape castle... Too much for me to handle. Mephisto is ridiculous, not to mention "Trio the Minor". Aphrodite design is ugly. Hummy is dumb (but cute). Characters background and interaction are good, but overall design is bad. I mean, worse than Heartcatch. But I have to admit that Seiren (both cat and human) and Hibiki are nice though. The negatone summon animation is fine... until the monster appears. You're not scary at all, Mister Negatone. You have a really bad fashion sense. There is seven Fairy Tones... Does that mean that five other girls are going to be turn into Precure ? Cause if so, i might start to speculate that the blue-haired girl playing soccer with Hibiki will inherite one of the blue Fairy and the short-blond-haired one from cooking club will get the yellow Fairy. But i'll go first with the booster thing first. I mean the other Fairy tones could just be used as strengh boost or speed boost ect. (Seven precure would be to much to handle, anyway...)
