Smile Precure

[ujiuji]

Only got round to watching episode 19 yesterday, but have to post to give credit where it's deserved. I don't have many expectations of Precure other than it will be fairly entertaining and have some pretty sparkley stuff, which I happen to like. So where did this come from? Great art direction, genuine emotion, believable dialogue instead of cliché spouting, is this really Precure? A small thing I liked, when the girls were walking home in the rain discussing their names, Akane was annoyed with Nao for mimicking her accent, we saw her expression change several times before she told Nao off about it, it was more subtle than the usual way they'd do such a joke while still being funny and cute. Another nice piece of character interaction was near the end where Chihaya imitated the way Yayoi said she really liked her name. Slightly making fun of her but in an affectionate way that told us they aren't just mother and daughter but best friends as well. Oh, and they made Peace beautiful, parachute hair and all, she was beautiful, not cute, not pretty, beautiful; and, as Midonin wrote, she had dignity to go with it. I had doubts when I first saw her design and read the description of her personality but she's turned into a heroine suitable for the main target audience rather than the otaku-bait moe-blob I was fearing. Bravo Toei.

Yayoi is still everyone's little sister, and I adore pixiv's interpretation of her as a toku fanatic on par with Gai Ikari. If anything, that only makes this episode more powerful. Yayoi loves heroes, and as this episode showed, when she's motivated just right, she can be one. Her popularity with both sides of the fanbase is well deserved. (Though the fanbase loves everybody, as a whole and in various combinations. The amount of memes popping up around the characters is staggering.)

Make a contract with me, and I can make your wish come true!!

In Episode 17 Candy says "you would not cure the sixth pretty?" It is possible that over the histoir there is a new pretty cure?

I'm surely hoping for that cause 20+ episodes and nothing has happened yet.
We got the cures, the group attack... And then, what ?

I have lost interest in the show, totally.
Someone here mentioned the fact that the only character-developement we got was about the cures while in Cure-5, we got at least some background characters.
And it's true...

So if I'm reading this correctly, smile precure will be on pause at the end of next month.

...Wait, wat? So it seems like tv asahi has "London Olympics Highlights" scheduled for Smile Precure!'s timeslot. Although that doesn't automatically mean it's on hold, it does seem likely...

[Liddo-kun]

Noo! The week won't be the same without Miyuki and friends.

Maybe it would just be moved to a different timeslot.

[Midonin]

All that says is that on July 29th, Smile (and Fourze) won't be on. It will still be on every other week in July.

[Chiaki_chan]

A pause snif....

[elior]

finally the 2 new july titles arrived with the moment we waited for:
episode 23: Pierrot Revived! Precure is in a Desperate Situation!!
summery:Miyuki and the others head to the Bad End Kingdom to rescue Candy.

episode 24:The Precure Have Become Fairies, Miyu~!?
summery:Miyuki and the others become fairies and go around Märchenland

[Chiaki_chan]

It's fast I mean ... Smile will ultimately Precure how many episodes? Is that his will be like the others? Just over 40 or 26

Spoiler for Wilhelm Grimm's Magical Girls 20 - The Purple Triangle: Christmas in June:

The Nissan Combo fans are going to have a lot of fun with this episode. We can also add ghosts to the list of things Nao's scared of. Yayoi, on the other hand, considers being invisible to be cool. And now I'm hearing the Decadriver going [INVISIBLE] in my head. It was the "clothes (and homework) are also invisible" kind of invisibility, so no public nudity like Saki's recent island trip.

Candy really needs to stop picking up random objects that are left on the streets. Majorina does a convincing job making them look like non-magical things, so that's a point in her favor. This was a typical Majorina episode, hitting the usual beats with the policeman, the effects of her latest gadget, and a nonstandard, much smaller Akanbe. This Jack in the Box is a regular Old Bobo, seeking to cause nothing but pain, and also to hit you.

This is one of the few episodes that ended on the same note it began. Presumably, there was another Akanbe fight later in the day. The snowstorm cleared up really quickly, too. Maybe since the snow was magical, it dissolved instantly, or the sun is really hot that day. Seeing little elements like the Go-Precure pose and the natto candy continue to return makes the series a little better.

The most major thing that can be taken this week is Joker saying something about Candy having a secret. Princess Form, maybe? (Peace's Princess mode on the end card was giving her best "I am going to kick your ass" face.)

Next time, Princess Celestia's brother pays a visit on Tanabata.

Akarin's Disease can affect people you know at any time.

A little late since I was busy the past few days.

Spoiler for Episode 19:

This episode made me teary eyed twice in a single day, and I watched it at the office. It's the first time I saw a precure episode this sad. Forgot all about the jokes and simply got carried away with the story. ;_;

I too had tears in eyes, especially at the end

[Midonin]

We got the title for our second half ending. "Mankai*Smile!". It also comes with an insert song. On a similar note, the tracklist for the first Vocal Album is up. Yayoi's song is titled "100% Hero". Yayoi rocks.

Spoiler for The Truth:

That still has nothing on the Cakes episode of Suite


Anyway, episode 20.
It was a rather standard episode, but I liked the way that they handled the fight this time.
