What's the deal with Beauty ?

[Midonin]

That's President Aria from the ARIA franchise. Who was also voiced by Chinami Nishimura. It's a voice actor joke amongst the veritable pinata that is the picture.

Spoiler for Wilhelm Grimm's Magical Girls 09 - A One Way Ticket to Holmes Academy!: Kamen Rider Yellow Thunder:

I liked this episode, for quite a lot of reasons. Has Precure ever done an April Fool's episode before? It's a nice way to take advantage of the calendar, and also explains where Yayoi "transferring" came from. A single prank that spun out of control until everyone believed she really was moving to another school. She and Miyuki can visit the Detective Pavilion Beauty Contest another time. (By the way, this is a great episode for MiyuYayo fans. The others can lie to Yayoi without much trouble, but Miyuki almost trips over herself doing it.) I loved Yayoi's inner monologue during the episode.

From the very start, we get confirmation that Yayoi is the Gai Ikari of Precure. She has a Kamen Rider alarm clock of some sort. I wonder if she watches it for the men, the plastic armor, or the men when they're in the plastic armor? Likely all three. We're also intro'd to Chiharu, Yayoi's mother. Why is this important? Because there's a certain section of the fanbase that watches for the girls' mothers and gives them... er... ample (that is by far the best adjective to go with) fanart.

I was wondering why the Akanbe didn't simply steamroll the group during their heartwarming moment, and the show answered that for me. Akaoni and his MotW were falling asleep during said heartwarming moment. When you're a comedy, anything is possible. And Miyuki didn't killsteal this time - this was Yayoi's episode, and she got the honor of electrocuting the MotW to a crisp.

So, a good episode, for many reasons. Next week looks to be our first post-gathering Akane focuser. The show's on a real winning streak.

Hmm... Now where can I find the announcement of Cure Fire getting to be the leader in a new Precure spinoff series?

[Sol Falling]

Heh. Seems /a/ has been complaining about Smile's lack of hand-to-hand fighting so far but I thought AkaOni's "lying" gimmick this week was pretty clever.

Yayoi's prankster/naughty side was cute. And the way everybody overreacted was quite funny. I thought the moral of the story was well-placed, as well--if this April Fool's episode airing at 8:30 am in the morning over in Japan today must have spurred a whole lot of kids to go out and play a prank or two, at least the episode made them keep in mind the consequences and reminded them not to do anything which would be hurtful to others. Heh, to think of it, I suppose Toei only has the opportunity to do this sort of episode every 5 or 6 years or so.

Speaking of Yayoi ships, I stated early on that I'd be going the Reika x Nao route (and, to that pairing's credit, they do seem to be childhood friends after all), but my highly selective goggles have now somehow convinced me to go full-delusion mode and straight-up ship Yayoi x Reika. lol, there's no helping it if my two favourite characters actually seem to have a mysterious number of scenes together--but if Miyuki's attempt lie to Yayoi was notable for being fumbling, I'd say Reika's was similar for being outrageously direct :P.

There has been indeed a lack of hand to hand combat in Smile. Earlier precure series, espescially the first two (Futari wa Precure and it's sequel Max Heart) have longer and little bit more violent combat scenes - perhaps because those two were around near the DBZ era. Splash Star (the next series after Max Heart) has toned down fist fighting scenes and have energy attacks instead, probably as a means of offering something different.

*haven't watched yet the latest episode of Smile, so can't look at what people posted about episode 9

[gsilver]

Episode 9

These episodes are hilarious. Yayoi sure is terrible at lying
These also have to be the most considerate villains ever to let their enemies have long conversations like that mid-fight.

Honestly this (Smile Precure) is one of the best seasons yet. The very best out of all seasons so far in my opinion. Sure, I could tell you what other seasons I also liked but it would start a flame war. The fanbase is highly divided over this topic "which seasons of Precure are best." So if you are curious to know my preference, please PM me and I will tell you.

I thought this episode was going to be terrible because we all know Yayoi isn't changing schools. But the writers came up with a twist early on, revealing that it's not about whether she will change schools (because we already know that's not going to happen). It's about something else instead (read Midonin's spoiler for details), which I thought was far more interesting.


Then from ep. 8:
Majorina: I call them...Switchrings!
Akaoni: Just that!?
Wolfrun: [unimpressed] You have no naming sense.

Then later in the same episdoe:
Majorina: I call it...Back-to-Normal!
March: Just that!?
Sunny: [unimpressed] You have no naming sense.

Is that a brick joke? Either, way, it's really funny. They can't just beat up the Akanbe, they have to make fun of the villain too (if his name isn't Wolfrun at least).

[Ichuki]

It was a good episode overall but it would of been more hilarious if there were actual transfer students at the end

also the scences in yaoi inner mind what she was think in episode 9 was very funny

hmm, I knew things reminded me of something

Spoiler for Wilhelm Grimm's Magical Girls 10 - Invincible Poster Girl: Akane's Got One Hell of Family:

We've met all of Nao's siblings and Yayoi's mom, but Akane just pulled ahead of all of them by having her entire family introduced in this episode. She's got some nice (and recognizable) voice talent in her genes. Her dad is Masaki Terasoma (Kintaros!), her mom is Satsuki Yukino and her little brother is Ryoko Shiraishi. (When you're going for someone with a Kansai accent, she's a natural choice.) This episode was very much Akane's time in the spotlight.

Overall, it was a pretty simple "parent's job for a day" episode, but there were some little things that made it stand out. This was probably the goofiest that Wolfy has been presented, with his quest for the perfect okonomiyaki (and being rejected because of his lupine visage), and it featured some nice power-doubling on behalf of Akane and Reika. She got all fired up, and Reika's ice powers resulted in the sauce dissolving. Looks like the Akanbe wasn't quite saucy enough.

Once again, Miyuki didn't killsteal. Akane had her time in the spotlight, and she got to finish off the MotW. That just leaves us with Reika and, oddly, Miyuki's family life unexplored.
