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.
