The second episode of Doki Doki was quite promising. I'm a little apprehensive about the direction Precure is going thanks to Smile, but this show looks to be good so far. Hopefully there's more emotional realism and character development this time around (staples to Precure but oddly absent in Smile... No, bouncing between extremes like in Smile is not realism... unless you're bipolar). Better fights and story would also be very welcome.
I wrote up a (rather scathing) review of Smile when I finished it but opted not to post it here at the time. It did make it to another of my regular forums, though, albeit one where people don't talk about Precure, and in a general "now watching" thread... I didn't want to seem too down on it and thought that maybe my opinion of the direction the show took brought down my overall opinion of the show, but my feelings haven't really changed upon reflection, so I'll be posting the review as-is.
