After 5 episodes of DokiDoki Precure, i can say that all the budget runs to ED.
The ED is gorgeus, very gorgeus. But the fight scene is nothing like Smile Precure. About character, both has plus and minus. Overall until eps 5, i still enjoy Smile Precure than DokiDoki Precure. |

As for right now, I don't feel the like animation quality of the fights in Doki Doki are any worse than Smile's. However, I feel like the monsters of Doki Doki are what makes the fights a lot more entertaining for me. All the monsters look very unique from each other so far and they say more than just shouting out their names. And we're only on episode 5. They could possibly be saving for some major battles down the road? I hope. >_>

Overall, the style is still very consistent even when the scenes take a noticeable drop in quality. It at least isn't derping out (yet) like various Smile episodes where the characters just had disgustingly drawn faces up-close. I think this is largely the fault of the eyes being overly detailed in the promotional art and the stock footage. Last edited by YourIdeas; 2013-03-06 at 18:56. |

The quality of fight scenes will fluctuate greatly between episodes so it won't be a very good indicator of animation quality until we have a larger body of episodes. The exception would be if one show had a lot of amazing action animation, but we're not there yet. Look at the transformations, and it's clear that Heart and Dia's versions are lackluster. Ditto for the finishers.
In a long-running television anime, it's natural for the art to go off-model from time to time. Dokidoki isn't stellar here either: a lot of full-body and larger shots look pretty terrible: These aren't nearly as nice looking as the Arisu from episode 4:

Episode 5:
Mana and her friends are on a quest to find the 4th member. It turns out that Cure Sword isn't so easy to acquire, and mana gets an unpleasant experience with her idol. Enjoyed the battle for this episode. An idol can be jealous of other idols more popular than them - and that jealousy can become a powerful monster. The cure team gets beat up, until Cure Sword appears to save the day. Hmm, now I'm curious on how they could get the 4th member to join, and who is the cat who delivered the letter to to Mana's house. And lastly, I'm glad that the voices of Sharuru, Raquel and Lance aren't hard on the ears.

Episode 5. No Way! She's Cure Sword??
Gosh, I'm almost late to deliver my review for the past week's episode.
The drama in this fifth episode was very top notch, IMO. Mana learned from the incident with Makoto to express herself with tact; she's got the empathy, but at the start of the episode she didn't know that her innocent passion would become uncomfortable towards her idol Makoto. The fight was very good, since the Cures have yet to gain more experience and awaken their magical abilities, but Cure Sword saved the day with elegance and strength. Now, a good thing that I liked about this episode is that hinted at several mysteries. Spoiler for Manager DB:

Likely, it just made more sense from a realistic standpoint. Egg whites are initially clear before they're cooked, so there should've been no real way for her to get white on her hands, unless she was playing with a different food (or substance :x). Yellow (egg yolk) makes more sense because she was quite literally crushing eggs like a barbarian.

Episode 6
Quick thoughts:
-Hah, Cure Sword is a Starlight! I'm not a fan of '90s boy bands, but I think that Search for Your Love sounds better. -The main enemy goes by the name of King Monster-of-the-Week? He must have been on vacation when they handed out all the really good villain names. -Cure Sword's transformation is marginally better than Heart and Diamond's but it's still sort of meh. On the plus side, Davi's constant apology act was pretty good (possibly the best part of the episode really). -I'm not sure I'd be so quick to be friends with Precures who transform, and then do nothing for the rest of the fight. I think that this episode is a bit on the weak side. Considering that all of the action happens inside Mana's house, there's no feeling of any stakes being involved or any fun factor derived from that. Couple that with some pretty weak animation makes for a pretty dismal outing. This episode should have been more like the Sailor Moon episode where they trash Usagi's house, but it's nowhere as good or as memorable.

On the bright side, the ending sounds and looks great, and having suffered through worse idol songs and poses in the past, I can give this a pass. Great episode, love how Spoiler for 6:

Funny thing about Nabatame Hitomi (Mana's voice)
She is reportedly said to be a "butch lesbian" in real life; coarse voiced tough hard drinker, "married" to Itou Shizuka (of Hinagiku from Hayate fame) until the latter was recently married. Not to mention the fact she is famous for and so good at playing tough, dark, macho deep-coarse-voiced women like Kanu (Ikkitousen) and the Neck-Snapping Dorm Mother (Railgun) And yet when receiving a bright, adorable, sweet kind and idealistic role that stands for everything she is not, she reportedly bursted into tears of joy like a little girl. Curious isn't it?
