Spoiler for Cure Sunshine:

Her fairy partner, Potpurri, is arriving in episode 20 and episode 21 is about how Potpurri, Chipre and Coffre try to find a suitable third Precure.

[Aiagas]

Okay I'm almost there, I've seen 16 episodes, now I still need to catch up!

[FireChick]

That's strange. Why isn't episode 19 subbed yet? Normally it should've been so by now.

No it shouldn't have. There's no release schedule for subs, and we're lucky enough that we've been getting them. It'll be released when it's released.

[FireChick]

Oh. Alright then. I was just curious.

Spoiler for Episode 20:

-Animation is more consistant and smoother then your average filler episode.
-Dune-sama makes his first appearence! Midorikawa Hikaru <3 A bishounen final boss?
-Cure Flower used to be a bishoujo...with long wavey fluffy hair...So Dune-sama has some history with Tsubomi's grandma?
-Erika clinging to Tsubomi's leg was cute <3
-I never realise that the Heart Tree was floating...You can never have enough Dark Pretty Cure. Oh the Heart Tree can teleport too...
-I wish Kumojacky and Cobraja did more then that. I guess the three villians are just there for the sake of being a comedy trio.
-Is it me...but there's LOADS of zettai ryouiki? Yeah.
-The Heart Seed doesn't come from golden poop anymore...

-KEN-CHAN BEING A PRETTY CURE!
-From the episode titles, look like we're in for a quite a few plot episodes with Cure Sunshine <3
-I'm waiting for a opening update and a new ending soon.

Spoiler:

Oh good, so I'm not the only person who that about the Heart Seeds. I'm surprised it took this long to change, to be honest.

There was certainly a lot of zettai ryouiki, though absolutely no panty shots. I guess the animators have finally figured out a way to please their obsessive male fanbase without upsetting the parents of their young girl fanbase.

As for a certain person...

Spoiler:

Cure Sunshine is going to turn up for the first time in Episode 22, according to the July 2010 issue of Nakayoshi magazine. It most certainly appears to be our favourite student council president, though that's not guaranteed. Considering the opening sequence to the show though, if she doesn't become Cure Sunshine, it's probably only a matter of time until she becomes a Cure Something.

so...there actually have been panty shots in this fantasy magical girl anime?

[Shiroth]

Listening to the first soundtrack, and even though it doesn't feature ever piece we've heard so far, there's 31 pieces here that are all solid, and with great soundtrack placement. It's seriously classic Yasuharu Takanashi.

To my knowledge, absolutely never in its 250+ episode history.

In fact ever since Cure White, no Pretty Cure has worn panties at all, it's been spats or bloomers (the old fashioned kind, not the gym shorts kind) (with the one exception of stockings for Cure Passion).

And Cure White's underwear was never seen (well, outside of buying a figure of her and turning it upside down, anyway).

Spoiler:

Nah, it's not uncertain; it's 100% confirmed Itsuki is Sunshine. Houko Kuwashima, Itsuki's VA, was with Mizuki Nana, Fumie Mizusawa and Aya Hisakawa in a recent recording event. She is also singing one of the four songs in the Heartcatch Vocal Collection, the other three are being sung by the VAs of the other three Cures.

Wow, she is ... Beautiful! O_O

Sadly, I wasn't able to see more than 5 episodes of Fresh Pretty Cure...

EDIT: no, wait, that was Yes.
Gotta find subs for Fresh.

Spoiler for Episode 21:

Pretty funny episode, i must say. Potpuorri's reactions were pure class most of the time, and it's nice to have a little focus on the Teacher.

Still say Ban should become the third Precure.

Glad the preview for next weeks episode doesn't spoil that much, though wow the fight looks pretty interesting.

Is anyone else starting to feel like there must be a reason why several of the characters from the school being similar in appearance to the villains can't just be a co-incidence and/or lazy character design?
