Having failed to achieve full fanbase apoplexy over adding a boy precure, the decision has apparently been made to have a canine one.

I think we might have another male Cure because there's a third pet owner with a rabbit.

It'll be interesting to see what approach they take with this season. Hirogaru absolutely nailed the opening episodes so fingers crossed that Wonderful will start strong. Bigger question I have is if the antagonists will be better handled here...

And I do like dogs so I'm certainly curious to see if this one turns out to be good. The nice thing with Precure is that usually whether a season will be a hit or a miss for me is clear really fast .

I guess they concluded the winning formula is going with an animal cure. Last year it was a bird. This year it's a dog. Definitely an upgrade .

True. Though they might be pacing themselves. Try it once, let it sit, and maybe try it in another year or so.

My gut feeling from that guy is that he's the male friend that can be shipped with one of the main girls (presumably not the dog). But I could be wrong there.

I don't know if I'll be too burned out from Hirogaru's mixed bag for this or if it'll be what I need. Doesn't seem like it'll be that ambitious about possibly having a serious story like Hirogaru tried.

My hope for this is that the antagonists won't suck and that they won't run out of story at the mid-point .

Characters look cute and seems like it'll be fine.

episode 1:

does not have much action. However, this episode made me feel comfortable, because I have pet dog and cat.

will watch some more episodes to see where this goes.

[FlareKnight]

Decent enough first episode. The cast were pretty nice and it was relatively relaxing. I don't mind the concept either of what should be paired cures with pet and owner completing each set. Certainly that one cat had plenty of personality without any lines as of yet.

The action and the villains will be something to keep an eye on. They might not show anyone off for a while if they've got these "evil eggs" just littered around the countryside like landmines. They can just get set off on their own without anyone picking a fight with the Precure directly. The "fights" will be interesting. Since right now it doesn't look like there will be any. At least in episode 1 no one seemed eager to beat up these possessed creatures. So it may be a lot of dodging, chasing, blocking until a huge finishes it off. This might be the most pacifist group of Precure ever.

Decent start. Not amazing or intensely grabbing. But it was relaxed and that's ok.

Pacifist for now until they find the mastermind behind it.
