Discussion Question

How would Brandon Sanderson write a PreCure series? Also Joel talks about the Tropical Club in Minecraft a little.

Main Discussion

Episode 39 is a certified cute Sango episode! She learns a new attack, and Laura continues to be befuddled by mountains. We also get one of the cutest scenes between Manatsu and Sango.

Futari Wa PreCure

Episode 40 of Futari Wa is a sleepover episode, with strange dreams and lewd hand holding for our two girls.

Fresh PreCure

We watched episodes 31 and 32. 31 was about Love and Daisuke's relationship, and an intense and amazing game of baseball. We loved it. This was followed by a visit to the sweets kingdom in which we learn Tarte is a prince and he has a cute squirrel fiancee!

Discussion Question

How would we try to enter the prestigious Phoenix Academy?

Main Discussion

We cover Tropical Rouge episode 38, which centers on Asuka's tennis career and her relationship with Yuriko. Will they or won't they end up in a relationship? Additionally, we ponder the philosophical nature of Chongi-re controlling a crab yarane-da.

Futari Wa PreCure

Episode 39 is about a wedding, and a quilt with which Joel formed an emotional connection. It was cute, but didn't have much meat to it.

Discussion Question

How would we have tried to keep the Marine Ring from our enemies?

Main Discussion

With episode 37 comes some revelations. Manatsu and Laura met as kids?? The Witch of Delays wants immortality? And the Butler is sus, as always.

Futari Wa PreCure

Episode 38 is all about Nagisa's relationship with her little bro, who may or may not be transforming into a frogman as we speak.

Fresh PreCure

We cover episodes 27-30, covering a guest Manzai duo, a trip into Momozona Love's memories, Tarte almost dying of a tummy ache, and secret agent Karou. We have a lot to talk about.

Discussion Question

What Gran Ocean character would we create?

Main Discussion

With episode 36 comes a visit to the Gran Ocean! The girls search for the Marine Ring, Kururun gets lost in the sauce, and... the citizens of the Gran Ocean are revealed to be illusions! This is a two-parter, and a bit of a downer, but at least Minori was cute!

Futari Wa PreCure

Episode 37 tackles Romeo and Juliet, and is about how Nagisa can't act. Also some of their classmates have a few speaking lines. But perhaps an evil plot is in the works at the Bad Guy Mansion.

Fresh PreCure

We cover episodes 25 and 26, which Joel dubs the Setsuna power hour. She decides she can make up for past sins in the first and has some cute moments with Buki in the second. Also we appreciate Westar, predict what North may be like, and talk about the coincidence of the Cures always being wherever the villains are in some seasons

Discussion Question

What movie-only character would we create for the Tropical Rouge movie?

Main Discussion

We cover the Pretty Cure Dream Stars movie, featuring the Kira Kira, Maho Tsukai, and Go Princess girls! We found the jokes quite good, we're happy to see some of our favorite girls again, though the special outfits the teams received left us underwhelmed.

Futari Wa PreCure

We cover an episode that felt both like filler and one of the few that actually seemed to cover plot- but then it fell flat in the end. We also talk about how originally the PreCure season was planned to end with the first defeat of the Dark King

Fresh PreCure

It's time to introduce Setsuna to the concept of happiness! She and Love go out to dinner, and Westar seems to miss his former ally. We also speculate on where the story may go from here.

Discussion Question

What other PreCure characters would the Tropical Club dress up as?

Main Discussion

It's a Halloween episode with cute outfits, and Manatsu struggles to conjure a second braincell! Also, we're carving... pineapples? We suppose that could be a thing.

Futari Wa PreCure

This week we play the Futari Wa game in reverse: Kat watched it and Joel has to guess the plot! It turns out it was an episode about dating, and despite featuring Nagisa, helps highlight how great Honoka is.

Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode

Having watched episodes 47-49, the main Kira Kira series is now done. Cure Pekorin is born, Cure Yell makes her first animated appearance, Elysio literally vores the Kira Pati girls, and his final boss design is perfect.

Discussion Question

What Halloween costumes do we predict for the girls?

Main Discussion

It's time to contemplate the future and being a grown up! Manatsu and Elda struggle to picture their futures, Manatsu's parents are delightful, and Buff Kururun is here!

Futari Wa PreCure

We play a fun game in which only Joel watched episode 34 of Futari Wa, and he pitches three possible synopses of the episode to Kat who has to guess which actually occurred in canon. The actual episode is about a relay race and Nagisa being hungry, if you can believe it.

Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode

Joel covers episodes 43-46, which includes a great deal of content. Akira's sister is literally kidnapped in the darkest moment in the series- perhaps all of PreCure, Yukari is leaving the country in search of new entertainment and also it's a Christmas episode and Elysio is definitely Noir's Nobody. Ichika must face their combined (Somebody) form and then everything goes to heck leading into the final 3 episodes of the season.

Discussion Question

What shorts would we have pitched to include in this episode?

Main Discussion

This week's PreCure episode is a series of charming shorts with different animation styles from the regular episodes. We talk about which made us laugh and why they were so brilliant. Plus, we get cameos from the HeartCatch PreCure team!

Futari Wa PreCure

To be frank there isn't much to this episode, but it does involve Lacrosse drama

Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode

Joel watched episodes 41-43, which focus on Ciel & Rio, Aoi, and Himari specifically. And Elysio is taking on different forms, just like armor digivolution?!? We agree that Aoi's episode is the best, and most impactful, though Himari is cute and the idea of the townspeople not trusting Rio is an interesting topic.

Discussion Question

What carnival/arcade games would each of the girls play obsessively?

Main Discussion

It's an honest-to-gosh character episode for Sango! Kat feels this might be a step back for Sango's character, and Joel once again feels the character plot and the episode plot don't exactly get along. But we still loved it and the Yareneda Mannequins were top tier.

Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode

Joel watched episodes 39 & 40, covering a zombie-fied Ichigozaka and Grave's final form. Plus, the birth of Cure Waffle! Plus, the cat and fairy alliance is plotually relevant?!?

Discussion Question

Where would the Tropical Club members wish to go if they could go anywhere in the world?

Main Discussion

This episode contains copious amounts of Laura at her most goblin-y and most kind, and features Asuka's backstory and relationship with Shiratori. We absolutely love it. And learned Shiratori's name. It was a great episode and we're thankful to be focusing on the other characters.

Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode

It's time to head to France and face a ghost child! Also, we get messed up animal forms for our entertainment! Being a panda is fine, actually. Plus, they destroy the Eiffel tower (briefly) and we debate whether Jean Pierre is extraordinary, or simply a big goof. ¿Por qué no los dos?
