Okay, that was the weirdest start to a Precure series that I've seen in a while. This is the first time I can recall where there are already active Precure fighting the bad guys in episode 1 before the series even officially starts. Two of them, in fact! Hime (Cure Princess) is a clumsy failure of a Precure with severe confidence issues, and she gets bailed out by Iona (Cure Fortune), who's good at being a Precure but is also a complete fucking bitch who hates Hime's guts and considers her a liability. I've had this meme saved for a while and now I finally understand the context... https://i.imgur.com/gnIbWeR.png And to top it all off, Megumi is already a huge fangirl for the Precure before meeting Hime and getting to become Cure Lovely at the end of episode 1. It feels weird that the lead pink Precure isn't actually the first Precure to transform on-screen, and I think this is the only series where that happens. https://i.imgur.com/ErtfCkQ.png https://i.imgur.com/Xdk7XLo.png Then the fight happens in episode 2, and they get absolutely wrecked. After a hasty retreat, Megumi just randomly gets to meet GOD HIMSELF... https://i.imgur.com/6NR5d6Y.png ...who casually loredumps the situation at hand. Hime runs off because she's too scared and lacking confidence to fight again, which leads to... https://i.imgur.com/hVPdZzd.png ...a non-combat transformation? Another thing I've never seen in a Precure series before. She transforms into a detective and finds Hime easily, then gives her a pep talk before a second round against the bad guy. Oh yeah, there's mooks fighting alongside the monster of the week too. Heartcatch and Star Twinkle also had these, but it's another rare thing that most Precure series don't have. https://i.imgur.com/sSvCV2V.png Cure Princess finally gets her first win against a bad guy, a big confidence boost, and a loot drop. Looks like their power-ups come as PreCards (gee I wonder how many of those they suckered Japanese parents into buying for their children) and those are what allow for the alternate forms. They're also the macguffin moving the plot, because apparently someone can get a wish granted if they collect enough of these cards. https://i.imgur.com/jDBN0KB.png https://i.imgur.com/Jql3gmx.png All in all, pretty good start for this series. Happiness Charge is actually considered one of the lowest-rated Precure series by most of the fanbase, so I'm guessing that the writing takes a nosedive in the second half or something. Oh well, no use worrying about it now. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ... Copied to Clipboard!

Finally continuing Fist of the North Star. Stalled out for a month or two but going for the finish now. About twenty-ish episodes to go. New opening is pretty cool.Lol Yakuza was the "source" of my mahjong "experience." Fist manga is pretty good but drags towards the end, HnG handled the translation+scans well. I was pretty shocked to see its finally getting an official release in English too, volume 1 just came out a month or two ago. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thinking about starting a new anime, leanings towards a shounen I haven't seen, like JJK, is it any good?
Is there a slice of life I should watch instead? I've been interested in Anohana as well. Where would y'all start? --- CE's resident Smash Player || https://i.ibb.co/2vRbyC0/Rosa-6.png "Friends don't let friends watch The Big Bang Theory" - mogar002 ... Copied to Clipboard!

leanings towards a shounen I haven't seen I can't really help much with shonen. The only one I've followed in recent years is Black Clover, but I've enjoyed it a lot. It started a bit slow, and Asta's Japanese voice is nails-on-a-chalkboard awful so watch the English dub instead, but get past those and (IMO) it turns into a really fun show.

Very good, very trippy, and very gay episode of Magia Record today. Tropicalwood posted...
You're god damn right she is. She gets even more badass when she transforms and fights, but she still has enough coolness and gap moe to be best girl in civilian form too. Unfortunately, she's been sorely lacking in episodes focusing on her so far, but it looks like today's episode will be one for her. Tropicalwood posted... Second best girl I have Laura in third, with Manatsu second behind Asuka. That being said, Tropical-Rouge is the first Precure series I've ever watched where I really like every single one of the girls. All the others I've watched have had one or two that I wasn't quite as fond of, but Sango and Minori are both fantastic too. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ...

I don't watch Precure but they all look cute. You should, it's a great franchise. Precure is basically the lovechild of Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, with Sailor Moon's cuteness and magical girl aesthetics mixed with Dragon Ball Z's hand-to-hand combat and hype powerups. Plus they're all made by Toei Animation. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ... Copied to Clipboard!

Haven't watched anything else since the fourth season of Precure wasn't translated ten years ago and watching every season of a yearly series gets old. Ah, I see. I started with the franchise by randomly watching Heartcatch, then I started following it as it aired with Hugtto three years ago. In total I've finished 8 different Precure series so far (Futari Wa, Heartcatch, Suite, Smile, Go Princess, Hugtto, Star Twinkle, and Healin' Good) plus I recently started Happiness Charge as well as watching Tropical-Rouge as it airs. So all in all, I've watched about half of the entire franchise so far. Once I finish Happiness Charge, I think my next one will be Max Heart since I've been putting it off for so long after watching the original series. That or Yes 5, the other Precure series that got a direct sequel season. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ... Copied to Clipboard!

Since I'm a purest I decided to watch up to Heartcatch but alas not all of the seasons were translated so I just skipped to Heartcatch right after finishing Splash Star. I'd recommend watching Splash Star, the final battle is basically the five minutes till Namek blows up. --- ayy lmao ayy lmao || oaml oaml yya yya ayy lmao ayy lmao || oaml oaml yya yya ...

I've heard some good things about Splash Star, mostly that it's a big improvement over Futari Wa before it. But I've also heard some not so good things, mostly about shaky animation quality and it being too similar to Futari Wa to the point of feeling like a cheap knock-off. I'll probably watch it eventually, but it's at low priority right now. Spidey5 posted... Cal, what was the precure series you mentioned before awhile ago with the really crazy power scaling? That would be referring to Heartcatch. Tsubomi starts the series as "the weakest Precure" but, at the end of the series, the final form of the Heartcatch team is the strongest that the Precure franchise has ever seen even to this day. I know Precure constantly gets compared to Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, but Heartcatch in particular is more like a magical girl version of Gurren Lagann in terms of the constantly-escalating hype and power levels. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ...

Cure Bright is the same tomboy type as Cure Black that constantly lusts after an older guy Cure Windy knows (her brother). Cure Windy is the same intellectual type as Cure White with family member her partner lusts after. The villians are better from what I remember and the final episodes weren't nearly as dark and helpless. --- ayy lmao ayy lmao || oaml oaml yya yya ayy lmao ayy lmao || oaml oaml yya yya ...

Speaking of Precure, I watched a bit more of Happiness Charge.
https://i.imgur.com/7DAdOfJ.gif It's only episode 4 and Cure Lovely just beat a motherfucker with two smaller motherfuckers. I know Precure are generally good at kicking ass and looking good doing it, but Lovely seems like way more of a berserker compared to others I've seen. Her fighting style is super brutal and reckless, and she's the first Precure I've ever seen that looks like she's straight-up enjoying beating the bad guys' to a pulp. --- ''Someday I too will fly... and find you again!'' https://imgur.com/PfJxO7u ...
