Happiness Charge and Doki Doki are widely regarded as the worst Precure from my understanding, I assume Doki Doki is similar in nature since the only thing I know about it is a weird scene where they're all transformed and playing Whack-a-Mole together.

Real shame Happiness Charge is terrible, since the director previously directed the best season of Precure, HeartCatch. Which I can sort of see reflected in the precure designs.

Doki Doki is criticized primarily for Mana being the biggest mary sue in the entire franchise. She's so OP compared to everyone else and the rest of the cast all loves her so much that she's been called the Kirito of Precure, leading to plenty of jokes and art of her being a harem protagonist.

https://i.imgur.com/4umnQiH.jpg

There was apparently a big controversy about the midseason Cure as well, where people believed a certain character got screwed and should have become a Cure while the actual midseason Cure they ended up getting wasn't very good. Plus, Doki Doki's MAL score is artificially lowered by people who watched the shitty Glitter Force dub of it on Netflix (same with Smile) but that's unfair and I don't really count that.

As for Happiness Charge, I mostly see it criticized for shitty writing in the second half of the show (I don't know exactly what kind of shitty writing since I haven't watched that far in yet) because most people I hear talk about HapCha say it's great in the first half and totally falls apart later on. I barely see any other complaints about the series, so the writing must fall off really badly to lower people's opinion of it so much.

Keep in mind that this is just based on what I've heard from others in the fanbase on Reddit and /a/ talking about them.

Finished reading Monster last night. Ehh...
I liked the part with Tenma and the bird, plus the supporting cast (Lunge, Grimmer, Reichwein) were all good
Maybe I'll read Sabu to Ichi next.

Finished Gekiman! Really great mix of famous Devilman pages re-drawn, story beats cut or not used in publication, and "real life" scenes with Nagai and DynaPro. The stinger at the end was also great. Highly recommend as a companion to reading/watching Devilman, fascinating stuff.

Now maybe I'll read Sabu to Ichi lol.

If you're talking about the gif I posted, it's from Mother of the Goddess' Dormitory.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/41812/Megami-ryou_no_Ryoubo-kun

It's a pretty good ecchi anime currently airing (final episode is next week) that does really well on the cute and wholestome stuff as well as the lewd stuff. It also has an uncensored simulcast which is pretty rare in this day and age. I don't know HiDive managed to pull that off.

Finished Sabu to Ichi. IMO Ichi carried the manga. Maybe similar to another popular blind swordsman, but strong enough in design and character to not feel like a total rip off. And having the lion's share of cool chapters certainly helped.
Sabu on the other hand was a total scumbag, I've never seen a protagonist as slimy as this guy. Basically spent the whole manga being as hard assed as Judge Dredd in terms of law, but had no problem sleeping with and covering for criminals not once, but TWICE, while he was engaged and later married and expecting a kid....
Spreads were fantastic as usual, Ishinomori really knew how to make use of two pages. And the layouts usually had a way of drawing the eye from panel to panel, scene to scene.
All that being said, the ending wasn't much of one. So I wouldn't rate it alongside Robot Keiji or Path of Ryu, but generally speaking, it was a good manga to read.

Almost finished with Star Twinkle Precure.
It's pretty fun compared to the same old turning random objects or central character for the episode into monsters. Instead the villains opt to turning central characters for the episode into weapons, monsters, or giant evil versions of themselves. And instead of just going about their daily lives as students, they occasinally travel the universe in search of the next plot device.

My findings determine that best precure is Cure Cosmos, followed by Lala (after she stops being stuck up.)

Shino, the main antagonist as a child grew up with her twin sister, Kano. Their bitch fuck mother started a new shitty religion that emphasized killing off the old, weak and frail and leaving only the strong. She forced Shino to be the mascot/center piece/face of the religion spreading their gospel. Everytime Shino screws up, the mother beats Kano, the twin whose only purpose is to be the scapegoat. The two run away together, the mother stalks them down, and beats Kano even more. The religion catches on big time with young people, especially women. It grows big enough to found its own high school. Shino is made the student counsel president of the school. Eventually the mother conducts some sacrificial ritual where she cuts open Kano, drains the blood, and forces Shino to drink the blood.

So I nominate her mother for the annual Anime Mother of the Year award.

Star Twinkle was a highly experimental Precure series, and that worked in its favor IMO. It has a lot more of a sense of adventure compared to other Precure series, the enemy generals were really unique, and all of the sci-fi parodies made it feel like Spaceballs with magical girls.

I actually liked her better as Blue Cat. Hikaru was my favorite of the Cures, with Lala a close second.

I see no love for the other two precures, Madoka and Elena. Almost as if they're a solar eclipse of disappointment.
That said Madoka is better since she at least didn't start whining about taking away a Pen from some primitive dog aliens that were worshiping it, even though she knew damn well that it would cause them trouble if left alone.

Elena was a good fit for the series (being the first dark-skinned Precure ever in a series where the main moral it was trying to teach was accepting others for who they are and not what they look like) and her personality was good, but she didn't really do much to stand out besides that. As for Madoka, I've never really been a fan of characters like her, plus I also felt like the sideplot of her father trying to discover aliens (he was basically a walking parody of Men In Black) was underutilized and Madoka herself could have gotten a lot more development through that subplot being used more.

Don't get me wrong, they were good and they had their moments too. But when they're competing for attention and screentime with two literal aliens and arguably the most adorably hyperactive lead pink Cure of all time, of course they're going to seem a but underwhelming by comparison.

Ok, I'll admit I've haven't watched a whole season but I've seen various clips around. I get that Wixoss is darker than precure but neither are bloody torture/graphic child abuse from what I've seen.

Holy shit, a new Black Rock Shooter anime. News straight from Huke himself. I was actually right in the middle of re-watching the 2012 series (I'm paused halfway into episode 4 as we speak) when I saw this news and now I'm fucking hyped. We've seen Inuyasha, Bleach, Devil Is A Part Timer, Shaman King, Tokyo Mew Mew, and a bunch of other long-thought-dead anime franchises announce a new project recently, so what the hell is next? A Soul Eater reboot? No Game No Life season 2? A continuation to Outlaw Star?

The creator tweeted about 3 months ago that he completed a draft of volume 11, so chances are the volume is in production right now (he still needs to draw the illusts) and will be releasing sometime soon.
