precure has periodic pop-off episodes like any long running action series.

madoka or flip flappers is probably it for concentrated 12 episode stuff? feel like im missing one other obvious one too but can't think of what

You watch Precure for good old fashioned punching fights, Nanoha if you want your magical girls to fight like Mecha and spam beams and Symphogear if you want a fusion of the 2 with singing

Like the original director was Dragonball director and the original pitch was something that was a buddy cop like show and they got it through (Partly cause Toei probably had to rush it into production as the previous series airing in the time slot bombed for toy sales)

It also means sometimes you get fights like this in the original series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZmrataBQQU (From Movie 2). It's kinda of one of the more brutal fights I've seen in a magical girl show and I was shocked Toei let it through....and they probably shouldn't have

checking out other "Go! Princess Pretty Cure" videos on that channel they seem consistently well done. is that show's writing any good?

some of that animation in the hand to hand stuff is pretty awkward but on the whole i'm picking up what that's putting down. it sounds like it's kind of the exception though?

i mean i can pick up a 24 episode show or something but "periodic pop-off episodes" sounds like most episodes are not good action sequences. i recall hearing good buzz around flip flappers though, i should probably take a closer look at that

I like Go Princess a lot and think it's good a solid story and one of the better support characters in the series. It's middle arc while not bad is just sorta of there compared to other that tried the same thing

But yeah with Precure while you can get some amazing fight episodes it's in the end a 48 episode show, not everything can/should/will be at a high level. There's going to be some C episodes just by the nature of the show and than it'll air episodes during vacation time when people probably won't be watching (and sometimes they can be good but you know...)

I remember reading a tweet ages ago that an MMA fighter got into fighting cause of that clip and I can totally see that

Edit: Otona Precure is gonna be 12 episodes so that may be able to keep a high level as it's short. The fight we got this episode was really good and felt like they could flex a bit more since it wasn't a kids show...shame the henshin was from 2008 though

i mean the action anime that's firing on all cylinders every episode is exceptionally rare. but there's a difference between a good fight every 3 episodes and every 6 episodes you know?

i didn't realize this would be a 48 episode commitment though, that is an awful lot lmao

every precure series runs for a year like power rangers or kamen rider, so they run for 47-50ish eps each

theyre honestly pretty light watching though, my friend and i blasted through both yes and its sequel series in like a month by watching 3-4 eps a day and we didnt really feel fatigued.

gopri is pretty high up there imo, depends on how much you like the high society princess boarding school aesthetic though. its a very school centric series where a lot of precure seasons barely have school episodes at all

but yeah precure is not a high budget show, its a 50 episode a year sunday morning toy commercial for 5 year old girls, outside of the really big episodes the animation can get pretty limited but they almost always go hard on the storyboards at least. that's one thing I love about hirogaru is that cure sky's design is all about suggesting movement when they can't always actually animate it. and hugtto, people went insane over that series because that's a season where they were incredibly willing to get sloppy and go rough in service of action cuts, even outside of fight scenes

Look Kira Kira is over designed but it also a manga chapter where Akira gets turned into Chocolate so in the end it rocks

Also the fact Bibury got so popular they had turn good but because they didn't plan it she's still the same bratty character

Getting "sloppy and rough" means your willing to go off model to get animation that looks more dynamic and fluid in motion. When done right it can be really great and get action to really pop off but it can also be overdone and just make you roll your eyes. Trigger's Imaishi is a real good example of stylized version of that style
