I'm surprised Aloha Precure got their own transformation sequence.

It was pretty disappointing. I mean, I wasn't expecting something on the level of the HappinessCharge PreCure, but it was like a closeup of their hair and jewelry-- and then ta-da! It's done.

What a lovely smile, Iona.

Edit: Also, did anybody else get some strong Futari wa and Splash Star impressions from Hawaiian Precure? Not just because it was just the two of them, but the focus on Sunset using punches and Wave using kicks, then their final attack had to have been an homage. It was really cute!

Or is he the 5th Precure? Their combo attack had 5 glowing symbol on the mirror, and one of them was red.

There's like six jewels on the side of the thing too. Not that I really think we're going to get any more core Cure this season.

This week's HaCha episode looks and feels weird because Yamauchi returned to Toei for the first time in 10 years to direct. He also stole all the colors.

thats for that show

Has anything like this been shown for anything other than the first season? I've seen this a few times before, but it's from when Futari Wa started airing and it seems like they make an effort to remove certain aspects so that precure isn't too sexualized by the guys who watch it. Like removing all the midriffs from the costumes in Happiness Charge that were shown before it aired.

Not that it seems to change anything if pixiv is anything to go by.

No, I've never seen a chart like that for anything other than FwPC.

There is very little to suggest that target demographic is a real thing. If you take a look at viewer demographics, the largest number of viewers outside the kids 4-12 range is F1, women 20-34, followed by F2, women 35-49.



This is from Bandai's toy catalog for November. Notice the target demo on the top right.

Some Titans merch for comparison:

the shift to shorts was certainly an attempt to avoid/lessen it. alternatively(in fresh), the fluffs under everyone's skirts served the same purpose.

similar things happened in suite, and melody's midriff as bare the entire series.

Between Cure Princess and Princess Form from Smile, I'd say that's a pretty exciting title.

Even though I've lost a lot of steam in regards to Happiness Charge. It's not bad or anything, but Innocent Form looks really terrible, and the transformations and attacks with the Shining Make Dresser aren't really exciting-- and the plot is taking forever to get anywhere without the individual episodes being anything special.

Why would anyone want to do that, what a terrible idea. This is what your idea has caused



They've shifted a bunch of staff who were absent from Precure back to the series so there's been a few standout episodes lately, but today's had the best storyboard of any. Great layouts and shots.

Still no Go!Pre picture leaks but the merchandise is hinting towards multiple different henshin devices and forms.

The episode had their best regular AD (Inagami) and was directed/storyboarded by Morio Hatano who is finally back on Precure after a stint over at Majin Bone. Hatano is really good.
