I like that the transformation sequences have a sort of salon feel to them, with the giant glowing frock they wear until the outfit is done, then gets thrown off in the end. All it's missing is Ribbon with some scissors styling their hair.  aers posted:Doremi are pretty bad but so far they're the only group who are picking up HaCha. Could be worse! Could be TV-N!

Twelve by Pies posted:Is DoReMi still the best place for subs or is there somewhere better? There aren't any subs yet, so we have no idea. Anyway, being very Heartcatch isn't a bad thing. Not for nothing is Heartcatch recommended for new watchers. Did anyone else notice that parts of the real world were converted to whatever kind of terrain the bad guys wanted? Does this mean that the cures (other than princess, who already has) might fail from time to time? What if this turns into Gaim Precure? Or better, Decade Precure, with form change cards.

Lisandra_brave posted:There aren't any subs yet, so we have no idea. I thought Decade Precure was a certainty since the cards were revealed! It's interesting that the show starts with both the PreCure and badguys being common knowledge and part of everyday life rather than just appearing from another world in the first episode. It feels like a natural progression from Heartcatch giving the PreCure in its series a lineage and history.

Even the derping through mooks in the OP reminded me of Heartcatch. I've got a good feeling about this season.

Just watched the first episode with subtitles, man this is great. Excellent designs and fun characters. Hope it doesn't mess it up like Dokidoki did. I also really hope another group picks it up, "Terribad" is really annoying me.

At the very least it annoys me less than some of the localization decisions made in a certain tokusatsu show.

What, Ryouma Wärring isn't to your liking? On the Precure front, the sub wars are already starting, and there is even a raw war. If nothing else, the Third generation of Precure is gonna be fun for the drama associated with it.

As far as PreCure goes, what are the points of contention? I haven't watched the subs yet, but I can't imagine there being anything to create any problems. Or is it just personal drama between people working on them?

Doremi continues to be terrible at encoding, so Commie put out their own raws with a comment about no other raws having VFR, despite having commented on Doki Doki 49 that they agreed to never do another 50 episode childrens show. USP Raws then put out a higher quality version in response with a snarky comment. I can't wait to see where this goes.

To be precise, it was the translator of the two-man Commie DokiDoki team who swore not to pick up another season. The timer/typesetter/everything else guy is still willing to do it if he can get another translator (and is also the person subbing the Heartcatch re-broadcast). Beyond that, since there is currently one option, what we have right now can't really be considered "sub wars". Just petulant children on /a/.

When I think about it, it's weird that I thought it was dumb that Griton was changed to Ornac given that I had no qualms about Majolina's localization in Smile. I guess it really depends on how much of the show you're watching you're listening to-- and how much you expect to be discussing it with either term.

Finally caught the first episode, and yeah I can see why people are calling it Heartcatch 2.0. It seems to be taking a lot of inspiration from that, not that that's a bad thing. The way the cards have two layers that fold in makes me think there is certainly going to be some sort of form change gimmick. Though the one thing they didn't copy from Heartcatch was having as catchy of a transformation theme. This one isn't bad, but Heartcatch's was immediately an earworm for me. Though maybe this one will grown on me over the course of the series, as it stands now it's just...kind of there.

I almost forgot a new Precure was starting! Just finished episode 1. There's a lot of details that I liked about this setup. I like that the story essentially starts En Median Res with Precure and the bad guys already established as a thing that everyone acknowledges exists. I like that the primary heroine kinda sucks at being a heroine. I like that the new Precure is basically an ascended fangirl. On the other hand, I wasn't particularly wowed by the transformations or attack animations, which is pretty egregious considering I'm sure I'll be seeing them a lot. The way they established the girls' friendship also kind of irked me for multiple reasons, but I guess I can't really be too harsh on the script for a children's show. Overall, probably one of the better openers of the season and definitely one of the better openers in the franchise. There's a lot of potential for development in the cast and the setting, I look forward to seeing where they take it.

Two episodes in and the pink Cure still hasn't defeated a monster! This is right up there with HeartCatch for turning the Pink/Blue dynamic on its ear. Hime is also giving Tsubomi a run for her money as the Worst PreCure in history.

Nah, the character dynamic is basically as normal. Pink is the heart of the team and Blue provides contrast. What they DO seem to be doing, that it's really, really dumb that Pretty Cure hasn't properly done before, is actually for real having two equal focus main characters. What Heartcatch did was actually a lot more clever than just flipping a relationship around. It left what the colours meant alone while seeing how far away from the norm it could get the characters while still having them fill those roles. It did the same thing with Yellow (the extra cutesy one) too. quote:Hime is also giving Tsubomi a run for her money as the Worst PreCure in history. Worst Precure Rankings

You're right, looking it from that perspective Pink is still the heart and Blue provides contrast, but rarely is that contrast a more negative one. I hope we get to see Princess grow to be less bratty and self-centered, though given Erika's lack of any real development in that area I'm not exactly getting my hopes up. wateyad posted:Worst Precure Rankings I haven't seen Fresh, so I'll bite.

Tsubomi and Hime both have some aspect of themselves that entitles them to be a Precure, it just takes a little (or a lot, in Hime's case) pushing to bring it out. Berry isn't as bad in early fights because in Fresh the transformation is explicitly stated to teach them how to fight but as far as I could tell Miki's qualifications to be a Precure are:

Episode 4: Ninja PreCard was hilarious. Smokebomb de gozaru! And Lovely was pretty brutal holding those Choiark by their collars and slamming their faces into the Saiark. It's still really fun. Though the form changes continue to be dissapointing. I guess they're just going to be used to take out masses of Choiark? I don't get why the CG is being used at all. As for the OP: Cure Moonlight! Or at least, just her face. She was oddly close to the camera for her whole intro. Black, Dream, Passion and Moonlight is the order so far. So odd.

Ugh this is a really good PreCure and I hope the ratings pick up after falling off hard last week. Umakoshi animated the pre-op bit which is why it actually looks on-model compared to all the All Star movie renditions of characters from that show.
