Precure

I like Zukyoon being designed as is because it validates Meroron's hardcore crush on Purirun. When someone that hot says she'll protect you, how could your heart not swoon? Most people rightfully tuned out Meroron's poetic ramblings, but they serve for nice foreshadowing for Purirun's human form. That and the neetama thing.

What delusional world do you live in? That was one of her notable character traits.

She would never cheat on Daifuku like that! Once he gets a kig, Daifuku and Komugi are going to make litters on litters of Dog-bunny Kigs!

Me and my horny wife

Give it time and you'll see how you really feel

Dog-bunny Kigs

Kigs can reproduce? I thought the kig conversion centers was the only way to produce new ones.

If people took Meroron comparing Purirun to radiant light and calling her neetama seriously, they wouldn't have been surprised Purirun looked like a charmer. I guessed that they would take the neetama aspect seriously when it came to Purirun's design, but even I thought that would be a long shot. Most people thought they would look like normal middle schoolers.

No, that's not how that works.

I hate when official content is wrong.

Pronounciation-wise, it's the same either way, but it looks off. I guess maybe they didn't want the English name to overlap too much with Kyunkyun.

I was hoping for small, tiny, cute, loli Cure ZQ and Cure Kiss.
But now that I think of it, loli transformed forms were rare in kodomomuke anime.
Little girls want to become bigger, and big friends want to become smaller.

The only kodomomuke transforming heroine anime I can think of with a powerful loli main cast (Kiruminzoo are not powerful) is Saint October, and that was a flop, wasn't it?

All the rest are elementary lolis transforming into older teens or even adult careerists (Minky Momo, Creamy Mami, Magical Emi, Fairy Pelsia, Fancy Lala, Cure Ace, PriPara Lala and Non, etc), or middle schoolers (arguably lolis) staying the same.
Emiru was a surprise.

There may be a late-night otaku anime where a big girl or woman gets smaller when transformed.

Lyrical Nanoha stays an elementary loli after transforming, but that comes as no surprise, because it's a late-night otaku franchise.

forgetting Ako

Emiru and Ako stayed the same.

idols

yuri fairy pair

Sorry guys, this is Toei brining out all the hard hitters. Expect mediocrity after this perfect season.

Cure ZQ

Stopped reading there.

The pretend idol season which reuses the ED song for the group finisher. Pure, unfiltered mediocrity.

Otona? Are you trying to say Otona?

You can stop posting that now. No one cares about your shit opinion.

you're an idiot

I read all of it

brining

I prefer Cure ZR

Its been low effort from Toei for a while now.

You're right, I'm forgetting Akko-chan, the original jojimuke anime transforming heroine (after Disney's Cinderella).

God-tier ED though so I can't complain. I'm actually afraid ED2 will stink in comparison.

I prefer you to shut the fuck up

Dumb shitposter.

Don't copy posts from other social media

Zyukyoon

I am not calling her that.

I feel like some of you anons need to do this weekly.

Rude. I keep my place very clean.

I ain't pointing at anyone in particular, but there are some anons here you can definitely smell their posts.

Retard newfag

Don't be rude.

Happy belated birthday to the sideways doodoohead.

I'm glad the hotdog scene stuck with people. It was fun in episode one and it's even more fun now.

It does look like shit

It's actually Zukyoon which is slightly less worse

Fuck off.

It's actually Zukyoon

Then I'm not calling her that either.

You fuck off.

i'm gonna ZUKYOOM

No.

Literal shithead.

We are all obviously shocked about the Purirun/Meroron reveal, and everyone is going back to reevaluate every Puririn scene in light of this development.
However, this level of impact must be nothing compared to what little girls with Purirun plushies must be going through right now. Imagine learning that your cute but semi-retarded plushie is actually a cool oneesan. It could completely change how they interact with their toys, and maybe even have a lasting impact on the development of these little girls.
Basically, Toei just launched a massive social experiment.

Go! Princess Precure review 46!

The final Towa arc is her and Towa has hit maximal adorableness, while Shut hits rock bottom and begins digging.

Summary for anons that need it: New years is on the way and Dorm mom is lecturing everyone while cleaning the school. Everyone is getting up to something, but most of all spending sweet time with their families. Fresh snowfall has come to the school and Towa is bewildered by so much white and the girls take Towa out to the courtyard to experience fresh powder. The shenanigans begin with everyone one-upping their sculptures until Towa expresses she wants to replicate Hope kingdom castle; Haruka also gets clowned on by Yuuki again. As Towa starts work on her castle the girls join in, but its not just the girls, soon the boys start helping to scale it up, and soon Yui is on Architect duty, as more students join. Everyone is in on the sculpting as the cooking club creates the food lines, and the film club is documenting everyone's smiles. Even Ranko is there, doing something helpful surely. Once the castle is done, everyone starts to return to their dorms as its cold, and the sun is going down. Towa realizes she's forgot her gloves and she returns to bump into a feral Shut who is wasting no time to blame Towa for all his woes. Towa can't stop Shut's destruction, but Scarlet holds off most of the worst. The rest of the cures show up and begin culling Feral Shut. While they break his spirit showing him how ugly he is whilst Feral and purify him, Shut was not a MoTW so the castle will not be repaired. Shut also denies Scarlet's help even after the purification. Even though the castle was damaged, Yui has already rallied the students and the repairs are nearly finished when the girls return. Shut watches the student rally as Shamour approaches him with an offer of a cat paw scarf. Shut quietly accepts it and leaves. As for everyone else, they all head off for their new years get togethers, with Haruka wishing everyone a New years

everyone is going back to reevaluate every Puririn scene

Not really. Instead of being innocent she was always an idiot instead.

It's a pet name you dope.

Nobody wants to be called shit.

We discussed the difficulties of enjoying Minami's character yesterday, today there will be little discussion as Towa's adorableness has hit maximum levels. If Minami was offering these smiles I don't think anyone could dislike her.
That being said, there really wasn't much of a struggle in this episode, as she tried to save something fleeting. I do remember having that burning desire as a child so I know what they are going for, but as an adult it hits way less. Not going to knock Toei for the story, since its officially not meant for me.

See, Yui's cool.
As for Shut, dude just gets it from everywhere.

I love your summaries. It's like a quick way to re-experience GoPri. Some of the scenes you describe play out before my eyes as I read.
Thank you! Too bad it's almost over.
Snow sculptures usually last for more than half a day. I'd be pissed.

If Minami was offering these smiles I don't think anyone could dislike her

Wanna bet?

True, maybe little girls roleplayed with Purirun as a sort of "cute little gremlin!", but now they might look at the plushie in a different way.
This is the power of multi-media storytelling being used in an interesting way.

little girls experienced something similar with Coco and Nuts plushies

Yes 5 is one of the most popular seasons in Japan disproportionate to outside of it

Ah... that might explain it. Toei will print money, but there goes what remains of the birthrate I suppose.

I was also complaining about the lack of Shut heel turn last night, and I'm pretty sure I am on the cusp of that heel turn. I'm really excited to see what Shut does in tomorrow's episode.

Didn't Coco and Nuts reveal their true forms during the Cures debut.

Shut heel turn last night, and I'm pretty sure I am on the cusp of that heel turn.

do you mean a face turn or are you expecting him to become even more of a villain

coco was definitely confirmed to be a marketable plushie in like the first episode and while I can't remember for sure I think nuts was known to be one before even his human form showed up

I think Coco got revealed like episode 1 or 2. So very early. But I don't think the phenomenon necessarily requires the "shock" aspect, especially when ikemen are involved.

She can look hot and still be innocent, don't forget they are tree fruits, the appearance of her human form doesn't need to be 1:1 with her actual age.

they are tree fruits

I wish you'd stop saying that.

Where I live you have to watch the weather for snow sculptures because it can flip between nice and cold one day and in the 60sF(15C) the next. Its much like the sandcastle episodes in other series.

Wanna bet?

You're just inhuman at that point.
I know heel turn is used more in the turning evil sort of way, but I'm pretty sure the same could be said for the opposite. I'm hoping to see him do some good by the end. If nothing else see what him and Shamour have going on once the Kingdom is restored.

Uta is so cute and HOT d.uguu.se/qDXPycGc.png

That's their origin story though?

You're just inhuman at that point.

Or I have standards.

Besides Yui being the king of rallying the students this episode, she and Kirara go nuts on sculpting, hard outpacing Haruka and Minami's attempts. I think Ranko might have gone just a little further than them, but she had more time and it was to keep her away from the castle.

nah that'd be a face turn. don't mind me i'm just being pedantic/autistic since these are pro wrestling terms and I grew up on it. "face" and "heel" are just slang for good and bad guys respectively in that culture.

Yeah, sorry. I have way too many folks around me that are really into wrestling and most of that shit goes way over my head; I usually just glaze over. I'll keep the Face Turn in mind for the future.

I call her doodoohead, not shit. Doodoo is endearing, shit is not.

Shamour is cute. I do love her caring attitude. I'd even take the Commie version of her speaking.

They aren't actually fruit. It's a magic tree.

After contemplating the new designs, forgetting about them to do other tasks, then coming back to look again with fresh eyes, etc for the whole day, I have to say... Fuck it, those are probably some of my favorite Cure designs of this decade, Kiss and Zukyuun conquered my heart.

Dopey looking fairy.

Alright, I think I have said all I can, please enjoy a little Yui.

Adorable Yui.
What season do you plan to watch when you finish GoPri?

I am currently split.
One direction I want to start working on the very early precures.
On the other hand if I do Kirakira and HG, I will have a long series of cures completed GoPri to TR.
As I said a couple months ago, I have the dubbed version of Futari Wa, and I am humored by dubs just as much as I am by fansubs like Commie.

I'd do Kira and HG then go back and watch the older seasons.
I've never seen the FW dub but I can't imagine it's any good.

Can't be worse than GF. I tried that and I felt bad for Laura Bailey.

We had a Glitter Force livestream here before, it wasn't that bad all things considered.

chatgpt generated kig images lol

The form hasn't even appeared yet. Wait and see

I'm glad DP is over.
