I'd just like to say that I don't think user subs does a good job with the final line of the OP song.
The line says "Kimi mo StarTwinkle Precure" which is telling me, the audience, that I too AM a StarTwinkle Precure, I'm not just with them, as if we're all just bystanding passengers. We are all StarTwinkle Precure.
Madoka has the dorkiest smile here. It's super cute. This episode was just okay -- not bad, not amazing. I'm excited that we're going back to lawless space Vegas next time, can't wait.
Kappard was way too fucking cool that episode.
A good bit of the anime I've been watching lately (precure, shinkalion, gundam) are literally just toy commercials, and this was blatant by toy commercial standards.
I really like the transformation sequence this year. The music and the singing give it such a nice energy.
Jason Turner
It's so good.
I'm still kinda annoyed that Lala's transformation is twice or even thrice as smooth as the rest (it's definitely like thrice as smooth as Hikaru's) though.
Dylan Smith
That's a really cute Eyewon.
Liam Flores
Yeah. Hikaru and Elena are the weaker ones this year and you can see how smooth Madoka's is.
Angel Adams
reading negom's tweets turn me on, I wish I was a cute girl.
Chase Wilson
Kimo mo = your user is correct.
Benjamin Diaz
Please go seek attention on one of the designated boards.
Justin Kelly
which one? she's one of the favorite precure fanartists of /pc/.
It can be but I'd agree with OP here. I think it makes sense to interpret it as two overlapping lines instead of a single one: "キラリ! 君も スター" and "スター*トウィンクルプリキュア", the same way they did it last year's OP for a play off the full title of the show.
Then the lines would be (vaguely) in the sense of "Yes, you too, you're a star! A Star Twinkle Precure, that is!", though obviously that'd be a shit translation. That's why last year had that odd translation for that line, "Give your shining future a Hugtto! Precure!" without an explicit break between the lines.
Parker Sanders
What a CUTE
Connor Powell
Is she worth more or less than a princess star pen?
Easton Lopez
That was a good season. Easily the highlight was Setsuna, she's my favorite Cure from the seasons I've watched so far and it's not even close.
weird, negom helping with hetshit when she said one time she wouldn't draw even futa.
Isaiah Evans
Is there really no hugtto batch.
Jonathan Reed
I haven't finished Fresh yet, I'm just at when Setsuna joins the team, but I hope she is as good as you say she is. I like her so far. My favorites from those shows you listed are Tsubomi, Nao, and Himari.
Andrew Reyes
Is it weird that I think Cure Chocolat is the most feminine of the KiraKiras?
Jordan Williams
not sure what your definition of feminine is.
Oliver Perry
Akira looks like the stereotypical prince type to me. Her cure form even more so.
Jordan Torres
Yukari tries to make her look like a boy all the time, but it doesn't work well since she's too adorable. Her cure form is the lewdest one since she wears spats.
What is the best way to draw cute alien cure ears?
Kayden Anderson
Or bunnyboys. Huh.
Adam Collins
I was going to say the archery bitch was being unfair by trying to rattle Madoka outside of the match, but then these fuckers used alien space magic to fix the results. What happened to honest competition and respecting the spirit of the game?
Saying you're with a team is a perfectly normal way of saying you're on it. "He's used to be with New York, but he's with the Lakers this year." See also: "you're either with us, or against us".
if they keep going to space, sure I'm worried space adventures will get eclipsed by character arcs soon enough
Samuel Edwards
But who is the dog?
Oliver Collins
I've been waiting for Hikaru's imagination to become relevant, but so far not even Hikaru herself is relevant.
Dylan Thompson
>alien cure That counts for something. >no power of imagination So big nope there. >3 alien planets in 15 episodes I suppose? If they make good on showing the villains' and Puruns' home planets, we might be on to something.
Not everyone will be happy to see this but they also promised more diversity, the way we've been seeing in the past few years.
So kinda. But it's not as clear as you think it is.
Chase Morris
Sakurako cure? So who will be the Red? No more options besides the Eye1 or the Rocket AI. Unless Madoka mom is Alien and can regresse her age. Also her VA is pic related
They didn't recover the pen this week. Since it was Hikaru's, they will probaly recover it in a Hikaru episode, so not next week either. At least for that pen.
Justin Fisher
>"good luck" charm That thing was legitimate star dust magic, so Madoka fucking cheated.
Jordan Perez
is heartcatch actually not that great? i'm almost done with it and i liked fresh and even yes better
James Sullivan
Precures energy-draining villains like this looks pretty unsettling
I think it's good but at the same time I don't enjoy it as much as most of the other seasons I watched. I chalk that up to me being a dumbass and blasting through it in a week instead of giving it a month-ish to slowly work through like I usually do with 50-episode shows though so it all feels like a blur in my memory.
Asher Lewis
What should I watch next, Fushigiboshi or Kiruminzoo?
Nolan Evans
Hugtto is better, but there are some Kirakira crossover episodes, so you should watch Kirakira first.
Joshua Nguyen
The dog is the dog. We'll have the first ever animal cure.
Alexander Murphy
how do I huggto a precure
Luis Baker
They don't actually like it when you hug them, especially when you're a random old man
There are things you shouldn't say even when they're true.
Jack Johnson
I'm sure that there are some people that like her. Somewhere.
Austin Wood
Is Hikaru really just a Meg copy from a Wrinkle in Time? >socially weird >missing daddy issues >some connection with space >fights against some force of darkness and conformity
Gabriel James
Counterpoint: Hikaru's a nice person. And an idiot.
I think my favorite thing about Kirakira was the villain progression. Mainly that it had one at all instead of just being "a couple of generals from the start, maybe they add another one down the line, and then final boss"
Jayden Sullivan
She's busy.
Wyatt Wilson
she's not even the lewdest Twinkle
Landon Hall
>Madoka: The more adverse the situation, the more brazenly one must smile. >Drums: Is there no end to her funds...!?
William Davis
>She's busy. Helping out with the flower shop, right? >she's not even the lewdest Twinkle I disagree. Who do you think is?
This Madoka's face looks like she came out of a doujin horror game and is waiting for you to look away so she can be just a little bit closer when you look her way again.
I want Ange to star in a horror movie as the psychopath using power tools.
Brody Hughes
>There's no power of imagination in Star Twinkle Everything in Twinkle is powered by imagination. You're just expecting some kind of Green Lantern shit where they Imagine a gattling gun and it appears out of nowhere. That is a misunderstanding of what "imagination" means here. The whole song when they transform is about how their powers/outfits are based on what they Imagine them to be. They imagined the Southern Cross attack, it wasn't a given. The entire Starscape Realm is based on imagination since they establish early on that constellations are just what people Imagine into the cosmos. It's been there all this time.
>in discord server with some friends. >Have a waifu bot >Somebody rolls for waifus >Small window for waifu claiming and I miss my chance >Pic related appear >Friend: they are all horrible Why do I have such normie friends?
The most bullshit power the Hachas had was having wings and flight as a standard set. In my days precures had to go through two powerups to be able to fly. Back to your case, imagination is what makes a space sci fi anime into a little girls anime with cute fairies. The space theme is too thick without magic.
Carter Bell
Reika is bland, boring and hasn't got a personality. Why is her archetype so fucking boring holy shit.
Madoka is always given the biggest chest. Is there any suggestion in the show that she's the most developed?
Aaron Phillips
I feel like giving the most feminine of the bunch big breasts is just common practice. Don't know if it helped but her debut episode had a few tricky shots too.
If you look hard enough you'll see she does have a chest. It's definitely more than Hikaru/lala at least because you can clearly tell they're flat as boards.
Grayson Myers
Fuwa knows, that's why she orbits so much around her
Honestly I liked that they could fly since the start without 20 powerups, but the HaChas moveset was fucking insane and Lovely Moveset was ridiculous, so the movesets plus the fly makes a great combo.
Gavin Young
>like Emiru is just another Aoi How do you figure that? They are nothing alike personality wise.
Xavier Moore
Not the same user but: only the weak cry because of bullying. - Madoka's dad
Is not the personalities that are similar. >Insanely rich. >Plays guitar. >Bother figure don't approve. >Guitar makes them feel free. >Parents approve of there love for music. I love both is them but I could not ignore this facts while watching kirakira
They must have thought their powers set was broken internally at Toei too since they never went back to it ever since. Fun for a while, sure, but it's too much.
John Bailey
I have the movie in my PS3 but I have yet to watch it
Christian Morales
why do you fucks not like Lala precure thread more like Madoka thread
>Parents approve of there love for music. I don't remember Emiru's parents doing anything but spinning around and wearing really bad outfits. Emiru and Aoi do share similar backgrounds but the way that each of them handled their situation was completely different. You can't just trim it down to their base points like that. Having said all that, I would like to see them perform together.
Well, the Mahos did wonders with the McGuffins too, the jewels combos were great used wisely, and Topaz form had a variety of attacks, but yeah not even near HaCha levels.
Emiru's problem was that her brother thought it wasn't feminine for her to play guitar whereas Aoi's problem was that it wasn't proper for her status as a high class lady. All in all pretty different issues.
Julian Scott
It wasn't as much the guitar as it was the whole rock lifestyle with Aoi, with Emiru it just felt kind of forced and silly.
Henry Perry
I know that. That's why I said they handled their situations differently.
Nolan Gonzalez
She's in evidence because it's her time to shine Don't worry, everyone's gonna get plenty of love eventually >Gee Lala! How Come Your Mom Lets You Eat Two Riceballs?
Pirate season FUCKING WHEN? or at least a sea-related season, make the Cures from Not-Hokkaido or some shit. We already got fucking space, is the sea that boring?
I like her, just not as much as the others. Only from tier D-downwards do i start feeling either disinterest or outright dislike for the character, which hasn't happened so far in any of the series i've seen.
Kevin King
>that bottom row based. 'mana da bes' posters need to kill themselves too
I like her, but the vitriol thrown at her and whoever likes her is out of proportion. Anti-Mana fags are legitimately bitter about a character from a kids show that aired years ago and they haven't let it go. It's rather sick.
Mana shitters were way more obnoxious with their spamming. They didn't know how to shut up so they just got simply put in their place.
Wyatt Gray
okay but i finished D*kiD*ki last year and hate her so. i also don't care about her fans, people can like her as much as they want. it's just when they be annoying as fuck about it like said, is when it becomes a problem
Carter Russell
Let it go already, you sound like it's a duty to attack anyone who likes something you don't. I'm not even defending Mana, I'm defending the right not to be attacked for opinions at every chance people like you get.
Ah fuck, I messed up at the green. Didn't mean to put Ciel before Ha-chan.
Hunter Long
>Red cure >Its orange
Jaxson Long
well... you really like white, good for you
Joseph Hernandez
Ah, a man of taste I see. I personally like Erika more than Itsuki, but she's a good second choice. Akane and Setsuna are top picks for me though, love them both.
Futagohime is toppest of tiers. It's so princessy it makes the Princess precure look like wheat farming peasants. There's no fightan though; the GoPris would totally kick their butts.
>SS good taste, i will ignore the fact that scarlet, aqua and custard are C
Nathan Allen
Squirrel, Aqua, and Nao that low. I don't like that.
Kayden Diaz
Black and White are about to Thanos-snap you back to the darkness from which you came. Within reach is a crowbar, a small but very pregnant Japanese sika deer, two cans of fermented beans, and a garden hose. What do you do?
>Stick the beans in the deers mouth >Stick the hose up its butt >Turn the water on >The water flows backwards through the deers digestive tract, causing it to throw up on Black and White >Escape
Zachary Foster
>not beating them to death with the crowbar, eating the beans, sticking the garden hose up your own butt, and fucking the deer
Owen Peterson
A crowbar wouldn't do anything against precure.
Nicholas Reyes
It's an evil crowbar.
Ethan Scott
WTF Black and White i need to use the bathroom, i will go back to my dark room after that
Hudson Carter
>Thanos-snap you back to the darkness from which you came You mean murder me but then pretend it really wasn't?
Ichika doing Ciel's little walk thing is the hottest thing I've seen in a while
Xavier Morris
I liked this show until the ending stretch where every single character became retarded and trusted Bright over them 100% of the time for no reason and often ignored their own family members to trust him because "he seems nice"
