Unironically Shinozaki-san manga, I always knew about Precure but never in my life bat an eye at it, nor the threads, but after reading the manga I wanted to catch the references and well, here I am.
I've been into super sentai and kamen rider for a bit under a decade at this point. last year I figured "you know, magical girl shows really aren't that far of a stretch, I should get around to watching sailor moon already" and loved it. Wanted more magical girl shows in my life and figured Precure was the next logical step so I started watching it when Star Twinkle began. I've seen Heartcatch, Smile, Kirakira, Fresh and Maho since then as well so I'd say its got its hooks in me at this point.
Watching Madoka Magica as it aired I heard about Heartcatch so I decided to watch it too.
Lincoln Bailey
While watching Kamen Rider W live, I caught a couple random episodes of Heartcatch and got interested.
I downloaded TV-Nihon's Heartcatch because I recognized the name from Kamen Rider and they had very pretty special effects on the subtitles when they transformed.
Eventually I realised that mahou shoujo is the pinnacle of anime. Then I went on watching Precure.
David Parker
Y'know apart from Flare's backstory, the whole "damn we suck" thing for Elena and Madoka felt kind of empty, all they really did was tell the other girl how awesome they are at the things they do, rather than something like how it's not actually that easy and maybe how frustrating it can be at times but they persevere anyway.
It felt like a GoPri episode. >This task is impossible! >I'll try harder! >Now I succeed under the exact same circumstances as before, despite changing nothing about my approach!
Levi Carter
Watched Madoka, thought it was ok, wanted more magical girl things, watched Nanoha, continued watching magical girl shows aimed at older audiences and men, like symphogear and yuuki yuuna, finally broke down and watched Cardcaptor Sakura on a friend's recommendation. Now completely indoctrinated into magical girl anime, I started watching Hugtto because it was airing and it snowballed into watching all of them.
To this day, I still find it odd how little I enjoyed watching CCS compared to Sailor Moon or Shugo Chara or Precure. I'd like to think that it's not because I just didn't 'get' it, but I can't for the life of me hold it up as this glorious ideal of mahou shoujo the way most people seem to.
And I do love Precure, I really do. Not because of the fisticuffs or doujin, because I like what it is and what it stands for.
It's not that surprising, CCS is very different in style to those other shows. It's in the classical magical girl tradition, rather than the Sailor Moon tradition. It's not weird to like one style more than the other.
But CCS is definitely just as great as people say. No fan of magical girl shows should skip it, I don't think many will end up not liking it that much like you did.
Nolan Edwards
Highly marketable toys with highly suspicious shapes!
Read somewhere that Precure had much handholding and started with what was subbed at the moment (early 2009), which was FutariWa and Max Heart. Then Heartcatch got regular subs as it aired in 2010 and I continued watching everything Precure, only pausing on Smile and Hugtto - took those years off.
The director knew exactly what he was doing with that scene.
Daniel Gonzalez
I don't into rpgs but I do like smash bros, is this where I use "Thwack"
Tyler Phillips
Mahou Shoujo wasn't a sub-genre that I really considered watching for a long time, one day my online friend got this idea of watching Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, which I thought "weird pick, but why not?" I watched the three seasons (OG, A's, Strikers) and really enjoyed it, a few months later I read Shinozaki-san (which has a LOT of Precure references) and decided to start the franchise, I was reluctant at first if I really would want to watch everything or not, I just downloaded Futari Wa and went along watching a few episodes everyday, I enjoyed it but Max Heart really made me consider dropping the franchise for a certain time, thankfully Splash Star and Yes5 were a lot better and made me invested again, I was officially hooked by Precure from this point on. I still think Nanoha is the best way to ease someone with no familiarity with Mahou Shoujo into watching other related things.
I don't know if the last few episodes just set the bar higher or what but this was a pretty meh episode. Did like how the transformation scene placed the focus (both in singing and visuals) on Elena and Madoka instead of just being the whole group like usual.
Same as most anime these days: the threads on Yea Forums made it seem fun so I picked it up during the excitement at the beginning of HaCha/ leftover from the end of Doki I suppose. Someone told me to start with the cutest girl and I picked Nagisa, so I just went in order from the beginning and watching HaCha as it aired. I've always liked cute magi girls, but what I really got my attention was the sense of badassery and justice I felt from characters like Megumi and Nagisa. I don't think I would have been into it if it was all that though. Characters like Hime and Honoka really sold the franchise to me too. It strikes a really good balance between the cute fun times and the radical hero stuff.
Honoka Lala That purple one, fourth from the top and second from the right, who has a lot of rape and mindbreak doujins for some reasons though I can guess the reason Mai is cute as well but this particular art doesn't do her justice
Blake Sanchez
Himari because she looks fluffy.
Nolan Barnes
On a second glance, there's also the green one in the second row.
Noah Edwards
tough call between Black and Peach
Grayson James
Cure Magical it would be Kirara but shes cuter without the Cure outfit
Joseph Richardson
I think I was just bored. It was near the start of Dokidoki. I'd seen and loved CCS and Sailor Moon, so it didn't seem weird to watch a cartoon for little girls. I caught up over the next few months, then fell in with /ai/.
Bentley Taylor
If we're going by civilian forms then the cutest one is Nao
Sword, easy. Honourable mentions to Milky, Whip, Egret, and Lovely.
Adam Allen
>whynotboth.gif Somebody edit her poofy wet hair onto this image. Or edit her shorts out of this episode, either way.
Hunter Brown
I want the towel to come with it to. The way it looked like some sort of hood or something was nice. Maybe just some kind of nice scarf. But yeah, no shorts, and wet hair.
Friend who was into it showed me a few of the series. Go!Pri was laser targeted to my interests and I fell in love with it and binged the whole thing. Then one series led to another.
Looked it up when it was advertised in the upcoming show chart threads with Suite. People told me I didn't need to watch all the series to watch Suite so I watched all the series (at least all the episodes that were subbed at the time) in like half a year.
That's perfectly fine, it's a lot more on the shoujo side of mahou shoujo, and has a lot more in common with 80s magical girls like minky momo or creamy mami than it does post sailor moon types.
Evan Diaz
Another essential Mahou Shoujo, and even more peculiar than CCS, is Doremi. Try it.
Elijah Parker
granbelm isn't a magical girl show and it also isn't good
Turns out I did jump the gun a bit after all: not a day after I uploaded it in potato quality, Commie put out a nice, 720p raw for Precure Historia. Somehow I didn't notice until now. I re-timed my subs to match Commie's raw, so if anyone cares, you can grab them in the usual place.
>hideously bad That's exaggerating quite a bit. The subs were okay.
Logan Barnes
What's wrong with Kirakira's?
Juan Sanchez
It's been too many years since I watched them to say they're terrible with complete confidence, but I really think the main reason they're not seen that way is that standards were different back then. You didn't see people make twenty-screenshot collages of mistranslated lines back then, maybe because that wasn't the culture at the time or just because the people watching it didn't know any better. They hadn't spent the past decade watching Precure livestreams every Sunday morning like modern /pc/ has. I think if someone knowledgeable took a serious look at anything up to and including Fresh, they'd find a ton of mistakes and badly written lines.
Tons of lines are practically rewrites, but then there are also Japanese words left all over the place. They can't even decide between saying Precure and saying Pretty Cure, both are used seemingly at random. At first I thought the subs couldn't decide whether to be liberal or literal, but then it occurred to me that maybe all the parts that look liberal are really just guess-subs in disguise, and that seems pretty likely.

For what it's worth, Gelatin didn't use the v2's available for the first half of Kirakira, instead using the much more inconsistent versions that were posted right after it aired.
>403 Isn't that the error where you can click in the address bar and hit enter to make it work? It happens with some sites that don't like you linking to them directly, like Famitsu articles. Might not help with Nyaa though, sorry if I wasted your time.
Liam Harris
The problem with SS is that you think it's going to be as bad as max heart and max heart makes a lot of people drop it
I'm pretty impressed with the nip user who delivered hat line and also the sound effects guy that did ribbons sneeze and other things.
Aiden Garcia
Hikaru is pretty cool.
Nicholas Allen
Star is cooler than other recent pinks, but she maxes out at like a 5 or 6 out of ten on the cool scale once every twenty episodes. Lovely hit 9 at least once a month.
I told you nigger to not drop Splash Star, glad you didn't. It only goes uphill from here, and remember to get hyped for the final arc. Define "Romantic". Because if it's Het central >Yes5/GoGo >Happiness Charge >Hugtto And /u/ central >Kira >Maho >Heartcatch (sort of) The rest of the seasons usually have someone to act as relationship bait with the pink or someone in the team, thus bringing shitposting about it (See: Suite). Hime Crush was more natural than Megumi's, plus there was a pretty good chance for her to win at the end. Megumi was being cucked since day 1 and her only natural conclussion to her romance would be a broken heart.
Aaron Allen
Her pure warrior's spirit shines brightest of all. As a samurai I can't ignore it. Our children would be a force to be reckoned with. Our clan could one day rule all of Japan!
Big fists were my personal favorite but laser sword was a lose second. Weren't there some things specifically references to mecha anime? I'm assuming her eye lasers. That chest laser heat beam thing maybe? Or I think something she did at the end in space too.
Zachary Wilson
boys can be cute too
Brandon Garcia
you cut that out
Easton Barnes
I'm racking my brain trying to think of a punch to the face, I feel like it's definitely happened but I can't bring any to mind. Now I'm going to be paying attention to these things every time I watch an episode, thanks NHK.
Kevin Brooks
if it's any consolation, i don't really mean it
Isaiah Butler
>chest laser heat beam thing Excuse me good user, I think you mean LOVELY BREAST FIRE. Which yes, comes from Mazinger.
I have this autistic problem with Twinkle, and it's the same problem I had with Maho. The idea of going to other worlds leaves so little rules to the people working on it that it doesn't feel interesting.
William Ward
Most of her attacks were references to Mazinger Z The fists are Rocket Punches, the eye lasers Photon Beam and the chest attack the Breast Fire
Dominic Brown
going to a new world can be cool if you're willing to make the rules instead of just doing whatever you want
in a way I'm almost thankful maho was more focused on the normal world than the magic world since it didn't overstay its welcome on an episode to episode basis. only better alternative is if they went full magic world and fleshed it out way more but I doubt they'd have gone that route anyway.
Gabriel Turner
Well you're right about one thing, that's not a sensible problem to have. What's wrong with your little girl fantasy cartoons having weird creatures in weird lands?
Parker Stewart
Well, that's next after Ideon then. Ideon was kind of reminding me of Megumi too, but with more rockets and possibly smaller fists. Thanks, anons.
Jacob Bennett
Still better than an episode about a rice cooker.
Gavin Gray
You got a problem with oishii gohan? Well, do ya, punk?
Not her, the episode of maho where they talked about a rice cooker for most of it
Luke Cooper
You may be thinking of pinks taking fairies to the face. The problem with Maho's magical world was how boring most of it was. Twinkle's worlds have been much more fun.
Charles Perry
>No hits on the face Uhhhhh, Iirc Goyan slaped the shit out of Mai and Saki, also again Iirc Passion and Eas KO'ed each other with a punch in their face. I love Maho, and I like Twinkle. But after this week episode I'm like you now, I'm starting to see Twinkle as Maho 2.0. Big setting, constant travel to whismical places, but what about the interactions? At least Maho had a good chunk of episodes with the damedame trio and a good chunk with the muggle trio, that way we came to love them but Twinkle? AT MOST the one who's been more highlighted is Sakurako. Everyone else just had had one or two episodes then fucks off, and this Samaan arc won't be different with what probably be 3 or 4 episodes on Samaan then leave them behind. I'm seriously fearing about Twinkle and Yuni/Lala can't carry it like Hime did.
Elijah Perez
I'm more excited to watch Maho than I already was now.
If you're seeing Twinkle as Maho 2.0 that's good since Maho was great. Maho had really strong interactions between the cures, if Twinkle can focus a bit more on that it will be in a good place.
I checked. It was a fistbump at full force. Weird, I remembered it different. Also every time I rewatch a bit of that episode I'm reminded how kino that episode was, in all senses. >People died for real Brutal.
Carson Harris
What did you want, a Star Trek TOS Precure? Little girls don't care about Twinkles not dying of radiation cancer or not freezing to death or how are they able to breathe on every planet they land, they only want their half hour of silly fun. As you should.
James Peterson
Dem peaches uff
Daniel Rivera
Oh yeah. Sometimes I forget Fresh didn't have magical fights that fixed everything. That was pretty rad actually.
I think they're putting that freedom to good creative use so far.
Jonathan Wood
>Star Trek Precure You're god damn right I want that. Lala, scan for life readings.
David Martin
Not having that Holy light who just fixes everything once the MotW is defeated is one of the many reasons why Fresh is one of the top seasons. Also makes it a great way to make stakes. >We won't hold our dance contest today because some asshole summoned some giant monster and destroyed everything, please understand.
Zachary Hall
I really liked how they became local heroes, even visiting a little cancer girl in the hospital. I thought that would just be the way of things from then on, but it wasn't, just here and there.
Oliver Cruz
Are there any others that don't have the magic healing light? I can't think of any right now.
It was just what I was expecting out of GoGo (which it didn't). I think Fresh has done so many things right that others seasons just refuses to do again (some do but it's a scarcity). >Badass fight in the first episode >Incest >Christianity >Life and death >Precures being a public figure >A common civilian out of their friend's circle knowing about their secret and helping them to get stronger. >Revealing themselves to their familiar and friends, letting them know that they'll go on a very dangerous adventure, thus grounding them to avoid to get hurt HaCha for a brief moment, but aside from that Fresh is the only one without damage fixed (You could count Twinkle but there wasn't a true big damage done in the serie, I don't even remember of Cratters were made).
Ayden Jones
I thought HaCha everything went back to normal after the monster was defeated? All the mold or candy or whatever would disappear and the person would get de-mirrored at least.
Gavin Ortiz
The last point is the best one. I was really let down when they didn't do it at the end of Heartcatch. There were 20 people left on earth with everything hanging in the balance and they still couldn't reveal themselves. I got the sense that everyone knew anyway, but it falls far short of explicitly doing it.
Henry Scott
Which mascot is the most fuckable?
Xavier Morales
I just started a couple months ago, after seeing these threads and thinking Lala was super cute. So I've been following Star Twinkle, also I've been watching Mahoutsukai because its girls are real cute too.
Aiden Cruz
That's why I said for a brief moment. To be honest all the damage on the Blue Sky kingdom wasn't fixed until the fight with Red ended. Yeah that one actually hurted. >"I'm sure the Precures are going to save us!, we must believe in them!" >Tsubomi: Yes! Let's believe in them!" (Proceds to transform far away everyone).
Heroes should keep their identities a secret. But I would have liked it if the Heartcatch's revealed them too.
Angel Rivera
Mihoshi Town in ST seems to be small, it's the same countryside feeling that I get from Splash Star, there's a big lake (sea on SS) on the middle, a lot of fights happens near grasslands and forests.
>Who deserved it Pikario >Who didn't Pekorin. She just needed to be a human faerie, like Charles, not a goddamn Cure. Nor Charles if that's what you're implying.
/pc/, does anyone here know if the scans of the KiraKira Precure special editions 1 and 2 mangas were ever posted or uploaded? I'm looking for the raws.
>brainwashed two or three times >gets nearly murdered by her good twin and put into a coma for a bunch of episodes >has to share her husbandwife Mana with other girls True suffering.
you guys kept making threads on it here so I thought I might as well give it a try. Was lookin for a comfy show anyways. I still dont watch it until the season's over though.
HaCha kigs are so much prettier than the others. They almost look like they're actually based on the anime, where most kigs seem to be based on nightmare monsters from hell.
Pink: Cure Captain Blue: Cure Sea Yellow: Cure Booty Green: Cure Tropical Extra Cure White: Cure Jolly I couldn't think on anything else.
Dominic Peterson
Precure uses girly themes, Star Twinkle is probably the most neutral we ever got, wishing for outright boy themes like "pirates" and "ninjas" is just not going to happen.
>Cure Booty I could see a Cure Treasure though. Probably be similar to Yuni except without the noble motive of trying to save their people or some shit. Just a treasure hunter that eventually learns "friendship is the true treasure" or some other platitude to makes them join the team.
Yeah, a Cutlass is cuter and more aesthetic but I just like the shape a scimitar has, either one can work desu. >Not loving a Pink Pirate costume You can twist it enough to work, and you could shoehorn the excuse of "Girls can do what boys can" for it to happen. I like it better, it sounds less double-enter and more safe for little girls.
Imouto is cute but that's it. Even Char wasn't too creepy in this episode. But we have most of tier 1 updates so something is going to start soon. Because Yukari episode next!
I love Pekorin to bits and reasonably enjoyed her ending episodes, but she really didn't deserve to be a Precure over Pikario. Doesn't help that she was kinda sorta a bit basically useless, and the show recognized that. The stars will grow cold and dark before I stop being kinda fucking pissed that Kirakira seemed to go out of its way to not make him a Precure.
Jack Powell
>Kirakira seemed to go out of its way to not make him a Precure. He's a boy, that's the big reason. Hugtto brought the first sign of revolution, now wait until 2030 for the first boy Cure part of the main team.
Zachary Long
The Kirakira staff really seemed to want a boy Cure. Akira is basically a boy (female). I don't even want a male to have a headline role as a Precure (or at the absolute least, I wouldn't push for it, since I'd be okay with it), but Rio just got shafted.
Julian King
I wouldn't be surprised if half the team wanted Cure Waffle to happen but stopped shy of asking for it from the top level of decision-making (producer? board?).
... Only to have Hugtto steamroller the idea through. I wonder if it was just a question of the right people asking.
Parker Turner
Kirakira went out of their way not to make Pikario or Bibury Precure.
Parker Sullivan
>I wonder if it was just a question of the right people asking. Well, Hugtto had Junichi Sato on-board, maybe he had a hand on that.
Luke Torres
maybe it's a "they shut it down and then realized that it was actually a good idea too late" thing.
