Kobayashi is always right.

There's nothing wrong with Sora's. Sango's only flaw was that she had her big moment in her first episode.

>>285993574
Sora's arc is incomplete and HS suffers for that, but she's legitimately a really likable lead.
Sango, on the other hand, is pretty nonexistent.

The whole eclair/arcana made the cake bit is a weird theory. Didnt they buy it from a shop? Unless they run a cake shop.

But as for baking theory
>Arcana gave birth to Eclair
>Eclair growing up knew her mom liked sweets and wanted to make her happy, knowing she likes sweets.
>something happened to her mom and a fairy takes her back in time.
>retarded fairy is now a baby and she has no fucking clue whats going on.
>She knows how to make food so she's living with bakery man until the plot kicks in

I solved it.

Not only would this be truer to the values of the show, but it'd also be more effective. If it's a genuine troll post, you shouldn't feed the trolls; if it's not, you shouldn't tell other anons what they can or cannot enjoy.
Once people are civilized and post in good faith, the ceiling for discussion quality becomes higher and low-quality posts will be obvious on their own without anyone having to call them out.

Your post inspired me to make this infographic. Maybe it'll be helpful?
I'm not sure what the secret sauce was that made 4chan such a fun place in the mid 2000's, but I feel that to some extent, we've become more individualistic and less willing to remix each other.
It could also just be that most of the creative people who made this place special have moved on to psuedo-anonymous websites (like twitter etc) where it's easier for them to get recognition for their work.

I do think people tend to undervalue the importance of the supposedly boring, mundane and/or more standard aspects of storytelling and overvalue gimmicks and other nonstandard aspects of stories. But the latter often only work because they're grounded by or contrasted by the former. That said, they do work very well for marketing and generating hype.

GoPri is a season I like a lot. It falls short of being one of my favorites despite that because it's very safe thematically even if the execution of the themes it does have is near perfect. It's very good vanilla whereas my favorites have more distinct flavor.
I do think it makes a good intro season because of that though, at least as far as what to expect from a more typical season from the franchise goes, and it's a pretty easy top 10.

I think we should all get along, what is the latest entry you have seen (other than detective buddies)? A rewatch is fine too! I'll start, currently watching Sky, catching up from a 3 year break! Last episode was the zoo one (25), I really like when villains have some sort of honor code that has them fight fair and square, hope he stays this way.
>>
>>285999399
>>285999450
Dunno, I think it depends of how hard a season botched stuff, I can look fondly to GoPri but it's hard to enjoy HS again. Even if I loved it for the first half, Sora's arc is not even complete and I think that's a sin for a HERO GIRL season.

Just sounds we have different priorities.
I think funny valuable up to a certain point, but if the show has no character/plot to support it then it just becomes like an episodic cartoon that you don't really have a reason to watch another episode? Like Tom & Jerry or something.
Maybe GoPri doesn't have as many jokes as HS but it also had a clear through line in terms of arcs, looking forward to what X villain is going to do, etc.

Funny, because despite its flaws I can remember the HS story and beats and characters so, so much better than GoPri. I guess it's fine to be a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none series that makes you go :| but I think I value and respect a show more when they take risks, and when there's more to discuss about the show, both good and bad. I mean the opposite of love is not hate, but disinterest.

Not remotely true. I didn't believe that even before HS goes down the drain in the 4th cour or so. The problem with HS from an episode by episode perspective is that the villains are ass. It's tolerable at first, but still noticeable. There are definitely times in Precure where the generals are just there, but HS generals made me wish they didn't exist on a semi-frequent basis

I just don't think GoPri cast is great. Haruka is fine but no Sora. Minami exists, Towa is there too, Kirara is hot and the best but she cant carry the season.
Close is great but the villains barely matter to me. Most of the time in precure they just have a 1 minute meeting for a joke halfway into episode then just to summon a monster then leave.
GoPri plot is mediocre too.
>>
>>285999642
HS just has more soul
>>
>>285999746
Having 2 great characters out of 4, 1 good character and 1 "ok I guess" character is not a bad track record.
GoPri has a simple plot but how it's structured and presented is why it's good. When you start to watch a bunch of the lesser seasons the things that some of the stronger seasons do right become more heightened.

You're the newfag that watched like 6 seasons right. To be completely frank with you, Precure is not that solid of a franchise.
It has like 10 shows that I would genuinely recommend but the back-half is rough in all sorts of ways.

Then again stuff like Kamen Rider, Digimon, etc has some peak shows and weak stuff too, and generally I could see someone enjoying those and not Precure, but just like Precure watching the weaker stuff will make you notice how the stronger stuff is well-put together. I think that's valid to all multi-season jp kid's shows franchises (minus like Ojamajo Doremi, which is solid all the way through).

Haruka is Sora except done right. Sora's character arc was so badly written that its fiercest defenders use "it's ok that all her character development happened off screen" as an excuse for the garbage writing while Haruka's motivations and goals and their antitheses are solved in the show itself.
Sora's arc was so bad that the writer had to supplement it in the kanshasai because he knew he fucked up.

HS is honestly pretty bad as far as overall soul levels go. Like, the midseason arc, Halloween, and marriage episodes are pretty memorable, but it's one of weaker seasons from a purely soul perspective. As for an exampke of what I mean, I'd say HaCha was worse than HS from an overall quality standpoint, but it's hard to criticize it for a lack of soul at the very least.
I didn't rank each season within most of the tiers since that was a bit too nuanced and just placed them at chronological order. It was easy to rank within the lowest tier though. Top tier is only split like that to sidestep the watermark. For the record, it's obviously too soon to rank SD, but it's a pretty obvious candidate for the top tier of soul one way or the other.
>>286000164
Generally speaking, Precure is surprisingly consistent as far as long running anime franchises go. I'm not into toku, so I can't compare to that, but stuff like Gundam and Digimon have lower lows.
>>
>>286000258
Ganbalance came out in 2006, it being SD's 2nd ED would make no sense.
>>
>>286000215
At the time they thought "That ED was popular" rather than realizing that "Dancing EDs" are popular.
That's why they started to expand with different dances starting in Fresh (hell, the SS ED might be THE reason Fresh has a dancing subtheme).

Sora's character "arc" requires for you to make up your own headcanon for how she reacted to Skearhead's ultimate fate and how that figures into her view of heroes and how she ended up solving that paradox so I applaud your imagination and the ability to turn black into white, you are at least a better writer than GoPri's writer was.

Comparing the final scenes of Sora (even if you include the "Dark Sky" part) with Haruka is downright sad.
That GoPri scene is cinema meanwhile it doesn't feel like Sora connects with the bigger themes of the show at all.
Sora always had a good base and I found her fun, but she really needed more juice in the second half.

I think Kira overall did well when it came to Ichika, Himari, and Aoi. Yukari wasn't used to her full potential, but she at least had the excuse of being a difficult character to develop and use in the context of the franchise. I would argue that Meroron is basically Yukari done as right as possible. Akira and Ciel were pretty badly done for no reason though.
As for the villains, yeah, most of them had writing problems one way or the other. I think they kind of wrote themselves in to a corner with Elisio though. I'm not sure how they could properly execute a character with a premise like his.

Because they didn't show it at all, or even imply it? Hell, just having Sora react to the Skearhead reveal in any way would've been the minimum expectation but it was just dropped.
Gopri had Haruka and the final boss waxing philosophical about hope and despair and it all tied into her views of what a princess is, Sora got fuck and all and then she's suddenly the hero she always wanted to be at the end.

>Ichika, Himari, and Aoi.
I thought the season barely did anything with Ichika, Himari is the typical "shy girl who has to overcome her shyness" and nothing else to her character, which is pretty boring, and Aoi is completely useless when her rock band dream isn't the focus, which is out of place for a season like Kira,
>Yukari wasn't used to her full potential
Agree, though i think the biggest problem is that she wasn't allowed to interact with other characters, her interaction with Rio in episode 16 was interesting, but they never interacted again, which was a complete waste, the same with Yukari/Akira.
Her interactions with Ciel in episode 45 was unwarranted since they had no meaningful interactions early on.
Another problem is that her arc was rushed as fuck. Episode 45 felt it was supposed to conclude her arc, but there was so little buildup to that, and her decision to study aboard came out of nowhere.
>Akira and Ciel were pretty badly done for no reason though.
Hard agree, this season has done little to nothing with Akira, everytime there's a moment where there's consequences for her excessive selflessness, the season then backtracks on that and lets Akira save the day, her dialogue to Elisio in episode 44 was so cringe i wanted to kill myself.
Ciel was easily the shittiest one, her character is so underdeveloped and aimless, and her relationship with Rio was quite artificial, and yet she has so much screentime and a movie for basically no reason.

It's still the same thing as "facing her fears", and the execution was really lame.

Needs "Thin Fan #3" which is the one who thinks they're number #2 but they're actually just the extreme opposite of number #1, which is to say they're jaded and hate everything now, those fans often can't offer any interesting discussion because there's no balance, it's like a soccer fan showing up to a basketball game.

Nothing wrong with complaining about basketball when it should be more like soccer.

Well that's a shame, i thought /pc/ is for true Precure fans.

I think Happiness Charge is heavily underrated and that Blue is a top 5 final villain. Innocent Purification is a top 3 group finisher

Will Mikuru get to see what her granddaughter looks like?
Probably not for a while.

>>286001108
"Facing your fears" doesn't mean stopping being afraid of anything.
As for the execution, I thought the resolution in episode 43 was really odd, her crippling self-esteem was never brought up much before this episode, especially when compared to Pikario whose self-esteem issue was properly built up.
And the self-analysis resolution was gay as shit.
>>
>>286001212
>Blue is a top 5 final villain
Nobody likes Blue so yeah, probably. I don't agree with the rest though.
My three favorite group finishers are Heartcatch Orchestra, Lucky Clover Grand Finale, and Hugtto's.

It was brought up in her first episode and the episode with Julio at the very least. It's a core part of who she is and why she withdrew into herself after her classmates ignored her.

I should rewatch Fresh

So when do we get the other Otonas? is there any other staff that wants to sequel their seasons?

Yup, i was right once again

I remember sometimes they would post /pc/ on 2ch. Think it was during Smile to Hacha. If anyone from Japan is here, post us on 2ch.
>>
>>286001382
Yes, but it was only brought up very sporadically, and Himari never really shared her experience of shyness with other characters who might have a similar experience (like Pikario), which would have been nice.
>>
>>
>>286001428
Isn't there a japanese channel that does an "overview" of certain /a/ threads for the japanese audience? Dunno if the creator is a westerner that knows nip or a nip that knows english, but japanese people are kinda interacting with content from here even if indirectly (via the youtube video showing posts from here translated to moonrunes).
I don't think they ever made Precure videos though.
>>
>>286001488
I do remember during Frieren they would post a youtube channel reacting to Frieren episode reactions from /a/
>>
>>286001488
yeah, i remember some of those

Hell, Himari would have been a lot better if Kira allowed her to interact with other characters, really it doesn't make any sense that Kira, a season about SWEETS, doesn't allow her to do anything, and that she doesn't interact with Ciel and Rio, even though they all share the same interest.

They're going to make the reveal of "Anna's mom is Mikuru" into a big part of the plot. Probably realizing it when she has to return to 2027 to chase the big bad. After...a tearful scene of separation from young Mikuru, of course (as she'll most likely won't be able to travel to the future).

The possibility of JettPapa fills me with a quiet disgust for JeRu because that would kill Anna.

Let's face it, the only way this theory makes sense is if he pumped and dumped.

or he changed his appearance later so cakeMikuru wouldn't look like a pedo.
>>
>>286001746
Imagine if they revealed that in the final arc?
>>
>>286002514
And he somehow never, even accidentally, transforms into a fairy in front of her, despite doing it whenever he falls over, and when he's tired?
>>

I love couples that are pedo in the opposite way from what they look like

>>286002678
there’s still plenty of stuff that is still unknown like:
>is the CUREtto Agency office still around in 2027?
>are there more time travelers?
>did hagMikuru/Ruruka have their memories sealed as not to affect the timeline?
>is Jett-senpai still alive in 2027?
It’s still too early to tell. Big bad may actually be a time/space fairy or used one to travel to 1999.
>>
>>286003068
>>is Jett-senpai still alive in 2027?
They are not going to kill the cute boy.
>>
>>286003068
>is Jett-senpai still alive in 2027?
Why would Anna's dad be dead? He's just on business trip to London but he will make a surprise visit for his daughter's birthday party in the final episode.
>>
>>286003076
>>286003144
Not really dead-dead but more like “he had to seal himself to seal the big bad before” sort of deal but it becoming undone after Anna is sent to 1999.
>>
>>286003196
It's always a sign of a good theory when it has to get more and more convoluted to still stand up to scrutiny.
>>
>>285998604
Beautiful. This what we should strive for.
