Finished Hugtto.
>I said I didn't care for Cure Yell's design, but I really preferred Hana's old hairstyle, what a literal downgrade. Yell's design sort of grew on me but Hana's old hairstyle was better
>That said, Hana herself was likeable and I got shades of Doremi and Pop from her and her sister. Her grandma was great too.
>Homare was the best of the cast initially and her dynamic with Henri was interesting.
>Harry is how you do a fairy, the lack of a verbal tic makes him and Tarte top-tier, alongside actually being able to fight. Rewatching Yes5 is grating when these older male mentor figures are useless.
>Hugtan wasn't annoying, actually added to the plot and grew on me both as a character and a plot device.
>Saaya's mild rivalry with Lulu was her peak. Her mother was more interesting then she was.
I was expecting Lulu to become a cure, but I felt they could have did more with her being an android. She really grew on me far more than the rest of the cast. EP14 was one of her best episodes alongside EP30.
I also wasn't expecting the initial CotW to become a cure. Emiru bounced off Lulu perfectly, she didn't feel tacked on or forced. Her mindbreak in EP41 was great.
Henri's arc was a shock to me, I thought he'd try to perform and fail, but getting in a car accident was something else. Him being the 'first' male cure wasn't surprising given his character. Emiru's brother is definitely a homo, shocking on their end to show and not tell with that one.

2/2
Going back to Hugtan, I knew she was from the future but I didn't make heads and tails of her being Hana's daughter until the final episode when Hana went into labor. Not showing the dad completely was a coward move, and I sort of agree with some of those crack theories that Henri was a sperm donor going by Hugtan's blonde hair. That would have made for a more interesting conversation if they didn't show the dad. Or maybe it was George again. Could be from his side of the family.
And the big one: I thought the massive crossover arc was an attempt to gain ratings. There was a lot to do with going into different worlds, mainly with trying to bring in Hana from the bad timeline before she died or even alternate worlds where different versions of the cast appeared. Using that to bring in other cures while nice to see, seemed wasted on a TV season, especially the anniversary milestone. The initial reveal going in blind was a surprise, but definitely that should have been saved for a special or a movie. Is All-Stars Memories worth watching?
The future looking the way it does is very optimistic on the director's end, 2026 is here and it looks nothing like that one, even in a fictional setting like Precure's.
I got other things to watch, so I'll give Star Twinkle a whack in February.

Hugtan has George’s eye color as her color, he has golden eyes.

I'm hoping though I don't want to take any personal theories I have for the season seriously until the cast list comes out in January 4th.
Silhouettes should come out in a few days IIRC in case anyone wants more confirmation the leaked images are real, but it's pretty much 100% certain at this point.

There's also the fact that it was clearly George running with the flowers specific to him in that scene in the epilogue. Interviews also point out it was him.

Lulu was perfection until they lobotomized her and gave her a personality, then she became another ruined purple cure. Emiru saved her.

Saaya is love and you will not slander her in my presence. She will better than her mother, who is the best cure mama in the franchise, don't @ me either, you know I'm right

Neat designs, but it's the end of the Heisei era, so savor it. Reiwa is where the stagnation really shows itself.

There’s only really been one objectively bad season in Reiwa so far and that’s HS.

Why would you? Compare it to Rider where a certain season affects all future seasons. Pic related caused Rider to shift from a more darker tone to a have more light hearted seasons in the 2010s.
And W caused the series to have more emphasize on upgrade toys.
I don't recall any Precure season having a massive effect on future titles. HC did not cause future Precure seasons to be darker despite making lots of money.

I said stagnant, not bad. Wonderful is legit close to being bad but it isn't. Boring is worse than bad, and good characters can't save a boring season.

>>284623297
I feel like Fresh, HC, Smile, Doki, and HaCha have had an evenish amount of impact on future seasons (sorry Suite), though in the case of HaCha, it felt like future staff took it as an example of what not to do.

Man this sucks how uneven both shows turned out to be.
>>
>>284623394
Clearly the meta is to watch the start of Idol precure, then the late part of princession and pretend it's the same show.
Actually, how is that? I loved Symphogear from the same guys but it wasn't doing it for me at the start indeed.

But thanks for reminding me I have to finish last season of symphogear (way more interesting show by that studio)

>>284623394
Magical girl shows always have fillee but Precure hides it better. Princession has absolutely miserable stretches of episodes where they spend reiterating the current plot for several episodes with no interesting developments or fun slice of life moments at all, most egregious examples being the one by one general battle episodes during 2nd cour's final arc and the recent sister drama arc.
Idol at least had been fun even when the plot hasn't developed while with Princession can barely hold your attention because most episodes are the girls sitting in their tea room talking about the same plot points for the umpteenth time.

The franchise only really consistently did final cour character episodes for every Cure after Smile. Fresh and HC didn't have them (along with HaCha), but it's been almost always the case from GoPri on.
Doki amped up the yuribait a lot compared to previous seasons and was the first season since FW and MH to really put heavy emphasis on the lead. Seasons as onesidedly yuri like Maho, Kira Kira, and ST might not have happened without Doki, and there have been a decent number of seasons after Doki that are very lead centric (GoPri, Hugtto, HG) if not to the same extent.
Like I said in my original post, HaCha's influence is more of a case of what not to do since future seasons haven't dared to be as soap opera-y. Yuki and Meroron's friction with their team may have been inspired by HaCha though (Narita wrote HaCha and Chiaki Kon did direct the HaCha movie).
>>
>copied the post that hurt him

>>284623627
If it gets the Maho writer, I would expect ST tier yuribait, which is still really high.

>>284623729
>I want to keep arguing so I'll stretch this out as long as possible.
That is exactly what you are doing right now. Just stop for once.
>>
>>284623525
Princession suffers from the HS effect where they both have so much potential yet the writer's incompetence not only ruins that potential but because the writing is so bad that it manages to sour you on the good parts of the show too.
It's a real shame because both shows are excellent on paper but when you peer behind the shiny surface all you find is shit.
