I think people bingewatching older shows mess up their expectations of new shows because no way they don't realize how in shows like early GoPri/Hugtto/etc we barely knew anything in ep3. It's only later on that these shows got the reputation that they have now.
New seasons aren't going to deliver the whole range of feelings of an older show in 60 minutes.

It will payoff later on. Murayama is going big with the ending, and the soundtrack is helping a lot. I already started tearing up in anticipation during some scenes that were too emoi than they had any right to be

Because I feel like I know nothing about Anna and Mikuru as people outside of their basic traits, and they are just the same character basically, yes, it's too early, but you should make your characters interesting in the first place, because there's no reason to care if you didn't.
And there's also nothing exciting about the setting or the side characters or the potential plot.
>it has a lot of attention to detail and I feel like this show is all about playing the long game.

I'm very cynical about that, many previous seasons have lackluster payoffs and final arcs.

Most seasons do a decent job introducing at least one of the Cures 3 episodes in. As far as recent seasons go that don't really do a good job, I would say that would be Delicious Party and Wonderful. Yui, Komugi, and Iroha didn't really leave me with a great first impression. I'd say I really like Mikuru and like Anna about 3 episodes in, so SD's been doing a good job so far.
>>
>>286174580
He's going to do it right. The Maho penultimate episode (the real ending) proves that. He's going to do it even better. Star Detective will be his perfected vision

Besides, almost every recent season had a lackluster final arc, so it's better to be cautious from the start instead of raising your hopes up from the start.

You definitvely can do classic ideas well or bad.

One can say "both Maho and HS have goodbye scenes" and that's not false, but the one in Maho is at least 10 times better. That's why I think this approach of "it has been done before so it's not important" doesn't matter in a franchise like Precure, one could argue barely anything in Precure is truly new, some things are new WITHIN Precure but you could cherrypick a bunch of things that originated in older anime.
So when it comes down to it, execution is what separates seasons and what we have to look forward to. Yes it's a classic plotbeat but the road to get there and execution is more interesting than knowing it's going to happen.

>So when it comes down to it, execution is what separates seasons and what we have to look forward to. Yes it's a classic plotbeat but the road to get there and execution is more interesting than knowing it's going to happen.
Agree, however, all of the recent seasons have fumbled their execution in one way or another, and this season doesn't give me any confidence that it will be better.
My main concern is that this season will have its characters fucking around aimlessly and won't develop them or introduce anything new about them at all.
>>
>>286174902

Mikuru has the whole thing with Meitanteis/her mom/inspirational figure on standby, Anna is probably going to be the center piece of the main theme around truth and that's on standby as well.
At this stage I don't see how that's different to other seasons, ep3 had some tidbits like Anna starting to become homesick and realizing how even her home city had things she didn't knew about, Mikuru finding that book is probably a hint of a future episodic story, seeing Jett tardrwaggling the Cures a shota ojisan was funny.
Structurally this season is closest to HC since we have a central episodic story with the Cures being proactive to solve it. I mean all seasons have episodes like that to some extent or another, but HC still had the most and it seems like Meitantei will come second behind.
>>
>>286175026
Idol's went by way too fast.
>>
>>286175049
Idol didn't even need a goodbye, the final ep tried to mark too many checkboxes.
Would probably be alright if they split it into a two-parter. Dunno why we had a dedicated epilogue episode for a good while but ever since HS they dropped it.
>>
Since Itaoka already did Anna and Mikuru's transformation, who will animate Luluka's?
>>
>>286175075
It still doesn't say a lot about their personalities, though i hope i'll be wrong and the season will develop Anna's character and explain why her mother (from the present) is important to the plot, and will reveal who her father is, but again, i'm quite skeptical.

>>
>>286175310
Yes. Movies establish their plots in the first third of movie and we're past that now
>>
>>286175190
Apparently Mikuru got the pendant from her grandma and if we go based off symbolism from ep1, the bride from the first cause wanted to use her mother's tiara because her mother used it in her own wedding, this establishes a theme of family ties and admiration.

It really doesn't need to be "the mom is only justified in the plot if she's a narrative tool", it can just be something symbolic but that's just my guess for now.
As for the dad, maybe they'll show him and even have MikuruXdad interactions but not really show the romance developing on-screen because it's not within the scope of the show to have a romance plotline.

>>286170588
Woah, while typing that reply, I noticed that Natsuumi also has a body of water in it (umi), so I guess it's actually an overarching theme of bodies of water. (I thought La Mer meant Mermaid and Laura is an exception but I checked and it actually means The Sea which follows the overarching theme) though just for the record I have no idea how mura or village has anything to do with water or bodies of water but I'll take your word for it

That would suck if there was no (good) romance, a season being about only one thing isn't fun after all.
>>286175423
That still doesn't translate into Murayama being a professional writer, they probably brought him into the show because they have no vision for this season, and Murayama was the only available choice.

Seasons are always a collaboration effort, no such thing as a master that always knows what they're doing: Just look at the HC director making HaCha.

It sounds like you're autistically focused on semantics and details, who goes into autisic detail about someone when asked to talk about them? It could be interpreted as glazzing too much or kinda embarassing. You can definitively explain something you like in a person without writing the bible.

Inoue's daughter already made multiple Precure episodes, she could get her own season a day but dunno how much the Gozyuger situation hurt her chances.
But for the people that don't know, here's the tree of the Inoue family:

>Inoue grandpa: Worked in the very first Kamen Rider season and many other iconic oldschool tokus
>Inoue dad: First worked in Super Sentai with an iconic season like Jetman which was bold and innovative for the time, he also went to be the main writer of many Kamen Rider seasons in the 2000s.
>Inoue daughter: She first worked in Precure light novels like the Max Heart light novels, but she also has done many individual episodes. Despite NOT being the Idol main writer, she wrote 10 episodes. Her biggest work in Gozyuger which ended as the final Super Sentai season (it was already decided to be the last one from the get go, so it's not her "fault" or anything, but this show had some spicy drama behind the scenes because of the actress being "questionable").

Apologies to Inoue's daughter but I don't know which precure episodes she wrote or how's the precure novels but her work on Gozyuger was extremely sloppy even before the actress drama.
Maybe she'll fit better as a precure writer but as a toku writer she's lacking compared to the rest of her family history. Or perhaps she needs more experiencing writing more shows

It doesn't make any sense because it's literally 14 years before Anna is born, Mikuru is more likely to bond with a guy after Anna leaves, not fall in love and then awkwardly fidget around waiting to become a cake so she can have her best friendaughter.

Skearhead was too complex a villain for most people here to admit because it hits a little too close to home for some. There are far too many people in real life that pretend to be intellectuals but are actually narcissistic psychopaths with no real power of their own, so they leech onto others. That is what Toei was trying to convey with Skearhead. When Skearhead originally blocked the Majestic Halation, he wasn't blocking it with his own power - he was using Kaiserin's power that she wasn't using because she was mentally broken. That's how he was defeated by it at the end. Skearhead had to use mental manipulation to make up for his lack of power, something a lot of people here know far too well.

>>
>>286178255
No, that's weird. All they needed to do was make Skearhead progressively more threatening and competent over time, but they did the opposite. He has to be one of the worst bad guys in precure, even including all the forgettable ones I can't think of.
>>
>>286178255
Ok but why would she do this?

Kind of the same here. I was about as surprised to see that as a theory as I was to see that Daruizen/Nodoka was an unironic ship for HG.

>>286178427
No, it actually makes sense. A psychopath's best look is when you first meet him. As you get to know him more, he becomes weaker and more pathetic. Toei did him justice.
>>
>>286178255
As an evil mastermind Shalala? No, it wouldn't have made any sense.
As an illusion to trick Sora? Already done earlier in the season.
As a captured Shalala controlled by Skearhead in order to break Sora into letting him control Sora? That would have been absolutely kino.

All demons should look that way. People who wanted Skearhead to be this Red-level threat requiring some universal-tier attack to defeat him didn't understand what Skearhead was all about: He was about a powerless being pretending to be powerful through mental manipulation. Even weaklings like Battamonda were more powerful than he was. That's what psychopaths do: They leech off of others to make up for their own lack of power.

I honestly don't think /pc/'s mental state will recover if Toei just completely ignores this fan theory and doesn't do anything with it. There are so many "hints" in the show about this that it's hard to ignore, but then again, this is Toei we're talking about here.

Reminder: A villain's #1 job is to make you hate them.

If you think Skearhead is the worst villain ever in Precure, that makes him by default the best villain. Contrarily, whatever villain you actually like the most is by default the worst villain because they failed to make you hate them.

Doki is the last season to trick /pc/ to an extreme extent. A ton of people thought Regina would be the midseason, and it's kind of impossible to guess that Regina, Aguri, and Ai-chan are parts of the Marie Ange without assuming that the frozen body was an illusion all along. That's the closest the franchise has gotten to straight up lying to the viewer.

The best bad guy in HS was the farty pig because he made the first episode really funny. There was nothing else interesting among the bad guys, and in fact most of the time the story spent on them felt like a downgrade from the better part of the episode, because HS was good when it focused more on the good guys who were more interesting and got more focus.

Even boredom is a negative emotion, so someone bored of a villain actually hates them. The only emotion that's neutral is indifference, and despite how much people pretend otherwise, everyone has an opinion of Skearhead which is mostly negative.

Giant snake pillow sounds comfy. Instead of buying merch for Wonderful's bad guys I just donated to the wolf preserve in my state, but if there was anything for Zakuro I probably would have bought it if I saw it while the show was airing. But those bad guys didn't even appear at all until more than halfway into the show, so I doubt they were marketed very heavily.
>>
>>286178812
I feel like if Skearhead was in a different anime, he would have been used a lot better. He feels like the kind of villain that could rip your guts out and laugh while doing so. Being in a show for little girls really hampered what he could actually do.

Dairuizen is good but that anon's logic is flawed and he keeps replying to himself for some reason. The real job of a villain is for the hero to overcome them. They are supposed to embody opposite ideals of them, that challenge the hero's preconceived notions and lets them grow. Daruizien challenged Nodoka's assumption that she should always help people and she learned that she should always help people but not at her own expense. Because of that, Dairuizen is a good villain.

>The real job of a villain is for the hero to overcome them.
No, the real job of a villain is to act as a dark mirror of the protagonist. The more likeable the protagonist, the more unlikeable the villain should be. If you like the protagonist as much as the villain, either the show isn't doing a good job at showing them as opposites or you're a flip flopper.

That's only one type of villain you could portray. Also having a likable villain doesn't mean you fail at other things. Lots of prior villain cures were liked while they were still villains, like Twilight and Eas.

Manatsu is more clearly a rainbow than Ciel (who is very teal) and Yuni (who's extremely blue) at least. Maybe I would have pegged her for a white Cure if no one told me she was rainbow though.

I wonder if Cure Arcana Shadow's toy releasing in April is indicative of when she first transforms in show as an enemy or when she joins the team? I think it's the former.

I feel like they were trying to combine their Chiikawa money with their Precure money by basically making Chiikawa with Precure characters, but I don’t think they get why people like Chiikawa or Precure mascots.

Yaoi looks better with her new hair color. Please change it back.
>>
>>286183419
I prefer the current pink-haired Laura compared to the proto blue-haired hair whose overall design looks drab and doesn't reflect Laura's sassy pants personality. I like the idea of multicolored scales on La Mer's skirt on the left being the star of the show, but that might be too colorful, as a princess she needs to maintain an appearance of elegance and regal-ness.

Proto-Summer's hair color is way too dull and brings more attention towards her brighter outfit, together the hair color and outfit doesn't shine and doesn't have MC energy like how current Summer looks, I'm glad we got the current Summer design. I also don't like the twintails braid design on the top right as it looks too symmetrical and rigid, and doesn't reflect the burst of energy and enthusiasm current Summer's hair displays. The two civ designs on the right have country bumpkin energy; I wouldn't mind them, but the bright green shorts current Manatsu have is still the right choice for similar reasons.

>>286183604
For Coral, the current design with one big ribbon on the hat, shorter socks and no sleeves is much cuter, while Papaya's current design stands out much more than the simple proto-design on the bottom left. Proto-Flamingo's design is too simple and not as grand as the current Flamingo we have. All three Cure (top right), civ and school uniform versions of proto-Asuka look more rebellious, as if they wanted to make her more of a sukeban initially, though school uniform proto-Asuka gave me formal, polite vibes at first before I realize long skirts are typically associated with sukeban. Current Kururun is definitely cuter than the proto-designs.

The fact that Mikuru is pink got me thinking.
Basically, it means she was supposed to be the main character? But if she was the main character in the original time-line, the fact that Pochitan had to change the timeline by fetching new protagonist probably means that she failed?
If so, the seemingly ordinary mother we saw in episode 1 would be carrying some unbelievable trauma. It also means that Usonoir isn't planning on ending the world, because in the timeline Anna is from, he won and the world still remains. Maybe he took mercy on Mikuru and soaked her in lies, giving her a new fake name and fake past so she wouldn't have to live with the failure of failing to stop Phantom?
Which makes me wonder how closely the new timeline with Anna in 1999 will match the original timeline. I expect there will come a time when Anna's support for Mikuru will make all the difference, where the timelines will clearly diverge and the Cures will start winning.
>>
>>286188008
It's suspect if Mikuru became a detective precure in the original timeline at all since Anna helped her so much in becoming one

>>286188040
Even without Anna, she was trying really hard to become a detective Precure. It's obviously possible that she didn't succeed on her own, but it'd be pretty depressing.
I wonder if she gets bullied in school for wearing her detective outfit?

They may be little but they're still girls. They draw with 20 crayons.
Teal is a relatively basic bitch color, top 10 for sure.

It's not that deep.
The interview said that they wanted a purple cure, who is usually the second coolest and smartest after the blue, as the protagonist for the detective mystery season, and her partner would be a traditional stereotypical pink to balance things out.

That's just the OOC explanation. They could still weave it into the story somehow.

A key purple trait is that they initially appear cool, but turn out to be a huge dorkus

Not to mention the universal translator gummies. Are they trying to give little girls diabetes?

During that scene, I was fully expecting Jett-senpai to start speaking English with the foreigner, seeing as he came from London.
He was acting all smug, but instead of speaking English like a normal human being, he pulled some fairy magic. Makes me wonder if he even speaks English, or did he just eat gummies every 5 minutes while staying in London?
I guess the scene served as an OK introduction to the detective tools they'll have. It's certainly left more of an impression on me than the walkie talkie.

Japanese people live an active lifestyle (such as walking for commuting) which cancels out the surprisingly unhealthy food they consume

What if in addition to being manhandled into the outfit by the maids she also got hypnotized into a prim and prissy ojou-sama
What if when the others try to save her they also got hypnotized into fellow ojou-samas
Haha................
