Personally speaking, I'd say Hirogaru Sky is the start of the "modern" era since the franchise has been on the experimental side since then compared to most other post-HaCha seasons at least. I don't think GoPri is wrong though if you want to go that far back.

Maybe, I do think if they're bound to make more 50 seasons or whatever they're going to need to approach more outlandish themes little by little.
Hell, detective is definitively something that they wouldn't have done circa 2016 when they still had a lot of girly themes.

Detective is definitely "Where were they going with this" kind of like LuPat. Which is: It had a very strong starting concept but there's no way they could keep this theme up for 40 episodes. They're already starting to slip on the Detective theme and we're only halfway through.

They'll probably start reusing main themes at some point. I'll be surprised if they keep it up past the 30th anniversary. There's technically some overlap already with desserts (Kira) and food in general (DP) though I would say those are still distinct enough themes. There are also times where a season's subtheme matches a different season's main theme (Like Fresh having card suites as an obvious subtheme but Doki having that as a main theme).

Star Detective has more than enough episodic and overarching mysteries to justify being called a detective season. Seasons not really adhering to their theme is more of an early season problem anyways (like Smile not having much to do with fairy tales, opting instead to be more or less random).

Why you think that?
>>
>>290209985
>Interviewer: I see (laughs). With things like the reason Anna Akechi time-slipped to 1999, it really is a show where the characters themselves hold a lot of mysteries.

>Murayama: That is intentional. Star Detective Precure! has several layers to it. The main target of 3 to 6-year-old kids can enjoy the cuteness and prettiness of the Precure. Slightly older kids in early to middle elementary school can enjoy the mystery-solving. And then the parents watching with them can enjoy the bigger mysteries like, “Why did Anna come to the past?” or “What is Cure Arcana Shadow’s goal?” or “Who is Cure Eclair?” We consciously created points of interest for every generation to enjoy.

Seems like the characters are more focused on the episodic mysteries presented on front of them because that's very accessible to kids or anyone picking up the show, meanwhile the long-term mysteries are easier for adults and dedicated fans to follow, in a way they're more meta because the characters aren't constantly seeking them (with exception of like the candidate arc, or a few eps like that one that they sent a letter to London, etc) and that's by design to make the show easier to pick up, which when you stop to think about it, that's Precure in general.

Splash Star has an entirely different main theme from FW even if its characters look like Nagisa 2.0 and Honoka 2.0. GoGo had a fairy tale focused general, but GoGo itself wasn't really fairy tale focused as a whole. Smile copies Yes 5 to some extent, but not its theme.

Ok answer the fucking question instead of crying your autistic little eyes out. This isn't any different from any other conflict they have any other season. This has nothing to do with detectives. Last season we had the mystery of Meroron's promise.

I don't even remember Kirakira. What I do remember is every thread someone upsets a brittle little autist and he fills his diaper with "Fuck off, retard, I'll shoot you, how dare you make me feel upset" and that's been his contribution for the last 10+ years.

There are more overlapping mysteries and moving pieces at once, which is more fun to discuss.
That's why Meitantei has so many batshit crazy theories that don't even feel out of place, compared to say, HS where a lot of theories were obviously bullshit because the show was simply that empty.

I think the overarching mysteries that popped up after Cure Eclair's identity was revealed have been pretty fun like "What is Luluka's motivation for beating Eclair?", "Where did Anna get her jewel?", and "Why is Mikuru so quiet about her connection to Mafuru?".

It's not even the white designs, it's that she looks like a cake decorated with tacky dollar store sugar decorations. White as a design doesn't look bad, it looks bad when it's paired with something that doesn't complement or is so busy that the simplicity of white is buried.

The Pretty Rhythm series started with grounded clothing, Pripara started getting flashier, especially with the Cyalume Change outfits (in Precure terms it would be the "finisher" since it only appears at the end of a song).
I don't like the state of the franchise nowadays, but those first 7 years (3 Pretty Rhythm seasons and 4 Pripara seasons) were a top-tier run. I still recommend.

I didn't believe you so I had to look further... damn.
Times are changing, Ultraman stopped being year-long, One Piece stopped being year-long, Super Sentai stopped being year-long (the timeslot went to Project Red that now has half-year long seasons)... Kamen Rider, Precure and Conan are becoming one of the last bastions of the format, and even then Conan has so many fillers now that it's unwatchable without a canon episode guide.

imo part of the appeal of kid's shows is having such a big episode count that they can insert a lot of episodic stories to let you get attached to the characters.
I think Precure/Kamen Rider/etc could easily work with 3 cours (36 eps), but 24 just feels so short. I guess Pokemon has the advantage of having multiple years per generation, so it still could hit like 50-75 eps or so.

Just stop to imagine for a sec a Precure season with 5 Cures fighting for screentime in just 24 episodes. It would be very hard to make it work.

Starzz Defective is putting Precure deep back in the danger zone. With increasing production costs year after year it's not sustainable to have flopping seasons like that.

It's kind of obvious she's turning white before the movie. My guess is episode 31. Whether or not the Shadow form appearing in the movie means she can form change or not though is anyone's guess.

The problem with Star Detective was the huge gap between between Arcana's debut and Eclair's debut with just nothing big there, toy-wise. It really needed one extra Cure in the 10s toywise.

>>
>>290214405
True.
>>
Lately, the recent Precure series feel like they're full of kinda meh content...

HiroPre -> Huge mistake making a guy with barely any main episodes and lackluster action into a Precure. Would've been way better if he'd just stayed as Gummy Bird. Plus, the final boss's handling was meh too.
WanPre ->The cat crew basically stole the spotlight from the main cast. Sealing away the hand-to-hand combat killed the catharsis.
KimiPre -> Blatant pushing of the male characters. Culprit Prurun, that annoying-as-hell Meroron just piles on the stress. The red idol's awful treatment.
TanPre -> The protagonist duo's total non-entities. The blatant padding with the Éclair arc. Éclair's so overpowered it's like, why not just let her handle everything solo? The mysteries that stay stubbornly unclear while piling up more and more are getting on my nerves.

>Interviewer: You have been involved with the series since Futari wa Precure: SplashStar. What do you think makes Precure unique compared to other shows?

>Murayama: I think it changes depending on the era. For example, Maho Girls Precure! was a series where we didn’t do any of the complex mysteries or foreshadowing that you see in Star Detective Precure!. Leading up to that year, the target age for the series had slowly been creeping up, and we worried that the really little kids might be having a hard time following along. So the policy was to hit the reset button. The concept was to make it episodic, keep the story bright and fun, and return to a show that small kids could purely enjoy.

Because they basically confirmed that the Doki-GoPri era was the show starting to target older younger girls (either by accident or intentionally so), but with Maho they backtracked a bit.

Delicious Party at least had something going on. The human fairy companions did wonders for making people remember the season, because they had more character episodes to compensate.

I kind of feel bad if anyone's first exposure to yuri is whatever Kurea and Luluka have going on. Yukari/Akira and Purirun/Meroron are pretty unhealthy, but it's not too hard to find something similar if you delve into actual yuri. Something unhealthy to the level of Kurea/Luluka is a lot more niche outside of that one show or are only similarly twisted because of a different taboo reason (like incest, pedophilia, and such).

DP is the rare case that the Cure screentime balance is actually balanced, but it being balanced is proof that it doesn't make a show perfect.
People can nitpick certain seasons for X or Y Cure getting the short end of the stick, but fact is, even a show with a flawled screentime balance can be really strong in other areas to compensate.

Eclipse is just a form to represent the final battle/climax.
Twilight had something similar but it's not as pretty.

I could see them being vague about the final boss's true identity and maybe even what Anna's deal is until the last 5 episodes (which would all be January episodes). I hope Mikuru at least stops being secretive about why she knows what she knows soon after the team unlocks the group attack.

>>290215577
I really don't mind what they did with her gaogao form, it was actually a good moment for her and Iroha. But if the other alternative to keep the episode going was that boring ass fight with a bat then they should have done more with this idea.

Based on what they're suggesting lately Arcana Shadow is aready a super mode of Arcana with the power of darkness. I guess this new form will be her fully giving herself in to darkness before she's brought back to light.

Arcana Shadow is a half assed half fallen form if anything and that's why she doesn't have a finisher.

She doesn't have a finisher because what is she going to finish? The monsters? She has no reason to destroy them in this part of the plot. The Cures? Well they can't be "finished" can they?

You guys have to remember the target audience is 4 year olds, they literally sell precure branded diapers.

desu, this whole season feels like the worst of all worlds
>try to appeal to older komodo/big friend audience with mysteries
>can't make the mysteries too complex
>try something novel with an "enemy" cure since noble phantom thief is legible within the genre convention of detective pulp (esp in JP)
>Forced to continually leaven the conflict to avoid making viewers miserable, resulting in a rushed arc and sawtooth tone

Arcana Shadow is especially bad because the writing isn't even wrong, a 15-16 with a narrow support network, strong reasoning, incomplete information and weak emotional skills would probably make many of the same mistakes Arcana actually does, she tries to bank against externalities while failing to fully account for the externalities of her own actions, so her reasoning becomes pure in abstract and brittle in reality.

It's a good set up for conflict space and Kurea/Luluka having a shallow relationship isn't itself a flaw either if it's specifically leveraged as a plot point but proper execution and pathos needs more stable pacing that isn't interrupted for >5 minutes of magical girl stock footage. I think it's really telling that the Hanninda have been literally scaled down in power for the last two months because there's simply no time to have a MOTW fight and also a mystery and also develop Luluka (and later Kurea).

idk, it just feels like the writers wanted to write for a general/marginally older audience and produce something tonally, in the vein of CCS but can't fully commit. Like, I can imagine and 8 year old really liking Arcana Shadow but I think for a toddler, precure fighting and then Arcana getting even more edgy is probably just a bit scary.

There are no branded diapers but there are pantsu which is maybe what he mistook them with. Or maybe he's referring to disposable underwear you could get in convenient stores (which on the packaging also says are not diapers). There are Precure fabric I think, which you could sew into cloth diapers, but no there are no disposable diapers.

I wonder how exactly they are going to fix Luluka in 2 episodes.

At the very least, I can't see Kurea fixing Luluka by herself since there's definitely some reason Luluka is so driven to defeat Eclair.

Yeah, I would say it's required viewer since I kinda remember Lala having a lack of episodes in cour 3, so basically the movie acts as the "Lala focus episode" if you squint enough.
Like obviously both Hikaru and Lala bond with the alien, but Lala starts with the wrong foot so we get to see more bonding between them.

Mafuru talks about the precure and what they do and the camera pans over their faces when she says "Children who have nobody to rely on".
All in all, it's a strange set up. Kurea hasnt seemed to have mentioned school a single time. She's just mentioned the patisserie and detective work. Two girls travel across the world just to stop usonoir from stealing big jewel.
I mean some cures dont mention their parents at all and one can have a missing parent (Himari in kira or Hinata with her mom) but it doesnt mean they are dead or anything. But Kurea and Luluka's situation is just too strange. And it's probably why it's the only thing Luluka has on her mind right now. Her bond with Kurea is the most familial thing she has right now. Not necessarily gay. Also context clues in the episode do indicate Mafuru is the Kobayashi grandma despite the new hair: Mikuru's reaction, similar hair/hat to Anna, bad at drawing, Kurea's exposition within the episode had her use the same design from Mikuru's flashbacks.

That's what the story said at least. Kurea and Luluka knew Japanese so well.

I thought that but I'd figure that they would have come out and said it if they were orphans.

I'm going to see if I can buy precure merch today. A tour guide yesterday, a more casual one, was bitching to me how Japan is fucked population wise at the moment and he's pissed at his son for getting a vasectomy after having only one kid. I wonder if she watches precure.

Makes me wonder how long we will have stuff like Precure or kids programming there but I'm sure he was just having a bad week.

That was weird moment.

They're probably waiting for Mikuru's arc so they can drop the whole "oh we have dead parents too" btw

>SD since the start had a very blatant theme about about how important the bond mothers have with with their kids are
If that's the case then why haven't any moms shown up?

The dude sounds a bit nuts so I wouldn't worry about it.

For the cures? Because they are all dead. But in the earlier cases pre episode 15 there were a lot of "this tiara was from my mother. this painting was from my mother. my mother took my cat to the salon. my mother bought me this stuffed rabbit". Stuff like that.

The idea of him screaming "THE FUCK WAS THAT" right in front of frowning mipple makes me laugh

The population does seem relatively older compared to an American cities so far. Also some girls do dress like anime girls here and they cant pull it off. Saw someone dressed in a Luluka-like black dress but she was a bit too chunky for it.

If that's true then why would they have a theme about moms and the bond they have with their kids if the Cure's mothers are all dead? It's kind of rubbing it in their face, isn't it?
