Kill Eclair. Behead Eclair. Roundhouse kick Eclair into the concrete. Slam dunk Shushutan into the trash can. Stick nails in filthy Eclair. Shoot Eclair repeatedly. Stir fry Eclair in a wok. Toss Eclair into an active volcano. Urinate on Eclair's dying face. Judo throw Eclair into a woodchipper. Twist Eclair's head off. Report Eclair to Japan's border patrol. Karate chop Eclair in half. Curb stomp Eclair. Trap Eclair in quicksand. Crush Eclair in the trash compactor. Liquefy Eclair in a vat of acid. Eat Eclair. Dissect Eclair. Exterminate Eclair in the gas chamber. Stomp Eclair's skull with steel boots. Cremate Eclair in the oven. Re-Lobotomize Eclair. Mandatory abortions for Eclair. Grind Eclair in the garbage disposal. Drown Eclair in a lake. Vaporize Eclair with Arcana Star Rain. Kick Eclair down the stairs. Feed Eclair to alligators. Slice Eclair with a scythe.

Ok Precurebros we may have it rough but we don't have it as bad as Kamen Rider chuds having their final battle be a retread of the exact same battle they had several weeks ago. This has made me more optimistic about this season.

Is Luluka feminine?

How is being white going to help at saving the world? It's not like she's going to beat Eclair with her weak ass white form, is it going to be like 'yeah I don't care about the world being destroyed by daiou Kurea anymore I just want to have lesbian sex' because that's all I'm seeing from her turning white.

>>290354930
Stop trying to beat Kurea means stop trying to save the world.
There's literally no way to make Luluka look good at this point, either she's abandoning the world for lesbian sex or her thinking that Kurea is daiou was just a misunderstanding, she'll look dumb either way.

The plot twist is that Luluka is a genuinely bad girl and not a sympathetic antagonist with noble motives. She just wants to kill Kurea because she holds a grudge since she thinks the grandma liked Kurea more than her.

Not gonna lie, as much as mid-season SD shits the bed with how it treats Anna and Mikuru, it is still not as bad as Star Twinkle with how much focus episodes they give to Madoka, Elena and Yuni.

Let's be honest, the only reason Dark Sky or Eclipse Shadow exists is to appeal to big friends and get a bunch of fanart. Little girls are not the target audience of these edgy dark forms.
>>
>>290355218
ok but not really it's worse than that she just belieces Kurea is the demon lord because people forgot how to write
>>
>>290355082
The theme of the show is truth and lies and to incentivize kids to think for themselves.

My take is that Luluka's arc is supposed to be a parallel to a kid blindly believing a falsehood on the internet and acting upon that information with their body and soul.
It is for all intents and purposes, a cautionary tale.
>>
So this was the episode that made Kurea's VA cry?
>>
>>290355267
But I want little girls to wear those costumes...

Probably next week.
>>
>>
>>290355203
Hmm true
>>
>>290355255
Sorry, but are you genuinely complaining about Lala's lack of focus in ST? She had the whole Samaan trip arc, one of the best episodes in the show with the bullying and Madoka's dad being an asshole, and the fucking movie.

read that post again slowly
>>
>>290355218
I remember that that's how they wrote a villain in Kamen Rider Ryuki, at first they give you an impression that he might have a sympathetic backstory... but nope, dude is full psycho evil.
>>
Precure episodes fuck you up more than adult anime episodes, how do kid survive this

Luluka is a parable about disinformation?

>>290355163
I can see it happening because Anna+Mikuru aren't in the book so technically the book is already wrong, Luluka will look dumb too in that case because she's all about MUH PREDICTION but how is she not noticing something so obvious?
>>290355173
>>290355280
I don't mind characters making mistakes, but in other well written shows, they make it convincing, it can't be helped that there's a misunderstanding and you sympathize with the character, not in this case though. If her brain is at Komugi level then sure but Luluka is supposed to be LE YOUNG GENIUS MEITANTEI FROM LONDON

>>290355314
Yes dammit, excluding the movie in argument for the TV run, Lala deserved more focus episodes. Samaan was indeed a great count and her school debut was a hit, but a lot of the show's direction leaned towards the other three, especially Yuni. Movie definitely delivers, yet it reminds us what could have been if the show had more of those Hikaru-Lala adventures like in the beginning.

They probably made a rule that Eclair can only hit Arcana Shadow's rod, she also got defeated by a kick on the rod in ep28, the sequence shows Eclair doing the "hand sword" attack > It's so strong that the rod almost goes out of Arcana's hand and she tries to assume defense position again > Because she still hasn't recovered from the previous attack, Eclair's kick pushes the rod against Arcana's own body (it feels like she got hit by her own rod).

But it's just the framing, because at end of the day it's still a kick on the rod.

But it could throw all of this away if the show instead reveals they're both married to men with kids of their own.

I hate this kind of DBZ shounen thinking, stories have a place to show characters being pathetic, it can highlight how desperate they're to accomplish their objectives.
Not like it hasn't been done before in Precure either. It's why the redeemed Cures arcs can get so emotional.

mmm Iroha didnt say love. No reciprocation.

Iroha will not reciprocate.

They will not become boyfriend and girlfriend.

The MOST (again, the MOST) you will get is an additional tiny tease in the last episode, similar to Iona's case. That's it. The synopsis clearly states that Satoru wimps out and tells Iroha to forget about it. They are going back to friends, status quo. Also CLEARLY they are misdirecting with the title of the next episode. It's "with everyone" you dumbasses, みんなで. Not that 99% of you here would be able to read that. If Toei was going to do something as groundbreaking as a first official relationship, they would not obviously spoil it like this TWO FUCKING WEEKS in advance. It is obviously nothing more than comic relief. Iroha REJECTS him, so as a "consolation prize" probably Mayu convinces all of them to go on a "group date". You can OBVIOUSLY SEE that Komugi and Meemee are there in the picture too. Mayu and Yuki are there with them too. It's a "group date" thing, AKA no different than any of their many outings of the course of the last 35 episodes. Anyone who thinks otherwise is honestly in for a rude awakening in 11 hours. I will be here, asking for much deserved apologies from the rest of you.

They will not become boyfriend and girlfriend.

Iroha will not reciprocate.

True, and when we get a season like DP which has perfect screentime, what happens?

Oh, the show is not perfect after all.
Honestly screentime has little bearing in how memorable or good a show is, every Precure season is flawled, and I can overlook flaws when they're presenting something that balances out.

Luluka doesn't seem desperate to me, in fact, from what I've seen in ~30 episodes, she hasn't been trying hard enough. It's totally different from a character who tried their hardest but still failed.
She could've beat up Anna and Mikuru anytime, take Makoto Jewel from them and give it to Usonoir to trade back Kurea's jewel and crush it, but she didn't. It would've lead to bad end because Arcana jobber+2 newbie cures can't beat dog Usonoir but still.

Because Eas would blindly believe Moebius being groomed from birth, but Luluka entered the organization with second intentions like a spy, I don't think she wanted to sacrifice Mikuru and Anna's memories.
It's just conjecture but I think in the first half she was just buying time, and only started to get serious in the 20s, specifically when Kurea started to get involved again in ep22.

ngl, I like the concept but this show feels really half baked and constrained by the format. I'd almost prefer if they'd just stuck to "huggywuggy" since we're at ep 31 with somehow breakneck development for Arcana, no development for Eclair and underdevelopment for Mystique and Answer.

I mean, the hanninda have literally turned into >stock footage "no" >instajobs to stock footage

The development for Kurea is understanding more of her past (ep29) and seeing her break Luluka out of her shell. I think she's already a completed character but since this is a detective show, we're uncovering her layers. The ultimate layer being her possible identity as the KING.
If she has some development, it'll probably have to do with not being a martyr (in case she thinks of using her KING powers for saving the day at her own detriment).

>I mean, the hanninda have literally turned into >stock footage "no" >instajobs to stock footage
An interview has already revealed that when the episode is more main plot-heavy they tone down the episodic mystery and/or hannindas. And I mean, even before that interview we already saw that every time Precure has 2 fights in an episode, one of the fights would end up very short.

Honoka had a lot less focus episodes compared to Nagisa. FW was definitively a show that we saw from "Nagisa's POV".
Yuko in HaCha also got less than ideal, even if she had that one arc taking care of Phantom.

I would be lying if I said yes, but I do like it.
But the Kira movie is pretty much like a giant Smile episode in terms of tone, very fun. The movie director went on to work on Tropical Rouge later, which I would say it's the closest to a "Smile sucessor".

Watching DSP Party was pure bliss.
I've always thought ST Kanshasai was the gold standard for Precure fan events, but this Party was a few magnitudes higher in terms of entertainment and enjoyment.

Shoutout to the Nicovideo audience, the live comments from veteran fans (100% are veterans) were excellent. The audience on-site at Arakawa was great, too bad I could not be part of it.
I've made a big mistake, it's not getting my Dancing Star Light and penlights. But I'll get them for the next and final performance in a few hours.

I love Precure.

How so? Kurea is the evil that will destroy the world, defeating her and destroy her jewel will prevent that.
The thing that doesn't make sense is her turning white, it would make sense if Kurea can't be Eclair anymore so it's 3 cures vs phantom instead of daiou but obviously Eclair is not going anywhere

Back in Hirogaru Sky, the producers told the staff that Dark Sky should be resolved as quickly as she appears so little girls wouldn't cry, so she couldn't appear before the commercial break, or be a cliffhanger for the next episode, which is what led to such an anti-climatic resolution in the B-part of episode 49. Seems like some progress has been made at Toei, even if they've been spoiling for weeks that she will become Cure Arcana Blanca to avoid girls getting worried.

>>290360788
>Luluka's entire motive makes no sense now after what she revealed.
The show has multiple sources of fortune telling and prophecies, Mikuru and Anna are alien existences, sure, but Luluka has no reason to stop believing the book just because they showed up. Ultimately the prophecies are still turning up correct, and Eclair was born again in July again just like the book said.

Ultimately Luluka is wrong, sure, but this is intended to enhance the theme of truth and lies, Luluka has to be wrong about something because it's ultimately a lesson for little girls to not believe everything they see, it's a modern day parable with the internet and outside influences that might affect kids growing up and I think it's fine that way, it's not Death Note where every character needs to be 10 steps ahead, it's still Precure and for the purposes of teaching I lesson, I think it's fine.

>Mikuru and Anna plot is amazing for this season to be considered better than average.
I'm hoping Mikuru's arc is wholesome but honestly, in terms of memorability it's generally mid-season Cure arcs like this that stays on people's mind.
>This seems like a season that will be more fun watched than it is looked back on.

Luluka probably turns back white and stops relying on shadow power because she's either wrong about the identity of the Supreme King (probably not the case since there aren't really any other candidates except meme ones like Pochitan or Rei) or because she's wrong about the nature of the Supreme King (Maybe the Supreme King appears before the world is filled with lies, but that doesn't mean that it's the cause)

The nature of the King being something different is probably the real truth.
Maybe it can be used both for good or evil. Kurea HAS the potential to destroy the world, but she wouldn't do it... unless they mindcontrol her or something, which could be the secret of the final arc with the final boss trying to mind-control Kurea.

Even before joining the Phantom guild Luluka already had Mashutan doing fortune telling for her, and said fortune telling always turned out correct. This is a concept that she naturally accepted over time.
Why is believing a book of prophecy made by Mashutan's ancestors somehow unreasonable? It means that she thinks highly of Mashutan lineage.
Answer and Mystique messing with the script a bit doesn't mean that the whole script was wrong.
>>
>>290361282
Im guessing they have to suck it out of her or something. Idk. They will need Kurea to continue to do finishers after the group attack is unlocked so she can't be ij a mind controlled state for longer than an ep. Waiting for what form/name the final boss will look like. We probably know by ep 40ish

Have you never watched Precure before? It'll be something like Kurea needing to reach out the Luluka who's being consumed by the darkness and along with Mikuru and Anna they declare that instead of breaking Kurea's jewel they can instead all work together to make sure the prophecy never comes true which helps break the control of the darkness. Kurea unleashes her finishing move and the shadow power is purified into light and Cure Arcana is reborn.
You're thinking about this as if it's a battle shounen or seinen instead of a show for little girls.

I'll be surprised if we don't learn what the final boss is by next episode or the one after.
It's possible that Decchi (or someone that's currently dealing with London right now) is the main boss for a while and the actual final boss is hidden until the finale arc in January though. I could see the season hiding the final boss for 17 more episodes as it finishes up the Luluka and Kurea drama and works on Anna and Mikuru.

Yeah this "going against the prophecy" stuff is pretty much intentional.

>Interviewer: Speaking of witches, that definitely brings to mind medieval witch hunts.
>Murayama: Yes, which totally connects to modern-day internet lynchings. Looking at social media recently, I really feel that the line between lies and truth has become incredibly blurry.

>Interviewer: Fake information being accepted as truth and taking on a life of its own is quite dangerous, isn’t it?
>Murayama: I feel that a lot these days. The idea of “don’t be misled by lies, look and think for yourself” is honestly so obvious that it probably wouldn’t have worked as a theme a little while ago. But right now, I felt it was a message we absolutely needed to convey to children through “Precure.”

>Interviewer: In episode 11, when the Makoto Jewel resided in a fake item, Cure Arcana Shadow mockingly said, “Lies aren’t entirely a bad thing,” and Cure Answer completely rejected that. It felt like a perfect symbol of the conflict between truth and lies.
>Murayama: Yes, I was very conscious of that when writing. That was a line only Cure Arcana Shadow could deliver, and this axis of conflict is something that will definitely continue to appear moving forward.

This part comes a bit later in the interview:

>Interviewer: The major key point that shakes up the Phantom Thieves’ side is that Anna and the two Star Detective Precure aren’t mentioned at all in that Tome of Mirages (Book of Future Freedom), right?
>Murayama: Since we’re heavily using the Nostradamus motif, we absolutely had to introduce a book of prophecy. We made it something Usonoir possesses and places his absolute trust in. Then, we set up a cool conflict structure where Anna, who isn’t in the book at all, takes a brave step forward and says, “I will decide my own future without following a prophecy.”

>Interviewer: I also love how you write “Mirai Jiyu” (Future Freedom) but read it out loud as “Mirage” (Illusion).
>Murayama: The little middle-school boy inside me came up with that name (laughs). And he whispered that using the old traditional kanji for “Future” (未來) would look super cool, too (laughs). Essentially, the future is something akin to an illusion, right? Mashutan is the “Fairy of Fortune Telling,” so we tied it directly to her by establishing that the book was written by her ancestor.

NTA but the text for the next episode indicates that Anna and Mikuru tell eclair to not give up, kurea transforms again and gives huggy wuggy to Luluka. Decchi summons giant Haninda, arcana pool purifies it. Then we start the focus episodes where they get their items for the finisher.

The only prediction I have for the end is Mikuru sacrifices her jewel in the end and erasing her precure memories.

That just sound like empty words with nothing to back it up, the prophecy has never been wrong before so why would this makes Luluka think she can go against it? I expect more even if it's from a show for kids, Luluka's determination would seem really weak if she's falling for this level of talk-no-jutsu.

While true that we don't have control over our spawn point, and if you're born in a truly shitty place like Sierra Leone you have no hope, I would say you still have a pretty good control to write your own future.
If you're born in a bad household, you can still succeed, get a family that values you and work in your traumas with a psychologist, etc. You can find an way out even if not in the short-term.

>I have no idea what you tried to say here
That brave step forwards referenced in the interview, that's what I was referring to as hope. It's a kids show, and therefore the message is aimed at them. Kids should believe that they have the freedom to determine their future, is the implication. Now, the problem is that since it's a show for children, there is AN EXTENT to which calling hope appropiate for them implies it's less appropriate for not-them: adults. Same with those puns, a child would find it cool, is said. One has to step out of their current, age-appropiate mindset to cast that out as an adult, so there's a divide. I'm projecting this division in language (puns) into a division in subject (meaning) and I don't think it's unreasonable because they're brought up in the same breath. A child would find these puns funny/cool/meaningful; a child would profit from being exposed to this idea, and so on. Doing this precludes an adult from integrating them (this language, these ideas) to their life in a meaningful capacity because they're already barred from childhood.
But I think they could adress this meaningfully through Mikuru if she is truly the mother. And I do think they're already adressing it with Luluka playing mature and self-serious. The question is where this will go. Must Luluka be a child to believe?
>>
>>290362642
Different audiences. Young child market is much more lucrative than going in after ravenous otaku who are a small minority and who are much more fickle with lots of options. Dancing Star's market cap is so small, dont know if it will make that much instead of finding the silver bullet of retaining kids.

It isnt though. It was in stores readily and available. It only had issues in the beginning probably due to scalpers and otaku wanted one. I think they aren't selling tear arcana rod anymore for the new rod.

You think I don't know that? It was still a really poor decision made due to happenstance and a lack of doing proper market research.

Or just common sense about little girls. One of the first phases girls go through in the first grade to fifth grades is a rebellious phase where they paint their nails black. Toei forgot that Cure Black was supposed to represent those little girls back in the day who were having their little rebellious phase.

Dancing Star is a new phenomenon. It shouldn't be compared too much to the rest of Precure market practices.
It was far from obvious the final event would be sold-out within minutes. There's not enough history to blame anybody really.
Planning a three days fan event could have been a disaster, turns out the capacity was surprisingly well below demand.

This is different to long-term trends where they don't size Precure Live venues properly or continue to play that game of selling stuff at Pretty Store exclusively.

For the newest shortage, if you have more than one brain cell, it's obvious what Bandai is doing. FOMO induction:
https://youtu.be/P5L6rqyzcUA?t=681
There are no reasons for preorders to close this fast for items that are delivered deep into 2027. This is fake hype.
>>
Just like us. But regardless the toy sales for last quarter did surprise me. I assumed the rod sales would bolster a bit. The show is probably too confusing for little girls.

This latest episode where they were just having fun planting flowers for the first half felt really nice and cozy. I feel like we havent had that in a while.

You can still criticize them for making the stupid decision in the first place. Too many people use "They already made this show months ago!!!" as some kind of excuse for the poor foresight and research done. Like Bandai-Namco had no way to research which cures would be popular with merch, which is some real newfaggot mentality.
>>
>>290362818
>>290362751
Bandai does toy research every season, this wasn't an unknown quantity to them. They simply chose to not put as many resources into Precure this season. You can speculate why, but that's just what happens sometimes.
>>
>>290362896
I don't think anyone was expecting Arcana Shadow to blow up like she did, least of all the boomers at Toei. I imagine the story would look very different if they took that into account.

Eclair's "toy" is a perfume and it took a good while to get introduced.
This can't be understimated, because not every mom is going to want to buy a perfume instead of a toy, it's a completely different category and there's probably an upper limit to what a "perfume in the Precure brand" can sell, maybe a limit lower than plastic toys.
I'm genuinely expecting the third quarter to be higher because now the timing is more favorable with Blanca and the other power up toys.

They do market research every season, they had to have an inkling. They just chose not to follow it. That's on them and making fun of them for being out of touch isn't "unfair". It's literally their job to be in tune with market interests.

I notice you didn't quote the post that said anything even to the extent of >>290363002 or even hinted at changing the show right now.

Arcana is fine but she looks unfinished white. This was a shallow decision from Toei or Bandai to make her "Fit in with the group" instead of accepting she was strong as a stand-alone member of the group. The black made her stand out from the cast and that's likely the true reason her merch was doing well.
