Tell me, why is this girl so clingy?
>>
>>290831049
Parental (nonexistent) issues
>>
>>290831049
She isn't.
>>
>>290831049
Years of distant Ojiis ignoring her real emotional needs.
>>
>>290831049
Simple. She is an orphan (why the show hasnt revealed it yet, who knows) and essentially imprinted a familial relationship on Kurea. You know how the VAs couldnt find a word for their relationship? Sisters, friends, rival, family? Yeah, Luluka is actually Kurea's dog at this point. A dog with separation anxiety. Kurea even thought she was a fucking loser hanging around chuchu all day. Probably relieved when she left at the end of the episode.

The wonderfuls always hugging enemies in crossovers doesn't imply that the other Cures are rude for solving their problems with muscles?
It keeps consistent with the characterization in Wonderful but in that season the monsters were magical animals transformed, the same isn't true for those crossover movie grunts.

I'd just keep building on the first arc where Anna and Mikuru bumble into adventures while building on their relationship and keep Luluka to the sidelines until the big climax moment in the late season when Anna helps her get over Eclair.

I like to think if Luluka was forced to spend more time teaching and teasing her adorable kouhais she'd have to compromise when they grew on her.

The time travel is fine. Besides the focus issue, my main issue is that Kurea still doesn't really feel like a character.

Better be Luluka's accessory than be Rei that only brings filler.

She works as Luluka's girlfriend. That's the problem. Even in framing shots they put Luluka >>290831346 as the lead, Anna/Mikuru as secondary characters, and Kurea as the tertiary character. Because that's her role as a tertiary character, to be Luluka's girlfriend and inspire conflict in Luluka when she was threatened.

What Im confused about is that Top of Lily is its own importance in the universe, shouldn't all the cures be themed after it? Anna and Mikuru got birds or some shit. And yeah it's a lily because Murayama wanted to yurifag but they explain in show it's about bond between fairy and person so shouldn't Anna and Mikuru have some of that symbolism with them? Also the lack of curiosity behind Anna being a time traveler from Decchi in general. But yeah there are lots of moving parts.

The most prominent Cure in the original FW and especially in MH
>Meroron
Arguably the most memorable Cure in Idol in one way or another, hijacked the show soon after she entered, and still had a large (and arguably outright evil) presence even after she stopped being the main focus
>Luluka
Similar to Meroron in how she's the most memorable Cure but entered the show earlier and the fact that the season is plot focused means that her being in a big focal point in the large bulk of episodes 11-35 is even more noticeable
Inb4 we get a black lead for next season and she's somehow Mana-tier when it comes to screentime

>>
>>290833251
The next season starts getting planned like 3/4-ish months into the [current season], so it's fair to say that next season got planned while Arcana Shadow was going turbo viral. This might have affected the optics of the next show which is why there are rumors about it being a youkai/halloween-themed season, it's the perfect excuse to have some black in the designs and making it kinda ghotic lolita.

The ST producer said the show was a "3 years project", it starts the year before, then there's the actual year that the show airs, and then there's the tail end of the show + extra stuff like kanshansai the year after.
I think Toei can do it that short because all the groundwork is already laid out.

The kanshansai starts right after a season ends, it wouldn't take a whole year.

We all hate it but almost everything in idol was popular with the target demo.

Meroron was liked because she was a cute plushie and also funny.
Purirun was retarded and cute.
Kaito was probably a sexual awakening for a bunch of little girls.

Futari Wa for example was all produced in just like 5 months or so, which is why we have those prototype designs from Setember 2003 or something like that, which is crazy fast and they probably had to crunch, but it still got done.

He had a whole 2 relationships with Uta and Kazuma.
Kurea is still nothing but Luluka's girlfriend and she's supposed to be a main Cure instead of a one episode wonder.

Everything is just math for you, "X had more in this category so it's better".
Still never cared about Kaito, the whole thing is missing the secret recipe of actually being a MAIN cure, I hate when they focus so hard on a side character like how the DP males became the heart of the endgame in DP. Making it about the Cures (girls) is always better on my book.

It's funny, I never really thought that adding too many Cures in a season would have a negative effect but Meroron and Kurea are making me rethink that.
>>
>>290834638
Smart
>>
>>290834869
Doesn't really have to do with anything. It's just a writing problem, Smile had 5 cures and even Suite did it just fine with late additions.
>>
>>290834869
Okay then, tell me how SD is supposed to work without Kurea? so it's just Luluka grumpily babysitting the two stooges?

>>290834907
I think they shot themselves in the foot by making the Eclair arc so damn late, episodic stuff is fine but we had way too much, now the show suddenly pivoted in a plot heavy format that its so jarring. The reason Kurea suffers is because aside from episode 17 she had no breathing room, everything she does is because of plot (Luluka and the prophecy). They can probably try and salvage it with the next episodes, but Anna and Mikuru needs them too.

Maybe. I'm just a little surprised since the writer has lots of experience with Precure already.

I'm not a writer but changing Luluka's motivation to something else shouldn't be the hardest thing. Remember all the theories that people were coming up with before the Eclair candidate arc started?

It's incredible how anons constantly forget cure focus is never fair

>>290834961
>The reason Kurea suffers is because aside from episode 17 she had no breathing room
The problem is that she had too much breathing room until the Eclair arc started. She was the least focused on of the candidates because they knew they couldn't give her any and that hurt her because the other candidates ended up being more interesting.
>>
>>290835052
I'm not like the anon who flat out ignores everything Kurea has then gas up others in favor. But I think throwing her right in the middle where the plot is in the forefront coupled with Luluka being the center piece really kind of fucked her over (Notice how Kurea's arc was still about Luluka's mystery) . I'm just hoping we get easygoing episodes where the team finally gets to just relax and bond, detached from the prophecy shit.
>>
>>290835187
She really didn't. I think her episode with Anna was great, the writers just refused to give her any episodes that solely focused on her. I remember waiting for Episode 17 wanting to learn about Kurea but it turned out to be an Anna episode.

I think they kinda tried, like giving her self confidence problems whenever it comes to deductions to the point that Grandma and Luluka had to always reassure her, also her being very loyal to people who acknowledge her, but other than that I think they couldve added more.

Smile and Yes 5 are more or less a demonstration that the only way you can avoid moderate to severe screentime balance issues with 5 Cures is if you don't focus much on the overarching plot at all. The fewer Cures there are, the easier it is to balance screentime.
Suite does have issues with Kanade and tends to focus mostly on the new Cure after she debuts. It's not as big of an issue if you're marathoning the season, but there would be a lot of "Why is Suite the Cure X show now?" if it aired nowadays.
In any case, if the show does focus hard enough on Mikuru and Anna in the last third or so, I think the bulk of screentime complaints would disappear in 2-3 years. It's definitely weird to have a season where it feels like every Cure's screentime and development is backloaded except for maybe Luluka, but it is what it is.

I think it's silly that you don't think that it's possible for more than one anon to think that. I don't think it's too much to say that Kurea had the weakest episodes because they couldn't afford to go too deeply into her character.

It was getting obvious when he started glazing Kaito to shit on Kurea out of nowhere. Actually just trying to be contrarian.

It kind of goes without saying that the more plot focused a season is, the harder it is to balance all of the character screentime because some characters are innately more tied to the plot and various plot twists than others.
Doki is the most extreme example of this, and even Hugtto and ST, which are much better about character balance, still have obvious bias. I'll rate SD on character balance once its done; I'll be pretty satisfied if the bulk of 36-51 end up Anna and Mikuru focused to catch up with the Luluka and Kurea bonus (with two or three Luluka/Kurea episodes mixed in just to show they aren't completely forgotten)
>>290835228
I'm kind of glad that Precure has been willing to play around with the formula more as of late (even if I think Wonderful veered too hard into the SoL focus).
>>
The problem is and will always be five/six fucking minutes of stock every fucking episode not leaving any space for fucking anything.

>>290835413
He's implying that she was born with it.
If the eye pattern is not a result of the Top of Lily "injecting" the pattern into Kurea... and the eye pattern is naturally born in certain fairies... then Kurea is a fairy.

mhmm It's why i kinda dont judge it too harshly until it's done. Because the plot of the mystery season isn't even halfway revealed yet.
>>
>>290835434

Impossible unless she has amnesia twice. They also said in an interview that fairies can only have human forms if they are really old, didn't they?
>>
>>290835431
There's probably production problems so they're compensating with footage.
You have to remember that 50 episodes anime series are becoming very rare, like even One Piece dropped the format recently.
Don't be surprised that we could look back at this as the first signs of a change in format, Toei could cut Precure from 50 eps to 25 eps or something one day.
>>
>>290835401
>>290835434
Eh, saying that he's implying that she was "born with it" is a leap of faith, and even if that was the implication, maybe Kurea's is artificially induced by the lily whereas the one who was born with it ends up being Anna. There's a lot of directions the season can still go, so much so that it doesn't feel like there's less than 20 episodes remaining.
>>

I hope they’re even longer next season to filter the casuals.

>>290835461
No.

>>290835457
That's where the orphan theory enters.
If Kurea is an orphan that doesn't know her true origins, then she could be a fairy without knowing. As for the reason that she can transform without being old, it could be because of a royal blood line because why not, Precure has prince/princesses fairies since Mepple and Mipple in Futari Wa.

Toei cannot allow themselves to do that with Precure because that would mean letting their iron grip on the magical girl market go loose. Even going 2 cours would mean there's half a year empty now for competitors to pounce on.
It's a very different situation from things like shounenshit of which there's plenty going around and have a lot of other avenues keeping them going while waiting and well the actual manga as the original source.
They can afford to lose Sentai because Rider was making all the moneys anyway. They cannot afford to lose the little girl market even the slightest.
I personally don't see it happening.

How old? The first 6 seasons had generals outright die (even if it was a lot less by the time of Fresh), HC was more dramatic than usual due to the VotW focus, and Suite's probably the first season that started giving substantial focus on the overarching plot. I guess there's Smile, but that's not very similar to Wonderful.

WP did have death scenes, or more like "passing away' scenes.

>>290835517
I could see it happening, but it'll be at the point where any potential competitors wouldn't even try because the little girl market is just that dead. Most if not all of the other little girl franchises would be dead or outright have become non-little girl franchises before Precure becomes 2 cour instead of 4 cour

Phantom are specifically distinct from normal fairies, so the same could be the case for Kurea.
>>290835599
There was a third race revealed to have existed after the anime already introduced both humans and fairies. It's hard to blame anon for sounding a bit schizo.
>>
>>290835550
Ironically Wonderful was the season to deal with death the most since Hugtto despite having no fight scenes, it's a nice juxtaposition

The Pretty Rhythm series is still year-long, but if you look at the animation it's almost like a visual novel now, it's so boring to look at compared to Precure...
At least the early era with Pretty Rhythm and Pripara were top-tier little girl anime content.

Aipri was the worst thing to happen to the franchise, I'd rather it stayed dead than be the zombie corpse of talking heads and powerpoint presentations with AI generated music that the franchise is now.
It's not like Aurora Dream to Pripara had constantly great animation but at least they were visually interesting most of times. Aipri is literal mush pigfees slop for babies.

Both Yui and the main bad guy ended up deeply affected by the deaths of their loved ones. Yui in a somewhat positive (if still sad way) whereas the main villain spiraled out of control. It feels more personal than wolf genocide, especially on the Cure side of things.
