>The biggest case in Mikuru's detective career is Anna going back in time and the promise to help Anna return home
>The biggest case in Luluka's detective career is Kurea's true identity being the king and world ending prophecy
I can see why the anime groups Luluka with Mikuru and Kurea with Anna. On the surface it is 4 detectives working together but it is actually 2 pairings working with each other. Narrative wise, Mikuru and Luluka are in the role of detective while Anna and Kurea are both the biggest secrets Mikuru and Luluka need to solve to finish the cases and also happen to be their most important partners while also being the answer/hint to the truth in their hearts. Plot wise, this means Mikuru and Luluka is positioned to be troubled girls with uncertainty in their hearts. In short, "It's destiny, it's love"

Not growing up permanently was the biggest problem.
There were meta reasons, characters like Haa-chan and Komekome had eletronic touchscreen toys, meanwhile Elle-chan was just a plushie toy like Chiffon, Hagtan, etc.
This matters because while you can raise the characters in eletronic toys like tamagotchis, they probably didn't want to make the plushies "outdated". Granted you could argue that Toei finally crossed this like with Arcana Shadow becoming Arcana, but they're compensating with the movie and possibly another transformation in the TV series down the line (just a theory for now).

You need to look up Global Birthrates, that trend is reversing, big time.

This isn't just a Japan problem, this is a worldwide phenomenon. Other countries fight it with immigration, but even the countries people migrate from are having this problem. Effectively, there will eventually be no more market for kids because the next generation will be much smaller.

>most reasonable explanation for stuff in this episode
Mafuru didn't really react to Mikuru because she's aware that Mikuru wants to hide her relation to her for reasons, and Anna somewhat recognized Mafuru because Mafuru resembles her mom (due to being her great grandmother) or she saw an old picture.
>Less plausible but not quite full schizo
Mafuru did not react to Mikuru all that much because she is not her grandmother but rather her grandmother's ex-partner/estranged family member and isn't all that aware of Mikuru's existence despite Mikuru being aware of hers.
Anna recognizes Mafuru instinctively because her mother really is Mafuru or maybe a magic clone.
>full schizo
Mafuru does not remember Mikuru despite being her grandma because her Makoto Jewel was messed with.
Anna recognizes Mafuru instictively because she is outright her reincarnation or born from her Makoto Jewel (Mafuru's jewel is orange, and Anna has orange hair...)
I'm looking forward to see how all of the loose ends are tied up in the next 14 episodes.

Maybe Anna always knew Mikuru was her mom, but yeah, I can't really buy that. Even if she were smart enough to figure out something like that, I can't see her hiding it better than Luluka knowing that Kurea was Cure Eclair right in front of her mom. She doesn't seem good enough at keeping secrets for that.

Not sure if the next season will have enough time to react, I would say in 2028 is more likely but then that's the next anniversary season so I'm not 100% sure that they would want to save a gag/SoL season for that?
Or maybe BECAUSE 2028 is the anniversary season they have decided to go with something gag/SoL-centric for 2027, it helps to balance out the unorthodox VS orthodox.
>>
>>291400217
>This post was google translated
Yours too.
>>
>>291400236
The anniversary seasons tend to be the unorthodox for one reason or another: Fresh (at least compared to the first 5 seasons), HaCha, Hugtto, and Hirogaru Sky (maybe not quite as much as HaCha and Hugtto were, but I'd say the hero theme and the lack of focus on villains make it relatively unorthodox). Wonderful, Idol, and Star Detective have all been relatively unorthodox, so it's possible that the anniversary season will be relatively orthodox to compensate instead. I guess that might depend on if the next season is also relatively unorthodox or not.
>>
>>291400236
I can see a fun anniversary season to kickback and relax with a big climax. Shit, the anniversary season could be a whole crossover of the franchise with the 100th cure being the center of it.

And a tickle tickle for Komugi.
>>
>>291400296
As of this point in Star Detective, there are 91 mainline Cures. The 100th mainline Cure would have to be a midseason of the 25th season unless they save it for the 26th season for some reason. They could, in theory, have 8 cures for next season and then have the 25th season lead be the 100th Cure, but it's generally too difficult to balance that many main characters. Most seasons with at least 5 Cures don't really balance screentime evenly except for Yes 5, and balancing 8 is much harder than that.

they're experimenting more since Tropical Rouge, DP took a pause, and then HS went at it again and they never stopped since then. Ideas and themes are slowly running short, plot points as well, so expect them to make more "unhortodox' seasons in the future to stay afloat, which to me is a good thing but some anons will flip their shit at it because they're traditionalists

2028 anniversary season will either be very experimental, more than what Hirogaru sky was, possibly giving us a special kind of MC (but nothing too far from the usual good girl or else toys won't sell) and setting, or it will be a big celebration and that would be introduced by 2027's themes being birthdays and wishes of all previous seasons like Happiness and Hugtto tried to be, but better, with more references. Or maybe, a soft reboot of the franchise and the original Futari wa. Then we will get a great season (post anniversary seasons never miss) and then maybe some more basic seasons, but still relatively experimental

Precure could do a lot of fun and new stuff with its core formula, but children being its main demographic and fan's attachment to the franchise as it is holds it back

one thing to expect is that, if Precure runs for at least 15 more years, and it's not too unlikely, expect to see the food theme being used two more times, I wonder how. Also in less than 10 years, they will start to use AI, it's inevitable, not to make a whole season of course
>>
>>291403270
that was Hirogaru's hinted theme, and to a way less extent, Doki's. Skearhead was literally the devil and lived underground, King Jikocchu was a demon corrupting people's souls into doing sins
>>
>>291403287
Using AI to gen video is a meme due to how expensive it is and all the consistency and quality problems.
A much better approach I've seen recently is giving AI control over 3d software and then rendering the final product.

current AI for big anime isn't worth it, but advancements in the next 5 years are going to be huge. They will use it for the animation sweatshop part, storyboards and most of the screenwriting will still be done by humans, I guess it will be by law. Toei has enough money to make their own generative AI too, and they will use it to brainstorm some ideas or make cheap merch

Even if he doesn't catch the real reason he still notices Mikuru isn't acting like normal and ties to lighten her mood, how cute!

Also, him accepting Anna and Mikuru was really out of the line but at least he has stuck by them by thick and thin, always providing whatever support as both inventor and companion. Hope we can see them together once Anna returns to 2027, as family or otherwise.

Cure Eclair was really straightforward, but the twists after that aren't really. The true nature of the episode 13 prophecy and the whole third race thing definitely caught people off guard, and it's definitely weird that Mafuru didn't really seem like she knew Mikuru when the other way around is obviously true. Mafuru acting is definitely plausible, but then that brings up the question of why she would feel the need to act in the first place. They are obviously building up to something with Anna having a Makoto Jewel because of unconventional means that isn't obvious at first glance, and I suspect next episode may have a vague hint towards some Anna-related mystery. I suppose we're in the part of the show that focuses on Anna and Mikuru's mysteries though I wonder when the answers will be revealed.
>>
>real Mikuru is still in London
Can't wait to see our notMikuru's fairy design
>>
Mafuru IS Mikurus mom, and Annas grandma, but she doesnt know it because Anna hasn't altered the timeline to make her reproduce with _________ to create Mikuru yet. Its a closed loop time paradox. Everything before and after SDpre requires SDpre to happen in order to exist.
>>
Anna would notice her own mother's name or at least, something, anything, so maybe Mikuru is the actual fairy's name
>>
>>291403892
Mafuru's like 60, she would've had Mikuru when she was in her late 40's in that case.
>>
>>291403900
It's kind of funny how many people just outright think Anna wouldn't know her mom's first name and maiden name. That's technically possible I suppose, but it would have to be intentionally kept a secret.

ok so Mikuru is a fairy but also not a fake Mikuru, meaning Mafuru is ALSO a fairy, meaning Anna is FULL fairy too but doesn't know yet

You tend to lose your concentration when you're exhausted. It could still be a matter of concentration with no energy requirements at all.

You should list Jett's addiction to high calorie sweets as evidence of your claim though.

>>291404236
Jett only turns back into human form if he's caught off guard, so this might be a case where fairies don't really need energy to stay human.

Going at least by his human form being younger than the other SD fairies who have shown the ability to assume human form and his personality Jett might be relatively young for fairy standards, through he is a genius after all.

Also, his main motivation to keep human form at most times is that he finds people seeing his floating yellow kitty form to be absolutely embarassing

Usonoir reverted to his fairy state permanently after losing all his powers to the Cures. The same happened to several villains in the franchise.

Obviously, Mikuru and Anna are both born from 2 seperate halves of Mafuru's Makoto Jewel which will break apart in a future episode as Mafuru sacrifices herself. One half gets blasted into the past to become Mikuru, and the other piece gets blasted into the future to become Anna. They will be the first set of mainline Cures that are actually sisters ... sort of.

I mean, one can make the argument that anything a person, human or fairy does is "tiring" being alive in itself is something that consumes energy

But even if I go by that, the point is if it's something that can affect you enough for it to not be sustainable, like how wearing clothes no matter how lightly objectively means we are carrying extra weight and losing more energy, but we can keep doing it 24/7 without feeling tired because of it and most people won't even sleep naked

When talking about a special transformation ability, how tiring could be? As far we know it can be as tiring as wearing a hat, if it consumes energy, it certainly is not in a way that matters for Jett's daily life

Mafuru could be the cure that saved Mikuru in the past. She is the only character Mikuru has reacted to we dont know about. I doubt it will be anything too outlandish. The circumstance that kept Luluka on the bad side longer after eclair came was really fucking stupid but pretty handwaveable.

>>
>>291405727
Ok, drop the fairy form nonsense. We know the rules of a fairy having a human form in SD and Mikuru is too young.
>>
>>291405727
Alternatively Mikuru's mom was just a normal human and Mafuru's partner and ended up dying. What's 100% sure that Mafuru isn't Mikuru's mom because the woman holding Mikuru's hand in the opening looks nothing like her. Though how Mafuru doesn't recognize her own granddaughter is another bit of convoluted writing if that ends up happening.
>>
>>291405672
I wouldn't say so, Meitantei has a balance of foreshadowing and actually deliveirng on-screen, if you want to see a show that's just vagueposting the whole season then watch HS or WP.

We actually dont. We dont know shit about fairies in this series unless it was told in the movie which I havent watched. They're waiting for the last 5 episodes to reveal anything.

Not as much mental gymnastics as assuming Mikuru recognizes her own grandmother but she doesn't recognize her in return. Mafuru probably isn't going to make a huge deal about it in the first place.
>>
>>291405893
They haven't revealed tons in a single place but you can piece the puzzle pieces like that one early episode about Jett opening the shop + the island episode + the fact that the villains are fairies + the reveal of the special fairies with different eye shapes + the fact that top of lily is a connection between humans and fairies + Mafuru being a detective but not really having an explicit partner so far (which means he probably died).

There's a lot there, they just didn't connect the dots between A, B, C, D, etc all in a single place.

Mafuru = Mikuru's grandmother is probably just a red herring and she and Mikuru's mother were merely partners and then something happened to Mikuru's mother. Mikuru's going by a pseudonym (the Mikuru = Mirai theory is a good one) and Mafuru's probably only seen her baby pictures at best which is why she doesn't recognize Mikuru (if that even really is her real name)
>>
Where the show made it confusing is that Mafuru and Mikuru's grandma look different from hairstyle and hair color (we have only seen grandma from behind in a flashback). We first see Mafuru who is like 8 years older than the flashback of loli Mikuru. But where the show made it confusing was that when Kurea talked about how famous Mafuru was, they use a frame that looked like Mikuru's grandma. So she might not be her grandma. But also the school principal knows Mikuru and does things for her while also knowing mafuru so mafuru could just be pretending and they have to keep their relationship secret.
>>
>>291405919
Seriously, an 'evil' season is overdue. Childish shit like taking candy (mwah) from babies or doing silly pranks while the 'heroines' try and fail to stop them is ripe for comedy. But Precure takes itself a little too seriously it seems.
>>
If Mafuru is Mikuru's grandma then why couldn't she take five seconds to talk to her? She cares about the scattered fairies but can't care about her own granddaughter that's right in front of her and is obviously uncomfortable.

>>
>>291406074
Going by Mikuru's expression when she sees Mafuru both in Kurea's memories and in current time their relationship seems to be in a rocky spot, the difference is that Mikuru wears her heart on her sleeve and so Anna and Jett can notice she is troubled while Mafuru does better at hiding her feelings through they seem to slip off a bit and it's likely no one on the Makoto Mirai branch knows her well enough to notice she is hiding something.

>>
>>291406435
Mafuru is putting on a face in front of her granddaughter and Mikuru is hiding their relationship. Considering there is someone targeting the london branch, it's easy to understand why they would do that and why she would send Mikuru to Japan.

It's really that simple.

>>291406271
I've been thinking the same thing, to be honest. For all the "detective" theme they've desperately been trying to do throughout the entire season, the main characters do a very surprisingly little amount of actual questioning of extremely basic shit like who is this person, why is Mikuru being so obviously aloof, etc. It's really getting to be annoying by now, so I'm glad other anons are waking up to it as well.

>>291406563
The show is very obvious about its tells. In this episode alone you had Nijee visibly shaken when the dangos were mentioned and Anna recognized Mafuru from somewhere, going as far as to point out that it wasn't just from the Decchi forced flashback.
With Mafuru? Nothing. No side glances, no sly smiles, it was as if she met Mikuru for the first time. All we have connecting them is the similar designs and that's an easy red herring to throw at the audience.

>>
>>291406712
>She became one after entering the boarding school
That's my point. Mikuru is always in danger now so why can't Mafuru speak up a bit now.
>>
>>291406651
The episodic plots are the ones that they solve, the ovearching plots are mysteries for the viewers to piece together.
This has been something consistent for quite some time.

>>291406740
These people are treating a kids show like it's an actual adult mystery season. It's pretty hilarious
>>
>>291406762
>>291406683
Because she's being watched. Everyone in this show is being watched by the bad guys. It's obvious why Mafuru is pretending to not know her or why she's not staying around the branch.
>>
>>291406683
While Mafuru didn't show any real reaction to Mikuru, it's still a distinct possibility that she's simply playing along with Mikuru wanting to keep her relation to Mafuru a secret. There's a strong possibility that the school headmaster knows of Mikuru's relation to Mafuru which is why she goes to school there like she may have for Luluka and Kurea.
>>
>>291406802
They're only being watched when the generals are there, otherwise they're safe. There was no real reason for Mafuru to hide her identity, if she is Mikuru's grandmother.

I don't think it's a bad thing for a show that's focused on mysteries and twists to save some for the final arc. I would be more worried if there wasn't semi-consistent dripfeeding throughout the season. There's definitely the risk of the finale arc having to answer too many answers at once and feeling rushed as a result of that, but there's still almost a third of the season left. Another recent Toei show Digimon Beatbreak had a shit ton of loose threads like 7 episodes before the end, and most of those got tied up satisfactory. That show was a lot worse about dripfeeding answers and worldbuilding throught the season than Meitantei was, so I'm not worried yet.

Oh shut up, you're that one faggot that keeps pretending that characters having feeliongs and personal agendas is a "plot hole" just because it isn't optimal to solve the situation.
An action not being optimal isn't the same as bad writing, if the character has no agency then it just becomes mechanical and devoid of flavor.

People complained about Doki for other reasons, but I don't remember anyone complaining about how Aguri's back story was shrouded in mystery until the end. I didn't come back to /pc/ until early Wonderful, so I'm not sure if the mysteries of other seasons were that complained about. I remember people having fun with Idol's Meroron mystery even if some didn't like how that got resolved.
>>
>>291407924
Not all ideas in a movie come from the main writer you know, if the movie director wanted to have a movie exclusive form because of promotion reasons (to incentivize people watching the trailer to go watch the movie), then Murayam just had to insert it.
I think Miracle Leap is a good movie even if maybe not a good "crossover" movie. It's rare for Precure to do a groundhog day story like that.

Maybe when coming back the heat of GoPri that would be a valid take, but rewatching Maho after the Reiwa era made it feel genuinely solid.

"major complaints" are nitpicks most of the time.
They're people pretending that certain details break the show completely, but then those complaints get forgotten 95% of the time when the season becomes 2 or 3 years old.

Maho is definitely special due to the family bonds being the strongest in Precure.

I guess the thing with Meitantei for me is that the plot dripfeed is a fun experience in itself, but the actual mysteries are pretty low key and unexciting, hinging on a lack of communication between the main characters. It's not something I'd complain about given that this is a show for young children, but past series have had more exciting developments so the show can feel underwhelming. There's just a dissonance for me.

You can only bring up lack of communication with the recent Mikuru stuff, the abyss between Luluka and Kurea was understandable since Luluka was too far gone and closed her heart.

>It's not something I'd complain about given that this is a show for young children
I don't see why that should stop you.
>>
>>291408663
>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.

Basically the episodic mysteries are for the kids while the overarching mysteries are for the older girls/adults. It's an intentional choice.
>>
Is it me or Luluka is still refusing to call Kurea name
>>
>>291408453
HS family bonds are pretty weak for a couple of reasons
1. Elle's parents are still alive, so any sense that Sora and Mashiro are her parents is kind of weak.
2. Ageha, Tsubasa, and Elle having a weird love triangle weakens any family vibes the three of them might have helped to generate otherwise
Maho's the best when it comes to family vibes, but I'd go so far to say that Suite is better than HS when it comes to family vibes since Hibiki and Kanade end up feeling like older sisters to Ako instead of forcing themselves to fill a parent role, and Ellen ends up as Hibiki and Kanade's mutual sister/pet's wife due to her relation to Hummy.

IIRC, I haven't been keeping track but the Japs claim she likes to use anata to refer to Kurea directly, which is like how wives refer to husbands in the context that she uses it.
>>
>>291408663
If I learned something from Donbrothers is that sometimes the bonds formed and the little moments shared along the way are more meaningful and enjoyable than the resolution of big mysteries and that is okay too.

The main theme of SD might be detectives and mysteries but it's quite obvious that bonds, family and dreams are just as important for the story it wants to tell.

I have not once heard kurea use anata in a wife manner. She says kurea plenty. She just doesnt talk at all.

Technically the episodic stories being geared towards kids has been true for a long time, why do you think they have so many one-off stories? So people can pick it up easily at any point of the season.
Precure has always been a show that tried to be acessible to mainstream normalfags, it IS a show for the family.

It's why people are assuming Mikuru using a pseudonym. This show will be shit on though if Mikuru isnt the mom in some way.

Because I respect their intent for the target audience to figure out the mysteries themselves, and I get why they aren't stimulating for my adult brain. (The other thing is that I find that I struggle to care about the fairy lore.) I do wonder if the children have connected Mikuru = Anna's mom yet. I remember watching Sailor Moon before going to school in 1st grade and wondering why she didn't just reveal her identity to Tuxedo Mask.

>>291408957
>bonds, family and dreams are just as important for the story it wants to tell
Problem is that the mystery of the week format gets in the way of this. Kurea's character pretty much exists as an accessory to Luluka.

>>291409062
Why do you people keep bringing up that up as if it was some kind of gotcha when we have a world altering giant gem the villains want looming around and amnesia perpetually haning above the Cures at all times? It also could be as simple as Mikuru hiding her real identity in 2027 for some reason...
