>>292165893>>292165904Someone explain this "meme" to me because I'm thoroughly confused.
>>292168465The joke is that he is recoloring Mikuru to other characters, similar to how pic related it recolored for a VA inside joke. Only his is more simple as the only joke is the colors are meant to mimic other characters in the show and other seasons.
>>292168517Ah, thanks.

>>292168939Moon Cure?
>>292168978
>>292168978Aoyama has been working on Precure from day 1 and he's one of the reasons they're able to release a Precure episode almost every single week for the past 20+ years because he animates his episodes almost entirely by himself (he used to do it by himself in the past, but he's in his 60s now).
>>292168994There will never be more of a "moon" Cure in all of Pretty Cure history than Laura. It's a critical part of her entire character.

Seal the deal...Indulge in the sweetest taboo...
>>292169164The point is that Aoyama is necessary for Precure to be a show that delivers 50 episodes very year because he animates his episodes almost by himself so the animation team can work on the important episodes.

>>292171758>>292171627Total missed the previous year by 5, RIP (period is higher, but the beginning was lower so the added count is lower).
>>292171758Well shit. There's a good chance next year will be the last season of Precure unless things turn around.
>>292171860Here's the real question: If SD performed as well as Idol last year, would they have surpassed the previous year, even by 1 or 2?Serious question. Looking for serious answers only.
>>292172013If SD first quarter had done as well as Idol it would have surpasseed Idol.
>>292172013At this time last year, Idol did a 25 during this quarter. During this time, SD did a 15. That's a difference of 10. This means that if SD didn't plummet the sales so bad, Toei would currently have a SURPLUS of 5 instead of a DEFICIT of 5.
>>292172045>>292172059
You can thank Luluka's merchandise and the Star Detective movie sales for this. Without those two factors, SD would be dead in the water.
>>292172150how well did the movie do?
>>292171758I have no idea what that is.
>>292171758Honestly pretty fucking grim.>>292172059>if SD didn't plummet the sales so bad, Toei would currently have a SURPLUS of 5 instead of a DEFICIT of 5jesus....
>>292172181https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2026/9/21/star-detective-precure-anime-film-biggest-opening-weekend>The film drew 357,612 attendees and grossed 445,584,150 yen (2.84 million USD) over its three-day opening weekend, according to Oricon NewsOpens in a new tab. These figures surpassed the opening performance of the 2023 film Precure All Stars F (356,925 attendees and 437,001,330 yen box office gross), which is currently the franchise's highest-grossing film with a total of 1.54 billion yen (9.8 million USD).So basically, All Stars F had the biggest opening weekend in all of Precure history, and SD's movie nearly DOUBLED that record. However, it's important to take things in context:https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2026/10/26/star-detective-precure-anime-film-action-packed-opening-footage>ranked third in its opening weekendSo TR still holds the record of opening at a box office as #1 (it's the only Precure movie to ever do this). However, in every single other metric, the SD movie has made history as the most successful movie in the Precure franchise's history. This is what I mean when I say Luluka and the SD movie are the two determining factors for the increase in sales from Q1 to Q2 this year. Not to mention the SD movie had some additional 4DX screenings in October, so that'll boost Q3 sales by a little bit.
>>292172255>the SD movie has made history as the most successful movie in the Precure franchise's historyok but why? the super forms were general and copy-pasted onto each other, the formula was stale and boring, and i've heard nothing but mid comments about it
>>292172268Inflation.
>>292172277This, but also look at what #1 and #2 were:>1. Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid IslandIt was already in theaters since July 24th, but despite this, it was STILL #1 in the box office on Precure's September 18th weekend. So far, it has made ¥18.7 BILLION. That's over TEN TIMES the amount of All Stars F's entire movie total. Chiikawa is no joke over in Japan which should be evident by the fact it is the #1 grossing movie in Japan for all of 2026. A portion of those moviegoers might have watched that movie, saw the new Precure movie, and went "oh I'll watch that too :)" and watched it.>2. The OdysseyChristopher. Freaking. Nolan. Need I say more? Precure should consider it an honor to be competing with this movie, but there was no way it was making more than it was, even in TO's second week.Then you had the Madoka movie still going, Cosmic Princess Kaguya, your typical Detective Conan movie (a franchise Precure literally crossed over with recently at the time), etc. It was just a really big time for a specific subset of moviegoers.
>>292165860
>>292172378>1. ChiiI stopped reading there.
>>292172419AI was a mistake.
>>292172400>>292172425I don't know which one is real (if either), so I'll just wave to both of them.
>>292172425Thank you so much>>292172400LMAO you lost
>>292172255>So TR still holds the record of opening at a box office as #1proof?
>>292172458that's the way to do it, it doesn't matter
>>292172471https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2021/10/25/japan-box-office-tropical-rouge-precure-film-makes-impressive-no1-debut>The 30th feature film in Toei Animation's Precure franchise, Eiga Tropical-Rouge! Precure Yuki no Princess to Kiseki no Yubiwa! (Tropical-Rouge! Precure The Movie: The Snow Princess and the Miracle Ring) was released in 235 theaters across Japan on October 23, 2021, then earned an impressive 170 million yen (1.49 million USD) on 141,000 admissions to become the top-grossing film of the weekend.This is a record held to this day. The TR movie is the only movie to open at the box office at #1.Of course, its 170 million yen is paltry compared to the SD movie's ~445.58 million yen, and by Toei's standards. Even including the fact that theaters were only allowed to be half full during COVID-19, that would only double figures to 340 million yen, so the TR movie isn't a complete flop. It is what is is.
can someone please nuke rolafag from orbit?thanks
>>292172510>the only movie*the only Precure movie>and by Toei's standardsWas gonna type a different sentence, but then I forgot to add to it. Basically, by Toei standards, it did great for record breaking achievements, but it did poorly in sales. Yes, the poor sales were because of COVID-19, but poor sales are still poor sales, no two ways around it.
>>292172207At least we are not Project RED.
>>292172255So did it surpass the 1.54 billion yen of All Stars F or not?
>>292172425
>>292172569It's at 1.38 billion right now.Yoshimi Narita's excellent movie surpassing All Stars F is not impossible.
>>292172059Isn't there a more recent version of this one?
>>292172569https://en.mantan-web.jp/e_article/20261029dog00m200077000a.htmlAs of October 29th (the most recent article I could find), it has done 1.31 billion yen. This makes it the best selling standalone, aka "non-All Stars", Precure movie of all time. So the SD movie had a ridiculously strong start because of what was going on in theaters, and that combined with the momentum All Stars F and the Idol movie already brought along with them helped prop up the sales quite nicely. That, and there's also this:https://filmarks.com/movies/128108TR scored a 3.81/5.00 for its first week at Filmarks. The score has since dropped down to 4.00/5.00, but on its opening weekend, the SD movie was at 4.20/5.00, so apparently the SD movie is also fairly good even if some of it is formulaic in its presentation.
What went wrong with SD?
>>292172615Looks like >>292172598 has more recent sales number. If it went from 1.31 to 1.38 in just a week, yeah, it's actually possible it could still surpass All Stars F, especially with those 4DX theater showings. Those things are no joke and add a new reason to watch the movie.
Samefag spam
>>292172603https://x.com/kasumi1973/It'll show up here when it's out as this is the person who makes them. According to what is already being said, SD's Q2 did 120% of Idol's Q2, but the combined sales for the first two quarters are down because of the abyssmal 10 drop in SD's Q1. You can thank Luluka and her bff for the increase in toy sales.
https://x.com/curehibiki01/status/2120035978488455494>A summary of something Isao Murayama said in a recent interview: "In a lot of Precure series, the story usually focuses on the bonds of the whole team only after wrapping up individual focus episodes for each character, and this has been true for several Precure shows I've worked on before. But TanPre's narrative pacing is different. Eclair and Arcana got their brooch energy in episodes 38 and 40, respectively. Now, the focus is going to shift to Mystique and Answer. In the second half, the story will dig much deeper into their relationship and growth, so please pay close attention to what kind of power they get from the Star Shine Brooch. Also, the core request of the story, Mikuru's very first job as a detective which is "returning Anna to 2027," is going to have some highly dramatic developments. I hope everyone keeps watching every week!" >"Because detective protagonists truly stand out during an investigation, we are presently building a strong foundation for Anna and Mikuru as they mature as sleuths. Moving forward, however, their involvement will escalate rapidly. Viewers can look forward to narrative arcs that uncover their backgrounds and secret aspects of their characters. Furthermore, upcoming episodes will portray them observing their senior detectives, Kurea and Ruruka, prompting them to reflect deeply on the type of detectives they aspire to become, so please keep an eye out for those moments."
It was the best series of the last 3 years.
>>292172656>some highly dramatic momentsWe're gonna need an Anna and Mikuru version of this!
>>292172661
>>292172656>In a lot of Precure series, the story usually focuses on the bonds of the whole team only after wrapping up individual focus episodes for each characterI'm confused. It's usually the final character focus episodes then the final arc. There's no group bonding episodes after that, there isn't time.>Viewers can look forward to narrative arcs that uncover their backgrounds and secret aspects of their characters.Finally.>Furthermore, upcoming episodes will portray them observing their senior detectives, Kurea and Ruruka, prompting them to reflect deeply on the type of detectives they aspire to becomeHopefully that's in a passive way, there's no time for more Kurea episodes.
>>292172661Wonderful > DP > HS >Idol
Holy shit...
Luluka´s body saved this quarter.
>>292172742>Wonderful > HS
There will be three more Kurea episodes just to piss off that one autistic retard
>>292172762Unironically.No seriously, unironically. Luluka's merch is approaching "best selling for a single character excluding the two OGs" in the entire history of Precure, it's not even funny. Little girls absolutely love her.
>>292172766Meant to say Kurea/Luluka episodes, weird anon. And I'm not wrong, there really isn't any time.
>>292172769You mean Shadow or Blanca?
This last episode seemed fine to me. The Aoyama episode with the quiz show and gardening might have been the worst looking episode of the series ever, but it also brought us some of the best moments (Mikuru face, funny little quz show hats). I guess this Aoyama guy is technically flawed but soulful.
>>292172769You're overselling.
>>292172782Anything and everything Luluka related. Clearly, Arcana Shadow has sold more because it has been out longer and because of "newborn duck syndrome", aka little girls saw that form first, so even if Arcana was somehow better in every single way, little girls would still choose Arcana Shadow because it is what they saw first. It's similar to how Gentlu was still popular way after Amane was no longer transforming into that. But regardless, anything and everything Luluka sells like hotcakes.If Toei would just grow another brain cell and realize an ice cream crossover would sell even more...
>>292172806Exaggerating and trolling everything is his full time job
>>292172815
Angry Liko is scarier than Angry Mirai
>>292172837Isn't that a crêpe? I mean, it has ice cream, so I guess it counts.I was talking more like a brand-themed crossover with something like Breyers, Häagen-Dazs, etc. Would that be profitable in a place like Japan, though I wonder?
>>292172838Cuter too.
>>292172870
>>292172892Yes, exactly! They have Precure-themed curry, gummies, melonpan, and other stuff, so why not ice cream? Is at-home ice cream just not popular in Japan?
>>292172892
>>292172661>It was the best series of the last 3 years

>>292173179You seem to be suffering from ADS (AI Derangement Syndrome) where non-AI generated images start looking like AI to a person too.It's understandable in this day and age, but that art is clearly not AI generated.
>>292173192>You seem to be suffering from ADS (AI Derangement Syndrome)I know you meant that as an insult, but I unironically, absolutely am suffering from that. And as AI-generated images continue to propagate the Internet, advertising, and pretty much all of society, I assume it will only get worse.
>>292173205It doesn't help that morons keep reposting Luluka generations from Xitter and TikTok.
>>292173205More of a half insult really. People are 100% using AI in everything on a corporate level, the trick is in how you hide it. Like the poses for that could've been generated with AI and then the artist traced them, we just have no way of knowing the truth because nobody will admit to outside of coding because it would be career and social suicide.You can still differentiate the purely AI generated slop from art that has a human touch to it so we're not quite at the end times yet but we can definitely see them from here.
Haa-chan makes another friend!
I highlighted the reasons why I think the image is AI. I'm 99.99% certain the plastic stands themselves are NOT AI as the text is way too clear and consistent. The highlighted areas are the immediate tells I notice. I've just seen way, waaay too many AI-generated pictures in both acrylic stands and can badges not to notice this stuff anymore. Can you or >>292173153 (if different poster) link to the X post where the image is from?
go to sleep
While I was looking up acrylic stands trying to find the X post, I found pic related. I forgot how ridiculously lewd they made Cure Ange's pose for the 20th anniversary...
>>292173348Yeah you're jumping at shadows here. There's nothing wrong with Anna's hands or Mikuru's leg there and the star accessories are a part of Eclair's design.

I am seeing a large variety of Luluka acrylic stands including what is seen in >>292173509, yet nothing is matching >>292173153 at all. This is making me think more and more that it's AI generated...

>>292174069Q1 of SD averages with all the other movies, except Idol.
After doing an honestly embarrassing amount of research, I can say with 100% certainty that the acrylic stands themselves are not AI. I can blame the AI look on it being a phone pic (yes, it's a phone pic: look at the "2048" in the dimension) and blame it on the phone's filter, but I have zero proof of this. It doesn't matter if a phone AI upscaled the image or added a filter or whatever anyway because the actual pictures themselves are real.What I will say is that these acrylic stands are NOT popular AT ALL because wow, literally nobody has these things. These things have been out for nearly 2 weeks now. Was there some kind of merch bottleneck that caused them not to come out until literally a few hours ago, and that's why nobody posted them? Oh well.

>$10 for a piece of paper inside a piece of plasticInflation is real. At least the full-res visual is nice.
>>292174289>Yes, various forms of image, face, or picture smoothing are enabled by default or built into the processing on Samsung Galaxy phones.>Yes, computational photography and automated post-processing are enabled by default on Google Pixel phones, which often results in heavy HDR blending, contrast boosting, and fine-detail sharpening that some users perceive as smoothing or over-processing.>The iPhone 18 does not have a permanent, standalone "skin smoothing" or "image smoothing" toggle enabled by default, but its default Photographic Styles and computational imaging pipeline automatically apply subtle textural and lighting refinements to photos.
>>292174354Kimi to Idol taught little girls to make their own stands which was a surprising piece of anti-corpo messaging in a franchise like Precure, especially in an otherwise merchandise shilling heavy season.
>>292174354It can't even buy a meal these days
>>292174108A collaboration with Capcom is already scheduled for next month, so any further collaboration opportunities will have to wait until next season.
>>292174391So basically: Don't trust anything ever until you see it posted by an official source. And even then, make sure the company is trustworthy. Which Toei is...for now, at least.The day Toei uses AI for even a single piece of official Precure merchandise is the day Toei loses all trust.Also, I just found this shrunchie merchandise but there isn't one of Shushutan? Literally why? Toei you're silly.

Well this thread's last 100 posts have been amusing to read through.

>saves your franchise
>>292174750>and her we are
>>292166410I dont recall this happening
>>292172510Did SD movie beat all stars f or will it come a little short
>>292174870It's not done in theaters yet. According to >>292172598, it's at 1.38 billion right now. All Stars F did 1.54 billion. Knowing Toei, they'll want the big number, so they'll probably keep it in theaters just long enough to surpass All Stars F.
>>292172510They all dress their ages, except for Minori who dresses like she was 60+
>>292174939It'll surpass Idol easily in the 3rd Q.
>>292174929>they'll want the big number, so they'll probably keep it in theaters just long enough to surpass All Stars F.That's what happened with All Stars F, they gave it a push to get it over the 1.5 line.I got the current SD movie numbers from the usual account>52日間で動員107万5432人＆興収13億7958万990円
SD's movie is an outlier because it is the first Precure movie to feature 4DX screenings. Those 4DX screenings are giving the movie a longer lifespan than any Precure movie before it.
>>292174971>4DX screeningsDidn't anon say that those were already over? Time limited thing.
>>292174984So that explains the declining line compared to F...It's over...
>>292172838But they are both cuter when they make out... I mean, make up
>>292174967https://x.com/moviewalker_bce/status/2119978822900883664I do wonder if the movie has enough steam to actually get from 1.38 to 1.54 though. It was at 1.27 four weeks after its release, and it only went up to 1.38 in another 4 weeks. Toei would have to keep it in theaters until near Christmas to break the record.Even so, it's still the #1 non-All Stars movie, so that's something.

>>292175500Here's a better job with the background if you want to redo it
I'm on episode 28, why is Kurea such a mary sue? Also the show is still focused on luluka and kurea's relationship when that should've been done by the midseason climax
>>292173816One of them is a touken ranbu musical actor. Purple looks too much like daihanya
>>292173904Are all male cure teams going to have an ojisan fairy from now on

>>292176211Outstanding.

>>292176250Cute
>>292176015The toys are still selling super well for Bandai going by >>292174041 and >>292174069. The anti-yuri fag is just being a drama queen.
>>292176112Middle two cours are pretty focused on Kurea and Luluka. Anna and Mikuru are only really starting to get focused on again starting episode 41 (which hasn't aired yet).
>>292176318>Lets give the MC their focus arc in the literal final arcWhoever wrote SD needs to gtfo from precure for at least 5 years
>>292176330Is this your first mystery series ever?
>>292176375Not him but it's annoying that you keep trying to use that as an excuse when it's perfectly possible to still write episodes that involve Anna and Mikuru that don't reveal any major secrets.
>>292176405>episodes that involve Anna and Mikuru that don't reveal any major secretsThere were several episodes like that.
>>292176375Not really, but I assumed Precure would do better, for example give hints each episode about the big reveal but so far it's been an endless Kurea and Luluka dick ridding, with Mikuru being Coy and vagueposting about something. Also>Anna/Mikuru, Kure and Luluka all have separate stock footage, on top of the signature attacks and finishers stock footageI hope the next season tone it down a notch, because holy fuck.
>>292176441>dick riddingNo dicks are involved in this show.
>>292176433You know that's my point, right? They stopped doing that when it wouldn't have been hard to continue doing that.
>>292176330>have the first and last cour focus on the primary duo>have the middle 2 cours focus on the secondary duoIt's a sound concept on paper, but it does mean that it's way easier to appreciate SD through marathon than weekly. My main problem with how SD does it is how the impact of the main duo during the first cour isn't as big as the impact of the secondary duo in the middle 2 cours and there are two whole cours where the primary duo is out of focus. That said, if the final cour really does go off the rails, then the payoff could be worth the build up.
>>292176494Not even that, during the first cour we also had to deal with the cure arcana's mystery and the cure eclair candidate's introductions.
>>292176494This wouldn't necessarily be a problem if one half of the secondary duo wasn't weak as hell. They also could have done more to have Anna and Mikuru more involved in what was going on rather than have them being on the sidelines.
>>292176467Maybe no one at Toei anticipated Arcana Shadow's immense popularity and they decided to shift a bit more attention to her during cour 2 and 3?
>>292176544Those were all good episodes though.
>>292176552I don't really think so. Luluka had to get focus at some point, the timing there makes sense.I know that this is going to be taken as Kurea hate but I don't recall there being any major issues with focus until she came along.
>>292176552Not every thing in a season is set in stone before it airs, but it's kind of hard to change plans for the 2nd and third cour just because of the reception of the first cour. The midseasons being the focus of the middle two cours was almost certainly intended from the start. Murayama in particular is the type of writer to decide the ending before the stuff in the middle and have the stuff in the middle foreshadow the end whereas others are a bit more prone to winging it.
>>292176628>Murayama in particular is the type of writer to decide the ending before the stuff in the middleOh thank God for that
>>292176662>>292176628That also means she knew how to start the story and how to end it, hence the focus on the main pair during the Q1 and the Q4, but the Q2 and Q3 were free for the taken, hence why both Anna and Mikuru were shafted. It's a good plan but she needs to work on her midseason writting.
Ohaaayou~
>>292176662There are pros and cons to that type of writing style for a story since that type of writer can be prone to neglecting the quality of the middle. It's pretty reassuring in a show reliant on mysteries if the writer actually knows the answers though.
>>292176696Murayama is a guy.
>>292176696Murayama's a guy. But in any case, I'd say that SD's writing in the middle is way better than Maho's. Star Twinkle's entertainment value in the middle is better than SD's, but that may also be in part due to the differing directors. I don't think SD's balance between its episodic aspects and overarching aspects is particularly bad, but ST did it better.
>>292176787Hikaru and the gang could explore a different planet every week, you can't compare it with a mystery show with an ongoing underlying plot like SD.
>>292176835>ongoing underlying plot like SDST had the same with the bomb plushie and maho with figuring out Haa-chan
Happy Birthday Mem-Mem!Post pics and say something nice about this cool dragon fairy!
>>292176858What I'm saying is, of course St would be more appealing during middle cours because they had a fucking space ship and the entire galaxy to explore.
Is there an up-to-date nced collection?
>>292176906Uooooooo cute dragon boy!!!His cute human form (adorable) was so underused it's criminal.
>>292176835>ongoing underlying plot like SD.Every serie had a main plot they had to follow between the usual MotW and silly adventures, that's not excuse. And here comes another problem with SD, the mysteries aren't really interesting enough, they tried to do a legit "mystery of the week" format during the Q1 but once the eclair mystery came into scene every case has been extremely barebones and add very little to the plot, they just serve as an excuse to get the MotW and say "muh makoto jewel" for the Nth time. Maybe I just simply dislike SD, and that's why I'm bashing it.

>>292176974For SD's episodes, the mystery of the week is either decently done or insignificant enough to not affect the quality of the episode as a whole. There hasn't been a single SD episode I've disliked because of the way the mystery of the week was done. There are some SD episodes I don't really like all that much, like I think the Jett-senpai focused episodes tend to be meh, but that's due to factors unrelated to the basic formula. In contrast, there's Heartcatch where a few VotWs made their episodes an absolute bore to get through.

>>292177795Why?
>>292177798Yeah it turns out he's not actively evil he just REALLY wants to beat down strong fighters to prove that he's the best. In at least one spin-off media he was even seen selling fruits to a kid.

>Please anons, care about muh homofest garbage ;-;
>>292177929>>292177798He's not evil, or a villain, just a guy who gives into the full intent of the Satsui no Hado. He isn't going to just start killing everyone just for it. He may challenge the generals to gauge them, but he won't help the cures...maybe.Strength and power are what he seeks.

It's selfish but I hope the SF collab is Japan-only or that the overseas SF audience doesn't care because I'd rather Precure be niche overseas and not a normie franchise globally

>>292178314Glitter Force was over a decade ago, sir.
>>292178212The Kirakiras and DPs are easy marks with their themes.Naturally any Pink is primed for fattening. Miyuki the most likely(Not counting Yui and Ichika), Haruka the least likely but most interesting.With the same thought of Haruka above, all blues are least likely to be naturally fat, but their art is always the most fascinating. I don't know if fat Karen or fat Reika has been the most intriguing.
>>292178314It was already shown in English, wasn't it?
>>292172769We're all little girls here anyway. Am I right?
Did Kurea still get some with her wife after the head pat disaster or wasn't a very bad night?
>>292178563Between Karen and Reika I'd rather Reika, it would be funny seeing her trying to present herself as proper while being fat. Can't really imagine Karen as fat, her design is skinny-coded
>>292178652No sir.
>>292178574it was? there was the localized announcement, but that doesnt necessarily mean they will bring the collab here.the problem is that precure is ridiculously niche still, and not only i doubt that the average fightan fan would be okay with this, but i also doubt that the wonderful star power of fightan influencers like mattmcmuscles or maxdood will be enough to sway people.there is a small possibility that they indeed localize and make the event available worldwide if they dont do voice acting for the event. because sure as hell Toei wont pay for getting official english VAs for whatever characters from SD they plan to use. (you have already the 4 girls and the 3 fairies, those are 7 VAs right there, 8 if you add Jett, who could be the only person i can believe be into fighting games in universe, and maybe 9 for Nijee).
>>292178784What level of melty is this
Majesty but with baby fat
>>292178059Wish they did this all the time.
>>292178059They should've done the same thing like in the Eclipse Shadow episode when Anna and Mikuru instantly transformed, but otherwise it makes sense for them to transform because they could get hit by collateral damage.
>>292178739While I said Haruka, I forgot to mention Minami for the blues, another oddly interesting one.While not a blue, Madoka getting fat and trying to pass it off as normal would be fun as well; especially if she could keep up her archery.
