Smile was probably the only team that was actually unknown. The existence of Precures varied for seasons, and the Fresh Precures were also widely known.

Right, but on the other hand the Light Novels ended 3 years ago, the Manga ended last year, and the anime ended before Barack Obama was POTUS. I just wonder if it won't be a bit odd to make a community or OT or whatever for something that seems to be basically entirely done with. I'm almost certain the first page would contain folks excited like it was an announcement of a new season, and I couldn't bring myself to do that to people.
Oh man we thought it was contained to Japan, Arkansas and Biblical verse, we thought wrong.
She...lost her smile? Ran a cabal of idols with disproportionate political power backstage? Was fucked up on drugs for a long while, then found Jesus, cleaned up, and came out of retirement? Has a hunting show now?
I still have no idea how Funimation initially managed to screw up that Death Note reference in No-Rin. It's probably the single most memetically well-known line in the series.
By the way, it seems they went back and fixed all the other subtitle errors from previous episodes too.

That's what I was talking about in regards to Moonlight suffering... and no one was revived either.
What happened to them? You can tell me just spoiler tag it.
Oniisama e 3
I'm finding myself laughing a lot while watching these episodes so far and I really can't tell if it's unintentional humour or if it's supposed to be hilarious.
You know what, Nanako deserves what happened to her in this episode. She fell for the easiest trick in the book.

Heartcatch fans are going to feel right at home with this one. Will post more detailed thoughts once the subs release.

NO you didn't tell me ..
But i knew ..
she better be there for S2...
i have to admit that her everyday clothes is the superior design
The following is cnet , when he sleeps :
You're in yes! gogo , right ?
I dunno how you will manage that because after "gogo" i had to take a break ..yeah the entire yes! saga took too much of my energy. Hurry up and finish "gogo" so you can watch the superior saga "fresh" and the legendary season "heartcatch"
Your suffering is almost over.
The first one.
Yes! Precure 5 GoGo! 32
Okay, it's official, Momoi-san is definitely the best villain of this series. Not only does he go to the trouble of approaching the Cures in human form to make things more interesting, he's now even gone and turned an episode into "Honey, I Shrunk The Cures". And with a whole colony of ant Hoshiina to battle, no less! Plus he's just fabulous in general. Can't complain.

Well she lost her smile. The rest is still to come. Or maybe we just don't know about it yet and her old friends from the idol clique will show up soon.
Agreed. Kate > Venera outfitwise. So much cute there. I watch the yawning gif every day.

I think this series will be a solid one given the staff. The villains look interesting and I'm interested in seeing how a setting where everyone is aware of Cures will be handled.

Well we actually have a good writer, so there's some hope at least.
cnet don't even quote this
Well it's not necessarily the Cures. It's more on the lines of:
Right at the beginning, you see Moonlight fighting Dark Precure, and due to the exchange, she loses her powers. It is a scene that is referred to because it is the reason everything is going on in the present. The other reason for the scene, is that Moonlight lost her powers, due to being cocky, because her fairy protected her and was killed right in front of her, shattering her will to fight. That, and the combination of not knowing where her father was also ruined her relation with her mother.
Fast forward to the end. Moonlight finds her father, who was responsible for Dark Precure, making Dark Precure her test tube sister, basically. So two sisters were forced to fight to the death, and... Moonlight won. Her father actually embraced Dark Precure one last time before she dies for good. Her father embraced the test tube baby instead of his own daughter, and then got himself killed right in front of her in order to save her from Dune's attack. And all three of them remained dead. No revivals. And all she got was the affections of a 12 year old boy. No onscreen relationship repairs with her mother. Not exactly a happy end.

Is it just an excuse to get out of jobbing to idol Bret Hart?
Holy shit thats up there...
might have to watch that one. Eventually
like two years from now
Sorry for this, but anyone mind explaining this sequence/joke?
It's not particularly funny. In the first one the message they're holding up reads "itekomase", a crude dialect word meaning something like "beat 'em up!" (because ho ho ho, they're yakuza, so they have to say crude things). By knocking the guy with the "ko" out of the picture and adding an "o" at the start (and revealing the part of one card that was covered up, turning the "te" into a "de") it becomes "oidemase" meaning "welcome!"
…Now here, have a gif of Cure Lemonade rolling.

Ace of Diamond: Episode 17
Faces was great and as hilarious looking as they were in the manga, glad it wasnt messed up. Kind of wished one of the still scenes hadnt been a still scene
but it was flashback.
Furuya not putting it in deep for Miyuki was disappointing but it was my favorite of this affair.

Sawamura double play along with that music and how they had his hand in front of the sun even to blind the batter was excellent. I hope for many more matches

I'm glad the Happiness truly was charged. Now to play the waiting game.

Poor Miru. Finding out that the one who inspired you to become an idol was a fake is heartbreaking. I've been growing to like Miru over the past few episodes, so seeing her break down like this was sad. The reason why the first Lemon Angel was revived was also a bit surprising.
Real idols vs fake idols! I welcome this return to the sci-fi-ish elements of the first few episodes.

MIki did it. For revenge on Himuro. Complete with a thunderclap timed to her announcement.

Happiness Charge Precure - 01
Oh, we back. Definitely getting HeartCatch vibes with the facial expressions and energy that was jam packed in this pilot. Absolutely in love with the transformation music, those soft vocals are such a nice touch! And fucking finally we got a leader who when first presented with their transformation device is literally "Oh I know about this, let's fucking do it!" instead of the trademark "I don't really get what you're saying, but here we go?!"
And Cure Fortune seems like a total bitch. YES.

BGBW is making a lot of posts in the Animal Crossing OT for someone who is supposed to be posting the AOTY results.

same , all the impressions are positive , so that means that i'll have something positve to watch before going to sleep
Surprised that you didn't comment on the fact that the OP has Hime protecting the garden.
Be careful, this season might leave you in tears if Seiji is as prominent as the OP makes him appear.
Make it a lttp or rttp thread.

How important is it that I watch Chaos Head before Stein's Gate?
Completely unimportant. They take place in the same universe, but they're unconnected. From what I hear S;G is by far the best of the three anime (the other being Robotic;Notes).
Oh, I could do that. Hmmmmmmm

Wow. I didn't even know there was three of them. Thank you much!
Not important and it's best if you avoid Chaos Head. It's just awful.

Hime did many things that made it seem like she wanted to protect the garden.
Will say Seiji sounds a hell of a lot manlier than I expected though.

Clearly she's only trying to protect her turf there. No man is touching her gurl.
RIP SDBurton
I watched all three, and while Chaos;Head wasn't perfect (it was written by Toshiki Inoue, he has a few... quirks), I'm still very grateful for it for getting me into the Science Adventure series in the first place. The atmosphere at least was carried off very well.
I also like R;N too, largely for Aki and her amazing energy. The Science Adventure series as a whole is one of my favorites. A nice mix of otaku elements and sci-fi stories.

Not important at all. And don't bother with Chaos;Head unless you read the visual novel.

It's not. Chaos;Head is absolute trash. MADHOUSE crap at its worst.
Stick to Steins;Gate which is an amazing series.
I've warmed up to it. I think all the Aikatsu! and Pretty Rhythm I've been watching have helped make it easier. I just like things better in full 2D.
