“These parts are gonna be lengthy.” “Oh come on, it can’t be that bad- OH MY GOODNESS.”

I LOVE YOUR PRECURE REVIEWS......AND I DONT MIND THT THEIR TOO LONG

Someone should draw Cure Heart with a container of salt, telling Ira that it's sodium chloride. (This is a reference to Cure Heart's English VA also voicing Jimmy Neutron)

The season in my eyes became more interesting when I noticed the Steven universe parallels. I know one copying the other is impossible since both first aired in 2013 but it's fun to speculate. The cartoon being full of magical girls aside, Rose quartz resembles Princess Marie Ange quite a lot. For starters, both have long slightly ruffled huge pink hair and wear European-styled dresses with Rose quartz a.k.a. Pink diamond also being a princess of sorts. Both individuals are adored and admired by other characters, sometimes to the point of obsession by their knights (Cure sword = Pearl). Said knights and the princesses' partners (Joe=Greg Universe) miss terribly their beloved after they had mysteriously died yet there is hope for resurrection. The pink princesses leave behind a super powerful child that resembles their mother a lot and people wonder if that IS the mother. In Doki doki that can apply to Ai the baby, Cure Ace and Regina at the same time. People depend on the child a lot (Ai and Ace) making it feel torn about its destiny (Mostly Ace). In the end Rose/Marie Ange never comes back but by that point the child (Ace & Regina = Steven) have decided to carve out their own destiny. The knight (Cure Sword=Pearl) become more independent and find new waifus while the father figures... they get to take care of the child (Ai=Steven). Sorry for the long post but I have been waiting for an opportunity to say it.

Ohhh time to tackle the most controversial precure series. My initial thoughts from rewatching the series is that it's not the worst one, and there are things to like about it. I can see the appeal of having a pink lead that is competent. I can see the appeal of the story and surprisingly the world building is great. But mannnnnn when it fails. It fails super hard. I'll make another comment about it, but the first half of the series is the best and worst part of the season.

13:02 don’t you mean SUITed Yes, I just made a card pun.

I think Mana Aida is the only likable Mary Sue. She might be OP be she surely inspires people and kinda teaches us how to not to be a jerk even when you're better than everyone else around you. In fact, I love Cure Heart so much I bought her figurine

Some overall thoughts on the review: 16:33 I'm glad you pointed this out but man the monsters of the week this season are really goofy. Even by precure standards. 16:55 If you think Joe is bad wait until you see blue. At lead Joe tried to guide them in the right direction. Doesn't stop him from being a creeper and having a major plot hole related to him but whatever. 34:43 I'm totally stealing the term Mana Harem. Lol. In all seriousness I would be much more comfortable with Mana if the writers weren't trying so hard to shop her with everyone. I get that in the interview they wanted aspirational characters but it really takes away from what we could see. 37:30 I'm sorry but I hate the powerup episode. I could buy Mana filling in for the team, but when Mana talks about teamwork and constantly goes in alone while not contacting anyone to save AI Chan I draw the line. Every cure could've gotten a nice moment with their power ups and it's wasted. The team is barely in the episode too. And they have the nerve to call it teamup episode? And the message really falls flat when you barely have the other members in it. Bleak. People can rag on Smile, but in that show at least the girls have their moments as a team.

Yes! One of my most favorite Precure of all time, watching this review bring me so much joy. I do love that I found out how the story could have been, it would've been better but I am happy with what we got. Oh and the Mana problem, I guess I have to wait till part 2 to see where this leads. Still very exciting to see this review, and the Doki Doki gang again, as I like to call them the Super Hero Precure team, because to me they are super heroes.

Yes! One of my favorite seasons!! I feel like this season gets more hate than it deserves....and in my opinion....I think this was a better season than Suite-----DON"T SHOOT I think Doki Doki PreCure would've been a better 10th anniversary season than Happiness Charge, not because I think Happiness Charge is a bad season, but the amount of call backs and references this season makes are really good!

This series was quite the chore from me to finish but I loved cure Rosetta and Ace initially I think it's pronounced RAH-KEL.

3:57 the colors on the clover match the colors of the cures.

it's Understandable when it come to alice really judging with how mutch of a role mana plays in her life

It’s the mana precure :P Well my favorite is cure sword :D I stoped wachting after kira kira but today I took the step to watch HUGtto. Precure. Stop the mana attack. :P Your so funny. I loved wachting this. Can’t wait for part 2. (I watched the whole season.)

I'll be blunt. Mana is definitely a better protagonist than Marinette!

I go swimming and i miss Dokidoki. My luck. It's weird that despite being very... I'd say mediocre Precure season, it was around the time when Dokidoki was still airing that i was introduced into the precure series and after finishing Suite i started following this one. And that was little over 5 years ago.

28:16 here’s mana’s horrible singing

I love that these are long! Idc it helps give a really good break down. So keep them as is Also it’s Cheryl: pronounced Share-rill, and Raquel is pronounced Rock-elle Also how exactly do you know episode 6 and 7 was meant to be mid season? They did have cure ace

Personal opinion: I think selfish ness is a cheaseier name than distain.

Favorite Moments: 5:10 (His Favorite Clip) 5:25 Coincidence? I Think NOT! 5:49 As It Joker Undead 6:22 Again? Coincidence 6:45 Not Related 7:46 👍 7:57 *HWAAAAAAAAAAAA* 8:48 Still Trauma For That? 9:31 Coincidence Counter: 3 11:04 Huuuuuuh?? What Are You Saying?! 14:24 *SPEAK THE GREEK BROTHER!!* 15:13 Screw the rules, I have money! 15:32 *DAMN YOU SPOILED KID!* 16:28 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 19:03 SHE'S REALLY DUMB 20:50 I Agree With You 23:11 Coincidence Counter: 4 & Literally Japan Was Weird 24:00 Oh No The Wall 27:45 Did Joker Predicted That? 28:03 uh.......... 31:32 Funny Face........ 32:37 & 33:02 Oh No Not The Bad Ending of School Days 33:34 Idol Fans In The Nutshell

To be honest Doki Doki is my favorite Precure season. (Even though I watched the dub and I haven't seen many Precure seasons so far.)

Nobody can hate the warm and sunny spot! The kind and friendly Cure Rosetta!

I actually really like Mana as a character

I personally think Makoto’s arc being rushed wasn’t so she can be in the All Stars movie. It was because they wanted to bring in Aichan quicker for marketing reasons.

5:29 for *K E N Z A K I*

Am I the only one who don’t think Ai-chan is cute? Let’s not say we compare her with Hugtan because that’s no competition at all. Let’s compare her to Chiffon, Potpourri or even Candy, am I right?

It was my first entry to the precure and I remember everyone was having fun with this season... Until that fateful episode that make little girl cry... And to be honest, I find people who dislike this season (at least when it aired) begin to dislike this season because of that decision on who to become (or to be precise, not become) Cure Ace, and then justifying their dissatisfaction by blaming the whole season as bad (like blaming Mana is Mary Sue, etc.). Only for them to get slap by HapCha next season which gives them an actual bad season. I personally like this season, though because you can feel the executive meddling by around mid-season even if you don't know the story behind the scene, it kinda hard to take the plot seriously (because you don't know whether it was actually meant that way, or the writer has to work around with restriction they are forced with). So I enjoy it kinda like how most people enjoy Smile, a fun and interesting concept, with flawed execution, but great character interactions to off-set its negative.

"It's sung by Miria" *Cuts imediatly to the opening *

I can't wait for the glitter force fans to be like with the new seasons that are dubed, this is a glitter force ripoff!!!

25:17 Then they must've been made a year ago : When the result for Best Girl 2017 came out.

16:31 i dont know what made me laugh more, the fact that he yelled it or what he actually said (yea im gonna keep posting about stuff and you cant stop me 😎)

I don't think I laughed so hard at a review you did before this one. This was so hilarious.

Arigato! (I don't know much Japanese)

7:50 also thats not blade, thats the one before it "faiz"

I started following you for your Delicious Party Pretty Cure retrospectives so I was curious on your thoughts on the last Pretty Cure I was following avidly. I am not disappointed. I love this Season and your sense of humor and criticisms help. Didn't know Doki Doki got the Glitter Force treatment as well. The parallels between Joe and Rosemary isn't as uncanny as I remembered but Rosemary and Cure Sword on the other hand... God, I didn't realize how much I missed Doki Doki and how much I wished Delicious Party was like Doki Doki.

Now that I think about it, in it's final moments, Saban pretty much became the new 4Kids, bankruptcy and all. Btw, does the new Power Ranger series look promising?

I'm excited for you to get to Go Princess because it's A: One of my personal favorites and B: It's ripe for Danganronpa jokes due to its themes of Hope and Despair and the fact you might need to watch out for a different Monaca...

Personal Opinion, Dokidoki Precure is a Mix-Bag, It's got good ideas, It's returning to the four member Team concept until the fifth Ranger comes in... But there are plenty of Flues, That being said, One of my Complaints are with Joe Okada... Not only did he Rip-off my name, But... Well, I'm kinda with half of you guys about him!!

7:46 maybe because mana is a big fan of kamen rider except of precure

And also, too late, I’ve already disturbed my neighbors with my laughter 😂

Also to make another reference to this series there a idol in Appmon. But she not as important as Makopi

Yeah, Ai-Chan’s presence makes me appreciate a patient and thoughtful baby like Hugtan even more.

And the English names of the fairies are Kippie,Rory,Lance, and Davi

29:17-29:22 = Cure Steiner

complaining that they are long!?!? you bless us with a lot of content

Mana....you never knew this monster’s gonna destroy everything eventually right?

Their Names in the English version are Maya,Rachel,Mackenzie,Clara, And Natalie lol

6:22 *NO THANK YOU, I'D RATHER NOT, LEMRES.*

Huh.... . That story about the prince and the bird sounds very similar to a certain other pink haired magical girl lead that was very popular at school and loved by almost everyone with a veteran teammate who was initially very dismissive of her.... . Although luckily Mana's story didn't end up nearly as tragic or heartbreaking

Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you! (Hey, it was inevitable alright?)

I dont get how this series was so popular. Not hating on people who love this season as its just my opinion but the season felt so messed up and rushed. The logic kinda made no sense in so many cases and felt like the characters could of been produced better (MANA NOT BEING A MARY SUE C-)

16:31 what did he say?

where can u watch the full precure episodes? like the japanese vers not glitter force

That's why I called the series Pretty Cure blade that wasn't trying to be a magical girl version of blade

14:55 diamonds Unbreakable JoJo reference

40:39 just Regina

The bunny fairy's name is supposed to be Sharuru, NOT Charles! Even this particular sub seems to have at least gotten a closer translation by presenting it as "Cheryl" unlike the other one which I personally feel is actually closer to Sharuru then that other one and establishes that she is in fact a she. Not that I have an issue with names like that being androgynous, but I feel this translation at least gets it a bit more right. Sorry for the rant.

Also I didn't know Ira was Mr stretch arm strong

What? No mention of the precure and fairies dropping TWO chandeliers on the villain

Augri already have a girlfreind so she's the only one I don't include in the mana harem

1:38 he wrote for Cowboy Bebop

I love Glitter Force. For Doki Doki they didn't cut any entire episodes.

Yay! Thanks!

2:15 *IT'S NOT WORKING!!! IT'S NOT WORKING AT ALL!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!*

I watched the entire Etotama anime and it was really funny

This is the season that killed momentum that could have been that work with could have been that look could have been that that bad next season is way more disappointment 10 anniversary it almost nearly killed the franchise again

Watching heartcatch atm. Is this worthwhile watching later

What your favorite pretty cure series? Mines is: 5 yes/5 and heartcatch Edit: 28:09 I didn’t know she sing in that OWO HOLY MOLY

I paused at the perfect moment in 5:09 her face lol

How Old is Cure Sword? = 39:40 - 39:44

Does Makoto know a certain Ultimate Hope? And did I hear a Hajime?

16:04 yeah..I mean come on all she is a blue hair intelligent girl while your the youngest of the villains and a boy at that. Theres no connection in this franchise to that idea.. 24:05 fucking knew you would bring that up although surprised you didn't say any joke overall. But enough jokes I do love Doki Doki. I will say of this era (DDPC, HCPC, and GPPC) it is my least favorite but I do think it's a good seasons if a little under the average of seasons after Futari Wa. Still the season opens well and I am very excited for next time. As for this review I am surprised to learn that Makoto was suppose to be introduced later and by god do I wish she was introduced later given then we wouldn't have to deal with her, it was very unnoticeable at first. As for Bell while I get the argument of turning him more goofy I found that as the season progresses he still is threatening just also comedic so not a stick in the mud boring villain and it's why he's easily my favorite this season. Anyway can't wait to see your thoughts on this seasons converses and good luck with that.

At 8:46 I paused at right moment now its perfect

9:13 look like somebody been play final fantasy 9.

No Digimon Universe Appli Monster is not that great.

5:32 TASHIBANASA

14:31😂😂😂16:30 the battery🔋

Come on! I LIKED the dub.

12:55 *BUU BUU DESU WA*

Do go princess precure on my birthday

And here we are, the first mediocre season of Precure before the onslaught of them, with some exceptions (Hopefully 3 with Star Twinkle). I can’t really say I like this season, in fact, I generally just don’t despite having a quirk or two. For me, it’s really hard to care for the team or their accomplishments because they are composed of overachievers, making them harder to relate compared to prior teams. That and the fact the significance for some of them were reduced as the season goes on thanks to two characters. I’ll go into more detail about that in the final part when we cover the characters but what became a decent start pretty much all goes downhill from here thanks to it’s convoluted and occasionally awkward plot with previous stated problems. And don’t get me started on it’s Pink Cure. Get used to people fawning over her for reasons that ranges from understandable to mundane because it’s going to get more aggravating from here. I get the reason for this is for her to be influential and show off her selflessness, as well as, breaking the mold of typical Pink Cure characteristics but it’s done in a way where the show makes it’s all about her practically all the damn time, which proved to be one of its biggest double edge sword. There’s a reason she’s called a “Mana-sue” among the fandom but more on her in Part 2......

15:58

Memelin in my precure? Great....

1:50

39:51

☺️💜💜💜💜💖💘👌🏼

I think a lot of people call mana a marry-sue and it make sense i just don't think she's the most likable out of the pink cures

....my least favourite season..seriously.

Bad

i do not like this cartoon
