Do you think the recent Precure pattern will hold and 2024 will be a bit disappointing?
2019 -
Star Twinkle - AMAZING
2020 -
Healin' Good - Ehhh.
2021 -
Tropical - WOW!
2022 -
Delicious - Meh.
2023 -
Sky - Fantastic!
2024 -
Wonderful - ???
All I know from the title logo is that it's going to involve dogs somehow. There's usually spoiler stuff out there by now, but I don't really like knowing that stuff.
Honestly, I'm a bit worried not just because of the pattern, but because the subject could easily be very mundane and that seems to influence the general quality of the show or at least my enjoyment of it. Star Twinkle had the entire galaxy and aliens, Tropical had the underwater mermaid world and Sky has medieval bird people from another dimension.
This could be a kemono-like thing, but it could also just be that the girl(s) work at a pet shop or something else simple.
I hope the pattern is broken...

I hope they're kemono and not working with dogs...

I'd like to say that I'm gonna hold off on making any judgements, but honestly I agree with you. Maybe it'll depend more on the characters than the topic, iunno.

I don't know because I haven't seen anything about it, but according to the pattern it should be better than this year's. Stinkle is the only time an experimental year has somewhat worked and that's mostly thanks to Lala.

Fine, I bet five gacha rolls on it being good.

>>3593Are you saying you prefer Healin' Good and Delicious over the others I listed?
AND DID YOU SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT SKY PRECURE??
No.3597
>>3596Healin' Good's problems come almost entirely from COVID making them cut out a hefty chunk of the episodes and the weird, unintentional(?) abortion metaphor. Even then, it's still a solid season with good characters and designs.
Delicious is boring as sin whenever they talk about food, which is a lot, and it's a tragedy they ruined purple's look so hard so early, but the romance and overall implementation of the boys was interesting. I'm surprised kissu doesn't like the fatass MC more.
Hirogaru is heretical and Sora is not strong enough to save it from the weight of its sins.

>>3601not so cute when you take it as an allegory for him marrying an former single mother...
No.3605
>>3603That's a weird take. The fox wasn't even her kid, she was just helping take care of it while they stayed there. It's more like helping raise a cousin or younger sibling, which is good wife training.

>>3597Healin' Good was in general too bleak and depressing for me, and the characters like the rapping rat were ugly and infuriating (and not in the good villainy way). Covid was a terrible coincidence, but even if that never happened it still would have been a bad subject matter for Precure if you ask me.
>I'm surprised kissu doesn't like the fatass MC more.They had to do really poorly for me to reject something as appealing as cute girls cooking and eating, but... they did. The potential savior of the show was Chinese Myne (she really had the same exact voice), but she wasn't given enough of a focus. She was genuinely funny and entertaining, which could not be said about the other Precures.
Also that flamboyantly gay guy as some sort of quasi-mascot was annoying.
No.3614
>>3613they overdid the hanya stuff with her
also it would have been cool if she had a romance with that guy who called her weird
No.3615
delicious was so boring that one time last week's week episode was streamed by accident but nobody picked up on it because there wasn't anyone watching it
No.3617
>>3613I thought the illness theme was a good familiar evil and Nodoka being a frail, quiet girl was a great departure from the normal genki retard pinks. I do like when they have more serious moments, though.
I wasn't a fan of Mari either, but it wasn't enough to ruin the show. I liked Yellow and thought she got enough attention, but the others weren't bad. Delicious is pretty much as low as it can go and still keep me watching, but it did at least hit that bare minimum.

Dogs are good. I like dogs.
I guess the mascots and girls forming cure duos might be neat? A bit of Futari Wa in there if they need to work in concert.
Two blues is good. Designs are solid outside of the dogcure. Blonde hair is for yellow cures, stop trying to make them off-brand pinks.
Really hoping those nine animals at the top don't mean 9 (18?) more cures.

actual mascots since they're different from the
dogcure and i assume

>>3798>ike the Sky Precure characters could walk into the scene and it wouldn't look out of placeI don't know, everyone would probably be asking about why they all seems to have perpetual colds. I'd say it's more similar to Healing Good in terms of art than HS. Though, all of them have the same
precure general look to them.
No.3801
>>3799Yeah, after I made the post I started thinking that it looked more like Healin Good or Delicious, but those weren't in my mind at the time. This between-year shows look pretty similar to each other now that I think about it.
I'm just trying to find reasons to cope with Sky Precure being over I guess. The more I look at Sky Precure screenshots the less similar it is. oh, well. It can still be great, it just won't look as stylish.

>>3820I was worried a bit at first that we were going into an off-year like with Healing Good but this has been a pleasant surprise in how enjoyable it's been. The animation is nice and colorful and bouncy, which gives a really energetic feel to the entire anime.
>and the main girl seems adequately dumbThis is where I see the most potential in this season. The second episode went on to make a point about keeping her Precure identity a secret, but with how baka she is I wonder how long that will really stay secret. Would be another breaking of the mold to have the precure identity be an open secret and possibly make for fun world.
No.3822
>>3820Its fun, but the cast's not as sexy as Tropical Rouge or hirogaru sky. They also kind of look derivative, like remixes of other cures.
I'm a big fan of Mayu, though.
No.3823
>>3820>who will be the fifthHopefully no one. The quality always tanks when they add a fifth cure. Don't even joke about another boycure.
I like how the dog is a scatterbrain, but they should have used that as an opportunity to make the owner less of a baka than normal instead of doubling the number of pinks.
Chasing the enemy around instead of fighting is novel, but also kind of boring. I never thought I'd miss the stock footage solve-everything-beams
, but they're a lot more exciting than the enemy just rolling over from the weight of their sympathy.
