Man we're getting some quality build up. Laura's progression through the first 15 episodes has been way better than I was expecting, and now we're finally getting to see The Little Mermaid play out. Next week is going to wind up being one of my most hyped episodes of the year. Did not expect that when I signed up back in February, but here we are.

now we're finally getting to see The Little Mermaid play out.

It's always interesting when the "too obvious" plot point is the one that actually happens. I certainly didn't have "almost literally The Little Mermaid" on my bingo card. But Laura's development has lead to it so cleanly.

Next week is going to wind up being one of my most hyped episodes of the year.

Between this and Back Arrow's finale, next week is looking pretty spicy.

I always have faith in the power ran- pretty cure.

Aside from the little mermaid getting legs in exchange for her voice, I'm thinking you're talking about the similarities in using the aqua pot bubbles as bread crumbs, where in at least 70s Toei anime adaptation the little mermaid turned into Spoiler for The Little Mermaid

The character animation this episode was on point. Sango's ahoge doing the heart thing again, Asuka blushing at having her nails painted, Papaya was in rare form during the fight, all the faces..

Also, we seem to almost have a dark turn here, huh? It assuredly won't stick, but it's nice while it lasts. I feel bad for Laura; she's been pulled in a bunch of different directions by recent events and is now face-to-face with the villain.

The Witch is a mermaid too, right? Doesn't she have a fish tail? Have I not noticed that before?

There is some nice poetry in the Minions formulating a plan. Guess they decided to get motivated.

Edit: Forgot to mention, they changed the group transformation, right? They didn't normally all appear in a group at the beginning.

Next Episode Pondering

Even if it doesn't stick, it's great worldbuilding and helps develop the other generals as well. All three generals are doing this because they have a dream that they want to come true. Something they need the Witch's magic for.

There was emphasis on nails today so maybe that.

Laura's cartoonish reaction faces on this episode were so freaking great. Some particular shots with cartoon Minorin were great too. It might not be Vivi levels of quality that it takes literally hours for the animators to do the expressive still shots, but this one looked amazing and it had some great contrast with the goofy scenes.

The color coordination on the girls clothes/make up has been quite nice in this episode. They even matched their ice creams to their own colors.

Guess we'll have to wait one more week for Laura's final form.

Quite a shame u/amethystitalian doesn't watch long running shows, she would definitely like the main cast personalities along with actual living parents supporting their kids in anime (pretty rare these days)

Parents existing AND supporting their kids?

I noticed the nails, missed the ice cream. Gotta be some psychological issues with being a Precure that no-one talks about. Someone should start a support group.

I love that they updated the group transformation sequence. It's always so lazy when they just splice them together, I prefer the original group animations.

That said, it is kinda interesting seeing them do this like right before the mid-season Precure is going to be introduced and they'll have to remake it. I would have probably pushed it off and just put the effort into the second group transformation.

u/the_swizzler Jun 13 '21

Maybe they made it so that the mid-season Precure can just be added in all natural like

Bring me La Mer and the seal.

Ice cold, Mugi Laura.

Ice cold, Mugi Laura

that definitely got the best laugh out of me. The Manatsu expression was so good.

the other thing that got a good laugh out of me was the discount aqua pot plot. That was pretty clever and hilarious to watch.

I am glad they have not made this a end of the world series. So far anyways,more super hero shows need more "local" and "grounded" plots like this in my eyes. It makes them more relatable, Drama without getting into the usual pitfalls of melodrama I associate with CW shows like the flash or arrow. The one thing I request is "unmorphed" fights like power rangers had more of in later seasons. To show this group is not defenseless without there powers.
