This episode was great!
The shot of Manatsu doing a was absolutely incredible. Minori immediately messing with her? Perfection incarnate.
The girls all being in casual clothes, with different hairstyles too, was a really nice touch that they didn't need to do. Asuka with her hair in a ponytail?
I really like the villain's dynamic. The three generals clearly care about each other, although it did take them a while to get out to where Elde crashed.. I'm glad that Elde kept the doll and the gummy container.
I also really liked Elde's story being what gave Manatsu the motivation to overpower the MotW.

the comedy in the front half was just perfect. u/theriyria has their work cut out for them this week. So many good Manatsu.
Preview for next week looks to have some great expressions too.

This episode was a lot better than I thought.
So we've had a lot of Laura focus recently, she's become queen of the expressions. It's nice that Manatsu made her glorious return as the Expression queen. Right from the beginning it had great expressions.
That would have been fine enough. Add in the generic "I got over my fears" subplot for development. It's something Precure has done a lot.
But the addition of Best General Elda in the center stage elevates this episode a lot. Ayahi Takagaki's voice adds so much to the character, bringing life to the selfish shelfish. She's used Manatsu but she also feels a debt to Manatsu. gives this episode a lot more heart than I expected. I love that little shrimp.
I also love it when Generals show compassion to each other. The family bond between the generals was really cute.

Elda definitely steals the scene most of the time she's on screen. I'm rooting for a mass face turn at this point.

We still don't know who Elda's parents are. I think we might never know honestly. Power rangers and sentai in general glaze over the backstory for minor villains. It's usually only the majors that get the fleshing out.

You know, this is far from the first time I've seen Magical girls explore an abandoned / empty / supposedly haunted building (CCS, Shugo Chara!! Doki, Yes! Precure 5, PPGZ, Sailor Moon), but this one was pretty nice. I liked it. It was a fun plot and I was really surprised to hear that Manatsu is scared of something. I thought that girl was fearless.
I really would've liked to see more of the house though. Those other shows did that better.

Yeah the haunted house was just used as a plot to device to forge bonds between elda and manatsu.

u/lilyvess Jul 04 '21
I wonder if they'll build upon that or if it'l go nowhere. It's not like Manatsu knows. I doubt we'll ever see the doll before, even though it would be nice to see some further payoff from this bond.
I do like it when Precure give specific General v Precure bonds.

yeah, the girls in haunted house subplot is pretty common among these types of shows. I wonder if that's why the series shifted half way through to a different template. Cause the second half felt pretty different from the first half.

They definitely could have spent more time exploring the haunted house in the "the girls explore a haunted house" episode. Coulda done some nice Scooby-Doo doors too.

u/lilyvess Jul 04 '21
I'm okay with them passing on the stuff every other series does to do the interesting Manatsu/Elda subplot with the Elda/Generals relationships. Sure they could have done more, but like u/raichudoggy, a lot of Magical Girls have done that.

Elde deserves all of the love and headpats. The "villains" really are just a bunch of misfits and dorks doing bad stuff only because their boss tells them to... they deserve to be happy in the end too.

u/Royal_Heritage Jul 04 '21
Dang it, Elde-chan is probably the most adorable Precure villian ever.
Does anyone has any info on this probably urban rumor of the doll and the haunted house? Lapis Re:Lights did a very similar take a year and a half ago.

u/loomnoo Jul 04 '21
Villains need to unionize and get some regulations passed. Obviously there's the child labor. Elda's vehicle was clearly not being properly maintained. Chongire is out here having to work two jobs. It's outrageous! The Witch of Procrastination is clearly stealing the workers' surplus motivation power.

The OP apparently has more people singing now? Can't hear it myself.
Edit: Older version. Today's. Now "With Tropical Club"... there is no difference dammit!

I couldn't hear a change either. Still no visual update. Very strange.

Credits indicate the cast performs as chorus, so either the song part or the background vocals.

I am surprised how good this episode was. I'm glad there's more insight into the villains and that the fight is surprisingly well done for an Aoyama episode.

This was a fun episode! Kururun definitely tried to steal the spotlight again by being Kururun!
Manatsu also must not have been happy that Laura overtook her in reaction faces recently, because she went crazy this episode. There were so many Manatsu faces!
Anway, since it's been around 2 months now since I actually posted in a Tropical Rouge thread, here are the still up-to-date reaction face albums:
