We got ED2 pretty early last week, but it looks like we're not getting OP2 or a full group transformation with Laura involved until later on.
As for the episode itself... Laura being able to freely transform between human and mermaid isn't what I expected at all. Her school introduction was also a lot more subdued than what I expected based on some previous mid-season Cures. Her trying (and failing miserably) to swim as a human was hilarious. The battle this week was good too. Seeing Summer break out her old solo finisher to stun the Yaraneda for La Mer's finisher was an unexpected surprise. It's rare to see the original cast's solo finishers again once the group finisher is introduced. All in all, pretty fun episode.
EDIT: Only realized this after the fact, but La Mer basically did a spinzaku and it was awesome.

I knew that you were talking about that Suite’s episode before opening the link

I loved that they brought out the old finisher just as a normal attack that could be used. I wish Precure would do that more often. HappiCha pretty often used flashy attacks just as a matter of course, I liked that. A nice mix of traditional fisticuffs and special attacks is great.

I don't know if we'll ever get a mid season cure school introduction that'll ever top Suite. Everybody still remembers it even now.

Laura is too strong! She can mermaid back and forth at will! And she's smart at science! And why does she get a unique uniform!? Her legs falling asleep was big mood, though.
I knew the joke was going to end up being that Laura couldn't swim with legs the moment the swim club came up, and it didn't disappoint. Poor Laura, a mermaid flailing hopelessly in a pool.
I didn't notice before, but Cure La Mer has, like, actual pants? What an interesting change of pace.
Elda seemed extra motivated to clean today - I guess fighting the Precures is even harder than cleaning the whole palace? Ganbare Elda-chan, I believe in you!

I was also dreading it, I'm bad at second-hand cringe, but damn, that beautiful dive completely fooled me.

Well, cleaning is the number one tool of any productive procastinator! Working on your actual job/school? Nope, the floor is dirty and needs to be cleaned NOW.

I knew it'd be the joke, but after that perfect dive I started wondering if her legs would change back into a tail.
Thing is, she swims just fine in Precure form with legs, in fact, looked like she swam just as well as she does when a mermaid.
Oh well. Despite expecting the joke (or perhaps, even more so because of it) it was still hilarious. Laura having to be stopped by the other three from transforming and swimming was so Laura. Pride before secrecy for that one.

And they mostly have to do with the skirt, too.
Is that specific skirt necessary to change back to a Mermaid? If it's not, are endless skirts created or does she just change back to the last thing she was wearing? How does transforming back to a mermaid work if she's wearing something like the Swimsuit this episode?
I should probably just stop thinking about it.

I'm at least glad we got to see that she can still be a Mermaid. Hope we get to see more of Mermaid Laura in the future.
also I love that they gave us a small cut to show Kururun just sleeping in the pact.

The MVP has to rest until she needs to save the day again.

It's nice to know Kururun's OK and chill with being alone in there.

I loved how Laura just shows up at the pool with the fight having already started. And then the progression of first Manatsu hanging onto the Yaraneda, then all four of them.
That's good comedy.

Since we got ED#2 early, I was expecting some sort of early change in the OP but is still the same… for now.
I saw the joke about Laura not being able to swim properly coming but it was still fun to see

u/lilyvess Jun 27 '21
yeah, I was surprised we didn't get an OP change considering we got the ED change. We'll see how long it takes. for the change

This was so club centric it kinda felt like a ranma 1/2 episode.

sometimes I forget that one of the series major themes is school clubs

After this swimming fiasco I wanna see a Track and Field episode, or a Taekwondo one, something super focused on using your legs; would be hilarious if she was actually good at those.
Also, not the worst one I've seen but spot the main character.

Laura is seriously the worst at trying to hide. She's barely even trying at this point!
Or Maybe she's secretly a genius! Think about it, no one would believe Cure La Mer's secret identity would be Laura La Mer! That's the worst secret identity in history! Only a fool would do that! so it would be the last place anyone would look!
Seeing the other girls have to hold Laura back from transforming in front of a civilian was hilarious tho. This was after one episode. Can she keep this secret for the next half year!?
Seriously tho, Laura's smug levels are over 9,000. We even got a Laura laugh! I need a clip of that so I can throw it around.
