Smile Precure Discussion Thread

So, Mother's Day. Huh.

Also, that fight. Damn. The show really can pull it out when it wants to. More like that please.

[RZetlin]

Today is a Mother's Day episode.

At Precure HQ, the girls are creating their own Mother's Day present when Miyuki realize she doesn't have one. (We also get to see Candy use the toy of week to make necklaces.)

Miyuki decides to help her mother out with the chores. Miyuki's mothers name is Ikuyo who looks a lot like her daughter.

Miyuki is still a clumsy girl and ends up messing up the house chores, but Ikuyo seem to have a patient and calm personality. (Though we still do not know Ikuyo does for a living)

Miyuki heads back to the HQ still not too sure what kind of gift to give to her mother when the toy of the week Candy is using comes into play. (Remember kids bug your parents to buy this toy for Mother's Day!)

The girls heads out to buy a Mother's Day card when Wolfurun shows up. The girls transform and fight. We get a red-nose Akanbe this time. The group fight is probably the best I have seen so far in the series.

With the bad guys defeated, Miyuki gives her necklace to her mother and all this well. (What happened to the Mother's Day card?!)

Huh, this one was a red nose. I thought they had one or two more of those left. *checks* Yeah, I believe the villain received five blue noses, and the first one was in episode 12, so there should still be two more.

Anyway, the highlights of the episode were everyone struggling to think of something Miyuki was good at and Cure Peace finding a new way to shock herself while she attacks thus giving the animators a reason to give her new biribiri faces.

The girls (Miyuki, Akane, Yayoi and Nao) are a little down because they failed one test in a particular subject.

The only one who aces the tests is Reika who is a role model as student.

The girls then wonder why they need to study at all since they won't need them for their futures.

Reika then questions herself as to what she wants to do with her future because she took on these extracurricular activities because she was asked to.

Taking advice from her grandfaher, Reika takes some time off from these extracurricular activities to find herself.

Reika ends up spending time with each of the girls to find out what they do with their free time.

Meanwhile Joker tries to help out Akaoni by providing him stacks of books on the Precures, but Akaoni got bored. Akaoni gets the idea he would not have to study if just beat the Precures and heads off.

Miyuki, Akane, Yayoi and Nao ponders on Reika situation when Akaoni shows up to fight.

The girls transform and get ready for battle Akaoni pulls out a red-nose and creates a quiz book Akanbe.

The Akanbe ask questions that the girls cannot get and they get trapped. (There was a similar monster in Suit Precure!)

Maybe the girls should have asked Cure Blossom and Cure Moonlight for help.

Reika shows up and transforms to Cure Beauty and gets the all the questions correct and defeats the Akanbe.
(Remember it pays to study for your education - you never know if you need it to fight a quiz monster.)

Reika ends up telling the girls how studying can help them with their specific strengths.


----------------------------------
Next episode is a stand-up comedy competition (Manzai). Since Osakans are known for comedy this episode is built for Akane!

Reika, you are so adorably, hilariously, wonderfully perfect.

I liked how Nao jumped right in and understood what she was doing.

And then Reika was totally badass at the end!

Time to catch up on this!

Episode 13:

- Miyuki is extra hyper today jeeze.
- I like seeing different shows visit the same field trip places. Watching this Rokuonji bit reminds me of K-ON!!'s visit to the same.
- Today is doing its best to test Miyuki's happiness. Into the water she goes!
- Oh my fucking what the hell THIS IS TERRIFYING.
- A bird shits on her head. Haha poor Miyuki.
- It just keeps piling on.

- Miyuki is rather pretty with her hair down.
- Nao's is down too~ Ah this is what I love about these out of school episodes. Nee mysteries and wonders to behold!
- ...Miyuki has a crush on Peter Pan. That takes a special kind of weirdo.

- Precuring time! Pika pika pikarin, jankenpon! I win with rock!
- And smiles and happiness and friendship win the day. Shocking!

Episode 14:

- Akane is really excited to be Reika's first. RBG! RBG!
- Meanwhile Yayoi goes into RPG-mode. Yayoi obtains candy!
- She and Miyuki also keep getting fed by suspicious Oosakan ladies.
- Awww no kitsune udon for Nao.
- This show really plays fast and loose with whether Candy has to be hidden from other people or not. Sometimes they make a big deal of it, other times she just yaps loudly in the middle of a busy public place.
- And more candy for Hero Yayoi and Hero Miyuki.
- Oh god, those ladies are totally stalking Yayoi and Miyuki.

- The entire tower becomes the Akanbee >_>
- Pika pika pikarin, jankenpon! I win again, with paper! No experience points for you, Yayoi!
- "Our attacks don't work against the blue-nosed Akanbee!" Yes, you've known this for at least three episodes now.
- RGB level up! Now they can fly! Heh, poor Nao, they just had to be bug wings.
- And finally Hero Yayoi and Hero Miyuki are rescued by their princesses.

Episode 15:

- Oh man Miyuki's mom is adorable. <3
- What is Miyuki good at? ... ... ...Optimism?
- Uh, I guess it's nice you want to make something for your mother, but she's a grown woman so kids' jewelry isnt going to work very well.
- Pika pika pikarin! Jankenpon! I throw scissors and go 3 for 3 against Yayoi tonight! I'm a pro.
- Oh shit, Akane got totally badass when cheering Miyuki up about the crappy necklace. Fuck yeah Akane!

Too cute... need more of Miyuki's mom! She should become a Precure too!

[something]

Episode 16:

- Ooh looks like a Reika episode.
- Overreact much, Reika? And how do you "quit studying"?
- Pika pika pikarin! Jankenpon! And... it's a tie, double rock.
- "Watashi Cure Sunny." ...
- Tokugawa Ienantoka, the most powerful shogun in history!

Reika, you might have the least personality of any of the girls but I still love you, and you're so cool when fighting~
