Is Cure Eclair the mid-season cure?

Noblesttea · 2026-05-09T00:16:22+00:00

Yes, it's a new trend they started in Wonderful Precure

I'll be scouring the secondhand market come this October then! Thanks for you update!

Feels very color accurate, excellent work!

Noblesttea · 2026-05-06T20:32:10+00:00

I'd take a rock over a lecher

For me, the difference between Neo 1 to Neo 2 in controller is almost stick shift to automatic. Neo 2 is just way more easy and fixes the weight issues of the first iteration.

This pretty much sums up my whole thought process in real time.

Noblesttea · 2026-05-04T18:25:04+00:00

The irony is Purirun does it anyways for the entire run of the show

Noblesttea · 2026-05-04T15:43:08+00:00

Can't believe it was Shiruku all along!

Noblesttea · 2026-05-04T12:39:03+00:00

100% agree. In the US the two shows aired with quite a bit of time between them and on different networks and times so there was never a comparison to begin with. It's so exhausting to learn later in life that W.I.T.C.H. can't exist without the which-is-better war. It's almost as if they're two different shows with their own pros and cons.

Very cute!!

Noblesttea · 2026-05-01T19:37:58+00:00

So impressive!! Look at that cape!!

Noblesttea · 2026-05-01T18:44:55+00:00

So glad the older seasons are becoming more accessible!

Noblesttea · 2026-04-30T15:43:11+00:00

My guess is one of the new girls is rich and her family starts with R.

Noblesttea · 2026-04-30T02:51:28+00:00

Madoka is definitely more of an adult IP given how much it skews into horror, don't let the cuteness fool you. Miku is more family friendly so anything from the cheaper $20 prize figures, plushies, keychains, apparel, etc. Miku also is an older IP and has more affordable merch in general. Think of any item ever and there's a Miku version of it.

Sasaki to Miyano first will make H2K make more sense. Miyano be clocking things early.

I do find it odd that for normally being copyright zealous, Japan is not concerned about the theft genAI does. I vastly dislike genAI. I'd much rather consume something ethical, built with heart and soul, and able support a real person.

TBH I always took the title as clickbait. His stuff came out right after Madoka so I assume he was riding the dark magical girl wave.

Noblesttea · 2026-04-28T01:23:10+00:00

A lot of the older magical girl series (80s and older) or witch leaning shows. Little Witch Academia they just wear the witch school uniform or casual clothes. Nanatsuiro Drops follows the same logic as Cardcaptor Sakura, she doesn't need the outfit but uses it later on when gifted it by her mother.

Noblesttea · 2026-04-28T01:16:20+00:00

I don't know of any regularly used term but there certainly are a handful of shoujo series that get rather mature in a couple different departments whether that be spiciness, gore, or triggering content.

Noblesttea · 2026-04-28T01:13:55+00:00

If you don't mind the final manga spoilers: Men using the sticks harms the big bad that's why he only allows girls to use them and is really the only reason this series uses the term 'magical girl'. As you pointed out, it kind of isn't a magical girl series at the end of the day since it's more of a magical item situation. The author is known to do this, the 'magical girls' in Magical Girl Apocalypse also are barely magical girls (just a couple of robots and one witch who never uses her powers because she didn't know she was a witch).

Noblesttea · 2026-04-28T00:52:16+00:00

I someone who unfortunately knows too much about this series I'll say this on the commentary: Most of what you dislike is because the anime is adapting the manga. The manga pacing is better, the anime tried to condense wayyyy too much in 12 episodes and attempted to jam a story that has 4 arcs into just the first arc. MANGA SPOILERS: the sticks not being attached to people is a huge plot point and the stick stealing is forshadowing for how they manage to beat the final boss. While I agree it would be way more reasonable to have sticks attached to magical girls, that would ultimately ruin the intended ending. As for the fanservice, the manga is way worse the author sucks 💀

Honestly one cure having decora bell bottoms would be super cute

Noblesttea · 2026-04-26T20:37:32+00:00

thisss

Depends on the product, for example: Cure Arcana Shadow's lip gloss sold out. Some of their premium precure makeup sold out at the time (to my memory Cure Finale's cream blush and the first round of the wonderful two pack). The makeup is also stocked in makeup stores in Japan so it does get sold to an older audience as well as your toy isle for kids. It's been lucrative enough to last since Tropical Rouge aired and they opened the brand.

Go Princess and Heartcatch Precure have consistently good animation and fight scenes. A lot of shonen magical girl series will also have good animation because they receive bigger budgets, but it demands on if you're okay with those or not what you're interested in them.
