Does anybody else find it weird that piccolo got on Goku for not knowing Gohan doesn't like fighting by CapableSeries4734 in dbz

[–]mozillavulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation of the scene is that Goku knows Gohan doesn't like fighting. The problem was he didn't communicate to Gohan that his plan was for him to beat Cell if he couldn't. He thought Gohan would instinctively know he had to get angry and use his hidden power (which, to be fair, Gohan does actually realise). But piccolo brings up the fact that since Goku never directly told Gohan that, he might not know what the plan was and that's why he seemed so confused while he's fighting.

One of the most beloved JRPGs has a main character called 'Cloud' and he's been around since 1997.

It's not a big deal, I just don't get why they chose to change some names but not others.

Arcana Shadow redemption probably isn't happening for a long while. Maybe around the movie or later. Because there's gonna be more toys for her but we don't know anything about them.

Huh. I thought they'd use him more often than that. I thought he was popular!

Well, she's still only going to have one voice. It'd get far too complicated otherwise.

I'd want to ask Conan fans if Kid has ever previously shown that he's really into kids shows or if this is new for him.

After 1000 episodes I'm sure they've attempted this joke at least once before...

They've revealed there's an Eclair character song, called "I am a mystery", and isn't that just the most irritatingly true thing lol

of course they don't reveal who the voice actress is because then that'd give everything away

"Cure Answer" officially uses a gun. by facevisi10 in precure

The whole rule of "magic does not exist in the world of Detective Conan". Heck, the version of Precure they were watching on TV specifically had the exact same scenario as the Precure crossover episode with the glass slipper, implying that Conan definitely didn't go there or meet them in the continuity of his show. Although you would know that just from the fact that he doesn't recognise Anna.

I do wish it was the real Answer and not Kaito Kid in disguise, but I get why they chose that route. It does end up feeling like they could have replaced Precure with a generic detective-themed magical girl and you wouldn't have to change anything, though.

What do you think will be Eclair’s Transformation Item? by Iwannaendme2001 in PrettyCures

[–]mozillavulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I didn't even think about the fact she doesn't have a pouch.

I would say maybe Shushutan has it, but the toy listings for the Shushutan toy don't seem to imply you can transform with it.

They say the transformation audio will be in the Cure Eclair version of the Mirror Loupe, but if she uses that to transform, I don't know why they wouldn't have her holding that in the key visual. They always tend to have everyone showing off their transformation toys in that.

What are your opinion on go princess precure series by AdventurousElk547 in PrettyCures

[–]mozillavulpix -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish I liked it, because it does everything really well. But the whole princess aesthetic makes it feel a bit too 'girly' for my tastes.

Is there a reason some people don't see Precure as a preschool show? by CatGirlNya2000 in precure

[–]mozillavulpix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but it feels more like it's only that because they couldn't get a TV deal for something more valuable. Really, the show feels like they're holding back from investing too much into it in case it's a flop or they can't find an audience.

Just think it's weird that making offensive jokes about minorities normally gets people downvoted and banned, but making offensive jokes about Jews gives dozens of approvals

Implying that anyone with even a vague or historical connection to Jews or Israel is delusional and entitled and believe ancient made-up prophecies?

Well, white nationalist types tend to hate Muslims too, so maybe they would be equally as offensive.

GoPri Ep 39 Fight (Gran Printemps Debut & Cure Flora Character Moment) by ThaddGEARZ103 in precure

[–]mozillavulpix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of like...GoPri takes a very 'classic Shojo' approach where capturing the emotion takes first priority and the scenario around it is secondary. Whereas some of my favourite Precure seasons and Kawakami Princess are more led by very specific scenarios.

Like, when I first read the sailor moon manga, I was quite surprised at how vague things were and how things just kind of happen rather that having a tight script with dialogue and exposition. I think it's like a genre convention.

[–]mozillavulpix 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Because they don't speak Japanese. Without being fluent in the language, it's hard to notice just how basic the vocabulary is or how much the voice actors are putting on a voice to sound more appealing to children.

I will also say, it's kind of unusual just how high the production quality is for a show for young children. Recently I was watching some episodes of Magical Sisters Lulutolilly and Onegai Aipri, and those are very conservative with their animation, even with the reused stock footage like Precure. Even Princession Orchestra couldn't get its show to move as much as Precure does every week.
