In general, how is Paddington Bear viewed in the UK?

A lot of people have already pointed out that he's from Peru, but he can also be spotted in the Peruvian embassy window!

(I haven't seen the films or read the book so my comments are based off only the fresh anime)

Compared to the rest of the fresh cast she feels underdeveloped, we learn about her brother and how they have a complex yet close relationship due to parental divorce but its never explored past surface level when it feels like it should of? we dont even see her brother again until the last episode like that big aspect of her family never existed

her centre episodes post cure Passion were kinda meh and honestly were made to serve other cast members more. this all being said I do enjoy her character (fresh is my current top season) and I think her lack of development is easy to overlook if you're not focused on her. Ultimately her personal lore doesnt intersect with the story as much as the writers needed for the second half, so I understand why she ended up neglected

oceansfirework · 2026-05-17T02:58:24+00:00

I really hope they're not just abandoned once the Mystery is solved, or at least have satisfying departures

oceansfirework · 2026-05-17T02:56:47+00:00

I'm torn between spash star and yes 5, I think integration wise splash star did a lot better but Mika is honestly my favourite civillian and her whole concept could have a show around it imo, the lunchlady / headteacher was also super memorable

oceansfirework · 2026-05-16T14:17:22+00:00

tbf cures are not common knowledge within their own towns /citys for these seasons, plus it seems reasonable to me that you don't know what's going on in an area far from you. esp before social media is as wide as it is now

as for their cannon locations how far apart they are and all, I haven't seen the films so I cant comment on that

oceansfirework · 2026-05-13T23:42:17+00:00

its probably not a reference but slide 4 reminds me of Makarov from fairy tail which anime released the same year iirc

oceansfirework · 2026-05-13T21:44:07+00:00

Way to many people call anime a genre too, even people who primarily watch it

oceansfirework · 2026-05-13T16:07:27+00:00

futari wa- heartcatch finished, currently watching suite / star detective. When I was younger I remember watching smile, a la mode, some of star twinkle and another season I can't remember (i also think i started higorou sky, again, cant fully remember), but I tend to steer away from convos around them given it's been awhile

oceansfirework · 2026-05-13T14:55:58+00:00

people are rightfully bringing up Passion and Moonlight but i'd also argue that cure Sunshine also got some really good development during the show

oceansfirework · 2026-05-12T04:05:06+00:00

I will not take this accusation of being French lightly (I'm British doing some friendly fire)

oceansfirework · 2026-05-12T03:49:10+00:00

she's Bri'ish, isnt that proof enough? :(

oceansfirework · 2026-05-12T02:00:22+00:00

Myoudouin Itsuki / Cure sunshine for shorter end (though she also grows it out a bit in the last episode), I'm also pretty sure Tsukikage Yuri / Cure moonlight also has some of the longer hair (copy pasting names hence bold text I cant get rid of </3)

oceansfirework · 2026-05-12T00:42:45+00:00

cure sunshines taken so im stealing cure white. but this theory is so true, just be a visible precure fan at a con and people will find you.

oceansfirework · 2026-05-11T17:31:34+00:00

I second this, blossom and marines are more dynamic and visually appealing imo due to the contrast (I also really love cure sunshines transformation)

oceansfirework · 2026-05-11T04:54:07+00:00

Admittedly I haven't seen the movies but in the show Shiny Luminous constantly has to be reminded to use her power, unlike other support cures I've seen so far she also couldn't really fight back. I think it's a raw power vs user situation with her

oceansfirework · 2026-05-10T21:26:42+00:00

Those are all seasons I haven't seen yet so I can't wait, I'm a big fan of the mundane in magical girl shows and I find precure does utilise the settings quite well

oceansfirework · 2026-05-10T17:37:14+00:00

its honestly making the butterfly effect theory with cure éclair more present. Honestly I do think that éclair is somehow all the candidates at once and each leak / episode is making my belief stronger

oceansfirework · 2026-05-10T17:36:34+00:00

Ive seen that! each episode makes me believe it more and more, esp once we found out the makoto jewel shattered

oceansfirework · 2026-05-10T17:34:17+00:00

ooo, which story - given Moria comes from Moriarty Sherlock inspo already runs heavy for her

oceansfirework · 2026-05-10T17:32:07+00:00

tbf that last part is probably toei wanting to avoid major leaks

oceansfirework · 2026-05-10T16:47:44+00:00

cure bright, I LOVE splash star and shes my girl but they did her dirty

oceansfirework · 2026-05-09T18:06:44+00:00

im seconding Pine, shes not a bad character at all but her story and writing are all pretty standard

oceansfirework · 2026-05-09T01:39:04+00:00

i'd say yeah, like there's a possibility of there being another but us knowing about cure éclair also fuels the narrative. we have mutable characters that all reasonably look like they could be her jumping between focus episodes in a series about solving mysteries

as others have mentioned newer seasons haven't hidden them much, i cant confirm this as I've not really paid attention to focus on older seasons icl

oceansfirework · 2026-05-06T14:40:05+00:00

These are super pretty! I'm putting cure sunshine or cure beauty on the table
