tfw want lossless jpg but my encoder does not support it.
means Toei will continue with precure
BURAKKU
Who do you want voicing the fairy next year?
>>133960556
Hummy and Candy were once magical girls themselves.
So...Tange Sakura?
But ah, if we do get not-Salem then... Suwabe Junichi...?
>>133956194
All Stars news in case anyone misses it.
>>133960556
Yukari Tamura. Not a Cure. Not a main fairy. A fairy that shows up in two episodes. Because I care about Toei's budget.
>>133960895
They didn't give a shit when they put Nana-sama in as the Pink.
Nee-san! did you of you do these Balala subs? I'm only 7 minutes in, and it needs a lot of work.
It amuses me how violence in Precure is largely accepted but nudity and sex aren't.
Seriously, what's wrong with Toei?
>>133961305
any of you* wow, my typing skills suck at 6 in the morning. However, the timing issues still persist.
>>133961321
Little girls like violence more than nudity.
>>133961321
>violence is largely accepted but nudity and sex aren't
go watch GoT
>>133961321
This isn't some ecchi teenage boy series.
>>133961321
Nudity and sex are fine. Exploitation and creepyness is not. Plenty of Precure seasons and other forms of little girl anime use nudity to an advantage, plenty also use it as an exploitation of women to get male viewers, this is not ok.
An example is the shower scenes in Fresh Precure, these take a lot of influence from bathroom scenes from French art cinema, however when done through other anime like Jewelpet, they just become weird voyeur moments, not accurately capturing the thoughts behind the scene's he's trying to emulate. Little girl anime writing is just not of the standard that can use these topics well enough to correctly justify their inclusion. Another topic is the woefully terrible "lophie" scenes and their justification when they were revealed for Pri Para. Terrible writing, terrible execution and terrible justification. It's pure voyeur tripe at this moment in time.
>>133961422
Umm I'm sorry, Contrary to what shippers say Leona and Sophie have a very sweet, but pure relationship. There's no overt romantic interest. If you're talking about the infamous ending that's another subject in my opinion. Unless that greatly changed in the last couple of episodes and /ai/ didn't go mad about it.
>>133961321
>It amuses me how violence in Precure is largely accepted but nudity and sex aren't.
You just described every form of fiction that isn't porn.
>>133961422
I have no idea if this is supposed to be serious or not. Good job.
It's a throwback to Meiji sensibilities.
During the Meiji revolution, when poverty and high society became more aware of each other and there was more friction between them, the Revolutionists (also Christian) did all they could to codify and 'standardise' how people should behave or think. Basically they wanted to normalise everything (which is an evolutionary drive, in their defence).
There were horrific, widely-read pamphlets about how:
>nudity is abhorrent and manners were the most important thing
>never talk about sex, it's taboo
>always be prim and proper in behaviour - manners and politeness (read: not talking about stuff) is paramount
>a woman should do everything for her man and be totally monogamous (there's a bit about it here and it ties directly to this topic)
>nudity in any way is totally taboo (see: full-body swimsuits and swim-dresses for women from the time)
>violence was the realm of 'men' and isn't a taboo (though women shouldn't talk about such things)
Basically, in all modern media, we are still chained in a subtle way to these old sensibilities (in my opinion, this is informed conjecture). The origins of Hollywood still inform the tropes and patterns of modern mainstream cinema. Same goes for mainstream games, which are far earlier in their development. Hollywood broke out of the violence stuff in the '60s, and literature broke out of everything in the 1910s. Precure also require the catalyst of violence as an problem solving device which is fair enough.

Sasuga, Anon got me.
>>133961733
I agree with everything in that post except the "exploitation of women" bit, but not when it's rewritten to apply to little girl shows. Weird.
Can't we all?
>>133962068
They didn't do Fresh dancing in kig outfits... did they? I kind of want to cringe to that in kig form.
>maybe I should try picking up Precure
>hit up old wikipedia and see what I'm in for
>the franchise has seen many anime series, spanning over 500 episodes to date, as well as spawning movies
>>133962143
It can't be any cringier than the show's dancing.
>>133962215
Just watch Smile. It's damedame Precure.
>>133962215
There are only 2 sequels.
The rest are as stand alone as could be, different writers, characters, story, art direction everything.
>>133962215
It isn't that bad. I've been watching 1 ep per day for 2 years and the only around 30 eps are left.
>>133962215
Ganbatte, anon!
>>133960368
I remember crushing hard of Cure Black.
I think I got my tomboy fetish from that.
>>133962610
I want to get drunk with Honoka.
>>133962687
She spends the entire time complaining about Nagisa.
>>133962143
They did dance in kig but not the one from the early episodes. Watch the Fresh Musical and see for yourself.
>>133962687
Half an hour in: Honoka laughs at your stupid jokes more
One hour in: Honoka starts sperging about science
Two hours in: Honoka starts complaining about Nagisa and her parents
Three hours in: Smelling like mustard gas and roses, Honoka repeatedly tells Chuutaro what a great dog he is before passing out
>>133962817
Yeah, I can see that happening.
>>133962817
There's a lot of pent-up frustration for sure
>>133961975
I hope I till live up to DokiDoki remake with more coherent plot but same Mana.
I'm going to marry Haruharu!
I'm on the 19th episode of Futari wa Pretty Cure. The girls are cute and everything but... When does it get good?
>>133963408
>removing Nagisa's midriff in Max Heart
Why'd they even think that was a good idea?
There needs to be at least one midriff Cure in every Precure.
>>133963763
FW is probably a bit slow for people these days. What are you looking for? What isn't good?
>>133963790
Forgot the picture.
>>133963763
FW never gets good, but the midseason climax is close. Might as well watch that.
>>133963817
>What are you looking for?
Actually I was expecting cute magical girls doing cute magical things, but FW has been extremely repetitive.
>>133963852
Which purikyua is the best? I'm watching FW just because it's the first.
>>133963982
>Cute magical things
Oh lord, That's Smile.
>>133963763
>When does it get good?
What do you mean?
How do you expect us to read your mind?
It's a rather slow show if that is what you mean, and you can't really do anything about that.
The other series are a bit faster in that respect.
Also Precure is more a character driven show rather than a plot driven show, and some people prefer plot over character.
Also I wonder what kind of expectations people are setting for a show where its main target demographic are 7 year old girls.
>>133963982
Just go straight to Heartcatch if you want, it's the best one.
Every other Precure is just more of the same, but with different characters.
>>133963982
>Actually I was expecting cute magical girls doing cute magical things
Try Smile, it's close.
>>133963982
Heartcatch has the most universal praise of Precure series.
Best depends on what you like the most about the series, some series do x better others do y better etc.
Smile is a fun comedy cute season.
Fresh is also very fun but has rather horrendous animation in case that bothers you.
>>133964088
>>133964074
>>133964053
>>133964014
Great, will watch Smile and Heartcatch. Thanks!
Am I the only one who likes the slice of life parts better than the magical girl fighting?
The former is what I watch Precure for.
>>133964119
Also you really shouldn't expect too much of a preteen girl show, it won't have any very deep moments or whatever "intellectuals" like to watch.
Heartcatch is a bit more plot driven than the other shows so you could say it's a bit more adult. (only a bit)
>>133964158
Except for Erika, but what can you do?
>>133964149
Nope. I think the slice of life parts are the most important. Without those, it's just an action show. Blech.
>>133964149
>Am I the only one...
I'll stop reading here, and no you're not some snowflake.
>>133964149
I only watch it for the slice of life parts.
>>133964222
Am I the only one who finds this post insulting?
>>133964194
Erika was easily the best thing about Heartcatch.
>>133964158
>whatever "intellectuals" like to watch.
I know that, not really looking for a plot, maybe just more comedy and cuteness. FW has some but not enough I guess.
>>133964025
>expectations people are setting for a show where its main target demographic are 7 year old girls
I know that Pretty Cure is very well liked by Japanese otaku, that's why maybe I was expecting more moe and comedy.
>>133964287
>I know that Pretty Cure is very well liked by Japanese otaku
Not really, only by a few.
Maybe you should watch Nanatsuiro Drops if you want a moe mahou shoujo anime.
>>133964287
Watch Balala
>>133964363
>Maybe you should watch Nanatsuiro Drops if you want a moe mahou shoujo anime.
No. Bad.
Watch Fun Fun Pharmacy or Kasumin if you want a "magical" girl show.
>>133964404
I watched that sub episode, and I feel like it's stating a sequel season. Or does things start getting explained later?
>>133964363
>Nanatsuiro Drops
Will give it a try.
>>133964404
>balala
What?
>>133964459
Those are too high level for him. Watch Doremi.
>>133964487
If he hasn't watched Doremi yet, that's absolutely required.
Watch Maji de Otaku na English! Ribbon-chan: Eigo de Tatakau Mahou Shoujo.
>>133964414
If he's expecting moe, then an otaku pandering anime like Nanatsuiro fits him more.
>>133964582
How about lyrical nanoha?
>>133964602
That would also do fine.
>>133964480
>>balala
>What?
A literal Chinese cartoon magical girl show that's turned into a bit of a meme here.
>>133964616
Someone post the henshin theme. Fucking earworm.
>>133964582
If you're just going for otaku pandering, at least recommend Prisma Illya over fucking Nanatsuiro Drops. I can't even remember why I hated that show, it's that bland.
>>133964690
>Prisma Illya
Already watched it and loved the fuck out of it. That's what more or less I was looking for when I started watching FW. (without sexy fan service of course)
>>133964764
You're gonna like symphogear (season 1 and 2 only)
Then watch Corrector Yui (great ED) and Wedding Peach (got better het, got better fighting, got better tomboy, got better pink, got better blue than precure)
>>133964809
>Wedding Peach
Momoko is just an older Nozomi
>>133964881
better nozomi
>>133964809
Downloading them all, thanks!
If people are looking for other mahou shoujo shows, may I suggest Jewelpet?
>>133964469
It's the fourth or fifth season. The previous ones all look like shit, and one is even live action.
>>133965221
Do any of those older seasons have pink/blue duo action? Fuck this old hag yellow.
>>133965029
Is it wrong I really like to ship these two, despite the obvious Het route of Yes 5?
>>133966015
Yes.
>>133966015
No, nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's much better.
>>133966015
Why would there be anything wrong with that? Shipping is all about delusions.
>>133966015
As long as you don't pretend like it's canon.
>>133966015
It like you think their boys wouldn't mind a little exploring.
Two Cures?
Why is Honoka the sexiest pretty cure of all time?
>>133967390
No, that just means february.
The best.
I want to impregnate Minamean!
>>133967455
Ok!! Thanks!
>>133967390
Does this give any new info?
>>133967696
Apparently there will be no hats
>>133966015
Nah ship away, they were the 2 most interesting characters in their seasons.

It says literally nothing about hats. Isn't it about time you learned Japanese?
>>133967461
>All this Yui sasuga
I want more Yui episodes. She's the sexiest.
>>133968231
Precure fans: real
Balala fans: a fantasy
>>133968231
Why balala animation looks so fucking weird? It's rotoscoped cgi?
Daily Minamin!!
I really like the way the MAHO GIRLS hat forms a heart with its shadow.
I hope there's shadow Cures and she gets recruited to the team and it ends up super weird because there's two twin Pinks.
>>133968209
Can you translate it, then? Even if it gives no new information, everyone will calm down.
>>133960368
reminds me of the "we can do it" poster. or the "real lesbians use spit" parody thereof. too bad I can't find it right now

So. Far. Away. Unofficial leaks hurry up.
Precure focuses too much on the very little girls.
>>133969166
Yeah. And I've always felt like One Piece focuses way too much on things little boys might like. I read shoujo, suddenly it's like the author thinks everyone out there is a girl. What the fuck?
>>133968996
yeah
>>133968431
it's traced from other sources. also, it's badly animated in general.
>>133967724
>>133969205
You misunderstand. The important phrase is "very little", specifically "very".
>>133969166
They're the ones who watch it.
>>133967724
Not even the generals?
>>133969641
Well, I guess that the common case is that those who watch it are the once you targeted it at. And 4-12 is very broad age group. What I'm getting at is that it feels like post-Doki Precure is targeted at younger girls.
>>133969641
>says they're the ones who watch it
>posts chart directly contradicting this, with a majority not being little girls and an unknown amount of little boys
Okay.
>>133961489
nudity and sex happen in many works of fiction. just not on murrican broadacast TV. but that's not the only form of fiction in existence.

>>133972324
He's right. Nadja is boring as hell. It might get good with Rosemary or whatever that bitch's name is but I'll be damned if I'm sitting through it to that point.
>>133972251
He said not-lesbians, you baka.
>>133972409
>Boring
The show doesn't even follow an episode-by-episode formula like Doremi or Precure. Are you the kind of person who thinks The Rose of Versailles is boring, too?
>>133972528
I have no idea what that is.
Google... Oh. Yes. That sounds incredibly boring.
>>133972602
Are you underage or something?
>>133972649
I have the taste of a child. There's no magic or anything in that series.

Why would akari ever do that?

What's next on the occupations for girls list after witches?
When are we going to be going "Remember when Precure was about being a Precure and not about being Precure + Thing?"
>>133973901
Yeah, they have been pretty adamant on saying "Princess Precure" this season. Like they want to distance themselves from plain old "Precure".
>>133973901
I like Precure + Thing. It adds variety and a unifying theme that means more than just a similar looking uniform.
>>133974094
Why can't being a Precure be a unifying theme that means more?
>>133973901
IDOLS
>>133973901
>>133973961
It's better to have a theme to follow than floundering around all season with them like Fresh, Smile, Doki or Hacha did.
Suite and Gopri are really the only ones that have managed to keep on track with their themes. Not saying they're the best seasons (Fresh is my favorite), but it's true.
>>133974246
Doki kept on track with its theme the entire season. That theme was Mana.
>>133973775
Not all Akaris are nice Akaris.
>>133974348

I liked Nanoha. Why did it turn into this.
>>133975286
the author is incapable of capitalizing on the world he has built. he just expands the cast and throws in a random concept for each new installment.
same shit happened with dog days.
>>133975357
maybe he is too creative for you
>>133975398
Picking random concepts and glueing them onto an existing franchise is not creativity.

The Force NEXT stuff is all pretty great, Tsuzuki is just a hack and can't write - first two seasons were a fluke. Touma was a mistake.
>>133971603
Ok, I have watched this after all this balalaspam of you guys.
To be honest, it wasn't bad, the characters were cool, kek I like it when they made fun of the lil fat guy.
My complains:
-The animation looks cheap
-is this like a sequel or something?
>>133976053
Definitely a sequel
>>133976053
Yes, there are at least four seasons and a bunch of movies before. Some of them are ultra crappy looking animation and some of it islive action.
>>133976103
I can understand caring about animation and hating live-action, but caring so much that you'll skip four seasons of content makes no sense to me. Even for a little girl show. There's surely all sorts of character development that you completely miss.
>>133976103
And the Yellow in the live action is an old hag.
>>133976103
>magical girl
>live action
I can't imagine this ever working unless you get a hollywood budget and a whole basement full of teenage actors. good teenage actors.
>>133976154
did you watch precure in production order?
>>133976154
This episode was just a one-off, and I think that a lot of the people who downloaded it were just curious about Balala rather than actually interested in picking it up. So it makes sense to go with the good-looking season.
Would you really want to sit through 50 episodes of this?
>>133976227
>did you watch precure in production order?
Balala appears to have a single continuity across all season though. So it's different.
In the newly subbed episodes some old characters return, and everybody talks about how long it's been since they saw them last etc.
>>133976227
>did you watch precure in production order
Only 2 Precure seasons have a sequel, rest is 100% stand alone.
>>133976232
>Would you really want to sit through 50 episodes of this?
>Yellow in the middle.
No, but purely because the pink and blue aren't the main characters. Not because it's ugly or anything.
>>133976227
>did you watch precure in production order?
Yes

>>133976547
>balala gets better 3DPD movies than Precure
WHY
>>133977254
I'd rather fuck a kig than those pigs.
>>133977344
Of course. Kigs are 2D descending to our impure 3D world.
>>133977399
In the same way that a circle is a 2-dimensional projection of a 3 dimensional sphere, a kig is a 3-dimensional projection of the 4-dimensional perfection that is 2D
>>133976232
Those transformation scenes though.

Why is so hard to make dresses that don't look like halloween costume-tier crap?
>>133978188
I'm always wondering the same. Things would look so much better if they were made from some less vividly colored cotton, instead of polyester crap.
>>133972324
Nadja feels like a show where I have to be super precise with the timing but I can try for regular releases instead. It's not an original translation so it didn't feel like it warranted the time, and the only reason I started was to prod geso and she didn't care.
>>133978400
It's sadly not as known as Doremi, so you'll have to generate some hype and remind people of the show's existence.
It's a really great show, though. Even at it's worst, it's not Doki/Hacha or "The Hana Show."

You can't see it from this angle but she has meticulously sculpted wrinkles on the back of her panties where she's twisting. And she has a slight cameltoe.

encodes already are lossy, doubly so from TV captures, you're only getting least-significant-bit noise with high quality options.
TV broadcast (mpeg2ts) -> fansub encode (h.264) -> screenshot
If you really want lossless you need to steal the masters from the production company.

This is good.
So I was interested to see how a real chinese magical girl cartoon compares to Precure and gotta say it wasn't such a horrible experience.
The designs and costumes are generally very cute yet also pretty generic and the overall animation is unsurprisingly functional at most. The characters are likeable but a little more rough which might be a culture thing. The atmosphere is light-hearted and fun, colors and simple backrounds pleasant but nothing unordinary. The most distracting things for me were the annoying sound effects, seemingly inexperienced VAs, unexpected facial expressions and the language. Seriously, why does Chinese have to be such a weird language to listen to? Everything sounds like ChinShouJa-FengMeng-LiLang. It's distracting but might be a thing one can get accustomed to.
Come to think of it, this is how it must be like for people when they first try to watch their cartoons in Japanese.
I can't judge the whole show by one episode and won't recommend it to the typical /a/non but it's surprisingly entertaining and watchable (depending on what you expect from a chinese little girl cartoon). Still, technically it seems they have a long way to go to be a serious contender for Precure. The SoL moments and overall clumsy execution also has its own charme.
I found it interesting to see how hard the Chinese tried to perfectly copy the anime art style and how much they improved in doing so. Give the staff new talents, some budget and a few years of experience and we might see some slight competition in worldwide popularity.
>>133986623
Mandarin is "shi shi shit", Cantonese is "ching chong ling long ting tong".
Not relevant. I just wanted to mention it.
>>133986623
>I found it interesting to see how hard the Chinese tried to perfectly copy the anime art style
That's not what's surprising. What's surprising is that other places haven't.
>>133986623I wish someone would post the full opening song, it's addicting
Also I'd totally doage-inappropriate things to the blue one
>>133986623
>>133986770
>China copying stuff
That should be the least surprising part
>>133986770
Something about murrica's animation industry is deeply defective. I don't think it can be fixed.
The french incorporate some aspects into their own stuff, but they're much smaller.
The rest is irrelevant.
>>133987168
You sure? I don't watch the stuff, but I think American animation is moving towards somewhat more mature things, not just either children (Spongebob level) or adults (Family Guy type). Or maybe it's just that lots of people like children's stuff like Gravity Falls or whatever.
>>133987221
we were talking about art style
>>133982746

So just started with Futari Precure. It was made in 2004? It really looks/feels like a 90s anime, what up with that?
Also is there a list of filler episodes I can skip if they exist? 49 episodes is a lot.
Or should I start with one of the newer series like Heartcatch Pretty Cure! or Doki Doki?
>>133990789
>Also is there a list of filler episodes I can skip if they exist? 49 episodes is a lot.
If you're the kind of person who skips filler, you might as well not watch Precure.
Nothing from doremi on subbing the sentai FW audio drama crossovers. I suppose I will have to look for another group.

Why hello my fellow Pretty Cure enthusiast! Have you purchased Pretty Cure merchandise for all of your friends and family? Christmas is right around the corner ya know.
And don't forget to buy a Netflix subscription to watch the new and improved Glitter Force this holiday season as well!
>>133990789
half the charm in Futari Wa and one of the reasons for the series' success was because of Futari Wa's 90's anime feel
>>133990789
If you're having a weird feeling about Futari Wa, just go ahead and watch Heartcatch. You can always watch it all some other time.
>>133990681
for an episode that was supposed to be pretty emotional and important they really fucked it in the animation.

I've gotta say, that last episode with Setsuna and Love's mom was really great. Just goes to show that amidst all the QUALITY dance and scenes there's always something shining in the rough. Normally I'd be optimistic for these last few episodes, but the opening scene of this episode kinda ruined that. Oh well, at least there's that finale arc.

You can have her, Meiqi is better anyways.
>>134011061
Stop that. I don't want to hear it anymore.

I hear all day in my head even though I cannot that language.
>>134011224
/pc/-sings when?
>>134011320
When we sing MAHO OP next year.
>>134011107
Meiqi is mine. I'll fight you.
>>134011377
Meiqi is public property
>>134011346
>When we sing Glitter Force OP next month.
Fixed your mistake.
>>134011456
Heh, that's right. We're getting murrican OP/ED, aren't we?
Doing presentation about "The Selfish Gene" tomorrow, should I use KJ's selfish cells in it?
>>134011224
Ok three times is enough
>>134011530
card captors of the clow expect the unexpected now

>implying english openings aren't GOAT
>>134011624
Follow your Heart.
>>134011456
We should totally actually sing that.
Or at least get all of /a/ to sing it.
>>134011734
I don't care how bad the dub is, I still love this song.
>>134011530
Well they sure as fuck can't keep the old one.
>why the fuck do they keep saying smile? and what's a purycure?
>>134011734
Mew Mew Style Mew Mew Grace Mew Mew Power in Your Face
>>134011530
Well like >>134011825 says we can't keep the original.
>>134011774
>We should totally actually sing that.
Did you think I was kidding?
>>134006811
Heil Mana!
>>134011928
Hey Mana..
Mana is a cutie
>>134011734
People can say what they want about 4kids, but those openings really stuck with me.

Guys. Two witches.
>>134011982
Her dick is anything but cute.
>>134012044
The broom diamond is the same colour as that diamond star so maybe mid season 3rd cure.
Anyway, this is great news.
A new duo, hopefully with a great dynamic and non cure friends like Nagi and Honoka had
>>134012044
One set of hats are Black and Pink (doesn't make sense). The other set is Pink and Blue (just what you'd expect).
>>134012267
2 pinks
Twice the privilege
Mid season they fuse together
>>134012308
It's the two competing teams of course!
>>134012044
>With the magic words "Cure-UpRapapa!", two worlds will now connect!
>>134012267
I'm pretty sure the black hat is a dark purple Cure.
>>134012308
Precure gattai?! Anon, this is madness.
I hope they stay with just two girls. And I hope the witch theme allows them to somehow get a feeling of mystery and wonder into the show. Of unknown things being discovered.
Maybe they'll even use magic for something other than fighting once or twice.
>>134012308
Thinly veiled Mana season
>>134012410
>>With the magic words "Cure-UpRapapa!", two worlds will now connect!
Precure transformation shunts everything into the Witch Zone, fairies there are recurring characters.
Please.
>>134012044
Return of the duos?!Or we might get another HC/HaCha formula with a 2+1+1 thing
>>134012389
>>134012308
They are gang leaders.
HaCha was really fucking good until Yuuko ruined it. Here's hoping that at least happens with a better character this time.
The nerdy mousy girl somehow ropes in her popular childhood friend to form the magic club together.
>>134012527
It sounds more like one half of the starting duo is from the fairy witch kingdom.
>>134012527
That's not the two worlds I'm hoping for.
>>134012556
>>134012564
She can lead secret life
>>134012556
>>134012564
Oh yeah, two worlds. Right. So what are we having then? They wouldn't let the witch kingdom girl completely overshadow the normal human, so I guess she must be incompetent with their standard, putting her on equal footing with the human girl. She's Hime.
>>134012619
Well, Hime's kingdom is on Earth.
>>134012619
They didn't mind Haru getting completely overshadowed at the start.
>>134012676
Yeah, you're right.
I'm so excited for witches that my love is overflowing.
Are they really going to fly on brooms instead of the standard wings? So Unprecure.
>>134012619
Nah it'll turn out Pink has incredible latent talent so she picks up on everything super fast
>>134012459
Mana will be the girls "creepy adult mentor" person this year.
Fairy world Pink bringing in mundanes would be fun.
Brooms and associated butt pain.
>>134012098
Would it be cute if she tied a ribbon around the tip?
>>134012794
>pink
>talented
unprecure!
>>134012834
>pink
>not from "Earth"
UNPRECURE!next season is going to be so good
>>134012891
I think that would somehow make it more threatening.
>>134012834
Balala envy stop
>>134012920
Are you ready for disappointment?
