[Precure rambling]
Quinn Angstrom
I think my favorite thing about precure is
Quinn Angstrom
...OK, my favorite thing about it is how the original series was inspired by American buddy cop dramas
Quinn Angstrom
but my second favorite thing is just how aggressively the original director didn't give a flying fuck about courting the adult otaku market at every stage of conceptualizing it
Quinn Angstrom
"Fanservice episodes?" "Children don't give a shit about fanservice episodes"
Quinn Angstrom
"Gothic lolita aesthetic?" "Kids don't even know what that means, who cares"
Quinn Angstrom
"Isn't this supposed to be replacing a shoujo romance show on the rotation?" "Little girls like violence plenty tbh"

i respect the hell out of the precure directors

the smile director called out people who draw creepy fanart of the cures once, it was great
Quinn Angstrom
nice
Niamh Vibes
It immediately made it a success too
Quinn Angstrom
The niche of "about girls and actually aimed at girls at the same time, what a concept"
Quinn Angstrom
I'm like 40 episodes behind on mahopre now, is it any good? I feel like I've gotten conflicting vibes on my timeline
Quinn Angstrom
jury's out on the A La Mode leaks, I immediately deduct 2 points from anything where a girl has bunny ears

Yeah, the Smile director said something like "you know this is for kids, if you have to draw this stuff, at least make sure they can't come across it, but really why."
Quinn Angstrom
that's about my stance on it too
Quinn Angstrom
if someone really wants to draw porn of kids shows, I can't stop them, but don't fuckin put it where GIS will turn it up
Quinn Angstrom
also, gross, don't
✶ 天才的なIDOL様！
the bunny ears make me sort of suspect it's a fake because
✶ 天才的なIDOL様！
the tokyo mew mew sequel manga (which is terrible) has an MC who has bunny ears
Quinn Angstrom
we'll see, I guess

I still kind of want to see Berii redeemed by a better writer without all the executive meddling that went on.
Quinn Angstrom
100% of what I know about Tokyo Mew Mew I learned indirectly through Undertale

I think Maho is really solid overall? Slow start but every main girl gets sufficient screen time, thanks to there just being three.
Ken
Hell. Side characters and villains that don't stay around long get more development than some major characters in other shows.
Quinn Angstrom
I'll pick it up at some point
Quinn Angstrom
maybe when I get tired of Naruto Kai
Quinn Angstrom
gotta have SOMETHING long and mindless in the backgruond

My favorite thing about Pretty Cure is that Eiichiro Oda considers it his rival because his daughter likes it better than One Piece.
Quinn Angstrom
hahahaha

Mew Mew Kissy Cutie actually does not resemble it as described aside from featuring a catgirl and having a contested sequel, and even then, very few people think Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode is good.

It was a reference but not a full lawyer-friendly mention, if that makes sense.
Quinn Angstrom
I figured as much
