The climactic fifth book of the Stormlight Archive Series by Brandon Sanderson has arrived, and we... we have thoughts. Quite a few of them! Join us as we discuss what worked, what didn't, which characters had the best stories, and ideas about what will happen in the future as the first arc of this series concludes. The episode was so long (there is a lot of book in this book, after all) we wanted to split it into two parts.

(Don't worry, neither we nor the show spend much time on it), her status as a PreCure, and a sleepover

With a new season of PreCure we return with new thoughts! Are we excited for this new season or has it left us feeling cold? Has Joel really downloaded all of PreCure into his brain?

We also meet Mashiro's childhood friend, Ageha who is a delight and threatens to beat up the bad guys with a metal bat. So you know who our favorite is this season.

Hime is sad for a bit, Megumi gets a costume change (complete with special abilities!), Megumi and Yuko separately cheer our girl up, and in the end they are victorious.

Also, Alice summons a giant Lance (much cuter in the original japanese audio than in the Glitter Force version), the girls get VORED, Mana does a super cool slow-motion ballerina kick, Rikka performs a FRIGGEN CHIAOTZU (don't worry, she's fine), and Bel gets shrunk to the size of a mouse. Delicious Party We also get the final battle of Delicious Party. In which we get some incredible fight choreography for Mari & Finale versus Godatz, the miraculous power of the lucky cats, and Godatz turns into a... well, some kind of animal. Secretoru seems to have hit it off with Kokone's mom, and Narcistoru actually helps the PreCure team. He can learn!

Godatz, unsurprisingly, abandons Secretoru and meanwhile only Yui, Takumi, and Mari are able to give chase. Takumi is out for blood, but Yui stops him, praying for mercy- which allows Godatz to sucker punch the boy! They just barely get out, but Kome Kome is drained of energy in the process, oh no! Episode 43 is Yui's mandated despair episode, but Takumi and Kome Kome are able to raise her spirits, and Yui's name brings the riceballs back to Oishina town, and she's off to give Godatz the ole friendship punch!

But in the end Aguri realizes she loves her grandma and a bit more of her backstory is revealed. Then, in episode 44 we get Doki Doki's Christmas episode, and it may be the most women-loving-women vibes in all of Doki Doki. Rikka and Mana are married, and Mana and Regina love each other.

But then they form a beautiful friendship, in spaaaaace!! And it turns out they can be friends and Reina has only been acting out of jealousy! Then, in episode 42 we find out Aguri is adopted, and this is treated as a shocking twist. Also Makoto is an orphan, but that's treated as less of a shock. But once she tries the "phantom treat" that is birthday cake, and the day is saved.
