Futari Wa PreCure This week we're covering episodes 44 and 45, which are a Christmas episode and an episode about a singing competition. Joel really liked the singing competition, and Kiriya also made a brief appearance- what could it mean? Fresh PreCure This week we watched the Fresh movie, "The Kingdom of Toys has Lots of Secrets!?" in which we go to toy land to save children from having their toys taken away! Setsuna has her best outfit yet, Love fights a kung fu mannequinn, AND Love takes on a new form!

Futari Wa PreCure Episode 42 of Futari Wa asks if Honoka and Nagisa can function without each other, and it turns out this builds Nagisa's character and brings the two closer together.

Main Discussion Episode 40 is all about papayas! Minori wants to write but can't because she's never tasted a papaya- a powerful metaphor. Futari Wa PreCure Episode 41 of Futari Wa tells two unrelated stories: One about the lacrosse championships, and one about the power of annihilation, which is apparently eating the evil generals! Fresh PreCure episode 33 focuses on Miki and Setsuna's relationship, and the deep terror of octupi. episode 34 is... well, it wouldn't be inaccurate to compare it to a "mess." The bad guys stop time, but not in a fun or interesting way

Also Joel talks about the Tropical Club in Minecraft a little. Main Discussion Episode 39 is a certified cute Sango episode! She learns a new attack, and Laura continues to be befuddled by mountains. We also get one of the cutest scenes between Manatsu and Sango. Futari Wa PreCure Episode 40 of Futari Wa is a sleepover episode, with strange dreams and lewd hand holding for our two girls. Fresh PreCure We watched episodes 31 and 32. 31 was about Love and Daisuke's relationship, and an intense and amazing game of baseball. We loved it. This was followed by a visit to the sweets kingdom in which we learn Tarte is a prince and he has a cute squirrel fiancee!

Additionally, we ponder the philosophical nature of Chongi-re controlling a crab yarane-da. Futari Wa PreCure Episode 39 is about a wedding, and a quilt with which Joel formed an emotional connection. It was cute, but didn't have much meat to it.

Main Discussion With episode 36 comes a visit to the Gran Ocean! The girls search for the Marine Ring, Kururun gets lost in the sauce, and... the citizens of the Gran Ocean are revealed to be illusions! This is a two-parter, and a bit of a downer, but at least Minori was cute! Futari Wa PreCure Episode 37 tackles Romeo and Juliet, and is about how Nagisa can't act. Also some of their classmates have a few speaking lines. But perhaps an evil plot is in the works at the Bad Guy Mansion. Fresh PreCure We cover episodes 25 and 26, which Joel dubs the Setsuna power hour. She decides she can make up for past sins in the first and has some cute moments with Buki in the second. Also we appreciate Westar, predict what North may be like, and talk about the coincidence of the Cures always

Main Discussion We cover the Pretty Cure Dream Stars movie, featuring the Kira Kira, Maho Tsukai, and Go Princess girls! We found the jokes quite good, we're happy to see some of our favorite girls again, though the special outfits the teams received left us underwhelmed. Futari Wa PreCure We cover an episode that felt both like filler and one of the few that actually seemed to cover plot- but then it fell flat in the end. We also talk about how originally the PreCure season was planned to end with the first defeat of the Dark King Fresh PreCure It's time to introduce Setsuna to the concept of happiness! She and Love go out to dinner, and Westar seems to miss his former ally. We also speculate on where the story may go from here.

Futari Wa PreCure We play a fun game in which only Joel watched episode 34 of Futari Wa, and he pitches three possible synopses of the episode to Kat who has to guess which actually occurred in canon. The actual episode is about a relay race and Nagisa being hungry, if you can believe it. Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Joel covers episodes 43-46, which includes a great deal of content.

Main Discussion This week's PreCure episode is a series of charming shorts with different animation styles from the regular episodes. We talk about which made us laugh and why they were so brilliant. Plus, we get cameos from the HeartCatch PreCure team! Futari Wa PreCure To be frank there isn't much to this episode, but it does involve Lacrosse drama Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Joel watched episodes 41-43, which focus on Ciel & Rio, Aoi, and Himari specifically. And Elysio is taking on different forms, just like armor digivolution?!? We agree that Aoi's episode is the best, and most impactful, though Himari is cute and the idea of the townspeople not trusting Rio is an interesting topic.

Kat feels this might be a step back for Sango's character, and Joel once again feels the character plot and the episode plot don't exactly get along. But we still loved it and the Yareneda Mannequins were top tier. Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode Joel watched episodes 39 & 40, covering a zombie-fied Ichigozaka and Grave's final form.

And learned Shiratori's name. It was a great episode and we're thankful to be focusing on the other characters. Kira Kira PreCure A La Mode It's time to head to France and face a ghost child!

We're confused by the pink elephant in the room and, we're excited to have some plot with the legendary Palm Tree, or rather, the legendary PreCure!
