Precure Thread
 

I felt like trying to have a thread about the popular modern magical girl show.

Which is your favorite season?
Which is your favorite Cure?

sadly there isn't an "All Precure Opening Video" I can find, this is the best I can do.

You really think people on a TMNT forum watch a magical girl anime? At least one that isn't Sailor Moon?

Never heard of this

Its made by TOEI the same people who animate DBZ and Sailor Moon. Its a magical girl anime with several different series where they change the girls every series.

Its basically Sailor Moon where they fight evil and monsters, etc. I've never watched the series, I only know about the series because of....questionable means.

I think that people shouldn't be generalized and have their own "watch lists" that shouldn't be judged just based on a forum they visit.

Well its for the same reason I wouldn't go to an anime forum and ask them if they watch Ninja Turtles or Batman cartoons.

I liked Heartcatch!! ^_^

I love cure Marine the best!!

I am still pretty new to Precure itself, but I think my favorite cure has to be Dream.

so Saban Brands "Precure" will be premiereing on netflix this december, it's smile precure...also it has 8 episodes cut.

so yeah, not looking good.

I heard Precure started off as an innocent kids show in its first few series and then starting increasingly pandering to otaku with more and more fanservice. Is there any truth to this? I don't really follow the series so I don't know.

I'm my favorite Cure.

not really, Precure has always had that type of demographic

But that's what I'm asking, since its still mainly aimed at little girls there's not much in the way of fanservice, right?

nah, it stays pretty consistent.

for anyone that cares



3 confirmed episodes that are cut.

2 Cure sunny episodes and the episode with Yayoi where we find out about her dead father.

Didn't know the series had been around for so long. My students (girls) love the series, though. They're always telling me stuff about it excitedly...which I can't catch because they're a bunch of preschoolers speaking so fast and stuff and I have no idea what they're going on about anyway as I don't watch it. The same goes for their enthusiasm for stuff like Doraemon and Yokai Watch too.

They don't watch Pokemon? The current female lead Serena has a pretty big crush on Ash. I wonder what they think of it.

These are the shows I know of that my students like:

Youkai Watch
Doraemon
Anpanman
Pokemon
Detective Conan
Precure (girls)
Nininja
Kamen Rider
Crayon Shin-chan

Youkai Watch seems to be the most popular though amongst them. Most of my kids seem to not watch Pokemon as much as Youkai Watch. I recently taught "Do you like~" "Yes, I do/No, I don't". I used some of the shows as examples, but seems Youkai Watch beats out Pokemon when I ask for those two.

I sometimes do. Not this series, but others.

you know, I sometimes exaggerate when I say stuff like "bad voice acting"

well

not this time... this one really is bad.

I am not at all surprised that it is generic trash.

at this point, the only way they could get me to change my mind is probably making Wolfrun and Miyuki canon.

Why do they still bother to dub and censor anime for little kids? This isn't the early 2000's anymore.

The only anime kids still watch nowadays is Pokemon, Dragonball and Yokai Watch. The anime craze in the U.S. died by 2005.

Boy, you really are out of it.

What anime do they watch nowadays? Saturday Morning blocks are dead, and anything that airs on Cartoon Network is aimed at teens/adults and airs after Midnight.

The only popular kids anime is still Pokemon, Yokai Watch, and Dragon ball especially when Super is finally dubbed by FUNimation.

Why bother explaining when I know it's just gonna lead you somehow to do another rant against anime and who it's all "fan service" and what not? That shtick of yours is way past old.

But the latter is what teens/adults watch. I'm talking about what anime is popular with kids nowadays 6-12 years old? I can only think of Pokemon, Yokai Watch and Dragonball Kai/Super. I'm talking about in the U.S.

There isn't much dubbed anime aired on TV anymore. We're not in the early 2000's anymore.

Answer? Saban Brands is literally living in the 90's...you should see the jokes Rangerboard has.

well...it's a cringy 90's dub, like we all expected. definitely low quality in terms of other kid's shows.
