A Smile sequel would pretty much confirm they're out of ideas, right?
I guess it could be all right if they opened it up a bit more and let the characters develop and play off of each other more, but if they didn't do that with Smile then I certainly wouldn't expect them to do it in a Smile sequel.

To be fair, you don't need that to confirm they're out of ideas.

I had to skip throughout the episode to see if it'd get better.
It doesn't. I promised myself the 3 episode rule. You had your chance. And I hope you feel bad about yourself. Though feel proud. Your mediocre humor and unlikable cast are part of the exclusive clique of bad high school comedies I was able to drop.

Well I haven't been watching DokiDoki nor do I intend to, but the meaning was basically that yeah it seems they're out of ideas and just cynically milking at this point, but this would basically seal the deal on that.

Interestingly enough, I apparently came across someone who said fansubbers or something didn't really like the ending to Smile, said it was rather, derivative. That was surprising.
If Heartcatch was a sales monster and still didn't get a sequel, Smile won't.
We'd have to switch Minako and Usagi's roles in the story so that Minako could appropriately be El Miore, but sure, why not?

Just found out there is a Hanasaku Iroha movie. Does anyone know if it's one of those recap movies or is it actually a sequel?
Smile ending was the same episode repeated 7+ times, so it was derivative even without comparing other works!

Indeed Splash Star was Black 2/White 2, but without the grind at least.
@Hitokage: Well I guess no wonder it didn't phase me. I was more about being done with the backlog than really caring.

The upside is that Splash Star is way better than Futari wa. The duo formula could have worked if it continued to evolve each season; Toei just took it out behind the woodshed because they have no patience for failure even when it doesn't constitute a pattern.
Neither; it's technically a side-story that takes place during the series, but a big focus of the movie is actually on flashbacks to Ohana's mother as a teenager.

Anyone here know what the fuck is up with Yamato 2199? The last 4 episodes should have released ages ago yet it seems nobody has anything past episode 22. I know the blu-ray comes out in 2 days in Japan but shouldn't the TV broadcast have caught up with the movie releases months ago?
I didn't like the ending to Smile either.

Not months ago, but a month ago. The TV broadcast finished with episode 26, after which there was the announcement for another Yamato project in 2014.
It's even worse when you've seen several other seasons because every single element is ripped wholesale from a previous series. My advice is to quit after the villain backstory episode and just watch the Yes 5 movie, which is the evil alter-ego thing done ten times better.
Really didn't help things with the
collected all the decors LOL nope gotta collect more!
The characters made Smile as watchable as it was.
...I fear I'm starting to turn cynical...

Yo this gif is blowing my mind. This is how CGI should be done if it is CGI.
There are shows better than Smile Precure. It's not like you're facing a dead end by realizing it could be better.

I mean the overall deal with Smile could be seen as deritive when you consider they
A lot of Smile was pretty much about characters.... who didn't develop as much as we like (Yayoi probably has the most personality because she strays more from what she starts as), and admittingly, the final stretch in itself was really bleh
Smile Precures were like the weakest group of Precures. bleh.
repeat the fetch quests

HEY, POWER UP ALL 5 OF THESE FOOLS, and yet despite that, they still can't wipe out an Akanbe by themselves. And then struggle all together over and over despite that.
Smile Precures were like the weakest group of Precures. bleh.

They should do a Precure Battle Royale movie, where all the generations of Precures battle each other to the death.
And the last episode really sucked, with the
"Our only chance to defeat this is if we do this, but then you'll never be able to see Candy again". *cue minutes on end of crying* *they win, Candy dissapears* *more crying* *Candy magically returns to them* "I prayed lots and lots to the moon, guru". Hell, one of them even said that made no sense.

It was only good for the GIFs for the crying that I make use of every now and again. It's like....
"TOEI! I WATCHED THIS SHOW ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, CUT THE SHIT"
We have like what....? One bittersweet ending? Out of 10? (I haven't seen GoGo's ending).

I'm not sure about 'lighthearted,' but for at least 'story-driven non-depressing' I might suggest:
Coyote Ragtime Show
Majestic Prince
Gunsmith Cats
Godannar
Also, you should watch Golden Boy (specifically the English Dub). It's not exactly story-driven, but it's one of the funniest things you'll probably ever watch.

I haven't kept up with all the new shows this Fall, but is Non Non Biyori the "cute girls doing cute stuff" of the season? I just finished Kinmoza and wanted to make sure I'm watching the right thing.

Indeed it is.
Also, Toei is making a new Marvel anime, Disc Wars: Avengers, though the premise is closer to a "mons" series than a normal adaptation...

Had never seen 3 of those shows and will be adding them to my list.
The best thing of coming to this forum has definitely been the recommendations of anime I may have previously ignored while going through MAL or simply never found.

Coppelion 2. This is a somewhat unexpected setting for an Anime, I gotta say. Like it so far though.

Actually, the Yuki manga is the reason why I decided to look it all up, since it introduced a character named
Sayaka
anti-Haruhi
And yes, Yuki is the better character and should be the protagonist of the universe.
Heh, it's certainly just as wacky anyway.

Sakuga peeps, is this real rain?
And dawwwwwwwww ending. It sort of made sense where the two leads would end up, and I'd almost be happy if the show just ended there. Instead, there's a new meta plot that I'm sure will be fairly boring to watch. lol

I think we're past that already.
You can almost feel that book structure, can't you. It really shines through.
That is some nightmare fuel.

I wonder if they got real child actors for the sister and the loli nun.
Also, I wonder what "blonde" Sena will look like.

I worship at the church of Cauron! It's not my fault Japan can't spend 100 million on their crappy anime tie-ins.
Ah, the wikia made it seem like it was over, but I guess it isn't? It just seems like a big story that's just hanging there... but oh well.
Om nom nom nom nom.
Well, the latest pair (trio?) of novels gave them plenty of focus and they were heavily involved in the climax, so it does feel like their "arc" has been given a sort of closure, and if someone wanted to do an anime adaptation it would be a pretty decent cutoff point. But it doesn't really feel like their story is over yet.
