Actually, I assumed he was referring to the original Mobile Suit Gundam, which was shortened to 43 from 52. In fact, it was cut down to 39, but they managed to negotiate an extension.

And yet the biggest Precure fan here somehow doesnt like MLP.
Heartcatch Precure = Garbage
Smile Precure = Pretty Awesome.
my experiences with precure
So Crunchyroll is still tacking on shows to their Summer streaming list, adding Dog Days' (and the first season at a later point).
That carries a lot of unfortunate negative connotations... But yes, it's the anime equivalent of an older demographic finding a series aimed for children to be enjoyable.
You're just supposed to roll with it and not overthink it.
Dude, that's what the
mid-season powerup
It's not particularly deep, but in spite of the low age target demographic and the heavy commercialization it manages to be all-ages innocent fun. Each episode is usually half comedic character interaction and half ass-kicking, and there are often surprisingly well-produced episodes whose writing and animation quality really stand out. And yeah, it's cute, so there's that. Aside from Heartcatch it's not a franchise I ever actively recommend, but there are certainly plenty of things to like about it.
A loaded term and an erroneous comparison anyway if it implies anything beyond a periphery demographic fanbase.
I realized that after my post. No doubt he was referring to both!
Just saying, Jester is far more sinister than the other villains!

lol, I don't even know why I care.
It's because it's such a ridiculous concept one tries to make sense of it. I like to think most everyone went through a phase of questioning various mechanics and consequences of the premise before just saying fuck it.

I should probably finish what I've already started first...
yay! Now every show I want to watch has been picked up by them!

yeah probably.
I did actually enjoy the show though
besides the exaggerated m16 bashing, I can only imagine how L85 fans feel

It is a kid's show. Like most things, it has a broader appeal than to just little girls. I'd say more, but that's about all I know.

Hey, actions have consequences.
I'm curious as to the exact point I transitioned from watching this for laughs to genuinely enjoying it. So much drama being set up and I'm still under the impression the show is better than the premise should rightfully allow. I got cliffhangered so damn hard too. 
Hey, actions have consequences.
I'm glad Nagisa is being given a chance to shine.

They're fox girls, not cat girls.
That's fine. Just, to me, "brony" implies identification with a specific subculture rather than mere consumption of the show. I suppose it's the same difference between "Star Trek fan" and "Trekkie" from decades past--in general, the obsessive and sometimes socially-backward "dark side" of fandom.
There's definitely an unsavory element of the adult Precure fandom, but it's not something that I identify with. I just like my weekly dose of colorful, cheerful violence, hahah.

Magical girl show with a lot more action that was a revolution to the mahou shojo genre ( IMO ) 10 years ago .. Still popular so they get new seasons..
Some season have incredible animations ( Splash star , heart catch ) and aside from 2 season , you can watch them in any order .. So join the pretty cure side and enjoy it with the rest of us .!!!
It certainly is. Pity about the arm being in the way.
Well I'll get back to making gifs tomorrow as it's pretty late here.

Yep, still awesome. Still just as amusing with everything going on.
The end of humanity has never been so funny.

High five!
In real life and the show.
So you're the mythical "person who has actually seen Splash Star", eh? Considering that it's the forgotten black sheep of the franchise, I never hear anyone mention it much less praise the animation. Interesting.
I'll get around to it someday... after I finish Suite and Fresh and Futari wa...
I think I'll read your impressions instead of going back and finishing it. The 5 or 6 episodes (or was it 7 or 8?) I watched were some of the most painfully boring that I have ever seen.

It really doesn't get all that more interesting.
The show was incredibly well made but I found it painfully dull from start to finish.
I don't know about the entire show but I have seen one video in particular from near the end of the show that is pretty impressive stuff.
That's probably for the best. I don't mind.
Well, many shows get big upgrades to their animation at important points, like the endings.
All of the series usually get some nice sakuga scenes in the endgame episodes, though some of the series are certainly on a whole different level than others in terms of overall animation quality and best scenes. If Geneijin would be so kind as to make an appearance in the thread he probably has gifs of the scenes in question handy. He showed me some pretty mindblowing stuff from 5 GoGo recently.

It started back up though, apparently with a weird alternate reality reset, but then going back to the normal reality and continuing where the old one left off.
So we more or less agree. It seems like I stepped on your toes by using the term moeblobs when my intention wasn't that of a negative connotation. Nor did I associate moeblobs solely with KyoAni.

Upgraded.
The latter doesn't have Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune to contend with.

Not enough tea.
Sengoku Collection would have been better if they kept doing documentary parodies!
Didn't see this post before but I wanted to agree with it, especially the first several seconds. It looks a little better at the bit during the song's chorus though.
