Fresh Pretty Cure!: 08



Oh look, new toy time! I'm starting to feel a little Déjà vu here... A weapon that has a melody lightup before using, a baby.... Just how much did DokiDoki borrow from this season?

I could make a fucking list on things it borrows from other Precures if I felt like it
and it was requested

Funny you guys brought up Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) with the English release having just gone on sale, because a Blu-ray box for the series was just announced for Japan.

Know what else got a pair of JP BD-box sets announced today? Yes! Precure 5.

Why don't they box something worthwhile? I mean FUCK, that's 400 dollars per boxset! 400 dollars for a fucking bourgeois ass box! Yes! isn't worth 800 fucking bucks.

[Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon Sailor Stars] 185

Every time they use the "little cancer girl who could" storyline in one of these shows I can't help but feel they could do without the monster of the week shenanigans for just once. It's a really artificial and random way to create conflict where none was needed before. I need to get on Doremi.

Too hot for tv.

So it's Sailor Moon's fault we have fucking xray porn. God damn it. On a side note, I really agree with the cancer storyline. Needs to do away with MotW for that. I would praise a Magical girl show for avoiding that no matter how shitty it is.

Already preordered on Amazon.

Yay!

Im really close to preordering it. I fear it may be difficult to obtain.

It likely will be a one-print title me thinks.

Pre-ordered on Amazon and hating Gamestop for having exclusive pre-order stuff again.

Yeah, I hate retail exclusive pre-order bonuses too.

highly anticipating this release, gotta finish Xillia before this hits.

Thanks for reminding me I need to finish that too. XD

Played the PS3 demo can it was kinda boring tbqh.

Understandable if you're not into music games. Be aware however that the demo does not have Hard/Extreme difficulties for songs.

I worked on the song translation for this with 8-4, so lemme throw in a plug as well.
It's AnimeGAFfer approved!

Wow that is super awesome!! Go Kagami! :D

I'm holding out for a Vita version. I know it got rated by the ESRB.

I hope this version gets released too.

The cinematography of this show is something else. What an excellent adaptation this is turning out to be.

Oh, and that was another great ED.

Feels like everything got more glittery when attacks were going otherwise feels like the plot is being drawn out extensively
Titan able to defeat everyone, Pallas decides to leave for no reason. Seiya could have attacked or something :/

zzz.

this show is super stagnant, and it's really hard for single character comedies to work. there isn't ever really someone for her to play off of. this show needs a leon.

The story is progressing smoothly, and this time it had a nice script, but it was again a rather weak episode in construction. The staff was not particularly great for this one, and I'm beginning to think Rika Ota's Hyouka 20 was a fluke. The next two episodes should be pretty good (7 is YamadaxNao Naitou, 8 is TakemotoxChiyoko Ueno).

I've come out of hiding temporarily to remind you all that Project Diva F comes out on PS3 on August 27th.

Please support Miku!

I've already lent my support by buying the Japanese Vita version (and the upgrade DLC with the extra songs from the PS3 version). Can't get enough of these Miku rhythm games! Looking forward to Project mirai 2 later this year =D

Shame on Sega for not bringing the correct version over to Western regions, though =/ Games like this are always better enjoyed in portable form...


Yes! Precure 5 - 20

Speaking of divas, it's the second Lemonade-flavoured episode in a row, and this time she's making her debut as a singer! Everyone is super excited about the prospect...except Urara herself, who isn't even sure she should be going down this path. Her dream is to become an actress, and starting a singing career feels like a step in a completely different direction. Silly Urara, don't you know that idols have to be able to do ALL THE THINGS?

Thankfully, she has a change of heart when Nozomi convinces her that singing and acting are fundamentally connected, because they both work towards Urara's real dream - to bring hope and dreams to her audience.

Also, something something toadboy something something Idol Kowaina. Yawn.

If you guys are going to buy physical copy of Hatsune Miku make sure to preorder. There is a Sega guy in the thread on the gaming side saying they are running short on physical copies for the bonus version at Gamestop

So now that last week's manga sales have been released I though it would be fun to see what kind of boost the new Attack on Titan volume got from four months of the anime airing, compared to the previous two volumes.

Volume 9 -- 435,631 regular, 25,712 limited edition after 10 days (released December 7, 2012)
Volume 10 -- 417,414 regular, 30,404 limited edition after 6 days (released April 9, 2013)

Volume 11 -- 764,022 regular, 192,867 limited edition after 3 days (released August 9, 2013)

This character is for part 2 , he is still in part 1.

They brought the correct version and the best version so far for it to work.

i kinda remember this one , at least the concerns felt genuine even if the execution was forced and predictable.

This was actually a pretty good fight scene. Better than most of the others so far. The Precure actually felt like the ones in control this time, with Sunny, March, and Beauty getting the wings and basically toying with Akanbe.

Miyuki and Yayoi should learn not to take candy from strangers.

Funny you should ask that...

Yes! Precure 5 - 21

Third mascot get! Milk is a bit of an ass. She's got a real big attitude considering she's basically just a servant (and in training, at that!) Also she steals food, which is the greatest sin anyone can ever commit. ...She's still kind of cute though I guess.

Unlike Coco and Nuts, it seems she can't transform into a human (though I know this won't last forever, considering the little I'm aware of about the upcoming GoGo...) And the Cures are pretty shocked to learn from her that Coco and Nuts are omgPRINCES. My reaction to that one was "oh, did we not know that already?"

Mantis-man also shows up briefly to create a Kowaina out of...a park bench. Clutching at straws somewhat at this point, I feel.

Thats a familiar name, if she really did submit a food idea...

Intense episode, new music introduced matched the intense action scene greatly, and all the attacks, new skill unlocks, honoring the food was well done. Best arc yet and then
whoever is in the background running the four beasts has to be strong indeed. Considering one of them is capture level 140+

OK, I have to admit, those last few episodes of Attack on Titan have been brilliant. Dammit, can't hate it anymore. The writing is stilll god awful, but the plot is moving in some exciting direction.

Hm, I'm not sure I approve of mirai's low position in that ranking of yours. Feels a little odd ranking it against the Diva games at all to be honest, since it feels very much like a separate thing that distinguishes itself from the Diva series nicely with its full-length songs, different style of gameplay/scoring, multiple vocal options for many tracks, and most of all UNPARALLELED CUTENESS. That game is basically cajundeath in a box. <3

I can't fault Sega too much for not bringing the original mirai over, though, since with mirai 2 including all the songs and costumes from the first game and more, it's going to be pretty much obsolete once the second game comes out. So if they bring the second game to Western markets, it'll be all good! *doesn't get hopes up*

At any rate, though, the issue I'm talking about here isn't whether or not mirai gets brought over, it's that they decided to bring over F while neglecting its superior sibling f. There's just no excuse for that kind of nonsense.

Cardcaptor Sakura Movie 2 (Series END)

A HUGE improvement to the first movie and a wonderful end to this series which I've very much enjoyed watching for the better part of four months. The villain was still a bit lame but the conflict that she caused during the course of the movie was decent enough for it to actually feel like a sequel to the series instead of a side story. The animation was pretty top-notch during the opening scene and final battle, though like the first movie a lot of it looked like a better animated TV episode but this time put it more towards character expressions/reactions. The ending was a bit abrupt but I guess it ended in the only way this series could have,
Sakura replying to Shaoran's feelings when she'd thought his memories of loving her were gone due to the sealed card's magic
. That put a gigantic grin on my face.

I'm pretty much all empty inside now that I'm done with everything Cardcaptor Sakura so I'm going to continue my Hidamari rewatch to fill this endless void. Until we UEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE again, CCS.

Then you could praise Doremi,
but it's not shitty...That episode was pretty nice

Well cnet just proved you wrong, so there.

Certainly sounds like what you want is more like what Doremi did.
