All my favourite villains keep losing on the precure villain tournament this is so unfair towards me 💔💔💔

[leafonground]

watched mirai days episode 7. GIANT yap-fest inbound. spoilers, obviously.

so airu didnt actually go back in time. he just got his time erased. he's living it up inside the stupid statue. cool. so he's liable to come back at any minute. thats gonna suck (read: be awesome BUT I HATE HIM GRR)

those flashbacks though. from the middle of the episode. i am sobbing and screaming but i have to talk about the closet coding here. the whole "we have to smile, we have to act normal, we have to push through" thing mirai said, thats. damn. DAMN. thats kinda what you HAVE to do as a closeted kid. and with mirais family being seemingly uber oblivious to whats Going On i think mirai had to go thru that. couldnt tell her parents about what was really going on between her and liko cus 1. magic world and keeping identity secret cus duh but also 2. we know mirai wouldnt care about that. family is everything to her. part of my brain is genuinely concerned that the fucking closet is why. jesus christ. is this a headcanon? yes. does deen KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEYRE FUCKING DOING? ALSO YES. not even mentioning HOW THEY TALK ABOUT HAA. AND HOW MIRAI HAS TO TAKE LIKOS HAND IN THAT MOMENT. OH MY GOD. THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH THE FLASHBACK EPISODE THING. im not so sure they can fit it in now but with the increased rate of flashbacks/flashforwards happening now its not outside the realm of possibility. especially if that shit chronosto tried to pull ends up working somehow.

that aside then theres the ACTUAL meaning… and oh my god… they went through this exact same shit TWICE. this is AGAIN. maybe theyre better at handling it the second time around but after seeing how hisui went out that shit would completely destroy me. not like it didnt anyway though.

i was genuinely concerned last week that miraiko is in jeopardy due to the loss of hisui. but uh. honestly my concerns are only SLIGHTLY assuaged. theyre still being gay all the time and haa being back for sure plays a massive role in things not falling apart, but the way theyre doing it is just "im going to keep this pain inside me, and then one day i'll die." that shit does not work. mirai TRIED it before. it did not work. it also does not work in real life. trust me. if you needed me to tell you that-- i'm GLAD i told you that. talk to somebody. but with what happened right at the end it may be a non-issue here… more on that in a minute though.

poor souta. bro got his whole dream shattered by chronosto and was banished to being an office worker with receding hair. at least it seemed like he had kids who were happy. and if the flashforwards we've seen are anything to go off of this bad future of his is gonna come to pass. that sucks. honestly probably the best version of turning regular people into mosnters i've seen yet. sure, desertrians (from heartcatch) and notriggers (from star twinkle) exploit your insecurities, and the jikochuus (from doki doki) prey on your selfish thoughts, and A CERTAIN CHARACTER WHO I'M NOT SPOILING FOR MY ONE FRIEND from kira exploits trauma, and those are great. but this guy straight up just sees your future, shows it to you if it sucks, and traps you in the forever box mind matrix statue prison and eats your "time" (life force) for his own power. then if the precures show up he uses the power to manifest a monster. literally all souta could do was brush it off as a bad dream. he doesn't know, chat. maybe it was a troll though and he becomes that pro bowler he was on about lol

but fuckin chronosto. i guess i was wrong about the dog being just a vessel, he really was just a dog the whole time. but. then who's the urn fella. his powers run out now but i wanna know who he is. for someone who just murdered a child last episode he's pretty fuckin goofy looking. regice lookin ass. has a dog tic. will probably look more threatening next time since he's already turned a ton of people into statues as we've seen, but for now i will poke endless amounts of fun.

chikurun is here. on my first watch thru i was dismayed at the mofurun being straight arc, but after watching the movie and learning that mofurun is transgender it hit me that mofurun is cool and awesome actually for being a tgirl failgirl whos into failmen. you go girl. also i have to imagine in the preview since we see mofu and chikurun talk that they can like. talk about how the timeskip affected them too. cus mofu says she'll come back for chikurun a few episodes before the deusmast fight but obviously she never does… man we're getting ALL angles of the emotional turmoil. though we see chikurun in episode 50 of the original series so maybe it happened offscreen? with dokuromushe there was kind of a crisis and considering the kira tie-in shenanigans its entirely possible the show is gonna consider that portion non-canon which is fine honestly.

but about what he said. and the preview. hisui is. inside of haa?? like as her power obviously but like. we saw her ass get absorbed by chronosto. im unsure how this is going to shake out. we got a scene mirroring the one from earlier on, i'm assuming its gonna be the same except hisui's face is cast in shadow instead of haas… haa never got to meet hisui. the scene on the bench shes clearly detatched from the situation. but i have to imagine the rest of the show is gonna be "how do we bring hisui back to life" instead of the fucking doomerism dealing with grief and pain thing i thought was happening. i mean YES it IS that, and obviously chronosto is of the opinion of "dont do anything and revel in escapism", but the message is clear here that what you need to do is do all you can to push through it. i just hope the show doesnt botch the lesson here with mirai and liko trying to suppress their pain. like on some level they DO need to since they have lives outside of precure and need to do precure stuff too, but like. man these two need to work SO MANY things out, and i hope they get the opportunity before the end…

i guess hisui might come back. or maybe she never left. i dunno. in my mind it feels slightly cheap but we don't know enough to come to that conclusion yet, so i'll keep my mouth shut about it.

haa is rocking mirais fit. it matches her hair so well that i honestly didnt even notice. it makes sense though, considering that the power of linkle emerald is gone now, so no more green. my girl got demoted to a pink cure. or i guess shes not a cure at all anymore.

scary thought: what if they do a cure joker. what if they have felice come back as like a haa hisui fusion thingy. no cure hisui the same way theres no cure regina but you kinda sorta get it so youre not allowed to complain. i dunno, not a substantitive thing, itd just be ever-so-slightly-lame. i dunno.

regardless, i really wasn't sure the direction this show was going in when i started this episode, but now that i have an idea im back to being excited instead of feeling immense dread all this week wondering how this would affect things. episode 8 is titled "hisui and haa", so we're finally gonna get the lore we so desperately need. hope its cool. good episode!

people don't talk enough about chikurun

HE'S SO CUTE 😭😭 crying rn watching ep 42

[ssnowssakura01]

Watching MahoPre Mirai Days Ep 7

Aight, things have been somewhat calm, but that doesn't mean everything's okay. Hi-chan's still gone and a new enemy appears and it's worst than their previous enemies. Man, precures can't have a break, can they?

-Spoilers Ahead-

Thoughts:

I really like when many people are aware of strange things happening in their place and trying to find out how did the cause. It has a more realistic vibes and shows the severity of the situation imo. Though, do you think they would addressed to the strange things that happened five years ago during the time where the monsters made a public appearance to the public?

Ha-chan's wearing Mirai's outfit looks good on her.

I absolutely love the role-reversal where Riko is the one now encouraging Mirai, as it reflects back to the original where Mirai is the one looking out for Riko. It really shows how much they have influenced each other. I live for this moment. My MiraRiko side has been fed once again. Thank you very much, writers!! <33

Man, I love Riko's growth. From a failing her magic lessons to becoming a teacher who wanted to let everyone know about the excitement of magic. She had come so far.

The sudden funny moment of everyone commenting Chronosto's "wan" caught me off guard, even more so when it reacted defensively lmao

If I had a nickle every time an enemy trying to persuade Miracle about the past, I'd had two nickles-- Tho, seriously, this is getting concerning cause it making it look like Mirai is bound to fall to the enemy's hands sooner or later

Kudos to Ha-chan helping Miracle and Souta to snap out of it

Oh, hi Chikurun

Mirai and Riko's visions are getting more and more frequent which kinda concerns me now. Though, now looking back, I noticed a bit of contrast in their visions of the past. Riko's visions tends to leave in a more positive note than Mirai's. It's a bit ironic as we all know Mirai's name literally means "future" yet she is the one who is more stuck to the past. Well... understandable, but it's not healthy to stay in the past. But I'm sure Mirai (and maybe Airu if they plan to redeem him) will learn that soon (after she get her angsty moment and maybe some MiraRiko heartfelt conversation, ahem ahem).

Am I right to assume that Airu failed his goal of travelling back to the past using Chronosto's power and just got played by it? From what I'm understanding it right, Chronosto just trapped people and give them the illusion that they went back to the past. Though I have to admit, Chronosto is a terrifying villain. Because compared to other villains in precure who used people to make monsters, Chronosto also used them as a food source of sorts, consuming their time energy, just like the Weeping Angels, except that it doesn't really send the victims to the past but rather just trapped it in the form of a stone statue (note: i do not watch Doctor Who but I happened to stumble the angels while I was scrolling down on youtube lol).

Aight, looking forward for the next ep.

[keep-on-trying]

I seem to be kinda inactive here atm, sorry about that, I'm... not really feeling active atm, but it does often come in phases!

I managed to watch Mirai Days ep 7 just now, live from TV Asahi. Also am up to date on IdolPre so not behind on that either.

Now, Mirai Days eps are getting to the point where dialogue-wise, I don't necessarily know what's going on, but the way it manages to use nostalgia in a way that doesn't feel invasive and overused to me feels so darn good. Also, deeper spoilers on ep 7:

The way ep 7 of Mirai Days starts the second half of the show with new villain gimmick where our first victim is Souta, the boy from Mirai and Liko's classroom who Haa-chan bonded with for his love about soccer. Souta got attacked by Chrono-usto(??? The way Liko said his name was confusing to me LOL. I know officially it's Chorosto but Liko did not say it like that, maybe it was just... weirdly spelled out) by showing him his future, where they lose their dream of becoming a soccer player and then is brought to the happiest moment in their life, which involved Haa-chan. I really liked that! The villain gimmick for second half is messed up, but fitting for the show's theme, and I like that Haa-chan got to be the key to getting Souta to wake up from that state of... being turned into a statue of a soccerball. Like Ire was turned into a statue of... something. Hm. Interesting.

Then the ep ends with Chikurun coming to see the girls, with a gift from... the fairy queen? Relating to Hisui?

Also, Batty appeared when they started investigating Ire's home for any books of dark magic. Since Batty is an expert as ex-dark magic user. That was very nice.

Also, I think Haa-chan is unable to use magic at the moment, thus she's not becoming Cure Felice just yet. And we also saw how Hisui came to be and how Haa-chan got locked inside the Smartome, but I admit, I'm.... confused about that scene. So I hope subtitles give me more clarity on that.

But yeh! Mirai Days keeps on being good. I hope it lands a good ending in 5 weeks time.

Biggest Hater : Round ONE

(Pre-redemption)

No propaganda submitted

[offbrand-deltatraveler]

Good News:

I’ve just finished Maho Tsukai. Which means it’s finally time for the review

Cure Up Rapapa! Keyboard, project my thoughts onto the canvas!

First of all I love the characters. A lot. Mirai, Haa, and Mofurun being silly and stupid with Liko as the straightman is the best thing ever, and Haa is so insanely adorable even when fully grown. I’ve loved her ever since she started talking because omg she’s so silly. The 12 Faces Of Haa-Chan was this season’s peak episode

And my thoughts on Mirai & Liko are as you’d expect. It honestly feels weird to me that Liko is a purple Cure because they’re just so much of a package deal that I ended up thinking they were both pink

And aside from the main characters, I feel there were fewer important side characters in this season but I enjoyed the ones that were. I never got to gushing about Cassie too much because I was too busy focusing on other things but I really loved the concept of the crystal ball being whatever personality traits she has. And Mofurun & Chikurun are really cute together, and I love the happy ending that Batty & all the other servants of Dokurokushe got. As well as how Batty got to be super badass in the way he wiped the floor with Orbo’s last Donyokubaru, and the way they returned. I do wish that Gamets & Haa could’ve actually gotten their epic battle though

And Dokurokushe & Yamoh also getting their own happy ending in the last episode was really cute

Though there is one character I really disliked and that was the second female villain because I hate when the female villain’s only purpose is to be the annoying and weak and stupid one in a roster of cool strong smart boys. I get if there was no room to make her important but at least make her have any purpose other than to be the extremely mockable one who constantly whines about getting mocked

Also slightly unrelated but I love how Ichika being the only one at the KiraPati implies that that episode takes place after she left

And moving on to story,

I really loved it. First of all I love magical school stories due to both my experience with other ones like Jewelpet Twinkle and The Elementalists and just the aesthetic, but more specifically portraying light and darkness as the will of life to spread vs the inevitability of death was a really cool thing to do with the magic season. And I love the lore behind the Magic & Non-Magic Worlds. The old world and everything we know about it is so beautiful. And Haa’s final form being Mother Rapapa herself was so cool, as well as the Precure’s whole journey ultimately being about restoring her power

Also the thing with Orbo having created Dark Magic was cool because before that point I was starting to get kinda worried that Dokurokushe and Duesmast would have nothing to do with each other

Also like normally the Precure struggle with the final battle to some extent but the way that the Maho Girls wiped the floor with Duesmast??? /vpos They broke a bit of a sweat dealing with his agents but after that it was a piece of cake

And finally regarding music,

God I love this season’s music so much. It’s just all so beautiful and wondrous and mysterious and glorious and sfkfjdjfjdjfjdfjdj god I love it so much. And the transformation music especially. Ruby and Topaz’s transformations were the only really memorable ones between Mirai & Liko but I love Haa’s Emerald transformation theme so much. It’s so peaceful and warm (Just like Cure Felice herself and the slowness of her transformation) and the background vocals (Which are real lyrics by the way) remind me of Star Twinkle. And the song for the Extreme Rainbow is so exceedingly magical and twinkly and sparkly (As well as the Extreme Rainbow itself being my favorite special attack)

And of course the first opening slaps and is so so so fun to sing. I really want to memorize it all someday

Overall, 9/10. Everything was really enjoyable and everything that wasn’t is overall pretty easy to look past

I’m gonna be taking a short break after watching the movie, and then I’ll be moving to Tropical Rogue next

Mahou Tsukai Eps 42 & 43

Is it just me, or did Orba EXPECT Chikurun to switch sides? After all, of all the people he could've strong-armed, he picked a small child. We also get some more lore on the nature of the two worlds, and on the origins of magic itself. And the questions of Ha-chan's nature keep piling up.

Also Sparda is back.

On the first one, Chikurun says: "Hey, are ya sure about not brushing your teeth?", then on the second one Mofurun responds, with their mouth full of sweets: "I'm a teddy bear, so meh-fluff." /End description]
