#dokidoki will never have good subs

[xbuster]

Uh oh

They made the mistake of translating ジュース as "juice" when that is clearly melon soda

[shinneth]

Okay! I’m actually really looking forward to this little series!

AzenZone has been my go-to channel for getting acquainted with the Precure franchise without having to watch the 900-something combined episodes from every series. Dude’s close to my age, so we’ve grown up on a lot of the same shows and whatnot, so I get a lot of his obscure references. I’m probably one of the few who totally got it the few times he referenced Urusei Yatsura in his reviews. :P

He’s also mentioned Ojamajo Doremi a few times in the past (even bringing up how nearly two decades prior, it did a better job at tackling racism than last year’s Precure series), and unlike Precure, I actually have a lot of nostalgia and deep love for the series. “Growing up with it” is a stretch since I was already a high school junior by the time I discovered it, but it was undoubtedly the true successor to Sailor Moon as far as my youth and maho-shoujo anime are concerned.

Because yeah, last week my eyes nearly jumped out of my head when I saw this very blatant cameo on Healin’ Good Precure. That’s one of the only times it’s ever actually happened, which feels odd, considering Precure is pretty much the successor to Ojamajo Doremi in several ways. 

Unfortunately, as stated in the video, Ojamajo Doremi’s always had a bit of a niche fandom outside of Japan. 4Kids getting their hands on the first season reeeeeally didn’t help matters, either. But it’s one of those series where I (along with @47ness​) went out of my way to find as many episodes and merchandise I could get my hands on - because it was quite a few years after Ojamajo Doremi ended before anyone started to regularly sub it. I still have a good number of raw episodes on my external hard drives (and VHS tapes). 

So I always felt a little bitter at the unfairness of Ojamajo Doremi staying in relative obscurity while Precure ended up having a much more notable following. Still relatively niche (even down to the dubs - like, Futari wa, Smile, and DokiDoki got some unfortunate localized treatment... just under Saban’s hand rather than 4Kids for the latter two), but much more prominent than Doremi’s fandom ever was. Guess some of that can be owed to the Precure franchise being much more action-oriented but, ehhh. 

Still, I couldn’t help but beam with pride when I came to learn that Heartcatch Precure, which had a LOT of staff who previously did work for Doremi (most notably the character designs), is almost universally regarded as the overall best Precure series (or at the very least, in the top 2 or 3) - like, it says a lot that according to a recent popularity poll, Heartcatch is one of the few series where every main cast member placed within the Top 25 - and Erika, pictured above, made it to #3, right behind the OG team of Nagisa/Honoka who never weren’t going to be on the top.

Still, there’s always been a unique kind of charm to Doremi that, as far as I know, you don’t really see in Precure and probably the majority of other magical girl series. It had a continuous, ongoing story for its four seasons (plus an OVA that expanded on and added some lovely details), time actually passed - i.e. characters actually got older with each succeeding series (starting at age 8, ending at age 11), and this series so often made the most of this. 

Most impressively for me was the consistent and relevant side-cast. The classmates of the main characters weren’t just background fodder or one-note plot devices - several of them had multifaceted personalities, ties to the main girls, and character arcs of their own! And this shit carried over from season to season - whatever gimmick they had would stay consistent, while at the same time they usually avoided having said character relearn the same lessons over and over again. 

So rarely does any show so admirably pull off a setting where almost everybody feels important to some degree. The FLAT4 - basically Rowdyruff Boy expys from the second season, easily could have never shown up again, but they made a resurgence in the final season. Characters carrying over across the seasons often feel like they’re in a different place than they were when they debuted, and considering how often shows struggle just to pull that off with their main characters, it’s doubly amazing that Ojamajo Doremi pulled this off with far more than just their core cast. 

It also had a very well-executed, well-paced endgame. Dokkaan! - the final season - concluded with every character going down their own path to forge their future. Their final arc wasn’t just some episodic affair that could have taken place anywhere else on the timeline. As their elementary school days come to a close and middle school is on the horizon, Doremi and her friends won’t be tackling that new chapter of their lives together. The series finale is a heartbreaking affair and one I could relate to all too well, as Doremi is forced to come to terms with the fact that all of her friends (even the long-tenured Hazuki) will be far, far away from her in this new chapter of their lives. 

While she put on a brave face for her friends and encouraged them when she first found out that, one-by-one, they were leaving her, Doremi eventually has a nervous breakdown come graduation day and locks herself up at the store where she and her friends have spent so much time together over the series. She can’t bring herself to attend the graduation ceremony - the sorrow tears into Doremi deeply as she finally admits to herself and everyone else that she can’t stand all of this abrupt change that’s going to permanently change her life. Doremi can’t hold down her selfish impulses any longer and does whatever she can to cling to what will soon be her past; her childhood, as it were, as she transitions to becoming a teenager. 

This really hit home for me in particular since I’ve gone through similar struggles. A divorce forcibly ripped me away from my home of 14 years - the lovely house I lived in on a lake ridge, the friends I had grown up with, and an entire side of my family I’d rarely see again after spending so much of my life with them - all of that, I had to abandon. I’m not a social person to begin with - and this was about 8 years before I even knew about my autism. It was a very rough adjustment period that to this day, I still don’t feel right calling my current residence “home”. Since I got a job, I’ve been able to live with this, but it was really meaningful to see a protagonist struggle to let the past go and accept her future circumstances. Doremi ultimately managed to pull through, but it’s still a bittersweet ending no matter how you slice it. 

For a kids show, Ojamajo Doremi had quite a lot to it. Which is why I really wish it was better remembered and honored.

tl;dr: I’m super excited for this retrospective series.

The Twelfth Day of PCDMas

On the twelfth day of Christmas, Precure Daily gave to me...

Twelve final attacks!

(if you want to be reminded of how they go, each title is linked to a YouTube video)

12. Star Twinkle Imagination

I love how they team up with Fuwa for this. Through the power of their imaginations they upgrade their outfits and launch a giant crystal star at the enemy filled with embodiments of all the horoscope signs.

11. All For You!

Every single Precure lends their power, and even a bunch of side characters I thought we’d never see again. Michiru and Kaoru! Cure Mofurun and Pekorin! Royal Candy! Empowered Julio! Wester, Soular, Otokichi, Regina, even Yui! And Bibury being her tsundere self. Also, Cure Echo’s first ever original television appearance! (however brief) FUN FACT: they forgot Parfait in this shot where everyone flies past

10. Sweets Wonderful a la Mode

They build a giant cake around the baddie and then blow it up. It’s goofy and I love it.

9. Grand Printemps

They summon a giant castle, transform into these crazy elaborate dresses with magic floating bows the size of a person behind them, then fly into the air and divebomb the monster! It’s so over-the-top and glorious.

8. Innocent Purification

What do I even need to say? The song is an earworm. The fact that it’s an attack almost seems secondary.

7. Royal Lovely Straight Flush

My favorite thing about this is that their super form is just angel wings. Every other show since Fresh gives them a complete outfit change for a final form, but Dokidoki says wings are good enough.

6. Royal Rainbow Burst

Three words: Beauty the Hedgehog. If you hadn’t made the connection before, I’m glad to be the one to permanently make that association in your mind. Anyway I love the outlandish designs of the Princess dresses and how they get a bunch of Pegasi AND a phoenix to fly through the enemy.

5. Suite Session Ensemble Crescendo Finale

That’s a mouthful. I like that Crescendo Tone just keeps getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger.... this is truly a final attack to end all final attacks. Plus the Crescendo forms are neat.

4. Heartcatch Orchestra

The Super Silhouette forms are clearly Umakoshi (character designer/head animator) having too much fun, he loves pointy clothes and hair. And then their attack is to summon a giant woman to punch the villain into smithereens. Top tier.

3. Five Explosion

I love how this giant butterfly baton just beams the girls up like a UFO before they fly straight through the monsters. This was game-changing for Precure finishers.

2. Spiral Heart Splash Star

The combined final attack between Bloom, Egret, Michiru, and Kaoru that we always deserved is truly grand. The four girls and four fairies all combine their powers to defeat an ancient evil in a fight to end all fights. I couldn’t pick anything else.

1. Extreme Luminario Max

Yes, this tops the list because of how heartfelt it is. You think it’s going to be Hikari’s final stand as she has given herself up to restore the Queen, and all three girls are choking back tears as they unleash their final, most powerful Extreme Luminario with the strength of the Queen behind them. Even if Hikari was seen again less than 5 minutes after this, for a moment you truly thought she was gone, and what a way to go it would have been.

As well as….

Eleven favorite foods! Ten Lords a-helping Nine dance endings! Eight maidens shielding Seven ships a-sailing Six themes a-slaying Five golden cures Four reformed villains Three best friends Two power duos And a whole bunch of Healin’ Good news!

Yes, the list is in (reverse) chronological order because I had a hard enough time narrowing down the 40-odd group final attacks to a list of 12. SERIOUSLY THERE’S A LOT.

SO HERE ARE SOME HONORABLE MENTIONS:

Rainbow Storm (FWPC)

Rainbow Rose Explosion (Y5GG)

Lucky Clover Grand Finale (Fresh)

Shining Fortissimo (Heartcatch)

Music Rondo Super Quartet (Suite)

Lovely Force Arrow (Dokidoki)

All of the Maho Girls’ different duo attacks: Diamond Eternal, Ruby Passionale, Sapphire Smartish, and Topaz Esperanza

Extreme Rainbow (Maho Girls)

I know, I know, it’s over a month past Christmas at this point. The twelve days turned into 35 days. The Christmas decorations are all packed away, the trees have been dropped off to be turned into mulch, and everyone moved on. I didn’t intend for this to take so long, and I’m sorry this is coming out so late. I’ll plan my 2020 Christmas special in advance (I’ve literally set notes for myself right after Thanksgiving lol). Basically what happened is that everything in my life decided to go wrong at once, and I got depressed. Not a day went by when I didn’t think about writing this up, but for one reason or another I couldn’t motivate myself to sit down and do the work until now. I had it in my head that it would be A LOT OF WORK so I put it off until I had time. Then when I finally got to it, it was easier than I thought, because I was overthinking it.

Thank you all for sticking with me for as long as you have, and thank you to my new followers that this sub-project has garnered. With this out of the way, proper Precure Daily reviews shall continue! After all, Yes 5 isn’t going to write about itself!

AOI: Yamato, does it feel good?

YAMATO: (meows)

AOI: That’s great~! You look cleaner now, huh?

YAMATO: (meows)

AOI: This is my happy healing time~

ARATA: The Trimming Prince is magnificently being healed while trimming [the animals], huh.

AOI: I really am~

AOI: Lately, I’ve been running around here and there so it’s been a while since I could feel this fur and warmth.

AOI: (sighs dreamily) The fluffiness is… healing me~

ARATA: Um, Aoi. Can I take a picture?

ARATA: Since we’re here, I wanna share the healing time with the fans, too.

AOI: Fine by me but, please make sure to take Yamato’s good side.

ARATA: That’s what you’re worried about?

AOI: That part’s important. Right, Yamato~?

YAMATO: (purrs)

AOI: Ah, so cute~!

ARATA: Aoi? Aoi-kun? You’re becoming a bit creepy.

AOI: So mean~

AOI: But, it’s fine. There’s no one here. Let me be healed all I want today.

(Aoi’s phone starts vibrating)

ARATA: Hm?

AOI: Huh?

ARATA: Aoi-kun’s phone is ringing. It’s from Tsukishiro-san. Here. (Arata hands Aoi his phone)

AOI: Hm? From Tsukishiro-san? Why?

AOI: Hello, it’s Aoi. Tsukishiro-san, what happened?

KANADE: (on the phone) Ah, I’m so glad you picked up.

KANADE: (on the phone) Aoi-kun… There’s been an incident.

AOI: Eh…?

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

[01:50]

  AOI: (in a panic) Please believe me, Tsukishiro-san!

AOI: I’m innocent!! That’s the wrong person!!

KANADE: …! O-oh…!

ARATA: Aoi, there, there. (Arata pats Aoi’s back) Calm down, okay?

ARATA: Tsukishiro-san’s getting scared.

AOI: No, I mean…! I’m…! IT’S NOT!! I can’t calm down--!! I…! I’M…!

AOI: I didn’t go on a shopping district date!!

AOI: I DIDN’T!! I definitely didn’t!!

ARATA: That’s what he said, Tsukishiro-san.

KANADE: A-ah… Yes…

ARATA: We got a glimpse of a never before seen flustered Aoi so, I feel like it would be a bit of waste but…

ARATA: To put it simply… Can you tell us the details of this “Satsuki Aoi’s Heart Throbbing (Star Mark) Late-night Shopping District Date!” article? (1)

AOI: Arata!! You’re totally enjoying this, aren’t you?!

ARATA: No, no, Aoi. The only choice is to be interested since we’re already here, ya know?

ARATA: Gravi’s Prince, Satsuki Aoi, went on a late-night shopping district… (Arata starts snickering) d-date…!

ARATA: Ah, I don’t really care but, the words “shopping district date” sounds a bit old, doesn’t it?

AOI: (Aoi starts hitting the table) I! Honest-to-goodness! Do! NOT! Care!

KANADE: There, there, Aoi-kun. Please calm down.

KANADE: Please don’t tease him, too, Arata-kun.

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

[03:13]

 KANADE: Here you go. (Kanade hands Aoi some tea) Have some warm tea to help yourself calm down.

AOI: Th-thank you very much…

AOI: (sighs)

ARATA: So, this whole riot was started by some random person’s tweet?

KANADE: Yes. A guy who looks like Aoi-kun was seen being friendly with two girls along the shopping district late at night.

KANADE: So, the real talk was about “Is it really him?”

KANADE: There is a picture of the person in question and at a glance, it does look like Aoi-kun in a disguise.

ARATA: Heh~ Then, he’s a hot guy?

KANADE: (laughs) That’s true.

KANADE: Though, considering the lighting, the angle, and the camera’s quality, it might not really be him.

KANADE: In any case, there seems to be a lot of people who believe that it’s not him, too.

KANADE: The opinions seem to be slightly scattered.

AOI: By “slightly,” how many people are you talking about…?

KANADE: According to our confirmed information, it’s about one million.

AOI: …! That’s reached quite a lot of people, huh…

ARATA: It might escalate from here on, too.

ARATA: It must be hard being popular, huh, Aoi-kun?

AOI: I’ll upload a picture of your weird bed hair later, Arata…!

ARATA: What kind of revenge is that?

KANADE: It’s okay, Aoi-kun.

KANADE: Just like I said a while ago, even the agency itself has looked into and confirmed that the person in the picture is not Aoi-kun himself.

KANADE: On the day the picture was uploaded, you were unmistakably together with me, Kakeru-kun, and Yoru-kun, weren’t you?

AOI: Y-yes…! After the interview, the four of us went out to eat with the staff. And Tsukishiro-san took us all the way back to the dorm.

AOI: You did, right…?

KANADE: Yes.

ARATA: (disappointed) Oh, really?

AOI: A-ra-ta…!

ARATA: Sorry, sorry~ I was joking.

KANADE: Of course, there is a possibility of you sneaking out of the dorm late at night but…

AOI: Tsukishiro-san!?

KANADE: (laughs) I’m so sorry, I was just joking as well.

KANADE: I know that Aoi-kun’s not the type to do something like that. And I trust you.

KANADE: The dorm’s security cameras didn’t catch you outside the dorm either.

ARATA: Oh? You check the security cameras even though you believe him?

KANADE: Yes. You might think it a bit uncomfortable but, please do understand that it’s a necessary step for us to be able to protect you.

KANADE: In the case that the situation blows up, they can generally be used to help prove our side.

AOI: If the situation blows up…?

KANADE: Ah, please don’t worry. It really is only a “what-if” situation.

KANADE: The agency and I, as well as the fans, know that Aoi-kun’s not that type of person. But, we can’t deny that there are people who would find it interesting to make a big deal out of this.

ARATA: So, we can assume that he’s popular enough to cause a big topic out of a misunderstanding?

KANADE: That’s right. I guess that’s a positive way of looking at it.

AOI: (sighs) I’m at a loss…

KANADE: It is part of a celebrity’s job to be made rumors about or to be filmed [without their knowledge] but… It must be difficult at times like this, isn’t it?

AOI: Yes…

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

[06:43]

 KANADE: Everyone in Gravi and Procella will be getting a brief announcement from Kurotsuki and I after this.

KANADE: That, even though we know the truth, it might still be a bit of an uproar.

AOI: I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble…

KANADE: Ah, no, no. This is my job after all.

KANADE: In the first place, it’s not Aoi-kun’s fault.

AOI: Maybe I should have talked about this with Hajime-san in person…

ARATA: Ah, that might be true.

KANADE: Ah, I’m so sorry. Even though Hajime-kun is your leader, after you talked to him on the phone, I still did explain it to him myself.

KANADE: I did meet him for a different matter today, too, so it just came up.

AOI: A-ah, by the way… Can I ask how he reacted…?

KANADE: Eh? Ah… Hajime-kun was, um…

ARATA: Ah! Could it be that he was kinda angry? Like, he was feeling vulnerable?

AOI: It’s not me so there’s no reason for him to be angry, right…?

AOI: But… It is true that there was an uproar because of my name…

KANADE: Ah, please rest assured. He wasn’t angry at all.

KANADE: Rather, he was…

AOI: He was…?

KANADE: After seeing the headline on the website Arata-kun was looking at, he…

KANADE: He burst out laughing…

AOI: Hajime-san?!

ARATA: Hajime-san’s sense of humor is pretty shallow sometimes, huh…

ARATA: Isn’t that nice, Aoi?

AOI: I can’t tell if it’s good or bad… I didn’t do anything but, I feel like I’m getting more and more embarrassed now…

AOI: (sighs)

ARATA: But, Aoi-kun’s luck is pretty bad, huh? Just when you thought you’re just going home from work, someone who looks like you causes a huge scandal.

AOI: That’s true… I want someone to take care of me…

AOI: I wanna go back to the dorms right now and have all the animals surround me so I can scream while being surrounded by all that fluff…!

AOI: ALL THAT FLUFF!!!

ARATA: Just their fur, okay?

ARATA: But, man… This guy here really looks exactly like Ao—Hm?!

KANADE: Hm?

ARATA: He really does look like you, you know? A spitting image of Aoi.

ARATA: Speaking of someone who looks like Aoi…

AOI: Arata, can you show it to me on a bigger screen?

AOI: I avoided looking at the picture after all so…

ARATA: Wait… Look, it’s this. (Arata shows Aoi the picture) This profile view is…

ARATA/AOI: CHI-CHAN?!

 ==END==

<------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Translator’s Notes:

(1) The (Star Mark) part is actually said by Arata as is LMAO. The exact line he says is 「葵くんのドキドキ星マーク深夜の繫華街デート！/Aoi-kun no dokidoki hoshi maaku shinya no hankagai deeto.」

Bonus - How Kira Kira Precure Ala Mode is the result of Tri

I would be lying if I said this wasn’t my first attempt at trying to put the thoughts into my head down onto paper. I usually don’t get too far - either it never quite sounding right or some other, more important project coming up.

At this point, you’ve probably noticed the title. It’s not quite a direct shot - some sort of string of dots that connect Tri directly. More of, it’s a path that requires understanding some things and then getting back to the question.

#1: Digimon and Pretty Cure share stuff. A lot of stuff.

On paper, Digimon and Pretty Cure seem like two radically different shows with two radically different fanbases. One is a sci-fi fantasy romp with an ever-increasing focus on fusion methods. The other is about girls in pretty dresses of varying length

But in practice, they actually have lots of things in common. For example, The producer of a majority of Digimon seasons (no really) - Seki Horomi was also the planner for both Heartcatch and Suite Precure.

On the flip side, we have Gou Koga. Serving as the Storyboarder and Episode Director for a couple of episodes of DokiDoki Precure on top of being it’s director. The last position ‘they’ (I couldn’t find a picture of them) brought to Digimon Universe: Applimonsters. Along with a whole bunch of other Precure VA’s.

That’s staff. Even in a company like Toei, there’s going to be some overlap. So let’s talk about the opening moments of Heartcatch Precure.

We have a girl sleeping. In her dreams, she’s treated to a girl getting her ass kicked by another girl while a bunch of small creatures try their best to get away from the carnage. Then the dream ends.

Now compare that to the opening moments of Digimon Xros Wars.

Here, a boy is sleeping. In his dream, he’s leading an army against some other army. Before he can give any orders, the dream ends.

Sure, those seem like two different dreams. But the broad strokes are the same - Our main character has a dream that’s actually a vision of something important.

That has to be a coincidence, right? Let’s look at the villains then. For Heartcatch, we have a woman who belittles people, a man already ready for battle and a composed person. They even have an evil girl with a guy.

Okay. Let’s go over the villains of Xros Wars.

We have a woman who belittles people, a man ready for battle and a composed. Which is on top of a girl and her brother.

Man, ain’t that coincidence. Now, wouldn’t it be funny if our main ‘protagonists’ magical devices colors were A shade of Red, Blue, Yellow and Violet . Oh wait...

#2: Tri’s Development Time vs Tri’s Profits

The phrase ‘development hell’ comes to mind when talking about Tri. Just going from the announcement to the release of just the first movie - Reunion, we have a 15 month wait.  For an animated feature made by a company as big as Toei, that’s an eternity. Compare this to the Precure movie offerings, which come out in two varieties each year - an All-Star/Miracle movie in the spring (In which that season’s characters team up with a bunch of cures, with later movies reducing it down to just the previous two seasons teams) and a ‘solo’  movie in the fall (just that season’s team).

Looping back around to Reunion, the two Precure movies for that year were Pretty Cure All Stars: Haru no Carnival♪ and Eiga Go! Princess Precure Go! Go!! Gōka 3-bon Date!!!. Yes, that’s the real title. 

After a bit of digging, we have 130,363,100 Yen (or around 1,168,285.16 Dollars at the exchange rate when this article) for Pretty Cure All Stars: Haru no Carnival♪ ‘s opening day and 129,383,300 Yen (around 1,159,504.41 Dollars)

So how does that stack up to Reunion? Opening weekend, we have a profit of 59,000,000 Yen (528,744.90 Dollars). By that account, Just on that alone, it would seem that this would mean that Reunion did worse than both Precure movies. There’s just one thing. Reunion had an absurd time in theaters - getting extended all the way into January of 2016 and racking into 230,000,000 Yen (2,061,208.94 Dollars).

But that isn’t the whole story. There’s one, almost contradictory point to talk about.

#3: The Pretty Cure Franchise wasn’t doing ‘good’, but not great.

You probably read that sub-heading and probably thought... ‘how? Didn’t you just say that both Pretty Cure movies of that year made a million (American) dollar in ticket sales?’

Yes, but movie sales aren’t the metric that Precure is usually judged by. No, that would be toy sales.

For context, each season is listed in chronological order from left to right, with 1 ‘point’ on that bar equals a 100 Million Yen and each ‘bar’ corresponding to a season.

Looking at the numbers presented, we have 6.31. Multiply that by 100 Million yen then do the conversion rate from Yen to Dollars...You get 5,654,881.92 Dollars. Don’t get me wrong. That isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination. But to have a decrease of nearly 25%, that’s cause for concern.

Toei thought the same as well, choosing to drop the number of cures for the next season to just two (eventually three) and let Mitsuka Masato direct (the director of the upcoming Digimon Adventure: ).

Yeah. If anything, you got to appreciate the consistency on display here. Even if the .0037007874% is not something for celebration. Something drastic needed to occur.

So while Applimonsters got ready to launch it’s inaugural episode of what was hoped to be a brand new ‘spin-off’ of the digimon brand and keep the momentum created by Tri going, it was decided that to take what was an extreme gamble. If you can’t quite beat them, join them.

Probably helped that they had someone knowledgable on the Digimon anime franchise.

That’s Yukio Kaizawa by the way. You know, the director behind Tamers, Frontier and Hunters on top of working on Xros Wars as an Episode Director. Which is on top of storyboarding a couple of episodes.

I think that’s answer the question, now does it?

[xbuster]

I forgot I downloaded new DokiDoki subs with a new video source, so it’s weird seeing things translated slightly differently
