After a week of catching up with Idol Precure I kinda feel bad for Minamo. Uta is too strong.
>>279464734Minamo and Uta have completely different personalities. Minamo is more akin to a character like Tsubomi who have more satisfying character arcs as they are seen growing throughout the runtime of the show.
>>279465436If she doesn't beat the shit out of some jammerwocks with kung fu I'll be disappointed.
>>279470530Her Musessence is going to be stolen bro. I wonder if it'll make the Jammerwock actually a threat
>>279471403Calist should be a threat.
>>279471558Every arc is a Nacchi arc.
Every episode is a Nacchi episode.
>>279465436>On the way home from Natsu's street performance at Alicepia, Minamo and the others meet Himura Mikan.>She's a girl who is trying to create a completely new dance form that combines martial arts and music.>Inspired by Natsu and Mikan, who are enjoying their activities at Alicepia as they dream, Minamo and the others enthusiastically embark on a plan to make Minamo a major dancer.Wait a minute, is this just a thinly veiled excuse for a kung fu training montage? The mooks are going to be in trouble if she gets even more moves.
>>279471470I feel like he's going to just observe for this episode
What if Minamo seems familiar to Calist?
Gokigenyo princessnon-tachi
>>279471833They just had a training montage, I don't know if they'll need another one yet.
>>279472073>>279471470I wonder what the fuck he's been doing for the last 9 episodes.
>>279473275He's the engineer tweaking the enemies in his workshop.
>>279473275Kneeling before and watching the red queen as she slowly but ominously gathers power.
https://mov3.co/en/tvtokyo/ is working fine. Same for the Utako stream.
>>279473671Thank you link anon.
STARTING SOON, TAKE YOUR PISS, GET YOUR DRINK.
oh shit villain internl strife
Red ball gonna be some powerup item for the mooks.
Is the stream lagging for anyone else?
>>279474691fucked up and pissed in my drink
Nacchi in black apparel looks cool
Nacchi has a good singing voice
release the nacchi song immediately!
>Nacchi has a song
yeah definitely not suspicious at all
she's definitely not going to become a super important character later or anything
>>279474880Damn she sings better than Minamo
I appreciate the side shots of kagari's chest.
Another princess candidate.
Wow, I'm getting mad Hibiki vibes from her training.
Pokemon fighting type gym leader
>>279474900I wanna listen to her song again right now
loving these side characters
all of them are so lively and full of personality
MIKAN WILL FUCK YOU UP EASILY
cooking idol and kungfu girl are both powerhouses
nagase is a pure goofball
>>279475000It's SEELE, actually
>>279475017And a very long one as well. What were they thinking
awww that eyecatch was adorable
Foreshadowing! They are all going to turn into orange juice.
>Nagase saying 'dess'
So, begin, it has. The Kirification of Nagase Ichijou
I like that navi gets a seat at the table instead of just floating around.
longest JIIIIIIIIIIIIII ever
STOP WITH THE PAISEN YOU RETARD
>>279475073She's already the Kiri of this show, let's be honest.
>>279475085SHE WAS ALWAYS DARK
Kung Fu girl can hold her ground but not strong enough to defeat
Mikan would EASILY beat up Bes if they went one on one.
She's fucking trying to fight the Jammerwocks herself. Make that woman a Princess already.
A victim who actually fights back? Holy fuck imagine if she had princess powers.
That Jammerwock is on fire
I wonder if Zeal's henshin was done in an earlier stage of production. Even after being "fixed" it still feels very different from the others
Huh? where'd she get that
why did nacchi's musessence job again :(
>>279475204It has to be intentional. There's something going on there.
Nice that they didn't use Triad Force for this one.
give that musessence to zeal. it's clearly hers
>she wants to tsuyoku naru
MAKE THAT GIRL A PRINCESS ALREADY
>>279475241She did solo it after all.
Mikan (jibun/jibun) is a lovely fighting girl.
who is calist's seiyuu again?
calist doesn't really have as much of a presence as I thought he'd have desu
>>279475294I hope we see her again.
I'm very pleased with the amou
>>279475300He didn't do much this episode. Guessing he was waiting for bass to fuck up again so he could take ownership of the group.
>>279475299Chiaki Kobayashi
amount of unique side characters Princession has. Almost every episode has one.
>>279475299The guy who voices Mash from Mashle
>>279475300It's less of his big "ENTER" and more of a prelude to his actual ENTER.
>>279475340They better bring em back in future episodes.
MAKE HER A PRINCESS ALREADY
>>279475340And they're still managing good nachiservice!
>>279475348He's being announced as the most powerful of the band.
Calist-sama's real ENTER episode.
Fun episode. Enjoyed watching it with everyone here.
>>279475340>amount of unique side characters Princession hasTheir Song Fragments will be useful in the long run. Well, maybe not Nacchi-sama's one...
>>279475204Minamo just sucks at using it like she sucks at everything else. Don't blame Nacchi.
>>279475451Would giving the Nacchi essense to Kagari be NTR?
>>279475421Dark Nacchi is the strongest girl.
Nacchi should turn into a princess and use the nacchi fragment to turn into double nacchi
>>279475392For people that can't read JP. literally, Calisto no Kage
Calist's Shadow or The Shadow of Calist
>>279475024Is EVA still relevant to pull this shit out?
DONT SEXUALIZE THESE GIRLS BY THE WAY
>>279475821Is Star Wars still relevant in the west? It's the same deal.
I can't believe Nachi finally got her performance.
>>279475340It's called victim of the week. Precure does this a lot.
>>279476169Precure victims aren't nearly as memorable or fun.
>>279476179Depends on the season.
>>279475821I'm watching the latest Gundam, and yes it is still a relevant series.
>>279476202Isn't that only becaus Anno is writing Gcucks?
So fucking tired of Nacchi doing shit.
>>279476169precure hasn't done such nice votw in a long long time
>>279476295She needs corruption correction.
>>279476247A massive franchise like Gundam is being influenced back by Evangelion (superficially) in current year still, it's interesting.
Nagase referencing EVA is not lame.
Princession Orchestra BD vol. 1 cover.
I don't think I'll buy those, but the CDs maybe. For my last order, the OP/ED CD was out of stock so I'll probably get it next time.
Mikan's VA is as the same as the girl that Hibiki saved in Symphogear S1E1.
>>279476115And without getting sodomized!
>>279476457>>279476488No wonder where she gets it from. Explains why she was like "YES IT'S EXACTLY LIKE AN ACTION SCENE" she's on that Genjuro training program.
>>279476457>>279476488The girl who started it all..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2lUisoKf8w
>่ผใใฆใใใญใใฎใใ
Nacchi's song.
>>279476605They even made a reference in next episode preview. The Princess Mikan dreamed was Hibiki
>>279476457>>279476488You think we'll ever get a shot of the moon and see the giant crater and surrounding ring of debris?
>>279476816If the staff don't hold back...
>>279476651blessed angel voice
>>279464566 (OP)I'm the other anon whose mom was in the hospital.
I thought I would let you know that she passed away earlier today. Thanks to the anons who gave me words of encouragement back then.
>>279477700May she rest in peace, stay strong anon.
>>279475963Poor Ripple jobbing every single episode...
>>279477700My condolences, anon.
>>279477700Sorry to hear about that. Can't imagine how shitty it must be.
>>279477700Condolences to you and your family
>>279477729>>279477834>>279478297Thanks princessanons.
>>279477903I feel at peace and at the same time, I feel like someone ripped away my very core. When my grandma died, Mom said that she didn't wish that pain upon anyone, and now I get it.
>>279475963The other show for little girls had the MC cumming so this is perfectly fine.
Did zeal get that shard from cooking idol?
>>279479109I'd be able to tell if a RAW for the newest episode was available, gyaoooooooo
>>279479425I feel like minamo should have gotten that one since she was her fan and they're both bakers. Or maybe they can be used interchangeably.
>>279479795No one even talked to her so I guess they just share it.
https://x.com/hightide_miocan/status/1931472258377322671
>>279480081Nacchi did. Unlike the princesses she isn't stuck up and actually invites people to things.
When the director said "if we make a show that adults can like, children will like it too", I didn't think he meant it like "shove it chock full of references only adults could get".
>>279479424https://abema.tv/video/episode/115-120_s1_p10
https://www.umavpn.top
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
Huh. The raws are usually out by now. I guess if they aren't out by noon I'll have to learn how to rip those too.
>>279482433I'm not uploading because I'm not a group and I don't know what to name the file, but to rip you just need
>>279482391
>>279483183Roggan?
Donahue?
Habidakus.
No one talked about the Kamen Rider Wizard reference last episode.
>>279483843It's cute and fun.
>>279483133I am really tempted to finish the MTL subs as quickly as possible, rip the video, and upload it before a raw even exists. There is just something perverse about it.
Instead though I'm going to sleep! I'll try to get it out today though. I'm through the first pass. Most of the remaining work is messing with timing and a few lines that the CC subs overlapped.
>>279483742Kamen Rider is fun. Wizard tends to be not liked as a show but it is overhated.
The guy who is writing Princession and who wrote Nyaruko is a big fan.
I bet even the chef idol character who is voiced by Nyrakuo's voice actress is also a reference to Gavv, the currently airing Kamen Rider (the motif is sweets/snacks).
If you want a show you will almost certainly like, start with Build or Gaim and just make sure to give it a chance all the way through. If you like it, just watch whatever stands out to you from Heisei but avoid Zi-O and Decade because they are anniversary shows. Kuuga and Agito are also best watched in order.
Only shows that are kind of meh from Heisei or don't end well/have a bad rep are
Ghost
W (this is an exception - most people like it but it is overrated so don't expect it to be the best ever, it is just alright)
Decade
Kiva (people either like it or hate it)
Hibiki (meta production issues)
Everything else from Kuuga-Build is worth a watch, even those shows have stuff.
The currently airing show, Gavv, is also good so far.
>>279483843It has potential and I've been fairly entertained so far. It is going to be 40 something episodes though.
>>279483901Forgot to mention that I actually like Wizard, but also recognize it isn't the best rider because it is a little safe and boilerplate.
Also forgot my semi relevant image
>>279483901Ok I'll try build as my first kamen rider cause I like this poster more than the gaim one. I just finished my first sentai season a few months ago(shinkenger) and I really enjoyed it. I remember there being a kamen rider cameo in one of the episodes even though I didn't really understand what was happening too well with that guy. Guess it was hype for fans of both shows.
>>279484815>I just finished my first sentai season a few months ago(shinkenger) and I really enjoyed itFunny that you say that because I am currently watching it and not enjoying it at all save for gold, yellow, and green who are the only good parts. I hate red, think blue and pink are boring. Villains are okay though, not amazing. Also the crossover was from a rider that is bad (decade). Best Sentai for me is Gekiranger, Donbrother, Kyoryuger, and King Ohger so far but I've barely seen much.
Build is very good for sure. Especially if you like more serialized shows.
Did they put up a magical barrier for Nacchi's concert?
My hero is such a fuck up.
>>279475220I feel like Ripple is somehow using it wrong. I feel like once her cooking video arc resolves, she will have an epiphany that allows her to use it fully. After all, all other fragments have granted new abilities, yet Nacchi's is only a minor power buff. Seems kinda fishy.
I feel like there are times when they're referencing obscure /m/ shit that completely flies over my head.
>>279475821Not the first time a kids show does it
Shinkalion and Shinkalion Z both Shinji cameoing as an ally pilot for an episode of each season and the S1 movie (Z also had Asuka, Rei and Gendo showing up for the EVA episode) . Shinkalion S1 also did this same reference to the SEELE meetings
>>279476247More like Tsurumaki and Enokido (same combo as FLCL and Diebuster). Annoโs role is the OYW flashback parts and little else
>>279482356Try watching Heybot. This is normal
>>279482356Get rid of the references and think about what happened in this episode.
SUGGEIII
(almost sounds like ZUKYUUN)
>martial arts bullshit
No that's not how "energy" works
>>279486903>still not 90%Maybe in the first cour finale.
Are we really seriously not going to get the Red and White Queen this season?
>>279487802You're thinking too much in terms of a 1 cour or 2 cour show.
This show is going to have 50 eps, in the grand scheme it's still early.
>>279487849>>279487802yeah thats why its better to have dedicated episode to dorks of the week and random surreal sequiturs
we can get dark nacchi later
>>279487883more dorks=more daughters
>>279464566 (OP)Subs on Wednesday though?
>>279488131Next week better be that mysterious looking purple girl. She had very high levels of daughter energy.
Calist, the strongest leader of Bandsnatch, better sing next week.
If they reveal the strongest type of a Jammerwock is a Queen, but Nabiyu never does a "Madoka episode 8", I'm going to feel cheated.
>>279491193>Madoka episode 8Which one is that again
>>279491108Why isn't he wearing bdsm gear like the rest of the guys
>>279491369>In this country, you call women who have not yet finished growing "girls", right?>Therefore it is natural to call you, who are eventually going to become jammerwock queens, "Princesses".
>>279491605Symphogearbro this is a kid's show.
>>279491193We already know the Queens are around and are actual people.
>>279493132We've only seen the red one in the OP
>>279494700And couldn't be sure if its red queen yet.
May MTLAnon wake up energized and motivated!
>>279485175Seems that way, I mean getting ganked thrice would really be negligence.
>>279499811>getting ganked thrice would really be negligenceYes, imagine if you let that happen and a bunch of people died as a result, surely no one would ever fuck up that bad, haha
>>279485807You need to watch Eva alongside the entirety of symphogear as well as the first terminator movie in order to fully understand this show now.
>got btfo so hard she had to be led back to the battle by the hand
This Princess is in need of another training arc
>>279502462I think you could give Ripple 30 training arcs and she'd still find a way to job.
>>279485175>the two girls unable to enter the zone and watching from outsideClearly jammerwocks in disguise
>>279498739Got a bit of a late start and there are a bunch of lines with the timings all screwed up. Aiming for 8 or 9pm CST for the release
>>279487249So much for studying eigo
>>279492798Episode 9 seems to be hinting at this being a Madoka dark mahou shoujo but aimed at little girls. Alicepians are creepy.
>>279474802Is Calist Nacchi's brother? Is Nacchi going to choose onii-chan over her friends?
>>279487249>>279504987She'll learn to spell properly by the end of the series.
>>279505064No he's not dark enough.
Is Nacchi's new song full of love for Minamo?
>>279507166Yeah they are clearly very "good friends"
>>279487164Genjurou says otherwise. Are you going to argue against a master of action movies?
>>279506564Such a good student of the Hamster
>>279508057If Nacchi does turn to darkness, please give her a cool visor
>>279487249Why'd they give the bunny a chair if he's just gonna float anyway
>>27950398210pm update: I screwed something up a couple hours ago that I'm working on fixing. Once that's done they'll be out. No ETA for now since the last time I did that I called fate down upon myself.
>>279475024Why are these dumbass boomers putting 30 year old memes in a kodomo show? They're not gonna get it. Listen up, no one cares about Rei anymore. It's time to move on.
>>279512146EVA is compulsory education in Japan.
>>279512146They don't need to get it.
It's either for the parents watching or big friends (aka how nips call adult who watch kid's shows).
>>279512146>They're not gonna get itBecause it's not meant for them, it's meant for us.
>>279513052It's prostagma.
>>279505384Obviously he wears a lot of makeup, dude's in a visual kei band after all
>>279513052It's yuri-friendly so far, but you might want to check its sister show: Kimi to Idol Precure.
>>279512146Western kids shows are like this as well.
>>279512616And it works, I fucking lost it when they zoomed out to the hand-painted Seele pillars.
>>279510787Good Morning! I will not bore you with the tales of me fucking up and having to spend hours fixing it. Anyways, subs are done!
The mega has all the episodes I've done so far, just the subtitles in an srt file if you have raws of your own, as well as another way to get the torrent.

>>279517536Thanks other anon!
>>279517439Thank you for all your hard work.
Mikan vs Nagase for the title of green princess
This show is so goofy i love it
>>279519110Magical girls spinning through the air is always a fun time
Just saw a Japanese comment that said Gal isn't popular among kids and parents so Nacchi might not be the 4th Princess.
>>279520379>galyou mean gyaru? I don't think Nacchi is one, she's more like a tomboy.
>>279520456>you mean gyaru?Yes. I'm not familiar with the definition of gyaru though.
How the hell is Nacchi a gyaru
Interesting comments from director Oonuma.
>>279521420What's he saying?
>>279521802They already showed us some hints about secret of Alicepia.
>>279521802You'll begin to question whether our boys are really doing something bad or not. How the Princesses will react to the motive reveal will be important.
But to the young viewership, their actions will continue to be perceived as simple evil.
>>279521802>>279524106And more victims are waiting there. Which means more shards they can use. It's like Persona's social links.
>>279522055>>279524106>>279524408I'm suprised noone is talking about the fact that Calist is working on a different task from the others and that it's apparently going quite well.
>>279525226Calist has been training for his first live performance in front of the girls.
>>279525989Wonder if he'll actually sing or just throw hands like drum did
>>279526991Considering how much the others use their instruments, I wouldn't be surprised if he just says "la la la" to summon the jammerwocks.
Disappointed, but not surprised.
>>279524106This really makes me think that there's some sort of need to farm and harvest Muessence for Alicepia's upkeep. Something like how another's happiness may mean another's sadness, greater good and all that.
>>279524106Targeting little girls and sucking out their energy will always be bad. Now there might be a bigger bad hiding in the shadows but what they are doing is still messed up.
s2 of symphogear had such a high jump in production quality i really hope the same happens here
At this point they should single Ripple out and use the Jammerwock on her since she's USELESS. Maybe they will be able to do something then.
>>279531890They had over a year gap between end of season 1 and start of season 2. And Iโm guessing a higher budget.
Princession definitely isnโt getting a break, and likely no increase in budget.
>>279532797So dumb how they didn't let her beat the goons.
>>279518710Reminds me. While watching the episode for like the 6th time I had the sudden thought that it's the Song Fragments that the Heroines themselves use to transform. They keep collecting song fragments from all these victim girls. Shouldn't that mean those victims could Princess it up?
I think it'll be awhile before they pull that out though.
>>279518710Nagase is Yellow
>>279532728She is trying her best and thats all that matters!
>>279522055I just watched the episode and got a bit suspicious that they've seemingly kept Minamo making a video as some sort of plot point rather than a single episode story. It makes me think that it'll come back to bite them in the ass, if they do. I don't want to entertain madoka-level plot twists but I see some potential with putting a part of your essence online where it can be accessed forever.
>>279533555When first explaining Song Fragments in like ep3 or so, Naville says that there are two types, the ones used to transform and the ones that can't and can be used for powers.
I want to kiss every girl in this show on the lips.
>>279535700> they've seemingly kept Minamo making a video as some sort of plot point rather than a single episode storyIt's a plot thread connected to Minamo's arc/character development, at first she wanted to just cheer for others, now she wants to step on stage. That's what the Nacchi pep talk was all about.
why are the JP subs coming out later now and getting bundled with chinese subs
>>279536257Do you want the JP subs now? I just have what I ripped so I could make the MTL ones.
https://files.catbox.moe/xl5tvs.srt
I haven't touched them up in any way they are just straight what I ripped off Amazon sunday night.
>>279536392I watched the episode with the aforementioned bundled subs, weren't there uploaders for the JP softsubbed versions before?
>>279536257NanakoRaws is taking a break for personal reasons, according to anon.
FLSnow is a Chinese fansub group who has been working on kid shows for many years now. They'll include JP subs along with their translation if they can, which I think is very neat for a few reasons.
>>279536139I want to kiss every girl in this show on every pair of lips.
I thought this is Kirika at first glance.
>>279533148It's in line with what was shown in the first episodes. The small jammerwocks are easy to push around, but pretty much indestructible unless you sing at them.
I realized what's been bugging me: the weight of the plot doesn't match up to the weight of the songs. There just hasn't been enough stakes to talk about miracles and shit.
>>279541266Seriously though. The whole nacchi powerup does FUCK all, pretty much no point.
>>279541542It is crazy they are already doing group songs. I thought their would be drama and then they would have to move past it for that
Still liking the show so far but it is a strange decision
>>279541542Now that the boyband is assembled I hope we get some plot advancement. Itโs hard to have stakes when we donโt even know what they are trying to do beyond molest a girl every week
>>279541542>>279542251On a meta level it bugs me that all the conflict is contained within Alicepea. If things go south all they have to do is log off. It's literally the "How is online bullying even real" meme. Hope this ends up going somewhere.
>>279542618Alicepia seems like a real place that girls can teleport to, and they seem to be physically there. So in effect itโs all โrealโ.
>>279542618Women cannot survive without social media.
>>279542985Yeah, they can't leave unless they go through the gate, so rather than "online" it's more like the girls live in city A and all the action takes place in city B. We've already been shown a barrier blocking Alicepians from going in the other direction, so I imagine breaking through that is going to come up as an extra threat eventually.
>>279542618>>279541542I thought based off the ED they were gonna have some real life issues to go alongside their alpiciea problems but the last 2 episodes they've been logged in there the entire time.
>>279544222Basically
>(Nagase) Today's Jammerwock was pretty strong for a Pawn.>(Kagari) Yes, it seems like they grow stronger depending on what Musessence they eat.>(Minamo) Oh, so that's why Nacchi's Jammerwock wasn't a big deal!
>>279541542Insert songs for JP kid's shows typically have flashy lyrics like that.
>>279542226I think it's unique that they simply decided "Let's train to do this thing" rather than it being an intense challenge before them per se. Not that I have a problem with the latter, but those small unusual moments make PO fresh in a way.
>>279543345Minamo has her unresolved thing with her family, also Kagari's grandmother and librarian friend still didn't get an episode, they seem like obvious choices too.
Nacchi wore black and sang in this episode, this is clearly foreshadowing how she'll become an evil princess down the line.
>>279545360The wockas weren't able to fully suck up Nacchi's musical power because her will is too strong.
>>279546177She looked so sexy in that outfit. Wish there was more lewds of this series so I could goon out to Nacchi.
>>279546561Anon, she's 13! That's too old.
>>279470530She tried her best.
>>279475085Her Musessence is growing, according to Band Snatch's plan. Once she's powerful enough to defeat Zeal and Meteor in her Red Queen form, they'll make their move.
>>279475204The fragments seem to have specific uses. Ripple just hasn't figured out what Nacchi's is.
>>279478698What caused it? You know, in case I end up on the wrong side of a magical girl.
>>279552447Why's they draw Nacchi so creepily?
>>279483603I haven't seen Wizard. If I ever have enough quiet seasons to get through my existing backlog, I might check it out.
>>279483901I thought W was great...
>>279484909>King-OhgerThat was a very good season if you can ignore the obvious video wall backgrounds and overuse of CGI mecha.
>>279487611We'll hit 90+ when Calist gets his song.
>>279487124Nagase is 66% legs.
>>279510020It's the polite thing to do. Same as giving him a cup of tea when he has no fingers to pick it up.
>>279487124>>279555209CLAMP ass looking motherfuckers
>>279491193It's possible. But if all of the Jammerwocks are based on chess pieces, will there be a king as well? Surely Calist has to be the Red King?
>>279517439Thanks MTL anon! I feel/hear my brain juice fizzing when I get hungry. I'm sure that's nothing to worry about.
>>279505064I'm wondering if he's related to Kagari. Are the lines "I sing for someone, believing it will surely reach them" in her main song referring to Alicepia's victim of the week or someone specific?
>>279511982Looks like she's eaten too many puddings.
>>279554718Most don't like it because the plot is boilerplate and predictable but some of the characters are really good, as are the gags and there are some really memorable moments.
Not the best rider had to offer but definitely overhated.
>>279554854W was... fine.
It has a bunch of issues though, objectively speaking. The last 10 episodes come out of nowhere practically, and the show is kinda boring before Ryu shows up, and the main villain just kind of lets the protagonist live tons of times even though he has no reason to.
The whole gimmick is partner work/buddy cop stuff and honestly other riders do it better. OOO comes right after and it does it way better, Kuuga does it better, Build does it better, etc.
The middle of the season when Ryu shows up until the last arc is really good, but the rest of the show has some big flaws that people barely seem to talk about.
>>279555025It is best enjoyed if you have seen Kyoryuger too.
Also complaining about obvious CGI is such low hanging fruit talking about any tokusatsu that I don't even see the point.
>>279524106Bes and Drun aren't too bothered by their defeats, suggesting they're not actually trying to defeat the Princesses. If the only thing they want is Musessence, they've got plenty of time to teleport away before the Princesses show up. At the moment, studying the Princesses appears to be their main goal. I expect Calist to begin explaining things next week.
>>279543345Kagari's grandmother's days are numbered...
>>279552447>>279554525Nacchi is jealous of Minamo because Minamo lives a blessed life and she wishes they could trade places. Even before becoming a princess its clear Nacchi is jealous of Minamo's above average income lifestyle. Nacchi is the one always picking up Minamo, never the other way around. Nacchi probably lives in a dump with a bunch of siblings while Minamo lives a luxurious life with her high earner parents.
Once Nacchi realizes that not only was Minamo blessed in the real world but also Alicepia by becoming a princess she's gonna blow a fuse. Nacchi spends all that time and effort practicing to be a better performer and doing street performances even after being assaulted NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. Once the reveal happens she's gonna have a breakdown and vow to tear Minamo limb from limb.
>>279557295I'm not gonna argue that W is a top 1 season but I do like it quite a bit and would put it in my top 10.
Shotaro and Philip's charisma and the detective plots are dynamic enough to carry it, sure a lot of episodic at first but it's a good type of episodic with each moment and plot thread having momentum towards a resolution, even in OOO while you have some great episodic stories in some moments you're just kinda waiting for something to happen, W is very tight in that sense.
I still recommend W to Precure fans because it's an easy transition and has a good balance of stylish and wacky, even if I do prefer shows like Kuuga or Build in the long run, W does a hell of a good first impression and I think for beginners a first impression is important.
>>279558482>Shotaro and Philip's charisma and the detective plots are dynamic enough to carry itI disagree but I recognize I'm in the minority there. The entire time for W I was waiting for stuff to happen, then it did for a bit in the middle, then the end completely disappointed me. The family kept jobbing and posturing so I never really saw them as a real threat.
And I like Shotaro a teeny bit, but Phillip is flat out boring in my view. He is just more boring Sento from Build. Fuuto PI made W so much better (so far) in my view regarding characterization.
My main issue is that even though they are detectives Shotaro can barely solve any cases on his own, then you look at other rider series where they can so he just kind of comes off as incompetent without Phillip's powers kind of carrying him. Also I don't find them terribly charismatic. They have a couple moments, like I remember the gambling episode as a stand out, but only when Ryu shows up for them to bounce off of and add drama with the "is Shotaro really the best partner for Phillip" subplot do I think the show really makes them likable and gets good. Then it squanders it by the end.
>>279558787I watched W way before Build (I did production order), so Philip did feel quite unique from my POV. I like their dynamic including the asshole bits but I guess that's a hard part to argue since it's a matter of taste at the end.
As for "real threat", that's fair enough but I still think they were charismatic in their own right. I don't judge villains solely based on threat level though having charisma and threat is certainly something that I wouldn't complain.
>Then it squanders it by the end.I don't even think the finale is the type that ruins what good the show had, it just isn't as epic as it could've been (which desu isn't something exclusive to W), I do think the post-series media ends in a better note even if the focus shifts to other characters. (by post-series I mean the live-action ones that came out right after, Fuuto Pi is a great sequel too but I put it in a different category because of the time gap).
>>279559153Liking characters is a matter of taste so if you like them I'm not gonna debate that, but I will say there were better buddy cop dynamics in my view before W.
Den-O with the Imagins was better (even if they also bring in a literal who at the end), Kuuga was better, and Blade was better. Still going through Showa so can't say on that front, but I just found that their partnership wasn't really that special compared to other Heisei or even some Reiwa shows like Gavv. It's not like Shotaro even has to have him alongside to become W, the finale shows that he can just become a rider anyway.
Anyway, the family had potential but for some reason they tossed them out for the random bad guys at the end when they could have done so much more with them.
I don't get why W gets a pass for that by so many people but Hibiki doesn't, they practically do the same thing and I have the same problem with them but honestly I enjoyed Hibiki much more before the writer change whereas when I saw W twice I only really got into it after Ryu showed up.
>I don't even think the finale is the type that ruins what good the show had, it just isn't as epic as it could've beenI think it does. The whole show is partially built on finding out who Phillip is and his relation to his family and then they speedrun it only to being in some random guy at the end.
Not even getting into the fact that Phillip dies twice and is brought back twice either, which is really silly in my view.
Also this is just personal taste but I really hate the W suit.
I hope Princession makes more modern rider references, I am convinced the baking idol was one because of Gavv in addition to being a Nyaruko one since the two are basically inseperable, but who knows.
>>279559583I still disagree but we're spamming the thread too much at this point, so have Rambo Kaede.
>>279559830I mean I'm not trying to convince you, just saying why I don't like it that much and think people tend to rate it higher than it belongs.
I agree though, enough rider talk.
I haven't seen Precure so I'm not sure how dark shows like this tend to get, if at all, but I hope the plot is something really substantial and there is a bit more character drama and inoue tier misunderstandings.
>>279559906Precure uses a vaguely similar structure to Rider but there's less "happenings!" and misunderstandings, it typically favors SoL over drama and serialization (although even that depends on the season, but it's a very present "default").
>>279538568How did these lips make it onto a kid's show?
>>279561029Precure did the same thing.
MIIIIIIKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>>279563065They are definitely trying to sell lipstick there, which makes it hit different.
>>279564999Actually Doki Doki Precure (2013) didn't have a make-up line yet, it started very recently with Tropical Rouge Precure (2021).
>>279566374lol cute
Wonder if the boys will get bunny forms like navi when they get purified
Screw you, Ripple. She wouldn't have needed to defend herself from Jammerwocks if the Princesses were on patrol instead of inhaling mascot fluff.
>>279569561Personally I would rather blame the bad guys for the bad things they do than the volunteers trying to stop them from doing the bad things
>>279569561That's a weird meta way to look at it.
If the show was just the girls patrolling like a pseudo police it wouldn't have space for the cute SoL, which is a major selling point for the target audience (and big friends who enjoy moe cuteness).
>>279569561Remember they are in Alicepia to have fun first! Being Princesses comes second - Nagase
This whole thread is like Symphogearbros discovering kid's shows for the first time.
>>279570744Yeah /pc/ and /ai/ are more experienced with these types of shows, this place is comfy but you can tell there's a lot of tourists.
>>279570744>>279570864On the behalf of some of the anons @ /sgg/, please forgive us. It's been years since we got something from Kaneko and Agematsu
>>279570744IDK the producers have dropped that they thought the show was pretty dark for a kids show multiple times. They also said the 1st cours goal was to get us to like the 3 main girls. So clearly they don't mean anything in this season is dark, so let the bros theorize on what could happen later in later seasons.
we're getting new songs?

>>279570864I will take this kind of thread over those shitty generals any day.
>>279574341Look at this glutton. She won't be satisfied by only a bag of cookies
Minamo and the green girl (forgot her name already) suck ass. Doesn't help their personalities are pretty much the same. Kagari is the only worth watching this show for

>>279572330Ripple even jobs during the song releases

How do the girls in symphgogear transform with just the necklace? If the symphogears power comes from ancient relics shouldn't the girls need to carry the relics around? But all they use to transform are the necklaces which all look the same. I don't get it.
>>279597924Relics fragment is in that necklace.
>>279597924https://symphogear.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-complete-symphogear-g-keyword.html?m=1
User's Pendant
The pendants worn by all Symphogear users other than Hibiki were created from their respective relic fragments. They function as a sound amplifying microphone which allows the linked users to be endowed with the power of the relic when they sing. Activated relic fragments can be temporarily reconfigured into their Symphogear form once their energy reaches a stable level.
>>279597924>>279598450Sacred Relic
Various myths and folklore from all around the world have often spoken of ancient weapons with hidden supernatural powers. Impossible to produce with today's technology, they exist as crystallized forms of heretical technology (black arts) that are being excavated from ruins and other locations.
Due to the passing of time these artifacts have been exposed to much deterioration and damage. Even through large excavation projects, finding pieces that are completely intact is incredibly rare. Therefore, in most cases, only "relic fragments" have been recovered.
Relics that are in a grounded state can shift into an active state through the power of song, thereby releasing their inner power.
>>279597924I'm rewatching season1 with friends which is where they go over this. Basically the necklaces contain only a shard of the original relic. The necklaces job is to resonate with the phonic gain of the wielders song. It uses this energy to break down the shard of the relic into energy which it reconstructs into the Symphogear armor. This is why they are required to sing the entire time to maintain functionality. If the wielder stops or their phonic gain dips their armor loses power and they become vulnerable. Generally only one person can use a given necklace but there are a couple of exceptions. The necklace tunes itself to the wielder and has 301,655,722 locks on it which require training or gumption to unlock. Some wielders require performance enhancing drugs to even wear their symphogear but the traffic light girls are all naturally or unnaturally talented at it.
Additionally there are complete Relics which are all dormant but can be activated once they absorb enough phonic gain to recharge their proverbial batteries. Complete Relics can be wielded by anyone and require no song.
Only 7 necklaces were ever made and after season 1 it's unlikely anymore can be made.

Well it wasn't WakuWednesday so I maybe it'll be TometeThursday?
