Nacchi is the definitive best girl.

Episode 22 subs:
OrcheriAnon - https://nyaa.si/view/2016970
WakuTomete - https://nyaa.si/view/2018769

I can't believe how good Nacchi has developed. I really hope she gets to be a princess.

Midseason feels like the end.

What the fuck do they even do with 2 more cours.

>>282247977
An evil God will take control of her body and she becomes the final boss.

The fight scenes in this episode were really cool.

>they reduced The Boys to the kirakira from whence they came
NOOOOOO!! Not my dorks... Punished Nana better teach these brats a lesson!

>>282248983
>>282249030
PO has 48 episodes and we just watched almost half of them. I really wonder if there will be 2 more princesses in 3rd cours. Or they are the new enemies.

>>282249667
Here's my prediction based on absolutely nothing except my gut feeling:
>Red Queen gets defeated
>this somehow destabilizes Alicepea
>Cheshire Cat/Mad Hatter propagandizes against our trio
>a new group of "counter princesses" appears. Possibly Sax girl, Tall library girl and random white haired girl
>our trio will have to find a way to stabilize Alicepea without the Red Queen while dealing with the connundrum of facing fellow Princesses

>Nips crying for Band Snatch's leaving
Based villians.

One is yellow.
The other is green.
Know the difference.

You will apologize for ever thinking she was evil.

In all honesty, I love Nacchi.

I feel bad for him.
Maybe the princesses are the true evil.

>>282252620
Man I hope they aren't really gone-gone. Guess I'll have to wait for subs to figure out what they were saying at that part.

>>282252322
The Chad support Nacchi VS the Virgin worrywart Miku

>>282252322

i haven't watched this since ep 15, is it good yet

You dropped it right when it gets good (episode 16 reveal)

Super Higher Dreamer!!! is so hot blood reminds me of Symphogear.

>>282254843
It does remind me of the songs they would sing when they X-drived. Which is I guess what take me higher is supposed to be.

So this is what happens when you administer Nacchinium straight into your veins...

Where does one go for the songs around here? The usual site seems to have none of them aside from Triad Force

>>282255579
>真紅の荊
>真 【シン】 truth, reality, star performer
Did they really need to give a shade of red such a cool name? The japanese language is so chuuni.

>>282255579
Can't hear it ;_;

>>282257473
Kaneko and Agematsu are adults but with chuuni spirits, said Nana while Symphogear G airing 12 years ago( she hersef is also chuuni too)

>>282257473
>same kanji as in 真っ直ぐ
I choose to believe this is a symphogear reference

>>282257559
>Kaneko and Agematsu are adults but with chuuni spirits, said Nana while Symphogear G airing 12 years ago( she hersef is also chuuni too)
And thank God for that! The way they combined action, emotion and mythology in Symphogear resonated with my own chuuni brain like nothing else in the last decades.

>>282256393
We’re stuck with streaming services for all the singles. If anyone knows how to rip from Apple Music, that would be nice. There’s also the new set of character song CDs coming out on Wednesday.

>>282257473
>>282257766
You do realize that using 真 for colors is a standard thing in Japanese, right? 真っ白, 真っ黒, 真っ青, 真っ赤 etc. are all things you find in dictionaries

Yes, and?

All hail our Royal Highness, the Red Queen!
May she avenge our boys and give us TOTAL PRINCESS CORRECTION!

>>282258737
This is 100% a hero song, not a villain song.
The princesses are evil.

Nana wills it.

I'm glad Ripple's second biggest fan, Mirai, made it into the episode. She even wanted to go and help her...

>>282258737
Thanks!

Enjoy your victory while it lasts. Nana will put you in your place in no time.

>>282261707
Is anyone actually happy they won?

>>282262845
I'm both happy that they won and sad that Band Snatch seems to be gone forever. Also, since it was revealed that Nana voices the Red Queen, I started cheering on her evil ways for fun.

I wasn't ready for Band Snatch to just disappear into a puff of sparkles, hopefully they'll be back in some form eventually
>Captcha: TR4G8D

I guess this 100% confirms we're probably getting new princesses then? Maybe even rivals?

Apologies but I woke up and my Internet was fucked. They aren't sending anyone out to fix it till tomorrow either. I'll have to either think of some way to overcome that when I'm finished or just wait till tomorrow morning when they come out and fix the internet.
I guess the real problem will just be the torrent. I should be able to transfer everything to the Mega with my phone.

>>282265831
No apologies necessary. Thank you for your service!

No problem! I'm leaning more towards it'll be out tomorrow.

Not sure if win or loss. After all, we lose a lot of bare leg...

>>282278487
I guess Take Me Higher is decisive battle only like Symphogear's X-Drive.

>>282278618
While that would make sense, their Song Fragments did fuse with the non-Princess ones. Guess we'll see if that's permanent.

>>282278793
It's also interesting to note, that while the core gems of Meteor's and Zeal's Song Fragment seem to have stayed the same, the core gem in Ripple's Song Fragment has changed from a deep blue smooth gem to a very pale blue almost white cut gem. To my layman's eyes, the new gem looks like a diamond.

>Nacchi is gonna be in the midst of the confrontation with the Red Queen
I'm sure nothing important will come from this.

>>282285112
red queen is gonna possess her...

>>282285600
When she said something along the lines of
>This is the power I was searching for!
upon seeing our girls achieve their new form, my first thought was whether she meant Take Me Higher or Nacchi, who was seemed to be the necessary catalyst to make it happen.

>>282285112
>>282285600
I really hope they pull a mahoako and Nacchi gets raped in front of Minamo.

>>282285946
Sir, this is a children's show...

>>282286211
A children's show that started with Nacchi getting metaphorically gangraped in front of Minamo
It could happen

I just hope there will be interesting new villians and new princesses in later cours.

You know, there should be a PO version of Gaijin Guys meme. I mean Symphogear had it so why not?

>>282286701
Symphogear was also dense as hell compared to PriOrche. So as much as I like this show it has too many comfy slice of life episodes that would make it really hard to make a decent edit.

>>282285691
the hope for dark nacchi lives on

>>282286371
minamo literally got wet after witness this

>>282286946
Awwwwww... Sorry for asking too much.

Nacchi's POV.

>>282287206
That was just the opinion of little old me. Obviously if someone wants to make the edits I wouldn't complain.

>>282287305
Now I imagine slime Nacchi low on Minamo-nium

Does she even need Minamo-nium?

Man if you don't count the opening this episode has 5 songs. 2 of which are new. I can't remember if symphogear had any episodes with that many concurrent songs. I know Agematsu promised more songs the longer it goes.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis

Van Valen named the hypothesis "Red Queen" because under his hypothesis, species have to "run" or evolve in order to stay in the same place, or else go extinct. As the Red Queen said to Alice in Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass in her explanation of the nature of Looking-Glass Land:

Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.[4]

>>282290634
Ah that explains the heavy focus on evolution in the narrative.

I was going to mention that the 幼体 juvenile form and 成体 "Adult/Mature Form" thing with the Jammerwocks are words generally used only with insects(from my understanding). So I was drawing some parallels with the Princesses new form basically having butterfly wings.

>>282290634
Alice in PO.

>>282290634
Phoneposting, Nonny? You should know better than that.

>use theory of evolution in a kids show
That's why I love Getter faggot Kaneko.

>Zeal literally has red butterflies overlaid on her in the intro when she transforms next to Ripple
>the painting Nacchi stants in front of has four flowers: an upside down yellow one on the left, a right side up white one on the right, and in the middle a right side up red one crossed with an upside down purple one. Is this a metaphor for characters in the show? We know Nacchi is probably purple
>there's 9 song fragments the princesses have, which makes 12 with their own 3. I doubt the series is going for a zodiac motif on top of everything else but wait actually fuck me there's a song fragments about twins please tell me you can't just map all 12 to the zodiac
>the whole roses and thorns motif with BS and the Queen is yet another Alice nod, though here it's taking from the Queen of Heart's rose garden
>that anon a couple threads ago was 100% right and the purpose of Band Snatch was for someone to become stronger, but it didn't matter if it was them or the Princesses. The Red Queen is there to recruit them for whatever the actual threat is if he's fully right

>>282289347
Thanks anon. God damn do I love Nacchi.

Dark Nacchi within the week.

The Jubjub Bird is canonically known to sing (well, okay, it's more of a general bird cry I think), there's no way it won't be relevant.

>>282291720
Good catch on the butterfly painting. I'm not super familiar with all the zodiac but that might be a fun thing to look thorugh

I wonder if that other Anon that was saying that someone else was going to make Alicepia Hell was right all along and it's us who are the dummies.

>>282292745
I should probably actually read some of the Lewis Carroll stuff I have had bookmarked since this show started.

>>282293137
>There are probably going to be more victims
Are there? Band Snatch is gone, they don't need to power up any more, and the Queen literally has her source of Musessence right there in the Princesses.
>Nacchi's is literally the sun
Associating a lion's mane with the sun is not unheard of iconography, to be fair.

We getting a new OP?

>>282264448
If they were evil princesses working with the queen sorta like Symphogear GX I would cum lots. I'm not sure what they are going to do for villains of the week now.

Princes/a/nons why am I so sleepy tonight?
I need a Nap with Nacchi...

>>282295783
Good night.

I was combing for sleepy Nacchi images when I came across this. Foreshadowing much?

So the Queen is 100% putting Nacchi in the princession equivalent of the Shénshòujìng right

I've seen lewd pics of Ripple and of Zeal, but none of Meteor. She couldn't possibly be that unpopular, right?

Americanized crap for Xenophobes

>>282290634
>>282290792
Wait, is this secretly an adaptation of The Goddess of Everything Else?
https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/08/17/the-goddess-of-everything-else-2/
RQ = Goddess of Cancer obviously, speculatively the White Queen will end up being Everything Else
The evolution references, Band Snatch being explicitly predatory and the Princesses sort of implied to be doing the same thing in a more subtle way, strengthening things through conflict, etc.
RQ even "stretches out her clawed hand" over the battlefield to power up her minions

>>282298933
I would love it if the themes and subtexts kept getting deeper and deeper while staying child friendly overall. So the children will go

and the adult otakus go
>Is this a crticism of mystic gnosticism?

>>282299571
>I would love it if the themes and subtexts kept getting deeper and deeper while staying child friendly overall.
I think that's one of PO's goals that Director Onuma wants.

Remember that a core plot point of Through the Looking Glass is Alice becoming a Queen by reaching the end of the board.
Remember that Alicepia has existed for generations upon generations.
Remember that Band Snatch was repeatedly mentioned erasing memories of both girls and Alicepians.
This has all happened before and it will all happen again. It must be no coincidence that the first new Princess was red.

Here's your protagonist

Look at her go!

Some nips said Red Queen could be Princess Emeraude in Magic Knight Rayearth

>>282301671
It did feel like the Red Queen was looking for a replacement. Maybe whatever her position entails is both physically and mentally draining.
>>282301822
>Princess Emeraude in Magic Knight Rayearth
I never finished Magic Knight Rayearth. Can you elaborate?

>>282301891
>Rayearth
I recommend that you watch it first because there's an interesting twist imo.

>>282298933
That's never been translated to Japanese, so I don't think so.
But they might have a common ancestor.

>>282301792
She's so fucking cute

>>282301792
>>282301803
Her V2 transformation sequence is kinda long winded. The intro can be cut shorter.

>>282302649
I joked with my friend when we watched the episode yesterday. "They are really proud of this one for some reason. The other girls don't even get a transformation anymore." Anyways I chalk it up to a maximum money saving maneuver. Every second she's doing that is one they don't have to spend more money which is why it's so long.

>>282301891
Yeah I've long read Princession as Princess Succession and just been wondering if it was titled like that because they were going to overthrow the queen in the end. However it seems like she was looking for the successor herself.

I'm thinking whatever the threat is that she is dealing with it takes all her effort to bring it to a stalemate, the running as fast as you can to stay in one place thing. The whole music app thing is just to feed her small amounts of Myuchikara to be able to maintain the stalemate. To break the stalemate she concocted the plan to raise of the level of the next generation of Princesses. She knew that Princesses spontaneously appear when Jammerwocks appear so she dipped into whatever dark power is required to summon them. Along with turning her 4 fluffy friends into jammerwock-hybrids. Then if they are able to beat her she'll know they are strong enough.

I'm just still wondering what Calist was doing during the 1st season. They said he was handling something else but like what was it? Still hope the guys return as their stuffed animal forms

>>282302868
I'm really glad the pacing seems to accelerate a lot, so we can get answers to all the questions that were raised.
>I'm just still wondering what Calist was doing during the 1st season.
I completely forgot about that. The only hint we have is that the main goal of Band Snatch's mission was to raise a faction that is strong enough for... something. As I'm typing, I'm wondering if it'll turn out that Calist was somehow orchestrating the appearance of new Princesses. But I don't know how he would have done that.

>>282303021
>All of them are either Foxes or Dogs
>They just wanna fulfill their missions for their Master

>>282305228
The fandom of an entire genre starved for proper romance... Did producers really stop because of a handful of salty otaku, who couldn't handle teenage girls swooning over teenage boys?

>>282305511
I think that only happens on Precure series...

>>282305597
What non-precure mahou shoujo show targeted at teenage girls or younger had a romantic interest for its main character(s) in recent years? The last one I can remember is Shugo Chara...

>>282285691
My bet is on Nacchi

>>282310650
What sound does she make when you poke her bellybutton like she's the pillsbury dough boy?

Thinking back, Band Snatch kind of has to return eventually, they have unresolved foreshadowing with this girl. Unless the route we're going is that she learns of their identity and demise, and ends up resenting the princesses for it. I'd be on board with that too.

>>282313569
Actually, hold on, wasn't she voiced by Elfnein too?
Kaneko you motherfucker, you better not be playing the long con.

>>282313569
Band Snatch will transition.

Her CG model gives me return the slab vibes. I hope she'll give us some good evil monologuing about her goals on Saturday. I'll miss bandsnatch, I liked Ripple CQCing Calist.

>>282314242
I have to assume she'll sooner or later be moving around a bunch. I see no other reason to make her CG if not that it would be a massive pain to animate a design that elaborate, but if she's just moving her arms they really could have just drawn her.

>>282280792

>>282316443
I am sorry to inform you that (actual spoilers) they literally just fucking died. But they are very cute and good boys who get very good songs and a crossdressing episode.

>>282316522
Band Snatch will be back in the final arc. Mark my words.

>>282316642
They made way too much merch of them for them not to be back, let's be real.

I'm listening to Perfect Showdown, Super Higher Dream and 真紅の荊 and it's so good.
I still can't believe they've got Nana Mizuki-sama to sing for Princession, the musical output is so damn strong in quantity and quality. And it's supposed to get even better towards the end of the anime, crazy.

>>282316642
I'd rather see some of the girls they attacked pick up their instruments. To see the birth of a new Band Snatch.

>They're the Autoscorers of Princession Orchestra.
Which is why I suspected Naviyu to be like Elfnein, i.e. sent by the Red Queen and partially memory wiped. But that seems more unlikely nowadays.

>>282324652
He's established too goofy and herbivore to pivot into a badass anymore IMO. Poor rabbit.

>>282323842
My foul mouthed doll wife Garie...

>>282322369
The youngest cunny.

>>282328847
Can someone please translate this? He isn't actual asking her to suck "it", right? right??

>>282328954
Oh so I can explain a bit. So the kanji 吸 has the meaning suck, inhale, or absorb and so most words using it do as well. The word we have is 吸わせて which is one of the conjugations of 吸う, btw was starting to explain how that works grammatically but I am finding myself weak in that area it is sufficient that you know that it's really 吸う, which I have included the definitions off Jisho for your convenience.

So yes it could indeed be translated as suck but I don't think that captures the meaning of what he was saying. Looking over the possible meanings and also taking in the context of the show, remember they were pressing their face against Naviyu earlier in the show as "pet aromatherapy", it's probably best to translate it as some form of sniff or smell. Those technically have their own word but it is what it is.

>>282330097
Thanks for the detailed explanation. For some reason, translation errors almost always lean towards innuendos...

>>282332200
>>282332200
No problem, I ran into that specific translation error before somewhere else so I just happened to know the answer. I'm personally curious if a Japanese person who didn't have the context of the show would know what he meant by 吸わせて or if it's just us foreigners(and LLMs) that are confused.


I blame the innuendos on the fact LLMs have an unbelievable amount of smut in their training data.

>>282332812
Google translate isn't LLM yet, and even then Gemini kinda sucks ass. If you can provide a proper kanji transcript of the panels (there is no good OCR) then I can toss them into Claude and see how an actually good model performs.

Anything is possible with Princession I feel like.

Do you guys think that the princesses will have new solo songs for TMH or will the form be relegated to group finisher hell

>>282339530
I guess we have to wait till next month. Still don't know if TMH is decisive battle only.

Ripple sure is a lot less blue than the others are yellow and red. I never noticed this before. White Queen Ripple, when?

I want to be pegged by meteor while zeal spits in my face

>>282341654
The painting Nacchi steps in front of with the roses clearly spells out how Zeal and Meteor will fall to the darkness while Nacchi will become the purple princess and Ripple ascends to whitehood.

>>282341654
Well you have to remember she's Alice. I think her design is supposed to invoke anyways.

>>282343850
Does the book ever say if Alice becomes a Red or White Queen? I know BS goes with Red, but looking at the canon illustration her crown is much closer to the White Queen's.

>>282344268
I have not read it.

Man this is starting to feel like that meme that goes "Nietzsche says this" "No he doesn't" "Have you read any of his books?" "No, have you?" "No."

>>282345367
Get fucking reading, then. https://www.arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/annotated-alice.pdf

You guys remember to use spoiler while posting ep24's preview.

>>282345836
You better remember to leave until Saturday, in a little less than ten hours.

>>282346195
No way, if there's even a hint of corruption in any of them my fap material for the rest of the week is sorted.

Enter Nana.

I can't believe that Gita got gitagita-ed

Cute dog

>>282350005
which dog is your favorite

>>282249030
That's what's confusing me. The Jammerwocks are useless and Band Snatch have been essentially killed off, so we're either going to have an entire cour of 3v1 fights against the Red Queen or she's going to have to pull a new set of villain generals out of her ass. I've got a feeling cour 3 won't be very good.

>>282249552
Oh, I guess they can combine fragments now? Obviously they do it to get their second forms but I don't remember seeing them mix power-ups like this before.

>>282251321
How's Minamo going to marry him now?

>>282252322
I didn't say she was evil yet.

>>282252620
He didn't get to wear a cute dress and makeup again...

>>282267380
The top girl is the white queen, not a princess.

>>282350835
It's hard to say. Drun is my favorite Snatcher not Bes, but cavaliers are my favorite of the featured breeds.

Any update on blu ray anon?

Princess/a/nons...

>>282355826
>>282355811
I am once again asking what they'll do with the next 2 cours.

>>282355858

This is what you sound like to me, mate.

That is what I'm sure will happen

>>282355919
Maybe his uncle works at Silver Link.

Episode 24: “To the Ends of the World”
After defeating Band Snatch with their newfound power, the princesses are confronted by the mastermind behind it all.
The ruler of Alicepia, the Red Queen, declares:
For Alicepia to survive, its people must grow stronger.
She reveals she had been imposing trials to spur their evolution.

>>282356528
I told you everything is but a Getter reference.

I'm guessing they'll use OP1 as a battle song for the 3rd or 4th cour climax then. I'd be shocked if they didn't do it.
>>282356864
It's good timing that the Getter storytime is running right now.

...Nacchi?

>>282357340
You did watch last episode, right?

>>282344268
Alice is White.
What is "BS"?

Red Queen...

I, for one, am looking forward to Nana singing about Evolution & Evolution

>>282357693
Yeah I know the chess game Lewis insists is in the book but I'm wondering if within the narrative itself she's specifically called out as a White Queen and not just a Queen.
>BS
Black Souls, but going more in detail would be a spoiler for that.

>>282357693
Band Snatch

The Red Queen is either
a) good, using questionable means to achieve noble goals, thus deserving of our love
or
b) evil, thus requiring fixing.

Therefore, haggots cannot lose!

>>282359827
Oh, someone replied before me.

>>282332812
Most would know it means sniff. One of the Precures last year was a cat sniffer and the word came up often.

I already miss my bro...

Now that I think about it, what kind of name is Band Snatch anyways, what it could mean.

>>282362499
It's a pun on Bandersnatch, from Jabberwocky.

>>282362669
Oh, that's very westaboo of them, not even I knew that.

>>282362669
I dunno if Kaneko has talked about where he got the idea from the series but I wouldn't be surprised if it stemmed from him thinking of this wordplay first then back filling the rest.

>>282362898
>westaboo
Alice in Wonderland is known better in Japan than anywhere else these days, I'd wager. They really really love it

>>282363696
It's such a good pun (and Jammerwock is pretty close too) so I wouldn't be surprised.

Waku's subs for EP 23 have just came out:

https://nyaa.si/view/2021250

>>282363696
>thinking of this wordplay
In PO such things were made by Manta not Kaneko. But Kaneko is the person who told Manta to use Alice in Wonderland and its sequel as the motif of PO.

is the full "season" a mostly unbroken streak of 48-50 episodes?

>>282368260
Pretty much. IIRC, it's planned for 48 episodes with a recap episode after each cour.

>>282368260
>>282368373
48 episodes according to Director Onuma .

>>282366711

My cute daughter, Kagari...

princess/a/nons...

>>282370120
Yes?

Of fucking course it's Mizuki Nana.
I am NOT complaining though.

I got shilled this shit by an anon on /pc/. Review time after 6 episodes and dropped.

Episode 1 starts off awfully with QUALITY beyond the worst in precure.
The theme is boring and the whole anime feels like nothing more than a videogame.
Singing while fighting is mega gay and makes this look aimed exclusively at girls, this also immediately breaks down the moment 2 girls fight and we listen to a single song for the both of them.
There's a lot scenes with bad timing, especially bad when related to jokes. There's also bizarre shots in general.
Some attacks and transformations are poorly animated even though they are reused footage, this is the best part of magical girl anime.

tl;dr: This screams noob director and is aimed at females.

Please don't shill this in /pc/ ever again, thanks.

>>282371095
>transformations are poorly animated
THIS! This is what pissed me off the most. Come on.... the transformations are so lackluster. They're supposed to be the highlight of the episode. But these are so.... basic. And the fact that the first time we see the MC transform... it's not even the full transformation. That was SO lame.

>>282371095
>anime for little girls is aimed at females
Shocking!

>>282371321
Precure feels pretty neutral while princession feels exclusively for females. I don't know what to tell you if you can't tell the difference between the two.

>>282371357
Thank you! As a male, I thought I was going crazy. I adore Precure, even the "lesser" seasons. And I also adore Shymphogear. But I simply can't get into Princession. There's just something offputting about it to me, and I can't put it into words. I feels like it's not "for me".

>>282371095
Honestly only now in the past 2 episodes has anything even started happening, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone except for maybe the soundtrack.

>Muh Sakuga
>Nothing has happened until now

This thread is chill can you guys go back to being schizophrenic in /pc/

>>282371667
We literally had a whole half season of best boys being adorable and cool. Princession is very much a character focused show. Ironically though it also has much stronger plot progression than PreCure, whose 'plot progression' is 80% just running in circles.

>>282371357
Precure was conceived as a show for both little girls and pedophiles. Magical girls always had a strong pedo following but I think precure was the first time that openly pander to the pedophiles along the little girls. That define the evolution of magical girls and that's why a magical girl aimed to women feel off for modern otaku

>>282371730
A princession faggot shilled this on /pc/, blame him.

>>282371750
>f best boys being adorable and cool.
Except nobody gives a damn about them. They should have been girls, then maybe I would have cared. I don't give a shit about them.

>>282371785
>self proclaimed "male"
>can only care about female characters

>>282371832
Why the fuck would I care about those twinks?

>>282371781
>>282371785
>>282371357
We get that you guys are watching this show to masturbate and that's fine, I also desire carnally desire Kagari, but if you're gonna do that can you please not come in here pretending to know what you're talking about

>>282371855
But what else is there? Yeah, the fights and songs are really cool.... but what's the point when the characters are just... meh? They're not cute enough nor cool enough. They're somewhere in the middle of both, which make them....well.... mediocre.

>>282371855
At no point did I ever mention sex, you're an idiot. Precure simply feels a lot more neutral and way more fleshed out.

>>282371750
Bandersnatch was the best part of the show for sure. But the girls are just sort of okay.

>>282371095
I think the first 10 episodes are a little boring if you aren't down with the SoL. Some of them I was even like "This episode would be better without a fight".

Zeal's transformation was pretty bad but the other two are very standard. Go just watch every Mahou Shoujo transformation since the 90's, there are a couple compilations on YouTube, and you'll see it's just average.

Meteor's Asteroid Shower and Zeal's Rising Volcano are both great. I'll agree that Ripple Shining Stream sucks.

I dunno what the deal with the timing issues are. I do think nearly every episode has a line where the mouth flaps and the sound are off by half a second to a second but I haven't catalogued them.

Anyways anyone shilling the show is going to be someone that made it through the first season and honestly 11-23 have been great. Idk what I'd rate the first 10 but the next half is easily 2stars better for me.

I'm just here cuz it barely scratches my symphogear itch.

>>282371030

WHERE ARE THE TITTIES

>>282371878
But enough about Kimi to Idol Precure.

>>282372337
The budget.... please understand.

>>282372337
I like that her torso is kind of sculpted like an actual chess piece.

Dark Zeal and Dark Meteor this week.

>>282373576
>Dark Meteor says senpai normally

>>282374378
They should use that as a signal in one of the episodes.

>>282372404
The Idols are fucking ADORABLE. I don't know what you're talking about. That's actually the problem Pricession has: mediocre cuteness and mediocre coolness. They don't excel at anything.

>>282375948
>ADORABLE
meh

>>282375948

A'ight buddy, go take your bullshit spewing dickriding spergfest somewhere else

No need to come in here startin' shit just cuz you weren't satisfied with a kiddie anime

I'm PreCure fan too, but nigga you need to take a chill pill

Also, calling Shin Onuma a noob has me cackling knowing how bullshit that statement is

>>282371781

> pedophiles

Talkin' about yourself there, buddy?

Roblox is a browser tab away

>>282375948
It's probably the lolicon in me but I feel like the only thing the idol designs excel at is eroticism, also the Princesses are plenty cool especially in battle due to the abilities the song fragments give them, like Meteor gets Funnels that double as beam sabers, Minamo Turns into Getter 3, and Kagari becomes a speedster. That is all cooler than anything in Kimi to Idol im sorry to say, and we have only seen a glimpse of what Take Me Higher can do in combat, so its really all up from here.

>>282276402
They're cute young ladies, not sluts.

Mandatory listening.

What a discussion to wake up to.

Yes, PriOrche isn't perfect. The pacing is overall slow and a bit awkward at times. The animation is a bit sloppy at times as well.
It is also however, a cute and comfy show filled with great character interactions. Between Band Snatch and the many side characters, both of which appear just enough to slowly give them and the show averall more depth, I am extremely happy with our side cast. Not to mention the crumbs of lore that get dropped bit by bit, allowing for a lot of speculation.
But I cannot fathom complaining about it being targeted at girls only or too slice of life. Both of these used to be staples of the Mahou Shoujo genre. So much so, that I'm pretty sure that shows like Sailor Moon, Wedding Peach, Doremi and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne sowed the seeds of my love for Slice of Life and Romance when I was a child. All these shows were basically slice of life interrupted by monster/magical problem of the week. To reject these components is to me to reject the genre as a whole.

>>282377338
Kagari's Take Me Higher should have had an even bigger Veil

What did they think was gonna happen?

>>282298228
She has puffy pants instead of a slutty leotard

I hope the Jubjub Band will be as good as Band Snatch.

>>282298228
She's one year younger which may trip into a whole different class of legal and moral standards as to what counts as pedo.

>>282382497
Well, the grass was also flying towards them.

budget-sama...

This show is extremely unlucky to air at the same time as one of the best and most popular Precure seasons. I want it to succeed and become a long running franchise, but honestly chances are probably slim.

>>282394976
I believe in King Records.

>>282394976
They got Nana. They can afford more Symphogear alumni.

>>282395028
Meh, People said Symphogear S1 was a failure when it was airing too.

>>282395066
I don't remember that at all. Symphogear was pretty popular and sold ok.

>>282395080
Nah, back when S1 was airing nips said it won't get s2 because muh sakuga.

>>282395028
It's okay, PreCure will fall to AI next season and people will flock to the superior show.

>>282395028
Ah yes, the mighty otaku, known since ancient times to only be able to watch and support a singular show per season.

I know the competition is tough, but if it's good, it's good.

>>282395028
Remember how many kids went to watch Precure's first kigurumi show at Yomiuri Land 20 years ago? Here is the pic.

>>282395028
The show has been consistently very highly ranked on Nico rankings and the live shows were apparently decently packed.

>>282396097
The only problem is if Takara Tomy would still like to be the sponsor. King Records surely would like to make more sequels because they are organizing committee.

>>282396326
Takara Tomy is no stranger to only mildly successful franchises, really it all depends on how the toys go. They keep making Shinkalion, albeit not super often and with shorter runtimes but it's definitely alive. They also have some Tokusatsu background which from understanding their shows never made too much money but they tried a couple times.

>>282396470
Then I guess it depends on if King Records could convince Takara Tomy again next year.

>>282396816
I feel like at least music wise the show must be doing alright, no? Look at how many fucking song credits there are on the Waku subs on Nyaa now. It's almost getting silly, and I feel like they wouldn't be making this many songs unless they were doing well or they had a plan.

>>282396864
>music wise
Physical copies sold not well but it seems streams are not bad. That's all I know.

>>282393411
why isnt her aura orange?

>>282397322
The flower painting clear shows she's purple.

I like this show and want more of it. Salesfag somewhere else.

>>282398206
>The flower painting clear shows she's purple.
Like a certain other girl.

>>282398550
Who's the better supporting character?

>>282398550
I know this is the PriOche thread but I want to say I'm always glad when Symphogear artists understand the assignment and give the characters a little bit of muscle.

>>282398416
I want my Oz and Little Mermaid Princession series

>>282398935
Nacchi didn't act like a complete bitch when she found out, so she gets the W there.
