I'm really just surprised how decent Fresh is so far, in contrast to the anon from the last thread who said he was having trouble getting into it.
I don't think it's doing anything SPECIAL so far, but it really doesn't waste a whole lot of time getting into good scenarios either. Pacing is excellent and I think a lot of that is owed to the show just going "trust me bro these 3 girls are gigachad friends" with little ado, then validating it with lots of show-don't-tell. Whole thing feels very "lived-in" without need for much explicit setting up, and keeping it limited to 3 goes a long way to not spreading its goodwill too thin in this regard.
I think this also works with how their personalities shine through well even if there are some more explicit moments of (DING DING DING Love has an almost reckless sense of compassion DONG DONG DONG Miki cares for herself the most of the 3 but has a more subtle and nuanced way of showing consideration for others BING BING WAHOO Inori is more of the instinctive, nurturing type).
If there's one point I'm critical on so far, it's the complete disconnect between the "FRESH" titling and fruity cure naming themes and the actual contents of the show - Peach/Berry/Pine is purely token and there's nary a sign of actual freshness or fruit anywhere. FRESH is definitely more meta in concept about breathing energy into the franchise which is fine, and thematic harmony is a crapshoot across the series anyway, so this isn't exactly a bigass complaint or anything. It's just nice when you DO get it (exemplified in shit like HeartCatch and Tropical Rouge).
Anyway enough blogposting from me.
