 Two more episodes of Pretty Cure, and two
episodes of more of the same - although at least this time, it's not
just Nagisa and Honoka that are dishing it up, thanls to the appearance
of their 'stunt doubles'. There isn't even a new Prism Stone to
be found. At least Poisonee's doing her best to keep things
moving along...
14 - Fake or Real!? Impostor Pretty Cure on the Loose!
The girls around school are beginning to talk about Pretty Cure, and
some of the ideas they have about what they might be like are a bit
surprising to Nagisa and Honoka. At least it shows nobody's
figured out their real identities yet. People are beginning to
see Pretty Cure in places the girls haven't been, though - seems
someone's trying to steal their thunder, as it were. Poisonee
soon figures out what's going on, and decides that a PreCure
versus PreCure battle could be interesting...
15 - The Extremely Dangerous Family Vacation!
Nagisa & her family are away on summer break, and by sheer
coincidence they're staying at the same run-down inn that Honoka &
her grandmother are staying at - and so, it seems, is Poisonee.
Nagisa would rather be staying in a state-of-the-art hotel, thank you, but that's
another story... The inn is on the shore of a lake, and as usual
there's a legend surrounding the lake and an island in the middle of it, so Nagisa & Honoka head
out to the island to check it out. No prizes for guessing who
decides to follow them out there - but when Nagisa is injured while
battling Zakenna, it looks like PreCure could be in trouble...
If the intro didn't give it away, there's not really much here for me to write about - PreCure is firmly stuck in it's mid-season-filler rut, and the Monster of the Week(tm) routine is very much in full swing. But then, this is a magical girl show, so would you really expect anything else?
One thing I have noticed in the last few episodes is that Mipple &
Mepple have been much more low-key than they were at the beginning of
the series - and given that they're possibly the most annoying sidekick
critters in all anime, that can only be a good thing.
PreCure / mahou shoujo fans keep watching. I figure
everyone else that doesn't fall into those categories will have given
up by now, anyway. :)
