About me
I am an aspiring rock musician who is into the Pretty Cure series. I usually upload images with Assistive Touch from an Apple iOS device at screenshots showing frames from video sites such as Youtube. Don't expect screenshots to be sharp. Feel free to update my images if you have a sharper screenshot. The best ones I can get for Precure is when characters pose, reaction faces and perspective shots because there isn't any videos where I can use Assistive Touch to take screen captures of the video that is showing on Apple devices without any subtitles, even in Japanese displayed. So, if you happen to have screenshots only that doesn't have subtitles or closed captioning, you can update my or even other users' screenshots. Uploading frame-by-frame images is what I rarely do if wikis don't allow gifs. I also comment and sometimes add trivia, animation errors, quotes, and categories related to the Pretty Cure series. The Assistive Touch from Apple devices got me into the video screen capturing enjoyment. Also, I just wanted to have galleries make you feel like you're watching the show. Or I just upload screenshots that I like. One of my comments may be sensitive to people who can't handle constructive criticism, but I tried to avoid repeating myself. There are some comments I don't feel like posting because they are usually comments I would rather comment to the public and not on the internet, even if it is possible to remove them from my publish canon.

How I got into Precure
I've been a fan of anime since I was 14 years old. Sailor Moon brought me into the world of anime and into Magical Girl anime. I first discovered Precure from the 3DS community on Miiverse of a Happiness Charge Precure video game. The first Precure clip I watched was from episode 21 where it has that moment where Hime was tricked into getting out her room, causing her to scream at the top of her lungs. Also, the Precure series is one of the Magical Girl shows that I like, one of those shows that I wouldn't care which of them is my favorite.

What I think about Precure
Just as similar as Sailor Moon like most anime fans who are familiar with that Magical Girl anime. I even think the Precure series is far better than Power Rangers. I'm one of those people who is in to Magical Girl animes ever since Sailor Moon came out. The violence was toned down, making it less like Power Rangers, the villians are less ridiculous as puppets or animatronics but they can still have some silliness once in a while, and girls are worth looking over in terms of appearance if not just for their personas. The Cures visually having another Cure in their mouths are a good touch, referencing the phrase "screaming on the top of your lungs" like singers. Very often I wouldn't believe the Precure series is aimed for children because ever since Sailor Moon came out, it made Magical Girl anime attracted to young males, and there are also times like when the words like "shimatta" and "kuso" would be used. Whether or not if they are a hit or miss, I may not care about which of the Magical Girl animes is my favorite, that I even recommend to people to give the series a watch for anyone who is into Magical Girl anime. My favorite Magical Girl show, I'll go with Sailor Moon. As for Precure, I would say Heartcatch, and my most frequent is Happiness Charge.

Personality
You might think of me as a kind, and quiet person, but I can get excited or angry easily. I don't show much of my sadness. I have the personality of a rock singer, as you might say. I don't stand people who can't take someone's one constructive criticism.

Anime
I do enjoy other non-Magical Girl animes like Slice-of-life and romance.

Music
I like rock/metal music. I enjoy singing. I also play guitar, and sometimes bass. I also dreamed of forming a rock band. I also experimented on doing English renditions of Japanese and other foreign songs. Most including Precure songs.

Voice dubbing
Whenever I'm not doing music, I like to do English voice dubbing on anime and other foreign shows. I even sent demos of me doing the voice of Coco, Seiji, Tarte, Pop and Joker to Studiopolis, and my English lyrics to Toei, hoping whenever Viz Media is planning to dub the Precure series, they might hire me. Sadly, as of August 2017, I'm officially quiting on being an English voice actor.

Active status
I have a career of becoming a musician; a singer, guitarist, and a bass player. That kept me busy from editing wikis. I have no problem with that. I do stuff like playing video games or editing wikis whenever I have some spare time.

Cures that I like
Some of the following characters are based on one of my personalities, how I relate to them, or how they are good in terms of character development and story progression.


 * Mishou Mai: Perhaps my favorite white cure in the series who appeared in what I consider is the coolest season. This cure is nothing like me, and she still has a well-behaved, beautiful, and smart personality as well as trying her best that makes her not only a great character, but a good role model to kids. Saki is great too, but I feel like crediting her more than Saki. I can be gentle, innocent, and wanting to be an artist too, but I am nowhere near close as her. Even if I was, that is still not the reason I like her. I like her because she at least has an identifiable character to know who she is.


 * Akimoto Komachi: My favorite color is green, so this can be the first reason why I like her. I also like this character because I like to have my imaginations turned into stories. Most of the time I'm quiet, I get excited quickly, although I get angry easily, but I'm quick to calming down. As a character, she is the only green cure who acts girly while Toei thinks green is a boys color, which in reality, is not.


 * Kurokawa Ellen: Something about Ellen's appearance makes me find her likable. Although, she looks like an emo or goth, but she's so kind and cute that you wouldn't think of her as a stereotypical loner emo. Even my guitarist friend dresses in goth, but he's a nice guy.


 * Kise Yayoi: I like to draw anime and manga style characters, but I'm not usually shy about showing my work. I even showed my music instructor my rock riff sheet. Her shy, crybaby character made us hope she will stand up for herself and get stronger, and it works great.


 * Hino Akane: This is a character who is not personally relatable to me at any level, which is good because there things that I like about this character at least if not how she develops. Her Osakan accent is pretty cute, her tomboyishness and overall girlness is still like a girl to the point where she does like cute things. She didn't inspire me to speak Kansai Japanese because the reason I chose to speak Kansai is because my consonants are soft. So I thought Japanese people might understand my Japanese if I speak in Kansai dialect.


 * Midorikawa Nao: Again, my favorite color is green, making me give my attention to her. I have a fear of certain bugs including bees and ladybugs. Back in first grade when my class let ladybugs from a bugfarm fly loose, which developed my fear for them. But, I'm OK with butterflies. As a character, she acts like a good parental/authority figure, even for an older sibling, which is how real-life older siblings should.


 * Shirayuki Hime: I think she's the most developed character in Happiness Charge. She's like Sailor Moon, and even provides comedy relieve. As a singer I am, I think her mouth residing copy would be like me screaming at the top of my lungs. I can sing high voices like Rob Halford, Steven Tyler, and Geddy Lee. Back to Hime, she is an example of a comedy relief character who has a reason to be there, so she can learn something and get stronger along the way. She could be a great Precure leader than Megumi.


 * Usami Ichika: She is so cute I just want to hug her. I also like rabbits, strawberries and other fruits. I don't think she can get under my skin for the way she is because she's so cute that we just couldn't say "no" to them. In terms of character, she didn't do anything wrong like annoying her friends in a way that makes us annoyed by her. She does care for them and doesn't give up. She keeps on trying, and she could be one of the best leaders in Pretty Cure. Maybe in the 3rd or 2nd spot, I guess.


 * Tategami Aoi: I'm a musician, I act like a rock singer, and her personality is like me. She looks nice in a dress for the Lady, but I do respect the way she doesn't like to wear specific outfits. I don't like to wear for example a dress suits, long sleeves, or polo shirts because I prefer to look like a metal or a hard rocker, or wear a t-shirt, long pants, and accessories as my way of looking natural. As a character, it's great how she can develop as a strong Cure, who doesn't let anything get in her way, that even viewers who find Aoi different from them would love her. She is multi-talented, which makes her more of a character that is needed.

Cure outfits that I like
As a musician, I do take a look at fashion that represents a genre the right way without looking like a poser who lies about their talent. Here are the following that I think either suits their character, style, or some that I like.

Fairies that I like
These are the fairies that I like for their usefulness in the series, outside the series, or other reasons.
 * Hummy: Sure, she may be naïve, but maybe we can consider her as the cutest mascot in the Pretty Cure series.
 * Tarte: He is one of the male fairies can have his funny moments. The way he reacts makes me smile.
 * Pop: What can I say about Pop? He is the best male mascot in the Pretty Cure series. Why is that? I can like characters that can be cute and cool at the same time; well, human characters can be cute and cool too, but I can like them too. Back to Pop, male mascots are great for a girl series because, not because to cater to boys, because male fairies can show girls that male mascots, and boys can be cute too. Well, besides him saying otherwise. His male voice is great, voiced by a man, and matches his man character to make him believable without the need to give him a fairy voice. And he is a great help to the Pretty Cure as an ally, and a guide to the right direction. Just like the girls, he is pretty cool.

Characters that I dislike
Characters that I dislike for their portrayal and roles.
 * Kujou Hikari
 * Aida Mana: We all do. I don't have to explain it. She is the reason why Doki Doki is terrible. She steals all the attention, not letting other Cures to develop. Everything always revolve around her, like she has to do everything because the Cures are no help, because she did not allow her friends to get stronger. She is also ugly. And don't get me started on her singing. It sounds just as bad as a circular saw cutting a 2x4 stainless steel board. She is unquestionably the worst Cure in the franchise, and we can't help that it feels good to bash this character.
 * Kenjou Akira: Akira acts like a Mrs. Perfect, never showing other emotions than smiling all the time, background characters liking her because the writers want them to, overtaking other characters as a show-off, and making Ichika look like a bad character when hiding the fact that Akira is actually a girl, even tricking other people too. And how does that give her a fan club?! I even think the way she portrays brought shame to the Takarazuka Revue. And that is sad even if I don't care for them. This is not how a character should be made. Takarazuka people don't trick people about their gender, only when they are doing a story and acting, at least from what I've learned. I agree that Miku should've been a Cure instead. I agree that Mana is even worse. Akira is the character that actually made me legitimately angry. I just didn't fully experienced Mana's character, like I know she is terrible, that I did not want my hatred for this character get to me. Akira is not the worst Cure in the franchise, but she is close.
 * Hariham Harry (fairy form): I was expecting Harry will be next Pop. I was wrong. He was labeled as a handsome fairy, but his fairy form is voiced by a woman all because Toei thinks men can't do fairy voices. Pop is a male fairy, voiced by a man, and it doesn't sound high pitch. It sounds normal. I wouldn't even like it if a man voiced a female either. I don't know if the real reason is so that Harry can blend in as a hamster. Harry is better off staying in human form. He just ruined Hugtto for me despite the show's potential.
 * Wakamiya Henri
