You Can't Stop Me

Wow, the MV became like "The Wheels on the Bus song". Its abit childish, but the MV gave more props to the background and the feeling to the song. I think the dance is okay, at least it matches the signs when the lorry was passing through (like Stop). Its a general likeable MV.

Glitter Force (remix)

And I thought it would be the normal version of the song. At first, it felt like bummer, but the remix kinda felt good especially with the vibe of the beat. However, I think its abit boring for them to just stand on a cloud and have a rainbow behind them. I know they want to mimic the 2nd ED of Smile Precure, but it felt plain.

Yeah

I liked how they changed the characters silhoutte color in the beginning, with balloons rising above (A new idea for my Precure OC's attack~). The song seems quiet at first (like Heartcatch's 2nd ED, the Tomorrow Song), but then it goes with a wild beat; it soothes the heart for a party mode. Its a good song.

Every Woman

This song... first I like it! But... here comes the review: The song is upbeat and for dancing. BUT! The dance choreography... isn't it abit not suitable for children? I mean, look at Glitter Lucky (Cure Happy)'s expression and dance move at 0:28-0:30, she seems abit sensational and abit erotic with her movement! And the song has a feeling of being a mature theme, so I think although this song is good, it doesn't match the theme of Smile Precure/GF.

(I'm actually a choreographer/dancer myself; not judging the moves, but I think its WAY over the top for a GF ending. I might choreograph this song, but never will put it in a children's show as an ED. Imagine the official Smile Precure ED was this, I wonder how many parents would think about how their children dance like a snake twirling around and twerking in front of the TV or computer, lol)

Lucky Girl

The MV is somewhat similar to another GF Ed, "All Stars". The layout is basically the same, except the sparkling visuals background it has in the latter half of the MV. The song is upbeat and good. Not much to say, except the dance is interesting.

Overall Review:

The characters have better dancing animation and quality! Its not as robotic and its smoother (Not as good as Dance Central, the dancing game but oh well) Its not the best MMD models or dance, but its a major improvement regarding to the backlash from its previous MVs. Some of the songs this time were good and it provides a wider theme and variety to the GF franchise, notably with the backgrounds and effects it includes.

However, some cons I see is that some songs feels somewhat unrelated to the show like Every Woman. I understand Lucky Girl refers to Glitter Lucky, however the lyrics and the music tempo feels more like a Lucky Woman instead. Also, the colors and the shadings of the models are still awful; I know Precure Eds does use Photoshop and combined art drawings on their Eds, but the GF Eds are straight out of MMD without further polishing. I guess thats what we'd get... if Doki Doki Precure is dubbed...

So, what do you guys think of the new Eds? Old Ed reviews are also welcomed to share! Yes. Dokidoki Precure will be dubbed in English by after Glitter force finish with 40 episodes with 2 seasons. And others are Happiness Charge, Go Princess and Maho Girls Precure. How many times are you going to assume things?? As many times as he likes, apparently...
