I just didn't like 5 De Chance; the arc was unbearable to me. It just felt like it came completely out of nowhere despite it being part of Mucardia's means to pull something like this. (since he was behind the scenes until Bunbee thankfully outed him during Rin's final focal episode)

I didn't mind the PhanPhan twist I admit. Ignoring the bizarreness of Yuko bonding and figuring it out without us realizing it, it makes sense with how obsessively loyal he was to Mirage and how much he cared about her to capture every other Cure at her command, plus similar powers with the mirror sealing and whatnot.

There was still a romance element to the final episodes of HCPC, but I think it made more sense once Mirage finally was back and everyone had a better idea that "dating a God is not a good thing". Heck, even Red realized that and in a way used that to try and screw over Megumi with the Seiji possession; it really is one of the best fights of the series I admit seeing them fight on Red's planet.

My problems with Fresh...eh, I probably could list them but really there were things I didn't like about the season. It isn't the worst Cure season but when you have to put up with characters like Love, Chiffon and even most of the villains not named Moebius (and maybe Eas...since at least with her it made sense and built up what happens when she becomes Setsuna/Passion), it just wears thin.

Finished the first Sailor Moon season, have the whole review up (outside the final stuff) on one of my DA sites (http://atarureviews.deviantart.com) and it still stands up I admit. Won't get to R for a while due to PR stuff but...yeah, I hope SuperS finally works when I see it subbed instead of dubbed.

Starting Go! Princess (finally) Monday, but have seen a few more movies since we last chatted:

-Yes! 5 Gogo! Movie: Definitely not as good as the previous one; a bit too Nozomi focused (even though it was her birthday) and the villain stuff felt like a dry run of what we get in Happiness Charge with Red (and done way better in HC I admit) -PreCure All Stars DX: While the stuff with the Fresh cures isn't that good and Chiffon-Es-Machina happens...again...I do love the interactions of the older Cure teams and some of the action sequences, such as the "run to Yokohama" scene of the first three teams and, surprisingly, Splash Star's test fight with Fusion. (where they don't mess around compared to Futari and Yes! 5; yet another reason to love Saki and Mai) -Fresh Movie: Much better than I want to admit. There were problems (why force the Cures into cosplay in the game board when they're just going to change a few seconds later?), but I really like the stuff with Usapyon and Toymajin...and I find it hilarious that it's true form is a teddy bear, especially since we later get Mofurun...and because the VA did the bear cub in Futari...oh and Cure Flower.
