Futari wa Precure

Middle school students Nagisa Misumi and Honoka Yukishiro are the epitome of dissimilarity. Popular with their classmates, Nagisa is the school's energetic star lacrosse player, while Honoka is the soft-spoken "Queen of Intelligence."

As unrelated as they may seem, Nagisa and Honoka live double lives as the "emissaries of light": Cure Black and Cure White of Pretty Cure. With the assistance of two fairies, Mipple and Mepple, the girls fight against the Dotsuku Zone—an evil force that has invaded the Garden of Light. In order to prevent the Dotsuku Zone from taking over the Garden of Rainbows as well, the pair must work together to find seven Prism Stones and restore the Prism Hopish to drive out the vile forces.

With strong foes standing in their way, Nagisa and Honoka learn to work together and harness their newfound powers in order to save the worlds from further ruin.

My Review of We are Pretty Cure

Misumi Nagisa aka Cure Black is a Tom boy of the two who great at sports but not at anything else , she the leader , and was the best part of the show for me , she the star lacrosse player at Verone Academy


Yukishiro Honoka aka Cure White is the Yang to Nagisa Ying , so she bad at sports but good at Science, and is smarter than her Jet Black Counterpart , and her parents aren’t always around with her

The plot is about the Prism Stones to put into the ... Prism Hopish , so of course the toys they need to sell in real life , the villains were the low point for me both in terms of Design , and in character personalities

Dotsuku Zone

Pisard looks cool but was taken out very early
Gekidrago is just the big muscle , Poisony is the girl villain , Kiriya was interesting, but fail as a character Splash Star have way better villains than the first two seasons

Seeds of darkness the villain group of the 2rd half of the show isn’t much better plus The big bad Evil King isn’t much of big bad like later seasons of Precure , plus his design is too simple for , but his present was cool

This show have great animation , with dated technology in it , with of course Stock animation for both transformations, and ultimate attacks We are Pretty Cure is a good first try of the Precure franchise, it’s heroines are better than the villains but that not saying much for a franchise finding it’s place in the world , and also Cure Black is better than Cure White

Mixed Feelings

Just finished my first Pretty Cure season!!~ 💕 This show is really funny & heartwarming, it even made me feel nostalgic even though I never watched it when I was younger. The music was incredibly catchy and I never got tired of listening to the intro & outro. I would recommend this to you if you like early 2000’s anime/magical girl shows, or if you like Precure and want to see how the franchise began/start watching from the beginning. I would not recommend it if you are annoyed by repetition or are looking for a deep story or fantastic villains.
🌸 My Favourite Characters 🌸
Honoka Yukishiro ... (Cure White)
Mipple
Kiriya

🎀 **MINOR SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT** 🎀

The Good!!~
Nagisa & Honoka’s friendship was incredibly genuine and you can feel their bond grow throughout the show. I also loved their relationships with their fairies, Mepple & Mipple~ They grew gradually as well and the real stand-out was with Nagisa & Mepple who have some pretty emotional moments with each other in later episodes. I also loved Wisdom the Stone Keeper and thought the Garden Of Light was designed beautifully. Though the villains weren’t great, I absolutely loved Kiriya for reasons I won’t spoil 💖 The magical items (Mepple & Mipple’s phone case thingies) were gorgeous and I want one incredibly badly 🥺💕 Overall, I prefer the first half storyline to the second.

The Bad…;
Nagisa has a really cute relationship with Fujipi that sadly didn’t go as far as I would’ve liked. Crossing my fingers for Max Heart? 🤞 A big issue I had for this show was the girls powers. I don’t mind the repetitive nature of every episode or that the girls are powerless alone, but I felt that they were lacking in strength for many episodes. They have only one attack (Marble Screw) for the first half of the series and while they get another one later on, I just would’ve preferred their attacks to have more variety 😞 Porun was also a bit irritating despite being adorable, and quickly made me realize I was judging Mepple too harshly~ and lastly, the villains were really weak. Particularly in the second half of the show, I actually dreaded their appearance in every episode.

Futari Wa Pretty Cure A.K.A the curse of the first historical 70's Kamen Riders and Sentais strikes again. Why I am making this comparison, you ask? because this is not a majokko but an animated Kamen Rider and Sentai/Super Sentai show masquerading as a magical girl one, and you don't need anything past the typical super sentai/kamen rider "plotline" (or, better said, lack of plotline) and the choreography fights to see that this thing is a 100% product of those tokusatsus and not of Sailor Moon (on itself, already influenced by the Super Sentais) or Ojamajo Doremi barring some slight elements reminescent of those two ... (hell, even the two protagonists' costumes are very similar to a Kamen Rider one). The problem is, if you've ever had the misfortune to watch the first 70's Kamen Riders (Don't do it, start with Kamen Rider Black if you're interested in the IP) and the first two Sentai shows you know that those (particularly the formers) had a serious problem with a repetition that would make repetitious writers from the 60's era (my second favourite era in the genre, and that should tell you something) of american superhero comics like yours truly Robert Kanigher from DC comics look like Shakespeare by comparison, and that's exactly what happened here. It's interesting and well done until the first 30 episodes, then the typical 70's Kamen Rider repetition of episodes being a carbon-copy of the previous ones starts to drag the show down until the viewer simply gets bored and goes directly to the ending, like it happened with my watching of the show, the first thing I ever watched of this franchise. Repetition that is not excusable due to the typical repetition of the tokusatsu source material and it's all due to the fact that the people making this still had no idea on how to mesh well the majokko part with the Kamen Rider/Super Sentai part, more or less what happened with the first Kamen Riders, Himitsu Sentai Goranger and to, some extent, JAKQ Dengekitai that were awful because those making them had no idea on how to develop them properly. Now, I am a fan of both the Kamen Rider and Super Sentai IPs (I even find the Kamen Rider Girls music to my taste) and there are some of those shows - one of which I'm currently waiting a Bandai Build-A-Figure to be delivered to me soon - that I consider 100% masterpieces of superhero medias (hell, I prefer the Super Sentais to any american superhero team a là JLA or Avengers and the Kamen Rider itself to Batman) even with me starting to get on those tokusatsus with the possible worst introductions ever to them, so I surely can cut some slack to this franchise and search for a Kamen Rider Black/Spiderman Toku/Battle Fever J amongst the twenty-something years this franchise has been going on. Still, outside the first thirty episodes and the fact that the animation of this beats to crap out of "newer" stuff produced by Toei like the terrible and completely unneeded Hades Chapter continuation of Saint Seiya, I can't really recommend this show on the whole, like I guess I will completely miss the sequel Max Heart because I had enough of the unwatchable Kamen Rider V3 and the mediocre JAKQ Dengekitai (thank you Sailor Moon Cosmos...sorry, I meant Big One for that!) at the start of my toku journey and I don't want to repeat the experience again. At least it's not as atrocious as the 70's Cutie Honey Monster, but that's not saying much TBH.
