Pretty Cure general thread

No one pillorying you? Chariot is simply pointing that out and it's better to confirm rumor before spreading false information. Especially since the news about Glitter Force had already existed since, what, DokiDoki?

If so, then all Kantai Collection should be changed to KanColle; it's contrary to the point of our aim to accurately titling works as Japanese is always about puns and abbreviation. Both spelling of Pretty Cure and Precure are already noted in the description, the first Kamen Rider is always Kamen Rider and not Masked Rider, and it's not stopping the related search from whatever the spelling or name that you're searching for. Just because the title no longer putting full "Pretty Cure", it doesn't mean it's gone.

It must be said that I'm also sick of all the elitism surround it; the idea that the possible dub just existing has caused the original show to be Ruined Forever.

This raises a good question: "If they clearly are not going to watch the dub, what makes their opinions on it so credible?" I've called out many similar elitists regarding several other anime topics — including Subbing Versus Dubbing, and they all succumbed to this very hypocrisy.

As for my opinion on this matter, it's like this Broken Base hasn't torn itself apart enough already....

Most of the dub, and it's confirmed in this case, is generally cutting parts that shouldn't be cut. I honestly will be raging if they cut Yayoi' dad episode, or the quiz episode (manzai episode can go to hell, though). I've watched some of Futari wa dub and I think it's pretty good, especially when they actually add the characters with that Pisard scene returning their transformation item. But Indonesian dub really give impression to me. Ten years, I still remember every part o episode 8 and the scene with Seeds of Darkness having mundane conversation about brushing teeth.

there's nothing elitist about saying this dub is going to suck before we even get to watch it.Had they said it would get an unedited release on DVD with a dub,now THAT would be elitist to say that kind of dub it would suck.

However,the dub is being produced specificaly to be broadcasted on TV, not for DVD or streaming,AND by a company who is no better than 4Kids (in fact, they have more experience and have been around way longer before 4Kids took off thanks to Pokemon,), but people often forget that because either Digimon left them blinded by nostalgia (Digimon dub was NEVER good. ) or because 4Kids obfuscated everyone else by how incompetent they can be with One Piece being a prime example.

I don't know, that sounds pretty elitist to me.

It's not elitist; it's practically a running gag. Just like the console war. Or maybe like the headcanon debate. And the basic 'it changed, so it sucks' opinion. Everyone can have 'em.

Yeah it is. Especially when you act like dubs are inherently bad and act like you're better than others because they think a dub is good/like a dub (Digimon, in this case) that you don't.

Can we please end this argument before it becomes an Internet Backdraft? I kinda want to keep this thread from being locked down.

Good idea.

Hum, just pointing out the worst case scenario, as I don't mind dub. But very well, if the discussion doesn't go anywhere.

Let's talk about another topic; GoPri movie. How do they look so far?

I seem to recall saying to drop that part of the discussion before it got out of hand.

x3

No clue. The movie consist of three different parts so it's hard to tell since it doesn't air until Halloween.

But at least there's something about the plot, right? Girl in tower , or dark magical girl? That sort of things, at least. The main girl from the 3D movie is cute, by the way. Her name?

Its not to be a goody two shoes, but I love that we have a Precure loving mod. I never thought that could happen.

Also, Pre Cure is short for Pretty Cure anyways, Im in favor of changing the series that identify as Precure to that but that's it.

The latest episode is nice. Twinkle and Flora's character growth shows through, and their friendship is nice to see.

Next episode preview: Well, I suppose that's the only real explanation for his absence.

Still will they do any of the newer stuff for this Glitter Force series or this will be a one time thing...

I thought Deadbeatloser22 and I declared that to be a forbidden topic.

Oh sorry then I was just curious, but how is the latest Precure series? I have to get down to watching some of the episodes...

It's actually consistently damn good for once! Poor Minamin is still getting the shaft when it comes to character development for the most part, but everything else is very much enjoyable. The Animation Bumps just keep on trucking, and the main plot isn't exactly messing around much at all.

By the way, how far are you into the show?

Series after Fresh straight up call themselves Precure and our pages really should reflect that. IE this

We are going to keep the Glitter Force stuff on its own page right? If Saban keeps with their usual trend its going to be unrecognizable.

It is a legit question about the pages themselves.

We don't separate other anime from their dubs. Why would we do the same for Glitter Force/Smile!?

We do, see Macross and Robotech.

That's weird. In other news Glitter Force has a Netflix page so it's not airing on TV. Guess that means we won't get any merchandise?
