[up] From what I've seen of it, it's everything an English dub should be. I actually prefer Dub!Mepple to the original...

The only downside is that any dub of Max Heart would have to also anglicize the names, so Hikari becomes Hillary? I wouldnt mind as long as the show is still fully uncut and no longer bound by TV Standards and Practices.

And that's assuming they will do that for future Cures.

For seasons not tied to Max Heart it would be for the best to simply keep the names, but Max Heart suddenly having an influx of Japanese named character where there were none before would be weird.

To be honest, I dont care which one they pick. As long as future dubs keep all the stuff uncensored and dont change Cure names I dont see a downside to either choice.

it feels so bizarre to think “pretty cure and doremi are back for english-speaking audiences”, but… it’s true! what a time to be alive

Getting back to watching Splash Star and Ms Shitataare seems like she'll be fun. I really thought they were going to pull an Illkubo and have her ruin the Cures in their first match, but I guess that would've made Episode 24 too depressing amidst the grieving for Michiru and Kaoru...

Are you a Nana or Tanaka fan?

If so, the titles from eps 22-25 have been released and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Aside from this week's episode, July seems like it'll be an unassuming month for this season. I keep forgetting there are supposed to be 45-50 episodes in one of these, and that we're only inching toward the halfway mark.

Summer is basically the "lull" arc before the show gets more serious and often leads to the Kill Sat Super Mode.

22. First time someone pushes back against Meroron, and it's Kokoro arguing that Idol and Wink are better than Zukyoon. Ironic when it's the two of them that are carrying the show. Especially liked Kokoro introducing herself to the Pretty Holic agent. Show remembered that she wasn't there before. This episode in general was pretty good about making sure everyone got a moment to shine and be in character. Even Nana, who's still trying to be a meme Cure. Gotta learn Purirun rizz. Does nothing and gets to eat like a queen. Funniest moment was Tanaka's gas mask. Updated OP is super lame, but new ED is alright.

An anticlimactic end to Meroron's tenure as Arc Villain. Appreciated the subversion of expectations — you get Tanaka in a gas mask so you think her cooking will be absolutely horrific, only for it to be literal poetry for the taste buds — but damn. Was not expecting this to be such a nothingburger.

so, i haven’t watch any episodes of “you and idol” yet, but i saw crunchyroll rated it a PG and listed… profanity? huh? but i thought precure was a show for children?

alright, what did they do? did they put a “damn” in the subtitles? nyeeh, we gotta get that damn PG rating somehow!

[up] That pretty much is the only remotely "not for kids" content in the show. Y'all remember when PG meant something?

Now that I've taken a break from this show for the last 2 and a half weeks, I've caught up with Episode 22! Did my feelings about Meroron change? Of course not! The damage and drama within the team is still completely her fault, and she has yet to realize her wrongs for it. Yet, nobody is telling her otherwise so she's continuing to wrap the other Cures around her petty whims, which this episode is a perfect example of. Yes, I get that she's basically a traumatized refugee; but I would still put my foot down against that awfully entitled attitude.

At least Pretty Holic is getting amazing sales for Meroron initiating this competing accessory line between the Idol Cures and Zukuoon/Kiss duo (as expected). However, I find the cooking duel for Purirun's heart boring and completely unrelated to what it means to be an idol. Based on the Cliffhanger, we might finally get more action with Kaito next Saturday — something that should have and would have happened more than 2 months ago without a certain someone else.

I'm not holding my breath to have a functional story again with someone who actually belongs in this plot, but suffice to say I'm happy that the chance isn't 0%.

Addendum: I do like the new ending theme.

Heal the Cutie, then point the Laser-Guided Karma and Disaster Dominoes towards the Asshole Victim that had wronged her. I love this plot line!

[up] I am discussing the substance of You and Idol Episode 22 by saying that there barely is anything worthwhile in it. I've also admitted that the writers have given me some excitement for the next episode/arc.

Beyond that, I have nothing to say.

Heal the Cutie, then point the Laser-Guided Karma and Disaster Dominoes towards the Asshole Victim that had wronged her. I love this plot line!

[up] Which would be more believable if the drama had anything to do with being/becoming an idol; but that is not the issue that has torn the team apart.
