#Precure Birthdays

[precuredaily]

Once again the calendar has reached the lovely day of April 4 (three weeks ago)! That means it is (was) the birthday of my favorite Precure, Yukishiro Honoka! 20 years after her series she would be about 34 years old today, if she were real.

It's no great secret that the formula for the original series was taking two girls from opposite walks of life and teaming them up, to represent the strength of friendship. Honoka's charm was her intelligence and pursuit of science, while remaining kind and fairly humble despite her wealthy background. Without Nagisa's influence she probably wouldn't be taking many risks, and without Honoka's influence, Nagisa would probably be dead. Well, neither of them would be Precure so probably not, but both would definitely be worse off.

I haven't actually watched Otona Precure yet, but it is my understanding that Black and White appear at the very end of the last episode, looking the same as ever. I'm not clear if they have any dialog. The Kamikta Twins (the most consistently quality part of this fandom) released a piece of artwork that included aged up designs for Nagisa and Honoka. I have to assume they're official and Toei-sanctioned.

Last year, I said I hoped for an Otona-style sequel to FWPC. The middling to negative reception of the series has me second guessing that. But the art is nice.

As always, enjoy the gallery and congratulations to Honoka, and of course thanks to everyone involved in creating and bringing her to life: Character designer Iganami Akira, series director Nishio Daisuke, series composition/head writer Kawasaki Ryo, voice actress Yukana, and more.

TL: p1 N: Happy birthday Honoka! H: Thank you Nagisa! N: Isn't it nice, you're older than me. It's not fair… H: Come on, that's not really something to be jealous of, is it? H: But when I think about it

p2 H: If I'd been born 3 days earlier, I'd be a grade higher than you. N: That's true… it's really close… N: *stare* N: Thank goodness we're in the same grade! Thank you! *squeeze* H: Eh, um, y…. y-y-y-y-you're welcome…?

Happy Birthday to the three of us

Today (for a few more minutes at the time of writing) is July 30, which means it is once again my very own birthday, as well as the birthdays of two characters from 2017's Kirakira Precure a la Mode: the twin fairies, Kirarin and Pikario, or Kirahoshi Ciel and Kuroki Rio, or Cure Parfait and Julio. The sibling pair had their struggles, but overcame them, and Julio even got something of a hero transformation of his own, however briefly. So happy birthday to them, and to me, and to anyone reading this who happens to have a July 30 birthday. While I don't talk about myself much on this blog for obvious reasons, I allow some exceptions on this occasion, so I'll tell you I had a good time riding roller coasters. Here's some art and a selfie to celebrate:

(art sources are linked to the respective photo)

The last 5 reviews of 5 GoGo are on the way, I had an absurd idea for episode 44 that's taking me a while to compose, after that I should be able to get through the rest in short order. This project will be completed by the end of the year. (Preferably sooner)

Until next time!
