Miracle Bear Coord

Happy Birthday Miruki! Second late post, but that’s to be expected since the last late was in fact yesterday ☠ 

I love all the bears and ribbons on this coord, and the ball things on her gloves look like candy.. 🧸🎀

Weirdly specific coord descriptions by me - Primagi version

Academy

Dark Academia girl on her way to study trees and moss

Aurora Western

Imagine it’s the future and there’s a VR video game set in what’s supposed to be America sometime between the 1980s-2020s, but it’s very very poorly researched. This coord is what the main character wears.

Checker Set Up

It just somehow reminds me of a bathroom floor. Specifically a public bathroom floor.

Cool Mode

*in a posh accent that sounds somehow deep yet nasal at the same time* No, no. Your arrangement is all wrong. Our hotel is very popular so I’m afraid there are no reservations left. You can go to the other one down the street *gestures to a decidedly less fancy looking hotel*

Elegant Yukata Vivid Pink

There is nothing elegant about this. Anyway, this gives me the vibes of an alt idol group (that isn’t as alt as it likes to imagine it is) in 2008. This reminds me of a specific store we passed on a specific drive during my childhood. It was a flashy, seemingly Harajuku-inspired store that had bright lights and pink stuff everywhere, animated screens showing cartoon flowers of some sort, and the radio was on really loud and it was upsetting me but my sister refused to put up the window and we were stuck there during a really long red light. Why does this outfit remind me of that.

Gorgeous Necklace Jacket

I feel like this would appear in the background of a 70s cartoon, being worn by a posh lady walking her dog. And wearing red sunglasses.

Gothic Cape

It’s a windy winter day, and the royal military commander wakes up in her stone castle. She walks to the stable, fetches her horse, and... cannot get on the horse because her skirt is in the way.

Miracle Bear Brightness

She went to Aikatsu Planet but couldn’t find a Dressia to complete her outfit

Two-Tone Jacket Black

When a little girl decides to suddenly become really obsessed with trucks and construction for the next 3 months.

Volume Jacket

You know when brightly-coloured, inflatable furniture became a trend?

[tsunflowers]

wtf!!!!! that white miracle bear version looks like a planet coord that hasn't been dressia'ified yet!

it literally does lmao. miruki deserves better

Geez, if miruki has her cherry sugar coord , what's more ultra rare one, she should have use them at beginning there. Since when she got it?💧

cherry sugar is actually her brand! i believe the reason she didnt use it in the beginning was because miruki wasn't added into the arcade game yet. she, along with her brand, were added in early april. so, now that people playing the arcade game can actually get the miracle bear coord, she is allowed to wear it, even though she's been wearing it since the beginning in promotional art.

i imagine eventually there will be an elements coord (like the fire one that hina got, and the aqua one that everyone got but is technically Amane's) whose brand is cherry sugar, and that will be miruki's second rare coord.

if you want to know more about what's going on in the arcade game, i suggest going to the website. click around and you'll start to see the flow of how the arcade game interacts with the anime.

Healin' Good Precure Episodes 19-20

Anju looks good in purple.

I'm gonna be honest with you all here, I don't know how to start this one. I've watched these two episodes back to back TWICE and I have so many mixed feelings, I have no idea how to put my thoughts in a cohesive order for this post to make at least a little bit of sense. So bear with me because I have a lot of conflicting emotions.

So beginning from the basic stuff, Episode 19 was strong, with great emotional moments, and I loved it for almost all of its run-time. Episode 20 was a bit of a letdown, the emotional parts didn't work as well, and what were supposed to be great moments felt like they needed a little more gas to me, and how things were solved in this episode made me like the previous one a little less than I did on my first watching.

You see, my major problem with how both of these episodes went down is that the pay off for the build-up wasn't exactly that satisfying.

When the matter is Mid-season Cures, my preference will always go to when the character that will become said Cure has already been introduced before because these are characters we already know and already had some development so when the "Curefication" happens that moment feels like a turning point or an essential moment for those previously established characters arcs. When they become Cures, it's rewarding, it's exciting, and when they need to integrate that character with the original group it feels more natural because they already knew each other, at least to a certain level.

Cure Earth's case falls under the situation I like the least, where a character comes out of nowhere, transforms, and saves the day. And I don't know how to feel about those situations because I don't know that character, I don't know how I should feel about them. When they just appear it's not a rewarding build-up, it's frustrating. It feels like a Cure Ex-Machina and it can ruin what in other circumstances could've been a great moment. And the way things happened in these two episodes felt just like that.

Episode 19 was everything centered around Rate, it was an episode where we finally got to know more of her and see her thoughts for once in a situation where the girls had to run to fight a monster right after. She was sick, she was feeling weak and powerless, and the entire episode was walking in a path where Rate would be the main star. Whatever happened there, it should be Rate in the spotlight, it was Rate's moment. But in the end, she didn't do anything and she was just the poor, defenseless little puppy that she has been all this time along. And in Episode 20 she was robbed even more of her spotlight, she didn't even get a chance to help in the battle like the other healing animals and it felt like such a missed opportunity. The sensation I had was that originally Rate was supposed to give a group power-up at this moment and this would be like a level up for her, but because they're so bound in this "Sixth Ranger" tradition they changed the focus to a character that literally didn't exist before she was needed to exist.

And I feel like I would be more okay with this if Rate at least had an active participation in creating Asumi and making her Cure Earth, you know? Rather than making Teatinu being the one who awakened the spirit, it could've been Rate that did it, it would show how powerful she is and how much she has grown and it would go hand-in-hand with her conflicts we've seen earlier in the episode. It would also serve as the reason why Asumi feels so connected with Rate and her strong feelings about protecting her, without mentioning it would explain why Rate was able to bond with her and turn her into her Cure partner immediately instead of the three characters that for 20 episodes have been giving their all to take care of her.

With that being said, I also had many things that I liked in these two episodes. Seeing the girls caring for Rate in Episode 19 was very endearing, Nodoka waking up in the middle of the night to give her comfort, Chiyuu skipping club activities to be with her because she's concerned, Hinata taking advice from costumers of her family's clinic to give help on her own way, even Nodoka's father that was there just to be comic relief, all of these moments were pretty sweet.

And the magical-girl-centered part of the episode was pretty good as well. For example, I like that because Rate is sick with a real illness she can't feel the Earth calling for help so the girls go unaware of the Mega-Byougen wreaking havoc in the mountains which gave Batetemoda a huge head start so the monster was stronger than usual which lead to the cures being trapped in that situation, that eventually lead to Rate taking up action where it gave Batetemoda a chance to capture her which triggered Cure Earths birth at that moment. Aside from the problem of a character coming out of nowhere, it was a natural progression of events that had me on the edge of my seat for the entire second half of the episode.

And Earth's entrance was pretty cool as well, the way she fought the Mega-Byougen doing all of those jumps and kicks was amazing, and seeing her creating an Elemental Bottle made me go crazy. Her second fight on Episode 20 was even better, going toe-to-toe with Batetemoda and sweeping the floor with him and the powered-up Mega-Byougen, that was awesome. My mind went places when she reveals she's not a human, and that she's technically a newborn. That paired with how clueless she is about everything and how she acts a little silly at times made it for an awesome time following her around. I joked about it on twitter, but Asumi sounds exactly like Anju from PriChan, and not just because Mimori Suzuko is doing the exact same voice she does for Anju but because this "cluelessness" reminds me a lot of how Anju acts sometimes whenever she's hiding her true identity. I'm just waiting for the time where someone will do an AMV of Cure Earth with Fortune Karat playing in the background and an edit of Anju's coord change with Earth transformation song playing as the background.

Oh, and by the way, can we talk about how freaking gorgeous she is? Both in civilian and Cure form. Earth is one of the prettiest Cures ever and if you don't think so I recommend you to leave because I don't think we can be friends (jk, I condemn favorites shaming XD). I love her transformation, I love her attack, I love her weapon. I'm all here for these aesthetics and I have no doubt that in a couple of weeks I'll be here with an "I ♡ EARTH" headband and two purple lightsticks going "GO EARTH! GO EARTH!" because of that. Like, I can get tired of it??? From Rate's running to Asumi, to her grabbing Rate's little paws, to them snuggling each other TWICE, how her hair changes, and how she gets her earrings and the winged headpiece everything in that transformation is perfect. And gosh, the attack, after 20 episodes with attack animations that weren't all that exciting or inventive how fresh it feels to have a Healing Hurricane to blow us all away.

I think from these episodes the only thing I can't forgive it's the villains' side of things, again. Like, they just lost their more interesting member, and now I just don't feel as engaged with the villains once more. Also, that power-up thing coming from a Mega-Byougen fragment was also a bit meh. More because we haven't really seen that being mentioned before, you know? And it's not like they didn't have the chance to explain it either, I believe Batetemoda was born from something with similar properties so they could've introduced this element before. I don't know, I'm just sad my good boy is gone and now we're stuck again with those boring three and the main villain that probably had less screen time than a side character so far.

Another sadness was the new ending. I'm sorry y'all but I don't like this song, I don't like this dance, I don't like the visuals for this ending, and I'm just very sad. I'm gonna miss Miracle tto Link♡Ring SO SO MUCH... and this Ending doesn't even have hints for what the next season will be, I'm sad.

Oh well, like I said CONFLICTING FEELINGS, I'm a mess but I hope I could pass my point to everyone. If you have anything to share about these episodes or my thoughts please let me know in the comments down below. I believe that's all for now, don't forget to stay healthy, stay safe, and never stop resisting. Thank you so much for reading, and until the next time, Healin' Goodbye~

aikatsu on parade episode 8 spoilers (just some good Raki content)

they’re all there in the opening thing!! at last!!

and they’re all still living at Ichigo’s house... I wonder how much time has passed. Mio said “when they showed us their dresses before” but that doesn’t mean anything.

it took a week for me to realize it fully but it’s super weird how they’re calling Ichigo’s mom Ringo-san... kids calling an adult by their first name is just really, really weird in Japan, especially your friend’s parents. is it to distinguish her from Ichigo, who’s also a Hoshimiya?? but they called her Ichigo from the start... is it to make a future Masquerade performance more of a surprise to them? but in oldkatsu they all knew her mom’s last name was Hoshimiya and they still didn’t connect her with Miya.... why?? why?!?

oh dang I love this bgm right after the title screen

I guess this Soleil live is to show them perform as a unit bc there wasn’t time for it in the last ep?

“What dress is Ichigo gonna wear next?!” idk maybe the one right there on the screen

MY 4TH FAV CUTE-TYPE PR!! MY 2ND-FAV ICHIGO SONG!!! I knew it was coming and I’m still delighted!! thank you!!! 🐠

but it’s kind of silly how this is the dress Raki’s inspired by, instead of the new much-hyped LPR coord? they build up the LPRs so much both in the ep and the game, but in plot the Pisces PR is way more important to MC Raki? haha...

I forgot abt the swarm of Angely Bears in this stage lmao... . it’s still great...

me too Raki!! KYAHA!!

hmm, interesting. Raki’s line「いちごちゃんの星座ドレス…私も作ってみたい！」 here could have a number of different meanings thanks to its vagueness:

“Ichigo’s Constellation Dress... 

I want to make [a Constellation Dress for Ichigo to wear] too!”

I want to make [my own original Constellation Dress] too!”

I want to make [my own version of Ichigo’s Constellation Dress] too!”

and bc we all know what Raki’s Constellation Dress looks like, it’s hard to say if it’s the second or third, and the dialogue after doesn’t clarify. whoops, this was interesting to only me, sorry!!

?? Raki says “I’m a Pisces just like Ichigo” but Raki’s bday is 12/07 (sagittarius). what?

don’t be such a buzzkill Mio geez.... Raki is the designer of her own brand and she can recognize herself as the top Maple Ribbon idol if she wants to. totally 100% valid point about it looking too much like Ichigo’s dress, though Raki’s sketch here looks almost identical to the final PR so I’m curious to see how that gets resolved. is Amahane-san going to put her stamp of approval on it and that’s that?

was Ringo listening from behind the door or what. for that matter was Mio also listening from behind the door. if they were crouched behind the door listening together why didn’t they come in at the same time

Ringo already contacted Amahane-san so Raki could meet her.... so that’s what she was doing behind the door

I’m glad Raki’s going to meet her alone. like I’m glad PP is there to guide her along most of the time, but it’s partially bc Aine’s got way more of an Angely Sugar aesthetic and I’d want to see that interaction instead if Aine was there, and partially bc I want to see Raki be more of an MC in her own right instead of being there to play off her senpais.

so it’s established aikatsu canon that the Angely Sugar cliff is the highest, most challenging cliff of all. good to know.

is Raki the first aikatsu character to actually fall all the way down the cliff? I love her. and her extreme durability

“Cliff-climbing isn’t dangerous at all.” is this really what we should be telling 5-year-olds, Ichigo?!?

also holy crap Ichigo and Coco-chan meeting face to face (sort of)!!!!! whoa!!!

cliff-climbing isn’t dangerous, it’s... aikatsu. ok. sure

miracle lucky!! Raki’s achieved a new level of luckiness!! Amahane-san offering to help improve Raki’s design with her is along the lines of what I was hoping this ep would be like. I am content

oh, she didn’t get a little constellation dress-themed animation in the beginning like they did in oldkatsu. I guess all that stuff got cut along with the fitting road in aiparade. too bad...

aww, her ribbon aura is cute. very cardcaptor sakura. ofc this whole performance is cute.

the card in the anime says ‘PR’ on it right there, but they’re all talking about how Raki’s dream is to one day make her very own PR. so the key phrase is that she wants to make “her very own” PR, as in one that’s not influenced by any other idols, as they all acknowledge the Pastel Fin Pisces coord is. I’m totally ok with this setup, Maple Ribbon is a cute brand and I’m happy for it to have a ton of PRs esp if they continue to be as individually unique as they’ve proved so far. I just wish they’d made this excruciatingly clear from the beginning bc I’m going to have to see “but Raki already has a PR what’s with that” until the day aiparade ends. and probably after too

Amahane-san gives Raki the classic Good Artist Advice, which is to study by copying others. so... there.

oh! the door appeared in front of all of them. I guess it’s the first time anyone other than PP+Raki has seen it?

they’re going back to Yotsuboshi? or not?? they’re already on (Neo) Venus Ark?! whoa, so soon. I was just thinking about how much I wanted to see Kirara again last night though!! what an unexpected gift..... 💕 I wonder if we’ll see Elza’s LPR soon.

SIS...!! they found her... she’s talking like a supervillain about the convergence of aikatsu worlds, so idk if this is supposed to be a good thing or if the end of aiparade is going to be about struggling to reseal the portals to restore balance to the aikatsu multiverse.

not complaining about this ed in the least bc I love it a lot but since we haven’t seen Seira or Kii yet it’s a strange choice? oh, I guess bc it’s the Constellation Dress-era ed.

next week: captured by pirates! the pirates are Venus Ark! WM is there for some reason! Ichigo in the VA uniform!!

normally I’d say this is the ep that sets the stage before we see Take Me Higher, but with aiparade who knows? everything moves so fast and then we’re on to the next world.

Kiratto PriChan 26

Sara and Anna literally have to keep Mel in the trunk of their car to keep her under control apparently (and it doesn’t work very well). 

Yeah, what I pointed out last week probably wasn’t a plot hole. They just ditched her. Poor Mel. Give her a break she clearly has autism or something of the like.

But in all seriousness I kinda get it a little? Three must feel like a crowd after it’s been just Sara and Anna for so long. The dynamic with Meltic Star currently is really quite odd, and I’m hoping it evens out eventually. 

Well, last week I predicted that they wouldn’t start the tournament right away since it (still) hasn’t been announced for the arcade game yet. 

So anyway the tournament started this week. 

And apparently the Mel plot thickens, as now NASA ... Uh wait *rewinds the episode* Some random research facility? Wants to get Mel back and is planning to sabotage Meltic Star’s performance in the tournament to do so. 

Haha ha... and you know... the thing is... the reason they are doing it is actually quite reasonable. They were actually like FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY. And yet they are being framed as the bad guys and we know Mel’s desire be an idol/friendship with Anna and Sara will win out. AHAHA. Oh PriChan. Being an idol is clearly for the greater good of humanity than science.

PriChan universe Aromageddon!!! I hope these two really do come back for revenge. Out of all the secondary rival groups they are the only ones I thought worthy of sticking around and becoming recurring characters. 

Sara gets caught in one of their traps because she tried to pick up a cute teddy bear. Ahah. Sara talks about liking cuteness (mostly cute girls lol) on the PriChan Cast all the time, but it hasn’t been much of a part of the anime? I had been wondering when/if they were going to start developing that part of her character.

When all three of Miracle Kiratts found those cards saying they had to perform I was like oh no you don’t... you’re not going to pad this episode with THREE performances........ aaaand they did. Well. I don’t remember if they have all done solos in their KRs before? I like how they thought to use their KRs to get as much iine as possible. (Usually the anime characters are too dumb to figure this one out.)

Mirai’s KR skirt is.... mesmerizing.... the physics are so much better than in the arcade game.... fuwa fuwaa......

In the preview the girls officially switched from their Series 3 N coords to their Series 4 N coods haha, I’m thinking the OP and ED will change next week as well. 

[gnawingaikatsugremlin]

Also now I am highly tempted to write an episode of Parade for Sunburst. Their fuck the rules, fuck the system, we’ll do it our way methods would be very... enlightening... to Raki.

I already have some stages planned:

1) Lena doing Bear Your Fangs, Fire TIger Coord and Queen of Flames aura

2) Ray and Vaughan on Pride Call Back/Out, Diamond Friends outfits, no auras

3) Sunburst all performing What’s Next? Full x9 Sunspot (replacement/corruption of the Miracle Aura) 

That sunspot is what I really want, because the sunspot is... unsettling. It’s a corruption of the Aikatsu Miracle Aura code thanks to hacked coords. But it shows the user’s true nature and only appears when they’re fully committed to their path. 

I think Raki needs to see that the most. To do anything worth doing, you need to be committed. You have to accept what people will think of you and what they’ll say. Some avenues will close when you make the unpopular choice, but you have to ask yourself if it’s worth it? 

(Do I want a Raki sunspot? Maaaaybe.)
