#precure 2017

"With motivation and empathy!

Let's・La・Mix It All Up!

Cure Jello! Is Ready To Serve!"

Budõ Kanten, is one of the main Cures as well as the first boy to become a Pretty Cure in the A La Mode team.  He is a first-year student at Ichigozaka Middle School. A very kindhearted boy who always helps those in need. Sometimes a little too chatty but always most trusted ally and friend. He’s able to see the potential in his friends and is all about helping them discover their unique abilities and grow.

Budõ’s alter ego is Cure Jello, the Pretty Cure of motivation and empathy, and he is based on jellos and frogs. His catchphrases are “A leap of faith is all you need! Croak!” and “There is no frog that can't become a prince! Croak!”

🐸🍇💚 

________________________

Budõ – grape (jap.)

Kanten – agar (jap.) - an ingredient from which the jelly is produced.

This squishy buddy was the first ever Precure OC I've designed back in 2017 :) Croak!

According the official PreCure anniversary Twitter account, a novel based on the "Doki Doki! Pretty Cure" anime, taking place after the events of it, will be released sometime this year.

It will be part of the Character Bunko label published under Kodansha. Six other PreCure novels were published under this label, including novels focused on: "Futari wa Pretty Cure," "Heartcatch Pretty Cure!," "Fresh Pretty Cure!," "Smile Pretty Cure," "Suite Pretty Cure," and "Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart." The last of these was released back in 2017.

The DokiPre novel will be written by the anime's head writer, Ryota Yamaguchi, and the cover will be illustrated by the anime's character designer, Akira Takahashi.

Further information will be released on the anniversary Twitter account when the time comes.

[magicalgirlpictureencyclopedia]

This has nothing do with the main page's agenda, but I need to make a distinction here for my own sanity. Yes, I will be using examples from mainly magical girl series.

No, it does not matter - but these two character types aren't the same, although on internet pages I see them grouped together.

Bifauxnen is a trope found in Japanese media where a girl, usually androgynous in appearance, is seen as elegant, charming, and is fawned over by many women in said universe (and even IRL by fans.) This trope's origins are rooted in series such as Rose of Versailles, where its titular character, Oscar François de Jarjeyes, is raised as a man, but is known to be female among many. Oscar herself took influences from the Takarazuka Revue performers, which I linked since the topic itself is fairly extensive. Please know the performers are all women as well, so do with that information what you will.

See? There's a clear difference.

They are usually lumped in with tomboys, which... isn't the same thing.

A tomboy, meanwhile, can look either feminine or masculine, but rarely is she androgynous to where telling their gender comes with difficulty. In many series, a tomboy still wears feminine clothing as well (ie schoolgirl uniforms, skirts, etc), which unless certain circumstances is moreso rare with the bifauxnen character archetype. I understand some of the confusion, as some similaritied can overlap. For example, tomboys and bifauxnen usually do not align straight with femininity, so using pronouns such as boku (僕) may be one. Both girls can also have short/long hair, be taller than average, and confuse the audience as to what exactly is going on thematically. However, it ignores that...

1.) The audience usually does not know at first that the character is, in fact, female. Several boxes may not tick for the viewers, such as higher voices, not wearing the girls' school uniform (in fact, some may wear a customized uniform or none at all. Even so, some do.)

2.) The bifauxnen in comparison appears to be older than their actual age.

3.) Bifauxnen characters take heavy inspiration from the Takarazuka Revue, whereas tomboys do not. Tomboys in anime can vary from just having short hair and not liking makeup, or a woman with more muscle mass, but it's no secret she's a woman.

So, I'm going to list some examples between the two below, as my post online via Twitter (the collage) shows up, but is blanked out. Sorry. 😅

Haruka Tenoh/Sailor Uranus - Sailor Moon S (1994)

Itsuki Myoudouin/Cure Sunshine - Heartcatch Precure! (2009)

Akira Tenjou/Cure Chocolat - Kira Kira Precure a la Mode (2017)

To help a bit more about how to tell the difference, and which characters are either tomboys or bifauxnen, here you go. I made small collages.

The girls above are tomboys, who are all from magical girl anime ranging from 1983-2012.

The girls here are bifauxnen, where at most I could use Utena, but most bifauxnen aren't in magical girl anime a lot as is. They pop up here and there, but not too often for me to make a collage. Maybe I'm forgetting some? I'm not entirely too sure.

[meryizza]

I made this in 2017 XD So this is my first "same voice" Precure crossover ever.

Anime of 2023, a List By Miyo

Here we go again, it's 2023 and the year has gone by with another year of anime and all those kinda fun things. It felt like another year where we were encumbered with isekai stuff I mostly avoided and anime overworking its staff as always. I guess atleast there weren't any hacks that delayed Precure this time? I dunno, let's all say hello to my anime list of 2023 of shows I enjoyed or wanted to talk about some.

***

As always, I use whatever version of the title I am most comfy writing. Also these aren't in any order other than sort of by release? I wrote down shows when I finished them so earlier in the year shows end up first. This is my science.

TomoChan is a Girl

This show is a fun little romcom that's about a violent girl and her childhood friend who she wants to go out with. The only problem is she's ridiculously tomboyish and violent and they've been friends so long, he legit just sees her as his bestie dude karate friend. This is the driving force for the show and expect Tomo to constantly knock Jun upside the head in response to his failing to see her romantic advances.

The show has an enjoyable cast of secondary characters besides the main ones with dour Misuzu always around to cut people down and active embodiment of chaos Carol who…well, girl is just a walking ditz meme. There's fun hidden depth there even with a show that sometimes has a problem with being a lil too horny. I liked it though, they were fun chars and thinking back on them as I write this up makes me remember them fondly.

Akiba Maid War

Akiba Maid War is one of those shows that is a spectacle over substance when you think about it. However, that spectacle is bonkers and was ridiculously fun to watch. A period piece about the fictional gang style wars of maid cafes in Akihabara, the show is a tale that's as comedic as it is violent. Newcomer Nagomi must learn the ways of maids and the high stakes battles between the maid hierarchy.

Like I said, it's a VERY silly show and ridiculously violent. Calling it a black comedy is pretty on the nose but it absolutely fits. I really don't want to say too much about it, but if you want to see maids murder each other in John Wick-esque violence then I say check it out. It even has some nice drama too amongst it all. Go do it, watch the pig maids!

Nijiyon Animation

Love Live Nijiyon I don't have too much to say on to be honest. It was more time with characters I liked and they had goofy little jokes. Wild this is getting a second season next year but hey why not?

~*~Time for the Precure Cornerrrr~*~

Hirogaru Sky Precure

This is a year of firsts for Precure. The fact the first Precures were the blue and white ones, the introduction of an adult and boy Precures who aren't just side characters in one episode..lots of wild stuff. Hero girl Sora and her bestie Mashiro are such a good pair. Tsubasa is a fun nerd and Ageha rules in the tradition of "older Precure, will kick your ass." The villains have been mostly fun, if a little underwritten. Still, I liked Wario but a pig man and shithead dweeb.

The Precure this year has been pretty solid to be honest, and the official subs have gotten a LOT better in quality so things sound way less like it's being done by some poor intern down in Toei's dungeons. Good designs, good style, pretty much a good season to start with if you're curious. Also for a while we got to see older Precures at the end for the 20th anniversary so yay~

Yes Precure 5 Go Go

So we finished the second half of the Yes 5 series and it was…fine? I still don't really like Milk and even moreso Milky Rose. She's not my least fave cure but she's up there. Coco and Nuts are still bleh and new friend Syrup was ehhhh. Really the main thing I learned to love this year was Bunbee. It's an early season though so I suppose it was still growing pains. This one (like Max Heart) probably could've just been combined into the first series as one year long show and not TWO separate ones.

Dokidoki Precure

DokiDoki Precure is an interesting one because there is a lot there to like. It's got a fun cast, some dopey villains and a good energy to it all. There's also the ugliest Precure baby I can think of so there's that. I didn't initially like Cure Ace but she grew on me over time which is funny cuz meanwhile I was all in on Regina who is just a shithead goblin (complimentary).

Like I said, it's a nice little series and I enjoyed the character a lot. Mana is a good girl who loves all of her friends and anyone she can make friends with. I think my favorite is Alice though just because she's basically Batman in Precure form, even down to the hyper competent butler. I think going into this show I was thinking it was going to be one of the lesser ones, but I liked it more than I thought I would so that's a win in the end.

Power of Hope ~ Precure Full Bloom

I'm putting this on here to complete the Precure chat and I think ultimately I was disappointed by it more than happy. Maybe I was expecting something I was never going to get, who knows. The idea of grown up Precure characters having to do their adult ass lives is an interesting one and I really did like all the designs they came up with for the older characters. But the fact they all just transformed into their older, middle schooler designs, and even used the same old footage, was just kind of a bummer for me. Honestly, it felt like a movie that was stretched out over 3 months of TV and probably could've just been that. Maybe they'll do something different when they do the Mahou Tsukai grown ups next. Also Bunbee was here too so yay.

*~*Thus Concludes Precure Corner*~*

Urusei Yatsura

With friends in tow, finally actually watched some Urusei Yatsura, or rather the 2022 remake series. It's got a lot of what I feel would become the staple Rumiko Takahashi comedy violence in it and I can see why it helped her later works. This is one of those shows where I don't know much to say about because I feel people know what it's about but…oni lady from space comes to Earth, says she's a pervy dweeb's wife and shenanigans ensue from there. A goofy cast of characters that was just an overall silly time. More to come next year!

Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury (S2)

Not too much to add to this one since I talked about how I liked it last year, but I like where it took the story. Showing Miorine having to deal with being in charge of her dad's company while he was out injured and showing how people dealt with past traumas that affected their present lives. I mean, it's probably basic Gundam stuff, but I enjoyed it. There were a lot of good dramatic moments and one particular episode that really hit hard on the heart strings.

The ending was great and, honestly, the only problem is we only got 2 cours worth and not a whole year long show. That being said, I hope we do get to see Suletta again and not just in Super Robot Wars games. Also, don't let anyone try to tell you they aren't married at the end. That's just denying the truth.

Inu-Oh

What a cool fucking movie. Cool fucking visuals, cool fucking soundtrack. Just everything about it was a good watch. Made me feel happy, sad..just yea. A tale of friendship between a blind biwa player and a cursed-deformed dancer, it's a really lovely story with like I said..it's just really good and you should check it out. Sorry I don't have better words for this. I think I just want you to discover it for yourselves!

Skip and Loafer

Skip and Loafer is a cute little slice of life with some romance elements in it with a cute cast of characters from all walks of life. Awkward over-acheiver Mitsumi tries to make her way in the big city high school where she becomes friends with others ranging from the overly chill, but complex, Sosuke to the seemingly aloof Yuzuki. It's a nice little story that treads some of the typical high school anime things but has a lot of hidden depth behind the characters.

Like I often seem to say, it's one of those ones I wish wasn't only 12 episodes and deserves more. It even has a nice bit of LGBTQ+ representation in it with Mitsumi's Aunt Nao. Seriously, fun little show, I want more.

Oshi no Ko

Oshi no Ko was initially one I wasn't going to check out because the synopsis for it made me very confused and I thought it was JUST too weird. Let there be no mistake, it's a fucking weird premise and sometimes it gets awkward because of that. That being said, I ended up very invested in the story because I really want to know the answer to the overarching mystery of the show. Who dun it huh? Who dun it?!

This show has a lot to say about the entertainment industry, specifically the shittiness of it and I think that's ultimately a good thing. Word of warning, episode 6 and 7 are REALLY heavy and the official subs even have a warning before and after the episodes because of it. Next year there's another season incoming so I will look forward to more Memcho in our future. Also, probably one of the more hype openings this year. Yoasobi is one of my new favorite artists and I enjoy when they do stuff (they also did a G Witch opening so!)

Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror

A Love Live April Fools joke that became its own actual show. What a time to be alive. This is an interesting little piece though and had some nice things going for it. As always the music and visuals were good and I like the set up of it all. Plus, I'm always happy to see the Sunshine cast in things since they're the ones I've spent the most time with.

That being said, the show's plot leaves a lot to be desired since some episodes it feels like they forgot they were supposed to have one to be honest. Still though, if you like Love Live Sunshine, you'll probably enjoy this too. Some characters act a little different but I think that's fine since they're in a different setting. Go watch it if you wanna, I dunno!

Spy x Family (S3)

Spy x Family continues its fun times from last year and I'm glad to have more of it. They even did an episode on the "Yor Gets Shot in the Ass" chapter which is a really fun and silly one. Yea it was a good time for more spy times, lots of good action set pieces and silly little moments in between. It's like a hugely popular show, I don't know what all you want me to say on this. It's fun and good!

Birdie Wing Golf Girls' Story

We finished the golf! It went even more soap opera and weird! It even felt like they did a Happy GIlmore reference unintentionally! I loved this weird stupid show. I miss it.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

This was an interesting one to say the least, I'm not quite done with it yet but Science Saru plus Scott Pilgrim is a fun set up. It's a complete retelling of the show and honestly I'm for it. A lot more stuff with Ramona and in the Japanese dub, Kim is played by Cure Gelato so yea. If you liked the original series, this should be on your list to check out. And if you liked the movie, all the original actors reprise their roles so bonus points.

Side Things I Enjoyed But Don't Have Much to Say On

Otaku Elf

It's a cute silly little series about a dweeb ass elf. It was fun~

Akane Banashi

This is a manga I started reading a couple months back about a girl trying to become a pro Rakugo performer to avenge her father, but also to claim her own spot in the competitive world of this Japanese art. It's a fun thing that's played really over the top like a sports/battle manga. I enjoy it, you should cheek it out!

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

A series that's ostensibly an isekai but the main character does not seem to have any knowledge of her previous life. At least, outside of vague things like "I saw a witch flying on a broom in a dream that may have been memories of a past I don't remember?? so I'm going to fly on a broom." An interesting one that didn't take the coward's way out at the end either.

So I think this is all I have to say this year? It's not much but it's my little list~ I hope you all enjoyed it~

For next year, I'm looking forward to finishing up the last old Precure season, Happiness Charge. We've also started the original Doremi so that should be fun. We also started watching Freiren so I feel that'll probably be on next year's list so watch out for that. And Dungeon Meshi is very soon too! Hope you all had a good 2023 and let's hope next year is a good one. Or atleast a non painful one.
