I like how things getting fixed after kyoborgs wreak havoc have an explanation besides anime magic. Wait, ひろがる means spreading or expanding (at least according to my internet searchesbut also sounds like Hero Girl? Sora’s VA was fun this ep. I looked her up and I guess she’s Charlotte in Princess Principal and Tokime in Fuuto Tantei, which are two characters pretty unlike Sora. Sky Punch was pretty awesome and I guess that was Yuu Yoshiyama again? I like Skearhead getting a bit more depth? and Sora getting a bit more character development from it.

Between this and 16bit this season, I’m appreciative of how squeaky Aoi Koga can get. Obviously Ageha is the best of the Precures this season because she can eat the most. Is Battamonda doing a hot dog/coffee combo? Or is the cup just coffee cup like? Kinda seems dangerous on the stomach. I guess Mashiro is chill with Battamonda even after that last ep with the henshin? Skearhead just happening on Monda and Mashiro kinda makes me wonder what he does when he’s not on screen, I guess he just takes walks or something. Was kinda hoping kyoborg would shoot hot dogs and mustard and relish and what not but I guess those coffee cup things are good too. Looks like maybe we’re getting hints of things ramping up towards end of series with the direct confrontation of Skearhead and the next ep preview.

Good to have this show back after a week break. Kinda wonder if there were dinosaurs in Skyland. I mean, they have dragons and birds so why not. Life’s Journey yahoo! does seem to cover quite the range of topics though, from dinosaurs to weddings (and as we all know, being a dinosaur is such a magical part of one’s life journey).

I liked the look of the opening sequence, especially with Mashiro’s little glowly light. Are pumpkin ghosts actual things? They look great in their costumes anyways. I guess overall the animation looked a bit more lively than the last couple weeks. The kids are trick-or-treating during the daytime though? Wait, is Pretty Holic a Precure thing in general? Because I remember it from Tropical Rouge i think… Not a big Battamonda fan but I liked his henshin into Cure Pumpkin (also now that I look his VA up, I did like KENN in Uchuu Kyoudai and it looks like he has a main role in iDOLISH which I’ve been meaning to get to…). Cure Majesty getting the baby treat and having to eat it when she turns back just raises more questions for me in terms of her mental age going back and forth… but also it was a pretty funny gag.

I guess we don’t get to see everybody en route to Skyland this time around and just start with everybody there. I really like that “hammoak” pun, I guess that’s a subs-only thing? (my Japanese is not great ,… at all, but I’m hearing “kaze no ue no ki no ha”). I guess Tsubasa is a bird riding on top of a bigger bird huh. What a coincidence that the members of the Dragon Tribe are all kinda the same colors as our main crew huh. I kinda wonder if the Dragon Tribe, namely the purple one, is weirded out by Ellee’s age change. Tsubasa and his complexes with flying and the Dragon Tribe and the momentary Chekhov’s leaves were a nice little bit. Does Skearhead really have a mind palace or is that just his weird way of saying he’ll remember this.
