Wonderful Precure!

Two years ago I decided to get into Precure via Hirogaru Sky and I’m so glad I did. It’s been one of the most rewarding and beautiful experiences ever for me, quite literally changing my life and opening me up to a part of the anime world I didn’t know about. These shows might be aimed at kids, but that doesn’t mean adults can’t sit down and get a lot out of them. There’s something so beautiful about the simple messages of friendship, learning who you are as an individual and being true to yourself, all lessons we can take into our daily lives. Wanprewas more than just a Saturday night fun watch to me. It’s allowed me to connect with friends from all over the world and truly got me hooked on this franchise. While it may not have had as good a story as Hirogaru sky, the characters and bonds in this season were arguably better. I initially struggled to get with the lack of direct action like the last season and Otonapre, which I also watched recently, had. However, after a while, I really started to appreciate the concept of the girls saving the animals and teaching the audience the importance of respecting wildlife. We share one world with so many different species and it’s important to educate people at a young age about that. There was never a dull moment with this show. I had a blast watching all the girls develop over the last year and felt like a proud older sibling with where this season ended. So many laughs, tears and smiles, it truly lived up to its name and was a wonderful time. Whether it’s Komugi being stupid and saying the most outlandish things, Yuki being a complete tsundere and pretending to hate everyone even though she’s got the biggest heart, or Mayu playing matchmaker with Iroha and Satoru, I had a smile on my face every Saturday for the past year and I’ll miss this show so much. The cure designs and transformations were all great, but Lilian and Nyammy particularly had me in a chokehold. Nyammy’s transformation especially was one of the best I’ve ever seen. As usual with any long running Toei series, some episodes looked better than ever. But when they needed to go all out, they definitely did. The biggest fights looked incredible and there were some awe inspiring set pieces. I’m very content with the production quality! Somehow, Wanpre has been divisive among the fanbase with a lot of people not being able to get into it because of the way the fights are handled this season as well as Komugi being kind of dumb, but you know I think that’s a big part of its charm. It’s an acquired taste and I get it if you don’t like it at the start, but give it a fair shake and I believe you’ll see where this show shines. I certainly did and will miss it a lot. Wanpre gets a very easy 10 out of 10.
