Introduction
Yumehara Nozomi, a regular student, finds a magical book called the Dream Collet in the library and meets Coco and Nuts, two creatures from the Palmier Kingdom. They plead with Nozomi to restore their world, which has been destroyed by an organization called the Nightmares, by completing the Dream Collet and finding the 55 Pinkies to make any wish come true. Meanwhile, the Nightmares are moving into the real world. Once Nozomi agrees to help, Coco and Nuts transform her into the magical girl Cure Dream and turn four fellow students into her Pretty Cure team.

Yes! 5 Precure is so boring. All of the other Precure seasons I’ve seen thus far have something to offer, but this one has absolutely nothing, and I mean that with complete sincerity.
Most of the Precure are your bog standard tropes that Toei loves using, like the blue one being the rich girl, and the red one being athletic. I know this was the first series to have more than two/three girls, but still. They could’ve done way better. The characters are super boring, and while their relationships were cute, they’re nothing special. I was considering actually dropping this season outright because it was so boring, but Milk saved the entire show. Yeah, I like Milk. She’s bitchy, and honestly, it’s a breath of fresh air. Besides, after her debut, she’s really only mean to Nozomi, and has a nice…

My review of Yes! PreCure 5
Yumehara Nozomi aka Cure Dream is a caring individual with a big heart and a bright perspective. While realizing she may not be talented or have any usable skills, she makes up for it by being very friendly and kind towards others, even her enemies. A bit of a late thinker, she sometimes gets distracted and She is also childish, loud, and clumsy, and does not seem to make decisions rationally
Kasugano Urara aka Cure Lemonade bit materialistic, but calm and polite, Urara is naturally cheery and sweet, but while she normally shows this to others without hesitation, she is actually very shy until she befriended Yumehara Nozomi. She is somewhat similar to Nozomi in that they are both shown rushing head-first into things, and they love eating.
She can also be…

My long Precure journey continues and now it’s time to make a stop at Yes! Precure 5. Expanding from two to three to four(?) in "back-to-back-to-back" seasons, the most logical step for the Precure franchise was to broaden even more the number of members in this brand new instalment. Thus, we get to meet five new senshis with a promising story, which I’ll be reviewing down here.
Story
Regarding the plot, there’s no innovation in the basic component of the story, as the precure fight in hopes of restoring the Palmier Kingdom, which has been destroyed by an evil organisation called Nightmare. The novelty, though, is that the senshis do not transform at the same time nor are they picked by the mascots, among other things. In fact, the first thing that struck me was that the leader (Nozomi)…

To put it simply, the entire series is built on the premise of not giving up and giving into despair, which enables it to take a more lucid and emotional approach, not unlike Sailor Moon. Despite the fact that Milk ruined a solid handful of episodes, the season is still enjoyable despite her presence; as for the concept of simply "never giving up," while it is excessively childish and ill thought-out in execution, still works; this is because the girls are able to form realistic characters that are generally believable, whether or not the tropes for their characters have been used already. Personally, I noticed on this rewatch that most enemies this season take the form of insects, though I couldn't find any plot-relevant correlation. The concept of despair works surprisingly well, due in…

I'm watching everything related to Pretty Cure in chronological order and it was time for the 4th season: Yes! Precure 5
There's a lot of good things about this season but also a ton of things that went wrong and I'll explain why I had to give this season a low score.
Visuals:
1) I like the character design but the backgrounds don't fit at all. They're pretty to look at but they have nothing in common with the characters and it looks very out of place. 49 episodes in, I still wasn't used to it.
2) I like the effects used in some of the special attacks animations.
3) Sometimes the animation gets really sloppy like characters with different proportions (ex: one eye bigger than the other and such)
4) I really like how each Precure has a slightly different uniform
Sound:
1) the soundtra…

I've looked at the PreCure franchise quite a bit. With Futari wa, Max Heart, Splash Star and Doki Doki as well as three different films. This time around, we're going back to the first PreCure series to feature a team, Yes PreCure 5. This one ran from early '07 to early '08. The head writer was Narita Yoshimi, who also did series composition work on Splash Star. So, that's a pretty good sign. Let's delve back into the world of PreCure.
Story:
We open with our main heroine, Yumehara Nozomi, running late for school. Something we've never seen in any anime before besides ninety percent of them. On her way there she almost trips but gets caught by a very handsome older man. Being more than a little thick, she thinks of it as a fated encounter. Even when he turns out to be a gay squirrel. But…

Nozomi Yumehara is a girl without a dream or goal for the future. She's clumsy and is good at neither sports nor academics. Until now she's just been drifting through her life without a care in the world. That all changes when she suddenly meets Coco, a fairy prince from the destroyed Palmier Kingdom, and now she decides that she will become Pretty Cure to fight evil and help revive the Palmier Kingdom.
Yes5 greatly changes the formula for the Pretty Cure franchise. It's the first season to give the individual Cure's the ability to transform without each other and have their own attacks for defeating the Monster's of the Week. Changing Pretty Cure from a duo to a five-person team also obviously increases the number of important characters and makes the team dynamic and character interacti…
