      Fun fact: Daisuke Nishio, director / storyboard of the original Precure series, was also the director for almost all of Dragon Ball / DBZ. The premise of the first Precure was that the girls could only use magic when they were together and would have to do martial arts punch ups until it was time for the finishing move.

    Precure often gets talked about alongside shows like Super Sentai and Kamen Rider, and for good reason. It's not just because they air in similar time slots. Rather than thinking of Precure as shonen for girls and comparing it to things like Dragonball or MHA, it's more like Precure is tokusatsu for girls; wild, hot blooded, henshin heroes that speak with their fists and never give up in the face of evil. If toku heroes are the warriors of justice, then Precures are the little sisters of justice.

    • @ashkirby8896

      I’ve always seen magical girls shows and tokusatsu shows as two sides of the same coin, especially the ones made by Toei(and distributed by Saban Brands for some), such as Power Rangers/Super Sentai, Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure/Glitter Force, Kamen Rider/Masked Rider, and Metal Heroes/VR Troopers/Beetleborgs!😄😏😎

    • @TheBellman
      @TheBellman  Před 7 měsíci +62

      I think a big part of it is also that elite animators are actually excited to work on Precure, because they get to start with character designs made for animation and a much looser style guide. You can tell that everyone working on, in particular, Heartcatch Precure was having fun because they got to do a totally different artstyle and go off model at will with cartoony stuff.
      Even if you did bring in the best key animators in the world to work on Dragon Ball or One Piece or whatever they basically have to stick to the identifiable models and styles and animate a fight and power set that dozens of other animators have been doing for decades. Less to work with and more to work around.

    Just a reminder:
    All these clips are either from the very first episode, a pivotal story moment, the final story arc, or a movie.
    In a franchise where each series have around 50 episodes each, it obviously can't keep such high quality for *every* episode, so they need to focus on the times that will get most monetary return.
    Not to say that the other fights are bad, just that they might not have as much of an "impact" as these.

    • @TheBellman
      @TheBellman  Před 7 měsíci +32

      These definitely are some of the best fights from across the decades of Precure, but my impression is that Precure generally has an exceptionally high production value vice the long running mass market shounen series you might compare it to.

      The Yes 5 fight is from a random semi-filler episode about Urara (yellow one) trying to win a talent audition. The Sammurai fight is also from an episode in the middle of its season which is debatably a filler since no major plot progression happens apart from meeting some badass Sammurai. Can’t speak on the other ones because those are my fave seasons and the ones I’m most knowledgeable on.

  • @GELTONZ
    @GELTONZ Před 3 měsíci +10

    To anyone confused as to WHY Precure is like this? The idea was basically to make a non-lewd Cutie Honey. Cutie Honey wasn't even meant to be a magical girl show, it's a Robot Hero show (like Cyborg 009 or Kikaider) but with a female lead and was mostly aimed at boys. However it became somewhat popular with girls too despite its lewdness and had a massive impact on magical girls going forward so it became an honorary magical girl show. When Sailor Moon finished its run, they decided to replace it with Cutie Honey F, basically a more family friendly aimed-at-girls version of Cutie Honey (which was still quite true to the source material). However, due to Cutie Honey's infamy, parents were a bit uncomfortable with their kids watching Cutie Honey F, so someone said "Lets do something like Cutie Honey but not" and that was Futari wa Pretty Cure!
    ...at least, that's how I understand it went down. Oh and yes, some seasons are even written by tokusatsu writers.

      Because a lot of people will cry animal abuse if you use violence against animals, even though there are some animals that are too dangerous to be dealt with peacefully. Garugarus aren't normal animals. They're possessed animals that has twice the power when they damage things.
      I feel like Cure Nyammy's the only one who actually produces results despite her harsh method of using physical force, although her method is far more suited towards dangerous predators (the owl and tiger are the predator animals she took down so far) that Wonderful and Friendy and maybe Lilian are too soft to handle. I just hope that they don't get rid of this as the story progresses now that Lilian joined in.

      @@ViolentinthedaylightYour comment is right. Only Precure season 1 and 2 are by Nishio (the DBZ director). BUT, the guy who directed One Piece since 2019 (so peak era) and directed the Super Broly movie, directed several Precure Arcs and films. He’s named Tatsuya Nagamine. It’s probably utterly wild for the uninformed seeing his filmography, One Peice and DBZ Super movies, and then Precure haha

    This animation is amazing but the premise of the video that Shonen fans are not getting good animation IS FALSE. Shonen is constantly outdoing itself lately.
