  Welcome back to Kimi to Idoru rundown and THIS IS HUGE!  A while back, the talking Purirun toy released, which had compatibility with the same ribbons used in the Idol Heart Broach, where Purirun tells that Cure to do their best, but with the pencil trick(by jabbing a pencil or anything similar to simulate the pin combo on the gimmick as you can see in this photo of my Red Dial Fighter) These pins interact with counter pins and such on the other toy, as you can see in this photo of my VS Changer (Yeah, I know it’s stupidly dusty…) Anyhow, watch this  The 2 new sounds that are of note are as such; “Kyua Kīsu, isshoni ganbaru~puri”(TL:“Cure Kiss, let's do our best together~puri”) “uta te, odo te, fansa shite! Kyua Zukkyun~puri”(TL:“Sing, dance and please the crowd! Cure Zukyun~puri”) Ok, I don’t know about you but this is damming evidence for at least one of the mid-seasons, Cure Zukyun(Purirun), and given the fact that Kiss’s sound is “Kyua Kīsu, isshoni ganbaru~puri”(wh...

  Hello and welcome back to my Thoughts on, this time… Is Kagari Shirube, Princess Zeal. The daughter of a dance choreographer and an opera singer. Kagari has been surrounded by the performing arts for as long as she can remember. In Alicepia she’s one of the biggest idols on the platform, when attacked by Jammerwocks, she was able to transform. And she had been taking on the Jammerwocks for a while now but never encountered Bes or Guita before.. If I were to compare Minamo to Hibiki, Kagari is the Tsubasa… well… watch this space to see how things change, but for now, this is Cure Ranger, signing off.

  Hello and welcome back to Princession Orchestra Rundown. Let's get into it The episode opens up on the Sorano home as Minamo looks at the item that formed when the Jammerwock was defeated last episode(a Song Fragment) wondering about them, they're essentially Museessence(the energy I mentioned), and how there are 2 different Song Fragments and how they work, go to OP After the OP, there's more Minamo incidents(that's becoming part of my "style", isn't it?) Go to title card and Minamo studying Shirube and more incidents, and Minamo and Shirube are talking.

That night, Uta’s mother told her about her own dream, in bed she struggles to understand, the following morning it's found that Uta was in "sleepwalk mode", the others try to help Uta find her dream to little effect as her brain overloads before seeing the idol, but saying she is already one, with the villains the 2 argue and the boss decides she's going as well, go to ad After the ads U...

  Hello and welcome back to GQuuuuX rundown.

  Welcome back, and here… is the first of the thoughts on our 3 main heroes First off, our protagonist Minamo Sorano(huh.. first rundown had a blue protagonist, and the first non-PreCure anime rundown also has a blue protagonist)/Princess Ripple Now early on, due to the way I watched I struggled but on rewatch I still struggle, I get of how close she is with Natsu and loves music, but admits she isn't good at it and prefers being on the sidelines, this is tested in the first episode. She also figures out about the 'princess' side in a way, and when the Jamawock attack, she chooses to not stand By and let others take Natsu's dream, leading to her transformation into Princess Ripple. Also I've seen the internet compare her to Symphogear's lead character just without the idiotic side and undercurrent of trauma. Anyhow until next time, this is Cure Ranger singing off.

Hello and welcome back to Kimi to Idoru rundown  After the Toei Animation logo it opens at the branch office, as its mentioned the songs will come to CD, they then see the studio, go to OP After the OP and title card it shows how Uta had been practicing so was Nana, cut to Nana recording, next was Kokoro who keeps falling while Uta does her recording and Kokoro attempts again, with the scene before it feeling in part like a hand-off, cut to the following day as Kokoro discovered how the sign changed, with a flashback to episode 2. At Glitter Cafe they all see the cd as Kokoro mentions something that Mikoto has stated. Then at Kokoro's home incidents, the following morning Kokoro finds out about the fans she already has, cut to the villains as Curty sets off, go to ad break After the ads with the event with Cutty seeing so much KiraKira, with the girls, go to transformation, after transformation everyone goes out as Cutty tries to resist the urge to create a Makkuranda. The event be...

  Hello and welcome back, now for my thoughts on our protagonist Amate ‘Machu’ Yuzuriha(Gundam names…)[if you think the names I’ve mentioned so far in episode 1 are weird enough, let’s just say that Amate probably has yet to meet some of the weirder ones in this show, this is the franchise where Quattro Bajeena is a viable name] Anyhow. Amate is from Side 6, which had been Neutral throughout the OYW of UC 0079(read: events of the original Mobile Suit Gundam) between the Earth Federation Forces and the Principality of Zeon. Amate is also a highly powerful newtype(essentially the next step of humanity, with the needed evolutions to survive in the confines of space) with insane athletic abilities, she feels her life on the colony is fake and soon runs into battle, I don't have much else right now, but I will talk about it in time,  Until next time this is Cure Ranger, signing off.

  Hello and welcome to yet another new show.. this one is Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuux. Let's begin After a quiet op it opens on a battle between 2 Zaku as a ship approaches Side 6, as a Gundam is sensed, elsewhere a police Zaku is attacked by the mystery Red Gundam After the title card we meet our protagonist as she sees someone free-running through the subway station and colliding into Machu, soon she explains about the colonies and finding an installer device was smuggled into her bag, elsewhere the military police are struggling, the ship commander talks about Char and then on the new suit to stop the red Gundam, the GQuuuuuX which deploys, back on colony the one who unintentionally gave Amate the key(her name is Nyann, again, Gundam names) tries to take it back as a lot happens, with the key delivered as a side job, then the GQuuuuux is attacked by the Red Gundam, the current pilot unable to use it On the colony again Amate is led to the underground Clan-Bat world. Delivering t...

  Hello and welcome to a new series… Anyhow, the show opens up at the school, our main main protagonist Minamo Sorano and a classmate of hers(Natsu) during which a concert is mentioned, soon Minamo is pulled out of the room, a brief instrumental intro with our other protagonists follows. After that ends it cuts to Minamo’s home. Inside she meets with her father and brother, and Minamo asks if her mother is back yet. Then a brief moment with Minamo and her younger brother, Riku(who seems almost permanently attached to his tablet…) in Minamo’s room she checks on the channel for Alicepia and talks through text with Natsu. And it reveals the site leads to another world, a ‘Wonderland’ where only girls can go, Minamo leaves out and walks past the natural inhabitants of this world, as the secret is mentioned, and to adults and boys it’s just a video site, it explains this world allows people to do whatever they want, a world of adventures, with permission, even live shows can be performe...

  Hello and welcome back to Kimi to Idoru rundown…  After the Toei Animation logo it shows Nana at home before she contacts her mother via video call, then cutting to Uta and Kokoro on the way to school as Nana acts weirdly, Uta name-drops the episode, go to OP.  After the title card it cuts to Glitter Cafe as she continues to act weird, up in Uta’s room it shows even more weirdness with a 4th "wonder" into a 5th, before long the 2 follow Nana back home, go into 6th.

 Hey and SWITCH 2 DIRECT TIME! This show was 1 hour long(that is insane) It opened up with the new Mario Kart, which I can compare as what if Burnout Paradise and Mario Kart had a child. It is then followed by talk about the consoles features and some new games, both first and 3rd party, Switch 2 editions.. with some major shocks being the new Mario Kart, a sequel to Kirby Air Ride, and a huge 3D Donkey Kong game… but overall, there wasn’t too much features that shocked me, but the chat one and Switch Online GameCube did… well.. there are some more showcases this week in 2 treehouse presentations. But regardless until next time this is Cure Ranger, signing off.
