We had a kickass action episode last week into some spectacularly directed artsy drama (and kickass action) this week, what a turnaround for this series

YOOO, HELL'S PARADISE?!?

You and I Are Polar Opposites would be fantastic if it were merely just as cute and funny as it is, but that it also explores a bunch of common real personal and relationship hang-ups with really healthy and reasonable conclusions and resolutions (without being preachy) also rules. Really refreshing

You and I Are Polar Opposites #08: Watanabe jumping out from the gang to declare "Let's all go bowling together!"

Close-up: "I want to go bowling."

Extreme close-up: "I want to throw something heavy."

The Two of Us Are Polar Opposites #08: Suzuki eating a parfait looking very old-school cartoony as she does, as her self-consciousness drops; Tani can be seen taking a photo of her as she does

I'm a game design genius

Great episode!

Star Detective Precure! #05: In the torrential rain, Cure Answer and Mystique kneel on the ground, cradling Pochitan

A closeup of Answer, crying and despairing in the rain

A closeup of Mystique, crying and looking very concerned in the rain

Closeup of Pochitan, eyes closed and still (she's just spent too much of her energy)

Pochitan is fucking dead

Star Detective Precure! #05: Mikuru, yelling cartoonishly furiously at a taken aback Anna: "If you had just filled me in, I'd have figured it out right away!!"

Anna, yelling cartoonishly furiously at a taken aback Mikuru: "I tried to! You were the one who went dashing off out of nowhere!"

In closeups of the two of their heads, Mikuru's ahoge grows massive and dominates a nervous Anna's ahoge as Mikuru argues "I had no choice! I was chasing an important lead!"

Anna's ahoge grows massive and dominates a nervous Mikuru's ahoge as Anna growls "Mrgrgrgrgr!!". The entire time, Nijee's face is completely blocked by their ahoges

AHOGE FIGHT

Star Detective Precure! #05: Anna, her face shadowed as she's lit from behind, pouting angrily

Yes... ha ha ha... YES!

Star Detective Precure! #05: Mikuru, crying and terrified, jumping for her life thanks to Anna appearing out of nowhere

Anna, crying and jumping for her life (in a high school uniform and holding two little branches as she was hiding and disguised), at Mikuru's unexpected appearance

dorkass dorks

Star Detective Precure! #05: A security glad in extreme closeup

Mikuru in extreme closeup, her eyes closed tight; it is implied that she is struggling with what the security guard is telling her, face-to-face...

but we zoom out and see she is cowering quite some distance away from the security guard, hands covering her ears. The guard says "You wanted me to share the details, but you ain't even listenin'!"

Anna, crying and scared, cries out "No ghosts! I hate scary spirit stuff!!"

dorkass dork

Star Detective Precure! #05: Anna pulling a suspicious face as she desparately tries to come up with a lie (unconvincingly) to cover up Pochitan's noise

She starts looking frantic and desperate

And then pulls a face aware of just how bad her story is but unable to pull away from it

but we don't just have drama, we also have Good Faces

Star Detective Precure! #05: Mikuru, at school, happily surrounded by her friends, on a walkway above, lit dramatically

A closeup of Anna, her eyes out of frame, but her mouth making her look devestated

Another closeup, dramatically lit shot of Mikuru and her friends, with Mikuru smiling

Anna, eyes covered by her fringe, looking up at Mikuru from behind the barred and closed school gate entrance

Star Detective Precure! #05: Mikuru, in her school uniform, cast in stark shadow by the exit, while Anna, dressed casually, and lit from behind (face in shadow), looks behind her; a gap is conveyed between them

Mikuru, halfway out the door, waves "I'm off!" to Anna

Anna waves goodbye back, the light from the room behind the door half-illuminating her face while the door casts a shadow across her as it closes

Anna and Pochitan are then shown as small, lonely figures in a big, empty, dark shadowy room. Anna remarks "Sure is quiet here."

when the children's cartoon has lighting and framing like this you know you're in for the Good Shit

Star Detective Precure! #05: Mikuru freaking the fuck out

watchin' precure

it's good to see you over here :)

キュアアンサー

Still weird how cheap the RR foiling was. Nice that they pivoted to something more shiny and proper with BT02.

Not sure how much I can do vis-a-vis deckbuilding with these, but nice to have either way!

Pulls from 7 Growth & Genesis packs. There are 4 RRs: "Longbow in the Moonlight, Aoi", "Forbidden Overtrance, Yoshichika", "Reserved Fighting, Ashley", and "Six Fists, Sena"

FOUR RRs??!

Those are 1 in 4 packs (if you include SRs) lmao, insane rips

Seeing Aoi in the first pack was disappointing because I had 2 from back in the day and didn't need more, and then just kept pulling more RRs lmao

7 packs of the Luck & Logic set Growth & Genesis

Well these finally arrived, after Danish customs returned them to seller 🙃

This set is shockingly hard to find, despite (because?) being the first set and arguably the most popular

Some loose packs out there, a box in France they won't ship outside, and like this was all that was reasonably priced

It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.

I felt similarly but was surprised how much better it was upon rewatch - properly calibrated expectations and a better understanding of how it fits into the rebuilds helped a lot for me
