It’s as if the creators knew that episode 17 wasn’t as good as the others and thus used this episode to make up for it. Apart from being as charming as it ever was, the visual direction also was just awesome. You could really see that the creators were playing around with the formula a bit this time.
while it was of course awesome to see a Desatorian using Kumojacky as a paint brush (no, really), Kumojacky’s reaction to this was what made it priceless. The way in which he didn’t mind to be used as a brush to paint things with… I really wonder where the creators got that idea.
But the entire pacing of this episode was just fun and quirky, this episode again had such a wide variety of facial expressions and emotions through each other, it’s something that especially the earlier episodes of this series shined at, and it’s great to see that it’s back. And at the same time, ‘Ban-kun”s story was very charming. While not exactly a mother’s boy, this episode was more about being proud of what you want to do, rather than being honest to your mother. And at the same time it also didn’t pretend to have that black and white of a message, as there are definite disadvantages in his future compared to him becoming, say, a salary-man.
Also, I’m not exactly sure why the creators were purposefully stretching the sailor-moon-syndrome to its limits here. I mean, there were literal pages in which ban-kun drew Tsubomi and Erika in his manga, it makes no sense, but it’s a nice find. One thing I also loved about this episode was how supportive the two of them were for Ban-kun’s dreams.
Rating: *** (Awesome)
That episode was just wacky!And I love it!The victim this week is just so wacky,and the way that he was overreacting when his manga was found was just so funny!And to think that he was drawing shoujo manga of all things!
And the chemistry between the characters are really good,its been a long time since the character interaction charmed me the way the characters in this anime does!
I just finished watching this episode and this is the cutest and most adorable episode of Heartcatch Precure yet! I loved it to bits! This is officially my number one favorite episode of this series! Mainly because of my own desire to become a mangaka (though my skills are NOWHERE as good as Ban-kun’s) and because of how awesome and cute Tsubomi and Erika were, mostly when they were acting out the manga. That was sublime!
