Heartcatch Precure – 33




It’s cure Moonlight’s return. Of course this episode was awesome!

I mean, this entire episode was dedicated to Yuri and her past as Cure Moonlight. The creators here really waste no time to use their new powers in order to help Yuri get her powers back, and even then it wasn’t just a cheap revive that completely negated the build-up of the earlier episodes: despite how extremely badass Yuri’s fairy looked, he remains dead, and can only talk to her through some sort of illusion from the heart tree. The main reason why Yuri was able to transform again was due to Tsubomi and Erika’s work, both in collecting the heart seeds and bringing back her motivation.

Yuri’s fairy was even more proof that this series has some of the best animal mascots I’ve seen in in a mahou shoujo. Most of the time they’re either just a device to get girls to transform, acting as annoying and cute as possible. Here things are completely different, especially the veterans like Koppei and Koron: both are just totally badass in their ow way, and both really are crucial in their support, yet at the same time they never try to steal the spotlights.

Moonlight’s transformation looked gorgeous, by the way. It didn’t have the huge amount of frames that Cure Sunshine had, but really made up for it with its gorgeous art. Right now, I really am convinced that she has the best character-designs of the entire series, hence why she hooked me from the first episode.
Rating: *** (Awesome)

  1. I can see from those screen shots that its gonna be 1 hell of a beautiful episode!Makes me so impatient for the subs!Can’t wait for Cure Moonlight!

  2. I thought Cologne will be reborn in someway when he said “We’ll see each other again soon”,it’s kinda sad that he only appeared as a spirit.Pretty good episode,can’t wait for the showdown next week!

    BTW Cure Moonlight’s character design is indeed awesome,but I really like Tsubomi’s design too.I like her normal appearance the most amongst the main characters.Must be the big pink hair ^^;
