In the previous episode, Dune sent a huge monster to the Precures, which took all of their powers to take out. In this episode… his weakest goons threaten two children and take their toys. Okay,yeah this was a bit of a step back: an intermezzo before the final arc happens, meant to lighten the mood.
A filler this was not, though. It was more like a side-story which could have been omitted, or aired earlier on in the series preferably. It mostly was hilarious because of the banter between Erika and Coffret, which really was perfect to lighten up the mood. The entire premise of the episode was based on”yeah we’re fighting but after a bit of a fight with the bad guys and each other we make up again”. Don’t get me wrong, this still was a very enjoyable episode, but it’s not within the standards that this series has set before.
Yeah, it’s a bit of a shallow episode, but it had plenty of stuff to redeem itself with. This was the best episode yet for the Snackies (or whatever they’re spelled), especially their “maintenance squad” was hilarious, but their visual comedy in this episode was also priceless, now that they finally got the chance to be the main bad guys. Coffret’s voice actress also was really good in this episode, and she prevented what could have been an annoying whiny episode into quite an enjoyable one.
Rating: * (Good)
Wow. I think this episode really wanted to create a bit of calmness between all the epicness that’s going on, because next week looks like it’s going to be … pretty very much awesome. AGAIN.
