Damn, you're totally right.

Also, this episode's animation was totally crazy, Koudai Watanabe is a madman.

animation was so awesome this episode! this is how precure fights should be!!!
for some reason the art style during the fight reminded me of FreshPrecure episode where the cures fought wig monster, which for me is one of the best precure fights.

on a side note, one of the "bad boys" playing basket ball reminded me of digimon for some reason, slap a goggle on him and we get taichi

I like when because problems of past become a problem to be a precure. Like in this episode. Basically because I hate when someone makes a monologue about "Trust in yourself, I be with you". And the other part is "its true, I have friends, someone that believes in me". And because this, I can win.

Now to wait next episode.

This episode was my favourite of the season so far. These are my cinnamon rolls and they need to be protected T_T

And I need the song that played in the background when Homare's crystal materialised. Soo good!

Surprisingly good episode. Hmm, so that's why Homare looks depressed.. that fall in the competition must have traumatized her a bit.

sure, but it's a wiki page in Korean though, the sales I mentioned is how much Bandai made from Precure merchandise. Average viewer rating can also be found and the original Japanese data is linked in the page as well. And the market size for Precure also listed. You can appreciate how big Precure used to be, Bandai bringing in > 1billion USD (100billion Yen) per year just from Precure toys back in the day.

There are several charts there. Can you point out which one says the sales on precure toys?

Those are some huge amounts of money. It's obvious they would continue the franchise every year.

It is the third chart from section 9 on the wiki page.

I'll do a quick translation here

토에이의 바로 전 작품들인 《오자마녀 도레미》 시리즈와 《내일의 나쟈》를 포함한 시청률과 반다이 완구 매상 수익 추이.

TV rating and Bandai toy sales figure including Toei previous titles in the same time slot, Ojamajo Doremi and Ashita no nadja.

연도 (year), 평균 시청률 (average rating), 첫회 시청률 (first episode rating), 수익 (sales), 작품 (title)

1999년, 10.4%, n/a, 49 billion yen, 오자마녀 도레미 (Ojamajo Doremi)
2000년, 11.2%, n/a, 76 billion yen, 오자마녀 도레미# (Ojamajo Doremi #)
2001년, 10.6%, n/a, 65 billion yen, 좀~더! 오자마녀 도레미 (motto Ojamajo Doremi)
2002년, 8.3%, n/a, 40 billion yen, 오자마녀 도레미 돗~쾅~! (Ojamajo Doremi Dokkaan)
2003년, 6.8%, n/a, 31 billion yen, 내일의 나쟈, (Ashita no Nadja)
2004년, 7.29%, 7.4%, 101 billion yen, 두 사람은 프리큐어 (Futari wa Precure)
2005년, 7.87%, 8.0%, 123 billion yen, 두 사람은 프리큐어 MaxHeart
2006년, 6.38%, 8.8%, 60 billion yen, 두 사람은 프리큐어 SplashStar
2007년, 6.58%, 7.4%, 96 billion yen, Yes! 프리큐어 5 (translator note: Yes Precure 5 would have sold more, but stores sold out and children had to wait until more toys were produced. These five girls saved Precure franchise as the Toei was prepared to end Precure franchise if they didn't do well. you can see the increase in fight/animation quality from earlier episode to later ones. clear example of good sales leading to better animation)
2008년, 5.6%, 6.7%, 101 billion yen, Yes! 프리큐어 5 GoGo!
2009년, 6.49%, 7.4%, 115 billion yen, 프레시 프리큐어! (fresh Precure)
2010년, 6.5%, 6.6%, 130 billion yen, 하트 캐치 프리큐어! (heart catch)
2011년, 5.2%, 6.0%, 103 billion yen, 스위트 프리큐어♪ (suite. translator note: tsunami is blamed for dip in sales, also the Toei executives forced change in the story line to make it more light hearted in light of national disaster but I've got no proof, several dip in production quality is noticeable this season, along with more reliance on Toei Philippines branch. why tsunami why! many Precure fans point to Suite as the beginning of decline of Precure)
2012년, 5.3%, 5.4%, 108 billion yen, 스마일 프리큐어! (smile. translator note: very strong first quarter sales but it didn't finish strong)
2013년, 4.89%, 5.4%, 96 billion yen, 심쿵! 프리큐어 (doki doki)
2014년, 4.68%, 5.8%, 78 billion yen, 해피니스 차지 프리큐어! (happiness charge)
2015년, 4 .06%, 3.7%, 64 billion yen, Go! 프린세스 프리큐어 (Princess)
2016년, n/a , 5.2%, 71 billion yen, 마법사 프리큐어! (maho girls)

there you go, hope it helped

Some really good info there. Thanks a lot!

We are fortunate indeed. If Precure 5 did not do well. we would not have all these precure series in later years. Nozomi and her friends allowed for th e other precure to be born. ^^

Who else is here because of the pedantic romantic's video?

I accidentally skipped over episode 3 before watching this episode. But because of that, it really strongly set up that expectation that she'd become a precure in that episode. Which made it so crushing that she failed.

I'm tempted to watch the episode again.

Enjoyed Homare's backstory as well as hesitation in regards to becoming a Precure due to past trauma, as well as the coach thinking it's HIS fault for said past trauma. Also enjoyed the animation for BOTH the basketball "game" and the fight - sort of reminded me of the oh-so BEAUTIFUL animation in Go!Pri now that I think about it. All in all, I'll give this episode a 7/10.

Wow, Hana is super gay.

This show has been spectacularly animated so far... probably puts the rest of the season to shame. So expressive and dripping with passion...

This episode made me tear up, seeing both Homare and her coach suffering for the effects of her injury hurts, I also appreciate that this hasn't been fixed in a single episode, that's how it has to be.

The animation of the fight scene was amazing.

Yes! Now this is the Precure I was wanting. This episode was a bit cheesy, but cool nonetheless.

I really liked how they let Homare fail. It grounded the overwhelming optimism a bit and made the fight scene even cooler. And regarding the fight scene, that was some Go! Princess awesomeness right there with the great animation and sweet camera angles.

I'm very satisfied right now.

Well, I wasn't expecting her to fail.
With the guy's dialogue about his plan will go with a hitch unless something unexpected like a new cure appears, I thought that was tempting fate, but nah (he got beat anyway lol)
animation is fantastic!

what the eff is up with this season?
the animation's great and the storytelling's not bad either

this is like polar opposite of the previous 2 seasons of precure,
monsters are still lame as eff, but the rest is pretty damned great, wtf _xD?
