Homare gets her negativity taken but the talk with hana really helped and she gets herself together :)
Cure Étoile looks good.

Compared to last week, not as good, and a bit of a let-down end to the Homare drama, but still a decent episode. Is the bad guy going to be out this quickly? You would think he would last more than 5 episodes.

This episode was somewhat of a letdown compared to the previous episode/s. Sure, we finally got to see Homare/Etoile transform with the help of Hana/Yell's and Saaya/Ange's words and friendship (well, mostly Hana's, but whatever). I guess what I'm trying to say is that, while they've never broached the subject of it being a struggle to become a Precure (as in, it's always been "easy" in previous series), the so-called climax of it for Homare was kind of...ehhhh.

The upsides to this episode, however, was the beautiful transformation scene of Homare into Cure Etoile, the action/fighting (even if there was barely any), the bad guy/evil company, the opening of "Beauty Harry", et cetera (and not necessarily in that order). 'Tis a shame that Homare/Etoile couldn't finish off her own monster instead of Hana/Yell, though, but oh well.

Somewhat excited for the next episode as I've been waiting to see if - like it's shown in the OP as well as ED - the girls will be finding and/or going down numerous job/career paths, so...

Overall Episode Score: 6/10.

Man, I'm loving this new season of Precure so much. All the buildup for Cure Etoile was worth it for me, the yellow Cures always tend to be my favorite. I think someone mentioned this in the last discussion, but I really like how they didn't rush in just one episode where Homare deals with her past issues and then realized "oh I have friends (even though I just met these people) and can ACHIEVE MY DREAMS," but instead, Toei gave her a few episodes to really struggle and come to terms with the conflict that has been haunting her so much. It was a lot more realistic to me and it made me connect with Homare/Etoile much more. Seeing her finally be able to fly (and I love how she looks like a flight attendant) after becoming a Precure was a great end to the episode! I know the playing-the-OP-for-emotional-effect is so overused, but I admit that it brought a wee tear to my eye. I liked the fight from last episode much more, but honestly, this episode is just another great one in a so-far-so-good season of Precure!

Fure fure, Etoile!

fun and cute episode albeit bit of a downgrade from last one in terms of fight animation.
Etoile's attack reminds me of Lemonade's attack with yellow chain binding the enemy.
Her proportion at the end of transformation make her look very modelesque, those legs go on forever!
Loved all the hand holdings and blushes and that face rub with Hug-tan at the end! so cute!!!

I have to agree with the others who said the resolution wasn't as satisfying as last week's climax. And even though Homare is my favourite of the girls, she has my least favourite Cure design. It just really bothers me that they made her hair grow out so much in the transformation.

Also, does anyone have any ideas about Lulu? Could she be Cure #4? She doesn't really fit in with the rest of Evil Co. imo and the Precure items all have pink, blue, yellow, and purple stones on them so.. coincidence? I don't think so.

Good episode introduction for Cure Etoile. Scary looking Oshimaeda this time, big and black.. it looks like a demon... I guess it symbolize the trauma that Homare experienced during her accident. Friends help her overcome the trauma of course... and she's a part of the team now. Homare precure form is so tall.. she looks like a model. :)

Would this precure series follow the old formula where villains that get defeated too many times are disposed of? Hmm..

It's possible that Hana is the only one who has the move that could finish off a monster. I remember Ange also did not finish off the oshimaeda in the episode where she transformed for the first time.

Yeah, a bit of a downgrade from the previous episode fight animation. However... after experiencing the boring "fight" scenes of Kirakira... I'm thankful for the fact that we even have some decent action here at Hugtto. So I forgive them for the downgrade. :)

Oh, it does look similar to Cure Lemonade attack. But Etoile use only one hand for her move.. maybe because she's more physically strong.

Yeah, kirakira fights were pretty sad mostly. With Hugtto it is good seeing actual punches and kicks again!

Perhaps all that strength is coming from her height. lol. she looks incredibly tall!!

Really liked the talk between them and how they wanted to be more like the other, glad to see that Homare took a step forward!

Etoile is pretty much the most mature looking precure of all time, she could easily pass for a mid-20's adult
