ガチ勢 (Gachizei — I mistyped it on the last reply, sorry) are people who are really engaged in something; think of them as "hard-core fans". It's crazy to think that they look for the minimum details in every episode. For example, they knew since the first time a certain villainess showed up that she was a student of the same school as the protagonist and her role in it (I will not give many details of it in order to not spoil it for you), or they knew at least 5 weeks prior to the episode that a new cure would join the team because of the day that the merchandise would be put on sale. A famous gachizei of Precure is Takayuki Haranishi; he is a comedian who showed up on Smile Precure and has a section on Wikipedia about how much he likes Precure.
That is a nice thing that you still didn't give up the Japanese language. I know that the Japanese language is one of the hardest to learn for English speakers, but after you have learned the conjugations and particles, you only have to expand your vocabulary; you can use Anki for that. Precure is a kids show, so its manga is very kind to people who are not used to reading Japanese kanji. I think it would be a fun experience to use it to learn Japanese if you used a good dictionary to help you (like takoboto.jp or jisho.org). If you cannot go to Japanese classes, you can learn it on imabi.org or on YouTube.

| @Fenekin I wouldn't call myself a "hard-core" precure fan, although I own a few physical and legal digital copies of the manga and light novels (which I have yet to read). From what I recall, the design of the new cure is revealed on things like magazines before the anime airs. Besides, you can sometimes tell if a character is likely to become a Precure if you have enough experience following the franchise. |
