Wait, so were all unhappy that you lied to us, but because tsubomi said that you had the courage to tell us, were all happy again?

Yeah, something like this. Anyway, at least he admitted he lied.

Next time, Potpourri runs away from home because... Itsuki goes to school and doesn't play with him/her/it? What a spoiled brat!

I'm still waiting for Moonlight to join them ):

Tsubomi keeps blushing around Itsuki.
The episode was boring, can't wait for the ones with Cure Moonlight.

Agreed, something was just off in this episode only 3 more episodes for moonlight...

The fight was horrible, first Sunshine just stands around while Blossom and Marine get beaten, then Sunshine tries to get some smackdown while Blossom and Marine Stand around waiting to get hit and then Sunshine attacks and with no indication to why her attack didn't work (because the plot says so) just so Blossom can hit the final blow. AND Marine has no lines whatsoever.

And the biggest kicker...Kumojacky compliments Blossom on her fighting spirit instead of Sunshine why ?
just for canon shipping ?!

Yeah, there should have been more emphasis on the kid getting frustrated, and sticking with challenging himself, and the situation not fixing itself JUST because he came out with it. Kids shows shouldn't have to be bibles, though, so I still liked Hayashi's story.

The fight was weirder, with the girls hanging back in turns. Couldn't they have done a combined attack with the wands/tambourines/whatever, at least? It's been bothering me that Itsuki does so much more in the fights, yet nobody cares. Like it's just the natural order of things that Tsubomi and Erika can't be as cool, and that Itsuki always has to kick ass.

I hated the fight. Sunshine just stood there like loli_slayer said and then because it's sunshine, the attack did more damage. I actually laughed when her attack didn't work. I think it made the episode for me, just cause I don't really like Sunshine.

Ever since Sunshine entered the picture the entire series just lost its pace, with the first notable thing was the OP, I don't mind making it the same (In fact I never skip it) but from the "new animation it seems that they just put some Itsuki and Potpurri (can't spell the fairy's name for the life of me) just for the sake of being there (the scene in the OP where Itsuki and the newspaper girl are chasing Erika and Tsubomi is entirely useless since that scene is suppose to show us that those two don't know the identities of the Precure, after that Sunshine only appears fora second just to show some of the transformation and then the rest of the OP is like the first one until just a shot of the full team (I really do hope that when Moonlight joins back they'll get a new OP...).

*takes a deep breath*

Now for the episodes after Sunshine addition to the team the first thing I was expecting was a group transformation (which I have been complaining constantly for the last couple of episode discussions :P ) but it just mixes the 2 "groups" of transformation which turns the entire sequence into a mess ( Heartcatch was the only Precure series I haven't skipped the transformations, I was hoping they would follow Fresh's transformation and adapt to new member joining in) and to wrap it all up we don't get a combined attack (since it was established that there are combined attacks with Blossom and Marine ones) just making the fights messier.

This is the second anime that has ever made my blood boil for some reason (with the first being Clannad ~After Story~ *stabs himself in the eye*), I don't why a simple magical girl show is making me like that...

They should have took a page from Ground Defense Mao-Chan and used a proper formation attack.

Pretty plain episode, nothing really interesting... Again, Sunshine did all the job herself, the anime is really too focused on her during the fights. I'll not complain since she's my new favorite, but... ^^;

It's not that Sunshine attack didn't work, she just didn't roll her tambourine while screaming "aaaaah!, that's why the desertian was just paralyzed there.

Anyway, the episode was cute, but nothing really special about it. Next episode promises to be boring lol but things are gonna heat up after that!

I was frustrated with the fight scene. It made no sense why people kept on standing back and just watching. I love all three girls, but COME ON! Why bother having all the girls there for the fight if you are going to have them take turns like this is Final Fantasy?

Wow, I am glad I am not the only one who disliked this episode. I am really sick and barely able to think straight right now, so I thought that was the reason I thought the episode sucked and I might have had to take a break. Turns out, it really was as boring as I thought. The conflict was laughable and the fight not that great... and I don't want my Tsubomi to be all lovey dovey with this random-ass plain boy. No thanks. :P

Best parts were her self-made dress and half-naked Kumojacky.

Looked up the real distance Hayashi-kun rode, it's 362km! Pretty impressive, sad he got so depressed. It's not even halfway through, apparently, it's *more*.

Biking 500km from Kyoto to Tokyo sounds like an amazing experience. It's understandably difficult and potentially dangerous, so I don't fault Hayashi for bailing halfway. Still, I'd absolutely try biking that route too if given the opportunity, and that's knowing full well that I might not be able to complete the route either. It does make me wonder why Hayashi was rushing himself though. I assumed he had a good chunk of summer to complete the route. I the mountains were just too rough, even with that amount of time.
