Well, having nothing better to do (STUDYING DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE IT'S BORING) I decided to watch the first five episodes of Yes Pretty Cure 5

And now I want to make an AMV based on it... and I'm probably gonna fail my upcoming test xD

They're up to seven seasons now, though the second and fifth are continuations of the season before.

I'm not sure how many movies there are, but there are movies as well.

Might be the same number of seasons, but Pokemon has way more episodes... each Precure season is usually around 50 episodes, which would be 350 total (once the 7th is completed) .... isn't Pokemon well over 500 now?

Pokemon, up to D/P, has 671 episodes. Not counting the movies, shorts, specials, etc. It's just a 30 minute commercial for video games and trading cards anyway. :V

It's probably not the exact same PreCure everytime though. To my understanding, there's the original Futari wa Pretty Cure and its two follow-ups, Yes! Pretty Cure GoGo! and it's follow-up, Fresh Pretty Cure, and Heartcatch Pretty Cure. Now, Gundam. That's kind of a scary thought. ;; Care to fill us in Jordan?

Pretty much that, though the second Futari Wa follow-up, Splash Star, actually did have new characters and setting. Although Saki and Mai from Splash Star are so similar to Nagisa and Honoka from the first two seasons that they might have well been the same. Splash Star did have cooler villains, though.

The first season was dubbed in English... but only released in Canada. Though apparently it's going to be released in the UK. Still no word on a US release, sadly...

So it was dubbed?

I believe the reason behind that was because mahou shoujo series just aren't popular in America. Which is probably why Tokyo Mew Mew (or Mew Mew Power if you wanna go by the 4Kids name), Ojamajo Doremi (Magical DoReMi as called by 4Kids again), and Full Moon o Sagamuke are incomplete. They just didn't wanna risk it with Pretty Cure.

Ocean Production and Blue Water Studios handled the dubbing, which will be used for both Canadian and UK releases.

And unfortunately that seems to be the trend in the US... for some reason Americans don't want to see girls using magical powers to kick butt:/


EDIT:
Pretty Cure was dubbed and aired in the US? What channel was it on?
No US release. It aired on YTV in Canada and will air on a UK network.

And yet all of Sailor Moon was dubbed, wasn't it? /or at least a good portion of it

I guess after that it just died out. It's too bad, too, 'cause there are some decent mahou shoujo series out there.

I'm not sure how much of Sailor Moon was dubbed and released. I know at least one of the complete seasons/story arcs was finished.

Apparently the genre was already on its way downhill by the time the botched "Cardcaptors" arrived... they tried to make both Sakura and Syaoran as the heroes of the show:/

Poor Sakura. I heard the dub was terrible, but I never really watched it XD;

Not a huge CLAMP fan, to be honest (though xxxHolic isn't so bad, and I guess Cardcaptor Sakura wouldn't be either).

Our society seems to like more action stuff. Gurren Lagann, Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, you name it.

I haven't seen much by CLAMP outside of CCS, actually...

And on an unrelated note, MAL is being very uncooperative today:/

Aye.

I wonder when it'll decide to temporarily cooperate, 'cause I wanna add PPGZ to my "Plan to Watch" list as well as put a bunch of other anime series "On Hold".

Now, Gundam. That's kind of a scary thought. ;; Care to fill us in Jordan?
Gundam has a bunch of universes thanks to multiple spin-offs, but the main one (Universal Century Gundam) follows one timeline and has had many seasons over the past three decades. Thanks to that, a lot of things won't make sense if one watches a random season without watching the original Mobile Suit Gundam or read over a long summary. The main story goes like this, ignoring the OVAs:

Mobile Suit Gundam -> Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam -> Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam -> Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack -> Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn -> Mobile Suit Gundam F91 -> Mobile Suit Victory Gundam

(Note that they didn't air in that order)

As for the alternate universes, there are Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed, G Gundam, Gundam 00, After War Gundam X, Turn A Gundam, and SD Gundam Force (a chibi robot thing), none of which relate to each other.

You probably actually didn't want me to fill you in, but I did it anyway. Have a good day.

I'm liking Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Star Driver, and Pokemon: Best Wishes! They're all not so bad~

And nice Elfen Lied theme :D I still see Lucy as blond-haired, but that's 'cause of Lucy from FT o3o

Why, what are you doing there? :3c

Me on P&SwG:
Not serious: THIS IS THE BEST SHOW. FLY AWAY FLY AWAY FLY AWAY FLY AWAY FLY AWAY FLY AWAY FLY AWAY FLY AWAY.
Serious: Eh, show's OK. Not as epic as I hoped, but still pretty funny. Props to Gainax for deviating from the usual cookie-cutter anime style.
