Tropical-Rouge! Precure

It's an exciting day for fashionable teenager Manatsu Natsumi, who is moving into the big city for the first time. Upon arriving, Manatsu is immediately charmed by the city's spectacles. However, things take an unbelievable turn when she encounters Laura—a real-life mermaid!

Laura is searching for the Precure, a group of radiant warriors who may have the key to rescuing Grand Ocean, Laura's home. This duty soon falls upon Manatsu, whose unwavering determination causes her to awaken as one of the Precure: the vivid Cure Summer. As new friends join the team, Manatsu needs to adapt to her hectic, new life while protecting humanity's liveliness from oceanic invaders! With each battle more difficult than the last, the girls must discover what is truly valuable to them.

So, apparently they truly did a Super Sentai/Kamen Rider season based on a Disney Princess theme and I had no idea! And for that I mean this season, which you can think as an animated equivalent of a Kamen Rider/Super Sentai based around Disney's The Little mermaid (I know the japanese like mermaids, but I like to think it that way). It's a very fun show that with its more comedic and lighthearted approach reminded me of Mahou Tsukai Sally, the first Majokko ever, just with the added bonus of seeing gorgeous women (who, like other women from the shows of this IP I've seen ... so far, I consider my own waifus) performing the moves I like of the tokusatsus I love. As usual for the Pretty Cures, there's also stuff reminescent of Sailor Moon (both the series and the movies), which is a nice touch and, like the criminally underrated Delicious Party Precure (Underrated in the scores of rating sites and not in terms of people producing fanart out of it, which is the REAL way to judge the popularity of something IMHO) and Star Twinkle Precure, there are NO MARY SUES WHATSOEVER IN SIGHT, which again poses the question why Jin Tanaka and Junko Komura (the last dreadful episode from that series I watched was from hers) in the horrible beyond reasonable Go Princess Precure (thank you for keeping me away for an entire year away from the IP, you two!) felt the need to make of all the cures Ultra-Boring Mary Sues of the worst spieces. But hey, I guess I'll never know like I'll probably never watch Heartcatch thanks to the horrible (the only really awful episode of the lot here) episode 33 where the cures of that show appear in the glory of all their awful and un-sexy design (I can't believe it's from the same guy who did the chara of Ojamajo Doremi!), episode that reminded me of the equally pointless anniversary episode in the otherwise good Kamen Rider W (Naruhisa Arakawa permitted).
Watch this and enjoy it plenty! As a side note, for the tokusatsu fans, towards the end there's also stuff reminescent of Seinun Kamen Machineman, which is really welcomed

Mixed Feelings

Tropical-Rouge PreCure is a good time if you're looking for a chill magical girl anime that doesn't take itself too seriously. However, it doesn't measure up to other PreCure seasons in terms of plot and character development.
I didn't expect much going into the series, so I was surprised by the bits of lore and ideas that could have been great if developed properly. Unfortunately, the ocean theme of the show is highly underutilized. Watching the girls try various things is fun but plot-related episodes are scarce. The monsters are quite weak and on the occasions that they are strong, the characters get magically saved.
The girls ... are usually all together and their friendship is well-established, but there is a lack of character focused episodes. They have some unique traits and battle techniques, though. While I enjoyed the villains' family dynamic, they don't really challenge the heroines in any way since their whole shtick is being unmotivated.
Overall, Tropical-Rouge is enjoyable when it comes to slice-of-life, but not so much when it comes to magical battles. I wish it had done more with its themes of the ocean and motivation, but it works quite well as a comfort show.

First off, I would like to say that many people are hyping this season which did not live up to my expectations while watching it. I actually do like the Precure designs. To start, for me, it’s somewhat of a boring season due to the more of lighthearted tone and not a serious one. I know that this is supposed to be a fun season for a pandemic but it wasn’t that interesting. The villains of this season are not that threatening. However, I do think that the first 5 episodes were decent and the fight scenes were done alright and the rest are either ... boring episodes and perhaps, short or even no fight scenes at all. There is one later episode that has some nice animation fight scenes but the art-style suffer a little. The final battle is questionable since the fight scene animation scene is decent but the overall combat scene were fairly short. Also, the later half of the story took for a downfall. This season wasn’t really constructed that well or actually prepared for a decent storytelling near the end. Although, near the end of the series, the other main characters does get their own final development arc which is done decently. Wish they get more developments throughout the series, though. Many people noticed that the spotlight or well developed has been shine upon one of the characters which is definitely true. Overall, it’s not a really great season for me at least but the older seasons such as Smile Precure is recommended. However, feel free to this show to see if it fits your taste. Also, apparently this season did not do well in terms of Japan toy selling rating for some reasons which are either the pandemic or many people in Japan were having similar issues with this season.
