Where I Watch Fresh Pretty Cure! Episode 20

[cypsiman2]

So, in addition to the new monsters taking their toll on Eas, we also see that the Precure team is also getting drained, affecting their day to day lives. There is also an element of social commentary to this, a criticism of the attitudes of not expressing one's worries to other people as most clearly expressed by Love's horror at almost telling "Setsuna" about her worries, and of not being upfront with the people you're worried about as seen with Tarte's lamentation over being unable to tell Love what he really thinks.

Plus, we see Eas's denial growing stronger and stronger, I look forward to seeing that come to a head and how she will emerge from that.

Also, the fight has a nice variation on the stock footage finisher with the team having to get really close and personal to make up the difference on their exhaustion, and then it ends with them collapsed in the middle of the street, ambulances on their way and everything! Holy crap, that was not something I expected at all, I can't think of another show like this where something like this happened. I am really eager to see what happens next.

Fresh is one of the more overlooked Precure series becasue it's considered light-hearted and silly. But I wonder if these people have even watched it. Fresh can be quite dark! This episode is a good example of that, and it's about to get darker, too!
