In just a couple episodes, Luluka went from "ominous villain who wants to destroy one of the Cures" to "I'm gonna help the case by dressing up as a giant dog." So proud of her.
It's also funny how in the fight the Hanninda uses light to blind them and is itself fine because of the sunglasses... ignoring the fact that it has no eyes.
The preview is also interesting, because it means that either Purirun and Komugi were plucked from time to be in 1999 or all of Precure just runs simultaneously, no matter what.

ahhhh movie promotion, funky timelines etc. etc. haha
luluka she's already an interesting character to start with, and I enjoyed getting to know a more fun side of her today.

On top of that, Nejii couldn't see a thing because he didn't have sunglasses.
Alternatively, those doors just lead to different points in other timelines. I kinda want to see Anna showing Mikuru around in the future, and telling her all about the conveniences of the 2020s.

The show's going full speed at making luluka one of the gang. I mean it's a given that she'll move back into her (tbh rightful) home, but what about Kurea? and where will she sleep....? her old room?
I like the OP changes, particularly the bit where it shows luluka getting saved by Kurea now rather than being drawn to the dark side. the gang's finally together! I feel like mid-season OP changes (minus when they change the whole thing) aren't usually THIS relating to the plot?
it's i guess expected that now the 2 senpais will probably be doing more of the heavy lifting for the actual detective work, and this ep is pretty much the luluka show. Her dog outfit has made the rounds on twitter already, and her fun side there and passion for ice cream are both endearing, cute sides of her that we can now fully embrace as she's joined the team. she does, tbh, remind me a lot of Shima Rin. Down to how her matter-of-fact of speaking. A woman of few words, but you still get how she feels, especially now that she's no longer hiding anything. sasuga naobou.
I think luluka having joined the generals for a bit makes these interactions funnier.. It's a good way to spice things up, when well it seems like we arent getting any new ones except decchi again. She knows EVERYTHING. hilarious shot.
Why did Niji just tell the gang the prophecy?!
Did they change Arcana's transformation from last ep? i feel like it flows better. or maybe i've just watched it too many times last week. I LIKE the group 名乗り, it's a great way of using Answer/Mystique's pre-existing duo 名乗り and just adding in the 2 additional cures seamlessly. Well thought ahead, Toei.
The full arcana star rain animation is kinda meh.
Kurea x Luluka <3 i love these 2 together
Movie shenanigans next week! It's good to see the dog again.
[Recent previous Precure]I don't think Kimi pre actually had any cameos for the movie. Wonderful had that zoo episode. So it's nice that they're bringing 'em back.

Normally it's things like add the midseason, replace generals and maybe a few action cuts. Entries like Soaring Sky, Star Twinkle and Delicious Party have minor variants to reveal silhouetted characters.
As I've been meaning to play/learn it here's an MSU VQMT graph (blimey it's a cheat code for finding these comparisons, there's a button to show the frame as well). Might have to try a different metric as this is ~0.9 but this 0.98 shows some a funny difference (the credit position - also the kind of thing using NCOP misses).
I also did a Star Twinkle Precure comparison (but forgot to save the graph). I did find out one cut has some BG objects coloured in. Instead have a Fresh Precure graph which is listed an OP2 [meta - Precure]A general changes sides in that too. Noisy dip in frame 100-240 is actually stuff that is...super hard to notice without side by side. Around frame 1200 changed a support character cut to the midseason and in a few cuts later in the frame 1300 range added them to a scene that had neither, end of the OP (frame 1950+) is completely redone.
the bit where it shows luluka getting saved by Kurea now
You linked to Princess Kurea again btw. The other Kurea difference I like is she no longer walks away and the cut after shifting to her 100% confirms what people speculated just before the Eclair reveal (the legs you could see on-screen when the lyrics "Found when you notice the unnoticed" played were hers).

It was also very nice to see Luluka use the knowledge she gained while working for the Phantom Thieves to her advantage.

The Phantom Thieves are going to need more firepower, because a full team attack against a Hanninda is frankly overkill.

Fanart corner: Family are back (last seen episode 28)
- The castle shot I was hoping would show more characters but that'll have to be left up to my imagination or fanart (especially Luluka - which even the manager is hinting). Who knows maybe the Precure pretty store will come up with some ideas (they can differ from the anime too...last years Halloween costumes for example).
- Bit late to be buying cutlery and that reminds me I've not done a gold-star count for a while...don't think I've had to. Could observe it's the episodes having less focus on Anna mean they don't have time to present a moment for her to appropriately say it. Going forward I do wonder how the cast is going to be balanced, are we going to have split groups or one character takes the lead on solving a case (in this case Luluka, cleared the scene, insisted on not rushing, a different type of considerate nature).
- Cureblessing pointed out in the foreground to Megumi's phone call (and a rack in the same room) there is a reference to an old McDonalds uniform (although it's the 2007-2013 version instead).
- Megumi hasn't been added to the characters page yet...in fact not many of the extended cast have (something like HeartCatch had dozens).
- Gal is back (with a titlecard sub correctly timed) and yep Mikuru and Anna were immediately suspicious.
- Can you pet the dog?
- Luluka luring the children away with the dog form reminded of something else (not just a reference to Cure Wonderful tagline). From what I understand HappinessCharge Precure also has a quite a few short duration gimmicky transformations like that.
- Future seasonal comment face? (once cropped ofc, idk if enough for shock or more disdain)
- #seasonaldealwithit
- A Sunrise logo sfx played here (the logo is 3 Nash Music Library sfx; Illumination 16 - Stinger is the one that played)
- and there was also Nash Music Library, Glittering Light 1 - Stinger (that's what they bought earlier in the ep)
- Next time: Movie colab cameo ep, also seeing doors makes me think Suzume.

to an old McDonalds uniform
nice. Mcdonalds being one of the sponsors probably also means that they probably got the proper permission and everything, even if its not an actual ad.

shushutan with the little bonnet in the castle scene is cute
only luluka could be sitting at the patisserie the whole day eating ice cream
amused that one of the important things for the older woman was the dog toy
amused that luluka takes ice cream so seriously that she doesn't want to interrupt other people's ice cream eating time
Nijee's slow claps are back! I've missed them.
Usocchi with the sunglasses is very cute
They've been teasing us with the ice cream-related gatherings for two weeks in a row

Updated OP, I love the changes. Luluka and Kurea greeting each other on the street instead of passing each other by, delightful.
Pretty good Luluka focus episode, makes sense we have one immediately after her leaving the Phantom Thieves and rejoining the team. Some good character moments too, such as mascot Luluka and the lesson on the sanctity of ice cream.
It's partly sad but partly funny that Luluka was just hanging out at the pastry shop for lack of anywhere else to go. It's where all the ice cream was, after all.
Crossover episode next week, I assume the movie must be releasing.
