I’ve got a yearly channel tradition which, with the upload of this video, I’ve broken in two ways. At the end of every year, I usually upload a video, or series of videos, about my favorite anime I watched that year, regardless of whether that anime was from that year or not. In 2020, however, my consumption of Japanese cartoons slowed down, and much of what I did watch made its way into video form already, one way or the other. So just following that tradition would have led, I feel, to a very lackluster video. For reference, all I’d have to discuss is Weathering with You, Tokyo Godfathers, Aria the Animation, and, uh… I guess I could've dragged Danganronpa 3 through the dirt? I dunno. Anyway, since I can’t just do the same old thing this year, I figured instead I’d do something a bit more commonplace: running through a batch of my favorite media in general, and this time all actually from the same year! Or at least, made widely available therein. So that's what I did!

Star Twinkle Precure was a season with a lot of great ideas and stellar moments—and parallels with Star Trek, to boot. It also had some unfortunate low points. I talk about all that!

Up until now, I've mostly enjoyed these just as an outside observer, and I got to wondering: what's the appeal of this thing, anyhow? In order to find the answer to that question, I committed to playing through a Nuzlocke run of my own. This is that story.

Poll HAS CLOSED as of July 7th. The winner is OJAMAJO DOREMI. I admit, this has turned into an excuse for me to watch shows I can't otherwise get around to.
In which I try really hard to be positive about Mahoutsukai Precure before giving up and reluctantly detailing why I couldn't get as into it as I would've liked. Also, feet off the table.
Go! Princess Precure is the most raw fun Precure's been in a while. But it's got a lot going on under the surface beyond mere fun - so let's spend ~45 minutes talking about that!

Alien 9 is weird! I talk about a bit of ALL FOUR EPISODES. You should probably watch them before watching this video. Or not. Your choice.

Smile Precure is, uh, another season of Precure. That I watched. It's a bit of a fairy tale. I liked it. And that's the TL;DW; please don't click away.
Now I'm beyond the season I initially started this journey for, and boy howdy, Suite Precure sure is no Heartcatch. It's still got some interesting bits, though!
^i feel dirty for including those. like what's even the point we already have tags. sigh.

They're also getting remakes, but before that lovely nonsense rolls around, let's examine the originals, shall we?

I've been watching this bloody show for a year now, and only now have I actually watched the part I wanted to begin with, Heartcatch Precure. It was definitely worth it.
Fresh Precure. It's a show. This is a video about it. Yep.
Note: up until this point I've been referring to the girls in costume as "Precure," but technically they're all "Cures," so I'm sticking with that from now on.

An unscripted hour of me talking about all the embarrassing YouTube shenanigans I used to get up to. It's important to me that I made this video at all; I'm not sure anyone other than me will get anything out of it, but that's okay.
