    The climactic fifth book of the Stormlight Archive Series by Brandon Sanderson has arrived, and we... we have thoughts. Quite a few of them! Join us as we discuss what worked, what didn't, which characters had the best stories, and ideas about what will happen in the future as the first arc of this series concludes. The episode was so long (there is a lot of book in this book, after all) we wanted to split it into two parts.

But more importantly, it's time to Salsa, baby! Moerumba is here! And he's going to show you a good time, señoritas! Then we also get an episode with sock puppets, a lame class representative, and bread in the shape of foxes and pandas. Happiness Charge The girls go to a festival that celebrates the time god fell in love with a girl- Blue WHAT DID YOU DO!?!? but they receive a bad fortune! and then Oresky shows up, he's here!! He's finally here! Just when all hope is lost, Cure Fortune appears to save the day and leave an onimous message for Megumi. Then, thinking they are too weak, the girls decide to take up karate. It's not enough to beat Oresky again and this time theyre saved by a new Cure, Cure Honey?? Who is she, and why is her song so great?!? Also, we meet some international cures and we ponder if they're respectful or not. Soaring Sky Bird Watch, 2023- where's the bird? But more importantly, WHO is bird? Oh, his name is Tsubasa and he's also a boy who can become a bird and a bird that can become a boy! He wants to fly but can't, so instead he's decided to study aerodynamics. When Kabaton attacks, the boy who is a bird who is also a boy must go to Elle's aid, and in doing so, the boy who is a bird who once was a boy also becomes a PreCure- Cure Wing to be exact.

They eventually make up and realize how much they rely on each other (while fighting a wedding cake. There's no potential symbollic meaning here, folks).

All Stars New Stage 3: Forever Friends An overprotective fairy mother decides to kidnap human children in order to help her child and for this reason the PreCure are called upon to go into the dream realm and save the children. We also get closure for Cure Echo, Gureru and Enen's sotry arcs (from the previous All Stars New Stage movies). We also get to see Nozomi as a teacher, Mana as prime minister, and several other characters as adults. Soaring Sky 6In what may be the most "These girls are married" episode yet, Mashiro goes to work/school, and Sora remains at the house to take care of the baby and do the chores. But Sora realizes- with some help from Ageha and make up that gives her some tropica-shiny courage- that she wants to always be with Mashiro and Sora agrees!

But then Kabaton summons an evil train, Ellee-chan gets a magic flying baby boat, and the pair unleash their new combo attack: ALIEN ABDUCTION and save the day.

Hime is sad for a bit, Megumi gets a costume change (complete with special abilities!), Megumi and Yuko separately cheer our girl up, and in the end they are victorious.

We're excited for where this season will go, and we love the matador-like cape!

We get two friends who had a fateful encounter 5 years ago and come together to save two very squishy fairies tormented by an evil plant man. Happiness Charge PreCure This season is an earlier anniversary season with a fairly head-empty pink lead and a somewhat cowardly blue cure (who we're fairly certain caused the apocalypse or set it into motion) with unique animation. Also the blue girl chooses her friend by chucking a stone, which has a 100% success rate. Probably.
