Last year one of the magical girl anime I looked at was Futari wa Precure, the first in Toei Animation's long-running Precure franchise. It was a strong start with endearing characters, a lot of good moments and strong, surprisingly physical fight scenes. Unlike many magical girl works, Precure believes in having their characters kick and punch instead of just tossing out stock animation special attacks. It also had a pretty strong ending that wrapped everything up. Futari wa Precure Max Heart is a direct sequel with the same characters, one of the only series of its like in Which makes today's material a little odd. So, do they have something interesting for Honoka & Nagisa to do?Īfter the events of the first series, Honoka and Nagisa have entered High School. It's t this point where Honoka notices some feelings starting to well up, but she's afraid to act on them since Nagisa hasn't shown interest in girls like that. Thus begins their sweet and sublime love story. The actual story takes place with the two of them in their last year of junior high. They're living normal lives in the wake of the Dark King's defeat. Unbeknownst to them, the Queen was critically wounded during their battle. She loses her cohesion, splitting into her life, her heart and her wills which take the form of tiny fairies called Heartiels. To make matters worse, the two heroines find themselves under attack by a new band of villains, Shampoo Advert, Moustache, Chin & Female. This time around they also have help, in the form of Shiny Luminous, Mai. In that fashion, Honoka, Nagisa & Saki find themselves in a race against time to find all the aspects of the Queen before their antagonistic foursome can bring back the Dark King. Let's start by looking at the big issue with the series as a whole. There's way too much of a focus on Nozomi and Pollun. He's as obnoxious as he was in the last series, except now there's a lot more of him, and she's just boring. Consequently, all of the emphasis on the two of them is tedious at best. Aside from that, the series just feels pointless. They're back to fight the same big bad with the same major attack, except powered up while working towards gathering the pieces they need to get the same resolution. On the positive side, there are still some strong moments, particularly when Urara stays on the sidelines and lets Nagisa & Honoka do their thing, and there are still some remnants of the good humour and generally entertaining moments that made the first series work. #Futari wa pretty cure max heart episode 1 english dub series #Futari wa pretty cure max heart episode 1 english dub tv.#Futari wa pretty cure max heart episode 1 english dub series.
