Aikatsu Friends 34
Garbage industry remains garbage, constantly imposing unreasonable deadlines on their workers on a moment's whim. At least Aine is capable of putting in the effort and getting good results, but those late night working hours cannot be good for her. I like how Mio clearly wanted to yell at Tamaki before getting interrupted. Some nice development on the designers, getting a better grasp on how adults handle it. Which in Noa's case apparently means having a nervous breakdown, then getting stress relief pudding.
Hugtto Precure 42
So, Precure is finally going there. Henri wanting to go out on the ice is poetic, so that's cool of him. And I do like Charaleet thanking Hana for not slicing him in half when she had the chance. The whims of fate are dicks however, not even letting Henri finish things on his own terms. Kind of dark for Precure. A moment of weakness has to hit even him now. But instead of making him a cheap villain, we get a much more satisfying moment out of all this. Precure has been building up to this for awhile, and KiraKira initially left me wanting Cure Waffle over his sister, but they haven't seriously gone through with it until now. It's a one-off and not fully featured with attacks and stuff, but he does have an outfit and name, and those are good steps. Next up will be having one as a full main character, but who knows when that'll happen. Until then we've got the conclusion for a good character and a surprisingly progressive stance for a little girl's show.
