And so, another year of quality family entertainment comes to an end, Toei doesnt really miss here. As a mostly slice-of-life, lighter-than-average season, I think this season overall did well, and I had a fun time with the cast. The designs really grew on me, Kokoro's ahoge was brilliant, and the action overall was also fun; while I loved Wondercure, it's good to have it back, despite a bit much of stock-footage spamming towards the end. .

- My major criticism of the ending is that it shouldve been longer lol. The uta and co trapped in darkness idea was great. Shouldve lasted more than a minute. [The whole Darkness and Light coexist because of each other theme and messaging was awesome](https://imgur.com/vl2DAUQ) and mature, as well as being consistent with meroron's character-arc. Couldve used a bit more time (that precure always has lol theres a lot of SOL) to flesh out Darkine a bit more instead of revealing it all in the last ep. ah well not the first time precure has done that.

- [ZETTAI IDOL](https://imgur.com/WpBOCQM). I forgive all the overplayedness of uta's insert song because of how badass this is.

- [The main theme blaring as they start the final fight is badass af.](https://imgur.com/iI2Ctr6) The animation is awesome, as expected for a cure finale.

- [I like that the cure singers got a final shoutout.](https://imgur.com/6KKtdSq)

- [Did they literally make her as a detective after they decided the theming of next year's precure](https://imgur.com/kprZS4A)

- [Cure answer is cute](https://imgur.com/jSBEoBC), and her seiyuu (very fresh) is leaving a decent first impression. Looking forward to next week!

- I didn't really expect them to really commit to the fairies living long-term away from the cures. But it's good, and i do feel like everyone will be all right without them, they've grown and had a lot of memories together.

- Leading into the ED as the cures' final live is an *awesome* choice.

- [TIME SKIP YASSSSSS. Uta as an actual idol is awesome](https://imgur.com/2aoQAIo), though it's a shame that kokoro seems to be less involved in dancing.

- [Thank you Toei and Idol Precure for a fun time again this year!](https://imgur.com/2aoQAIo) See you all next week for some stellar detective work!

I'm not sure about that, when you consider \[Princession Orchestra\]>!the competition and what it did this week in response to the finale.!<

^(Trying to repost this with spoiler tags is not easy.)

>[The whole Darkness and Light coexist because of each other theme and messaging was awesome](https://imgur.com/vl2DAUQ) and mature,

Agreed. I'm also really happy that they went back to the roots, so to speak.

mrufrufin2026-01-25 03:37

interesting that there's no OP skip, can't remember the last there I've seen that for a last ep. i guess we did get an intro skip though. how will i know that it's showtime?!

the design of the giant scissors with the big blossom thing encased in crystal looks really cool

kinda was hoping for a symphonic rendition of uta's song but the uplifting orchestral music is fine too

glad to see kurikyuta back and i liked the look of determination on kyuutarou's face

kiss shock was cool as well as the cure kiss/zukyoon twin kick

idol fist touch with two fists, pretty good. and the animation definitely kicked up from there. cure wink's moves always look the coolest.

their group song was the season-end finisher? i think all their glowy symbols amassed was new?

darkine saying 'so this is kirakilala' is screenshot memeworthy

i like darkine's precure fairy design, especially her on that big throne

ahh, one last kenjiro tsuda kyuutarou bark

danmarce2026-01-25 04:08

I liked the ending. This one was good enough, and it had nice themes. Is sad we did not get the reunion between an older Uta and Kaito, he was really not properly used (either as a first love interest and as a Cure).

I really liked Uta.

PinkiePie___2026-01-25 04:15

Good but very rushed.

djthomp2026-01-25 05:48

Oh wow, crystal time for everyone but Uta, Darkine really did get them all at the end of the previous episode.

So the big bad is a bitter old lady who wants absolutely everybody to be quiet and preferably get off her lawn? I suppose it wouldn't be the end of a precure series if the world wasn't at risk.

Oh my god, Uta is finally singing more than just the very beginning of her song. It was such a surprise that all the crystals broke.

Kiss sets up a livestream of the fight instead of the heart garden one last time, much better.

Time to befriend Darkine by punching her a bunch, maybe some kicks and beam attacks too.

Everybody else is participating by cheering, I like it. Very thematically appropriate.

Darkine fairy! Fantastic, 10/10 reveal. And Chokkirine fairy too, excellent.

Fun hand off sequence, is the main for next season going to be more of a lavender than a purple?

Ending with the concert at last, not bad.

Oh wait, Uta stepping up to be the idol herself is even better. Also that wasn't too long of a farewell if the fairies are already back to watch her perform. Though Uta did maybe look a bit older, so perhaps it's been a few years.

Strong final episode.

RevolutionaryAerie282026-01-25 05:53

AWW Loved everything except if they are actually gonna do a time skip, why not have a Kaito and Uta reunion to kick start their romance finally. Missed oppurtunity there

Calwings2026-01-25 05:58

That was... fine, I guess. The ending felt way too rushed and not developed enough, which is honestly what I could say about a lot of this series. The only thing that actually felt really developed was unfortunately the thing that pissed me off the most about this series, and that was Meroron.

This wasn't exactly the worst Precure series I've watched (I'd at least still put it above Healin' Good and Delicious Party) but it wasn't great. The past several months of watching the much more enjoyable Princession Orchestra alongside it probably makes me think Idol Precure is worse than it actually was, but at the same time, it also opened my eyes to what Precure is sorely lacking. I'll give Star Detective Precure a fair chance when it starts next week, but I think if I also don't enjoy that one, I'm just done with the franchise for good.

mudanhonnyaku2026-01-25 17:23

Not every season is for everyone. I've watched most of the Precure seasons and this one didn't click with me either (Wonderful, on the other hand, became one of my all time favourites) I found You and Idol gratingly "kiddy" with each character's catchphrase, etc, in a way that Precure rarely is. Apparently that's just the writer's style.

Star Detective has the same writer as Maho Girls (which I find incredibly overrated) and Star Twinkle (which I enjoyed more) so my expectations are mixed. Murayama writing means we're probably breaking the het romance streak.

Calwings2026-01-25 17:43

I know not every season is for everyone, but I'm currently at 3 of the last 4 "not being for me" and the 4th one in that batch was just "good" and not exactly "great". I'm at the point where I'm starting to think the franchise isn't for me anymore rather than each series, and Star Detective is the franchise's last chance to keep my attention.

blukirbi2026-01-25 20:34

Healin' Good and Delicious Party were my least favorites too ... and both of them got affected negatively by problems out of their control.

I was initially not looking forward to "Star Detective", but after seeing some of the people involved, I'm considering on giving it a chance.

gantarat2026-01-25 07:18

Kaito should get more role throughout serie. It's clear that they want him to be a major character but he not appear much.

Flare_Knight2026-01-25 08:10

And finally it ends. Man Darkiine...I can't even say she's a poor man's Queen Beryl. Because she's barely a character! Her goal is a realm of stillness and silence. So of course...she's got to monologue! And yes her grand motivation...is that she was annoyed. Just get some earplugs you drama queen!

Pretty on brand for this season that Uta is the only one that can get out of that crystal on her own. Kind of says a lot for how poor the character arcs for the rest of the Cures were that they didn't have anything to give them the will to escape themselves. Could've easily had them break free, join Uta, and help the citizens escape. That I admit is nitpicking. But it would've been better.

At least was fairly entertaining. There was some flash, some shots fired, and they definitely brought the visuals for those facial closeups at the very end. I can't say the fight was a bad one. Wasn't a great one, but it wasn't bad.

As for the epilogue...meh. Uta is probably the only character with a truly good arc. Purirun and Meroron going home to be idol precure there is...fine. I think Purirun kind of suffered a lack of an arc compared to where she was early in the show. But Meroron turned out alright. Uta got what she wanted. She became a professional singer and is doing her thing. Nana...eh. I mean she's involved with music and it's fine. I don't think she ever showed a focus on writing music. But she didn't have much to work with so that's fine.

Kokoro...couldn't they just rewatch the first dozen episodes to figure out what to do with her!? An influencer? That's the best they could come up with? Well I guess since she didn't have an arc...that's about it. Would've been fine if they went lazier and just had her swing back to becoming a dancer. Or if they'd actually given her a good arc...maybe she becomes an idol? Uta going a different musical route. And thus the time they did spend with Kyun Kyun awkwardly figuring out how to do the idol stuff would've paid off. But nope...influencer. Sure.

So about the show overall.

This show had a lot of potential. Started off pretty well. I'd say up to Kokoro's birthday episode it was looking good. I'd say the lead-into Zukyoon and Kiss was also ok. There was potential with them getting powers through sacrifice and what the story could do with that. Sadly they didn't really do anything good with that. But it had a chance.

But it just kind of fell off. They utterly forgot to actually continue or finish Kokoro's character arc. Didn't really explore idols beyond a surface level. Heart Garden was a really lazy way to not have to care about fight locations or tactics. The villain...was barely a concept. And really the only character they cared to actually do anything with was Uta.

Sadly the best I can give it is a 5.5/10.

Williukea2026-01-25 12:53

Wish the epilogue timneskip was longer and we saw adult Purin and Melon. Also we didn't have a final attack, just the same kirakkiran for you as usual

Nickthenuker2026-01-25 13:47

And so into the finale.

Uh oh.

So, she's threatening her friends.

And so she managed to free her friends.

Of course it's that song.

Right. Everyone is back.

... Explain?

Right. This again.

And so, with their powers combined, they managed to defeat her.

Oh, she's one of those things, same as the others.

Gee I wonder what happened to them...

Oh, Chokkirine is back too!

Who's that cameo?

Oh, they're leaving?

Fair enough their work here is done.

Huh. Kaito's leaving?

Well, she's here to see him off at least.

Headpats for Uta!

Well, that's a bit of a bummer ending on that front.

And so it's the crucial moment, waiting backstage for their cue to go on stage and perform. And even if Uta is (understandably) perhaps not in the best of moods what with recent events, she's got to slap on a smile and go on.

That's quite the sad ending tbh.

Wait what they're back?

Huh. Uta went and turned that into a solo career? I'm surprised the 3 of them didn't continue to stick together. I guess Kokoro had enough of performing and Nana wanted to go back to composing.

So, there's the cameo. Not sure _which_ Precure show her and her companion are from.

Overall, it's a Sunday Morning Anime, good enough to watch weekly but nothing really memorable. Of course it also has the misfortune of airing at the same time as Princess-Session Orchestra, which actually has music in the combat, and not just _the same few songs every goddamn week for a year_. 6/10.

- [There's always one in concerts that doesn't have the penlight on the right colour](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/cd33ebe5ea73.jpg) (IIRC they were the duo MOTW with the guy who kept putting the chain locks as a symbol of love but the GF thought it was symbol of doubt)

Nobody likes to hear negativity in the ep discussions so maybe I should just leave my review as [Darkine's face](https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/7cb05be63ded.jpg).

But I can't help myself. Utterly baffling. Pedigree of staff behind it are capable of more ambitious things. I did read something about how it was planned to be more idol like and that got shot down so maybe that blew the wind out of the sails completely. Show is not helped by feeling like it is afraid of its own shadow with how compartmentalised insert songs were. An aspect not helped by Princession Orchestra coming out and embracing insert songs into its combat DNA (unique performances too, while that show has development issues with the main cast too it does a good job with side characters and the main plot offers a lot of intrigue).

Hopefully see you before next week because the You and Idol Precure movie [home release is on the 28th](https://2025.precure-movie.com/news/?p=897) (I wouldn't bet on the cast audio commentary being fansubbed).

blukirbi2026-01-25 20:39

Ah yes, this season. It's not my favorite, but it's definitely not my least favorite either (I rank it above Healin' Good, Delicious Party, and Soaring Sky).

Like what a lot of people are saying here, I feel like the finale was definitely rushed. They made aspects of the final battle a lot quicker than they should've been, and I really enjoyed the previous episode more in terms of actual battling. I also wish the Cures had a different "Final Attack" as opposed to just using their Kiraran For You against Darkine (at least there was a bit more fight in it).

The time skip was cool and I also really liked how they had Uta mirror Cure Idol's walk and dialogue at the VERY beginning of the season. However I was a bit disappointed that they could only do so much with that limited time, and that Kokoro chose to be an influencer instead of pursuing with her dancing.

Brave-Assist-67602026-01-26 05:54

I really like it , thankyou you all the staff members and franchise for making such a wonderful anime i really liked it really grateful you guys are great!

OrangeBanana382026-01-26 06:29
