Healin' Good Precure Ep 19 Review: Cure Earth Descends from the Wind! Part 1

Hi, Everyone! This is Episode 19 of Healin' Good Precure and here are my thoughts of this episode! 

Before we begin, my thoughts on Episode 18 was that it was more of character development between Hinata and Nyantoran who has a crush on one Miss Orie who owned an aromatherapy shop. Even though the girls tried to help Nyantoran in getting Miss Orie to expressing his feelings, it was disappointing and hilarious that Miss Orie has a boyfriend who just arrived to prosper to her and it broke Nyantoran's heart like Yabuki Joe from Ashita no Joe. (Which explained the parody) But not until the end of the episode when Latte suddenly had a bad cold and the girls rushed to Hinata's family veterinarian clinic...

This episode is all about Latte's anxiety as she felt that she is not helping the girls in their battle against the Megabyogen. But the girls didn't mind and they were grateful for her assistance in finding the corruption when it happened. Latte also recalled what her mother, Queen Teatine told her that, one must be strong to protect the Earth which is exactly what happened when Batetemoda corrupted the Wind Element Spirit and infected a whole mountain. 

The girls got captured while fighting the Megabyogen and Latte, despite her weakened state tried to fight the Megabyogen but was thrown around like a ragdoll and was about to killed by Batetemoda when Queen Teatine who could sense her daughter in danger begged the Earth to help her which the statue of her former partner rushed to save Latte!

That new person is Cure Earth and she makes quick work of the Megabyogen for the girls to finish it off. After the battle, Cure Earth revert to her human identity of Furin Asumi and create a Wind Element bottle to heal Latte and the girls began to question who she really is...

Cure Earth's debut was long overdue since she was already featured in social media as the 4th member of the team. So far my impression is a cool and tough Cure Moonlight with her more mature demeanour compared to the other three girls. She even fought with her fists and legs which I am questioning why Team Healin' isn't using more physical combat since holding the Cure Stick on one hand isn't really helping much in the combat department. 

Although I have a feeling that Cure Earth might be a stick in the mud as she felt that the girls are not strong enough to her standards and Cure Earth will tell them that she could handle the upcoming battles on her own (which will definitely backfire) Plus being someone that belongs in the past, Asumi might get a cultural shock since the world has moved on without her and might be mocked as a relic or dinosaur by others.

But since this is part 1, we have to see what Cure Earth has in store for the girls as she decided that Latte should be in a safe place but from the preview of the next episode, Latte will convince her that she wants to fight beside her and they will form a new partnership together! Until then, stay safe and see you in the next post!

Healin' Good Precure Ep 17 Review: A Little Girl's Problem!

Hi everyone! This is Episode 17 of Healin' Good Precure and here is my review of this episode!

Chiyu learns from her parents that the Inn will be busy this weekend and volunteered to help together with her younger brother, Toji.

As the guests started coming into the Inn, Chiyu was capable of helping in the chores and even Pegitan secretly help up in cleaning the Inn floor and springs. It is here we learn that Chiyu's grandmother was able to remember her regular guests' accommodation and Chiyu realised she is nowhere as good like her grandmother or even her mother who was able to converse in English to a Foreign family of three.

Their daughter, Emily felt uncomfortable at the Inn and Chiyu later learn from her parents that they are planning to move to Japan and Emily was upset about moving to a new country. Chiyu tried her best to make Emily and her family comfortable in their stay and even took them to town which Emily tried to deny enjoying here. 

Of course, Chiyu didn't know that until she talked to Nodoka and Hinata about it. Nodoka took her to the beach which is her favourite place and Chiyu realised that Emily was just shy in making new friends and decided to take her to the playground the next day. 

Shindoine was at the playground and corrupted a Rain Element Spirt into a Megabyogen. The girls learn about it from a weaken Latten and went to battle. The Megabyogen almost destroyed the playground but the girls joined forces and quickly make short work of the Megabyogen. The girls were also given a new Rain Element bottle from the Element Spirit for their purification.

The next day, Chiyu and Toji brought Emily to the park and soon she was making friends with the local kids and even thanked Chiyu when she finally left with her family. Chiyu also realised that handling the Inn is no easy matter but she enjoyed making her guests happy in their stay...

So Chiyu's grandmother is the real Honcho of the Inn and she was able to make the necessary arrangements for her regular guests that Chiyu was impressed about it. Furthermore, her mother is also started learning English and was able to welcome Emily and her family. 

Emily herself is like most people who are worried about moving to a new place and whether are they able to fit it. Since their town is one of the nicest places around, Emily was able to enjoy her stay thanks to Chiyu's hospitality and her quick thoughts of making her guests happy. (Chiyu should start thinking of going to the Service line since that's her strength)

Other than getting the Rain Element Bottle, there isn't anything much to say about this episode as it felt like a standalone episode. Next episode, Nyantoran has a crush on one Miss Orie and the girls decided to help him! Until then, stay safe and see you in the next post!

Healin' Good Precure Ep 16 Review: Oath of Friendship!

Hi everyone! This is Episode 16 of Healin' Good Precure and here are my thoughts of this episode!

To be honest, this episode is more of healing the friendship of three elderly people that the girls are encountered with. After learning that a special tree which supposedly grants eternity to anyone who oaths under it, was damaged during a storm, the girls met an old man, Tatsuya who has some grieves over the tree and claimed that nothing last forever.

The girls learned from the Element spirit in the tree that Tatsuya and two more friends, Fumi and Hideo pledged to be friends forever under the tree years ago. But something happened that caused Tatsuya to be bitter about it. Nodoka being the nice (and busybody) girl she was, decided to investigate and soon learn that Fumi and Hideo got married and Tatsuya felt betrayed.

Ojamjo Doremi appeared as a Movie Poster!

Nodoka was more determined to "heal" their friendship and organised a small festival around the tree hoping it will attract the three people again. But Batetemoda corrupted the Element spirit into a Megabyogen and somehow, Tatsuya reunited with Fumi and Hideo again during the chaos.

After the girls defeated the Megabyogen, they were shocked that the Element spirt did not answer them, however, a small spout came out of the tree. which signified that the tree will grow again. Tatsuya also makes peace with his friends and invited the girls to the cafe...

Nodoka is a kind girl which I understand that she meant well since this season is not just about caring for the environment but also to heal misunderstandings and lost friendships. If Nodoka didn't follow up then there won't be any story for this episode and Batetmoda won't have corrupted the Element spirit that somehow makes amends for Tatsuya and his friends. 

Speaking of Batetemoda, he was really obnoxious in this episode with his constant of rapping throughout (which I hope that he get destroyed or reverted back to his animal form soon) and the other generals are starting to get annoyed by his antics. 

Overall, it is not a bad episode but it doesn't really develop much in the main plot since this episode was supposed to come out two months ago. (Actually, all these new episodes are definitely felt like filler before we get to Cure Earth's Arc) 

Next episode, it seems the busiest time for Chiyu's Family Inn and she seems determined to learn the ropes of the family business. Until then, stay safe and see you in the next episode!

Healin' Good Precure Ep 15 Review: Nodoka and Rabirin's Big Fight!

Hi everyone! This is Episode 15 of Healin' Good Precure and looking at today's title, you know it is about Nodoka and Rabirin! Since most of you have watched this episode already, (Thanks to Crunchyroll) I will just give my thoughts about the overall episode.

When Rabirin secretly wanted to get a doll mascot (which happen to be a real doll being sold now in Japan) and not letting the other two Healing animals know about it, she asked Nodoka for help and the two managed to get the doll after visiting the lavender cafe that was promoting it. (Six times!) 

But when the two of them meet Hinata and Nyatoran, Rabirin tried to be a jerk and throw aside the doll in order not to get tease by Nyatoran which upset Nodoka and the two got into a fight. The truth is Rabirin was afraid of being teased at and Nodoka thought Rabirin was making a fool out of her. 

When Latte is Angry, you better obey her!

It was not until Dairuzen corrupted the Leaf Element Spirit into a Megabyogen that the two of them realised how serious the situation when they couldn't transform. Latte despite her weaken by the Megabyogen immediately demanded the two of them to makeup and the two finally apologise and became stronger as Cure Grace. It also showed that Latte is not as naive as she looked to be as she is able to understand the feelings among her comrades and what is important at stake.

Speaking of Dairuzen, despite his slack behaviour, Batetemoda's attempts to win him over failed which he probably knew that Batetemoda has his own agenda to become top dog. 

In the end, they both got a doll each.

Nodoka and Rabirin also had a better understanding of each other and it is okay to have small squabbles now and then as sometimes we take for granted among friends and families of how they feel. The most important is not having arguments but rather on how to resolve and understand each other better.  

In the next episode, the girls learn about a mysterious tree in their town and a secret that an old man is holding on to. Until then, stay safe and see you in the next post!
