Even for Precure, this is a really weird premise. Is the theme "motherhood" or something? That would be really strange. Running out of themes to use, it seems...

It looks like they borrowed parts of Yes! Precure 5 and Mahou Tsukai as well, with the mascot that transforms into a hot guy and the whole "taking care of a baby" thing. At least the baby's cute.

This is, I think the 4th time we've had a baby in Precure: Fresh, DokiDoki, Mahou and now this. It's not a bad idea, just have to execute it right. I just want a little bit of cqc once in a while. The battles in Kira are boring.

Eh, the magical girls taking care of a baby thing was done way back in Ojamajo Doremi Sharp in 2000 too. (And I'm sure there's probably something that had it before then.) Nothing new under the sun. *-shrug-* It's all just to sell different kind of toys. 'Cause babies mean accessories. Lots, and lots, of accessories.

Because she is Cheerleader themed, which is sometimes also called a "Yell Squad".

This franchise really isn't a fan of green, is it. It'd be nice to have another Green Cure one of these years. Maybe whoever shows up partway through this season, though odds are they'll be red or purple again.

"You can do anything! You can be anything! Embrace a shining future!"
I might not always believe in myself, but at least the Precures do! Laughing

Meh on the baby, but I do like the looks and sounds of Cure Ange and Cure Étoile. I'm going to wait on staff information before deciding whether or not I'm game.

The theme seems to be about making the future something to look forward to. Sort of like Go! Princess' dreams concept.

YES! Thank you, staff. I'm also really digging the designs. So we have a cheerleader, a nurse, and an ice skater?

Hmm. "Yell" does fit the cheerleader aspect, but "Aile" ("wing" in French) fits with the other two names better ("star" and "angel").
