The only Pretty Cure seasons that haven't been great have pushed the deviant agenda. Huggto Precure was all about transgenders. Kira Kira had the lesbian couple of Cure Macaron and Cure Chocola. And now Delicious Party Precure falls victim to the gay virus too, with the awful side character known as 'Rosemary,' hardly a boy's name. Is he gay? Is he transgender? Who knows, who really cares? In the end it's all the same. The old man acts like a giddy little girl, poses like a little girl, talks like a little girl, has the same interests as little girls, and is completely creepy and offputting.
He's one of the main characters of the series, you can't get away from him. He's always saying something in that shrill lilted voice which puts you on edge like nails on a chalkboard.
The remainder of Delicious Party Precure is still good, but the series can't seriously be called great with Rosemary taking such a central role and polluting everything every episode.
Now we have the pivotal third Precure's introduction, Ran. I was hoping she would be a great character based on her character design, but it turns out she's mediocre at best. She has this stupid verbal tic, 'Hanya,' which she says for no reason all the time. It doesn't mean anything, it's just a placeholder noise, and it makes her sound sub-sentient every time she uses it, which is like every other sentence. She's also overly loud and energetic, shouting and spinning and emoting over every little thing. It's over the top, even little kids display more self control.
I was silly enough to include Ran as one of the children in '100 Waifus,' but now that I know her better that's out the door. I replaced her with Ayumi, Cure Echo, voiced by the divine Mamiko Noto (Mavis' seiyuu), with a character design just as good or better than Cure Yum Yum's. Maybe next year when the new Pretty Cure season is released I can upgrade Ayumi to the protagonist of that new season, but for now Ayumi is the best Precure on offer to fill the hole.
Between Rosemary's all-consuming presence and the unimpressive entrance of Cure Yum Yum, I can't say Delicious Party Precure is a great anime anymore. Like Kira Kira and Huggto at best it will be counted among the ranks of my 'good' series. Sort of like Dragon Ball GT is counted as good instead of great when it comes to counting up how many great episodes of Dragon Ball there are. It's a shame because Yui, the protagonist, really is appealing. If she weren't weighed down by such worthless 'partners' this could have gone so much better.
I wish Japan weren't so corrupted by western influences that it would peddle gay characters in a children's show meant to shape the morals of little girls. This is exactly the kind of gay grooming that Russia and now Florida has banned. It's a shame to see Japan fall on the wrong side of this debate. Luckily, not all anime pushes this agenda. Spy x Family is a wonderful celebration of normal heterosexual family bonding. But it used to be no anime pushed this junk, and now you have to be careful because it's constantly added in for no reason. Like that tact.op destiny anime. It looked really promising and then, boom, a gay was introduced and I had to drop it. I wish all gays in anime were confined to their stupid boys-love romances so I could avoid them from the start. Those actually bother me less than the random insertion of pro-gay propaganda in magical girls' shows. It's like going to see a Rambo movie and being treated to a half hour long gay makeout scene because 'reasons.' This isn't what I'm here for. This isn't what any of the audience is here for. So why are you forcing us to watch it anyway?
