Most Precure rewatched:

Precure keeps getting longer and longer, so rewatching it keeps getting harder and harder.  But I mostly managed to do so today -- all that's left is a handful of Wonderful Precure eps, Max Heart and GoGo.  There's also the new Mirai Days and You and Idol Precure to worry about, but they'd have to first prove themselves to be great before rewatching them becomes a concern.  So I have either 2.2 seasons or 3.5 seasons to go (Mirai Days is shorter than regular Precure seasons).

Max Heart and GoGo aren't particularly good seasons of Precure, they basically used all their best ideas in their first iterations, Futari and Yes, so of course the second seasons of the same group of Precure would be worse.  So I can already say definitively that the best three seasons of Precure were Happiness Charge, Splash Star and Healin' Good, in that order.  After that is Doki Doki, and then a morass of about equal seasons:  Suite, Smile, Star, Wonderful, Yes and Mahoutsukai.  A tier down from those are Futari, Princess, Fresh and Tropical.  The worst was Heartcatch.

I wish there was a 'Precure Kai' that cut all repeat animations.  Even better would be an edit that cut all meaningless, episodic fights where no new skills were used by either the good guys or bad guys.  Then they could also cut all repeat gags or dumb side characters who exist solely for comic relief.  Next they could cut any 'inspiring speech' where a Precure says something that a previous Precure in any previous season has already said.  At the end of all that I think there would be a solid core of Precure about 1/3 as long as the existing series.  I'd happily rewatch that series again.  But it's going to be a long time before I want to rewatch the Precure I just rewatched again.  This took entirely too much time and effort.

The insane length of Precure is a blessing and a curse -- it's ranked #4 because it's so much longer than everybody else, but due to being so much longer actually watching it is the biggest chore in the world.  And it doesn't look like Precure is going anywhere, so that length is just going to keep growing from here.  At this rate 1/10 of my total ranked anime episodes will all be from Precure. . .

Meanwhile, Russia finally took Kurakhove, a town of only 19,000 people before the war began that somehow managed to occupy Russia's military for the last three months.  But a win is a win.

I also defeated somebody today -- the last level II Orb Boss, which was resistant to fire attacks, making it a real challenge for my fiery sextuplets.  I don't think a game called 'Heaven Burns Red' should have any fire resistant enemies, it's like false advertising. >.<.

The NFL Playoffs are set with lots of intriguing matches.  It's a shame the Bengals didn't make it -- they were much better at the end of the season than the beginning.  But the Broncos are looking pretty good too.  I think the Bills are going to win it all, but there are so many talented teams there's no telling how this will play out.

Biden giving Presidential Medals of Freedom to George Soros and Hillary Clinton is one of the most inverted and ironic things I've ever seen.  I hope these two old losers enjoy their earthly treasures now, because very soon now they'll be burning in Hell for eternity, and the taste of their current adulation will be like ashes in their ever-burning mouths.  Like Biden, the giver of these fake honors, these are two of the most evil people to have ever walked the Earth, so of course America honors them as two of the best people.  It's so rich how Satanic America always strives to be.  But they're both at death's door, all three of them are at death's door, wrinkled and worthless.  All three lost the election to Trump despite trying their best, despite trying to kill him twice, despite trying to jail him four times, despite trying to bankrupt him, despite trying to defame him, despite trying everything they could to get him.  In a few days Trump will be in power and they will be absolute nobodies.  Their medals will shine like pyrite on their sunken, sagging chests.  And then they will die and meet their Maker for the justice that was delayed far too long, but not denied.  Never denied.  Justice comes for us all.
