Watched the end of Pretear. ::yawn:: I saw most of it coming. Actually, I saw about 97% of it coming.

Why? Cause I've already seen, you know, all FIVE seasons of Sailor Moon. And Pretear is just a SM imitation. I can see how you might like it if it's the first magical-girl SM rip-off anime you've seen, but it's old news to me, and not that good even if you ignore the rip-off factor. After so long watching SM, I don't want more SM wannabe stuff. I need my new magical-girl anime to be weird, intelligent, and original. Like Princess Tutu.


Oh, shit! I missed the Kentucky Derby cause I was watching episode 13. ::kicks desk::

Pretear's concluding metaphor of "Save the world through MASTURBATION!" amuses me greatly.

You mean the fact that she became Pretear by herself? :D I hadn't looked at it that way.

OH YEAH. "Boys are nice and all, but if you want to really get the job done? The power is YOURS, sister."

What made me happy about spending the time watching Pretear was that the copy I had was BAD HK sub. So all the guys had names like "Sally" and "Anna." It was entertaining. ^-^

what was Hayate's name?

I think he was "Sarah" but I'd have to get the tapes out and look again. O_o

I know exactly how you feel. I had the same experience with season three Angel.

I got about halfway through the first volume of Pretear, lost interest real quick.

I stuck with it even though I didn't like even the first episode (I thought it looked sheap and stupid and a SM rip-off, an opinion that hasn't changed throughout), because people told me it was worth watching all the way through, and that the end was good.

The ending is not any better-- it's the same as the rest of it. And there isn't one aspect, event, character, theme, or visual device used that I couldn't name a Sailor Moon episode having already done. Multiple times.
