GO PRINCESS PRECURE EP 2: COBALT EYES

How do I even begin to explain Minami Kaido?

Minami Kaido is flawless.
Even though she loves to admit that she's not perfect at all.
She is an excellent student, archer, and horsewoman.

I hear her hair and eyes are ensured for three million yen.
I hear she does ballet... while speaking French.

She's taken in a disciple: the only one who dared to come near her.

One time, Haruka Haruno was late for school. And the headmistress scolded her.

That day, Minami defended Haruka, tended to her injuries, and even saved her life! 
IT WAS AWESOME!

With trusted courtiers like Ayaka Nishimine (blond) and Seira Azuma (auburn), both members of her small council... who needs enemies?  

So it came as no surprise that this episode had the class president discovering her powers, aside from the audience getting to know about her prowess combined with kindness and humility: qualities that, together, make a born leader.  

 

 

 

Dreaming...

  

  We also got to know that Prince Kanata disappeared during the Dysdark invasion of Hope Kingdom

(this reminds me of Marie-Anne/Marie-Ange in DokiDoki... is his soul also split in a dark self and a light self? The mystery attracts me, and I hope I find clues just like in DokiDoki!)

Kanata instructing the fairy pets to find the Cures before his disappearance...

 The general of the week was our old friend Close, while the victim of the week was the footie captain of Noble Academy, his dream that of winning many a football cup:

Before and after having his dream Closed.

The coda didn't leave me indifferent, with a cliffhanger in which Puff and Aroma realize that the third transformation perfume is missing... but it won't appear until Episode Four, in which we'll get to know violet-eyed top model Kirara a little better, and she will find her key (I have the premonition that it will fall from the sky to her, like a shooting star.)

The next episode will be mostly pet-centric, with Minami and Haruka trying to find a loophole in the no-pet rules of the boarding school when their alleged ownership of a cockatoo and a spaniel, which have become increasingly popular among the students, is made known...
and it will also be the first episode when someone has his or her dream Shut. We'll also get to hear Shut's voice and discover if this Dysdark general is male or female...

The mystery of Shut will soon be revealed!
