I think the thing that annoys me about the "Mikuru is Anna's mom" theories is people act like it's already part of the story where honestly the more we go on the less it seems to be hinting at it.

In the synopsis of tomorrow's episode, Jett says: "You two are destined...no, a miracle couple."

It's that "Kiseki no futari" line again. They say it in their transformation. I think it's supposed to be an important aspect of their characters.

Combine that with the lyrics in the OP and it does seem to be the theme of their story is "the fact that the two of them met is a miracle".

Which wouldn't make any damn sense if Mikuru is Anna's mom, they would see each other every day in Anna's time. Sure, Mikuru when she's Anna's age would be a little different, but she's still fundamentally the same person.

I really am starting to think it's that they're relatives who were separated at birth or something along those lines. Whether it was they were like twins and one got sent to another time to protect them or through Pochitan's magic or something, or maybe it's that Mikuru had a secret sister she never knew about, and that sister is Anna's mom. It would explain why they look so similar but have different VAs.

I just don't think these themes work with the "they're secretly mother and daughter" idea at all.

[degraphicsstudios]

As someone who is on board with the Mikuru is Anna’s Mom theory, I can understand why you’re frustrated.

I also know why that’s the case, aside from looks we don’t have anything to go off of. Sure, Jett has made comments on how similar the two are, but I am willing to admit that that is circumstantial. The fact of the matter is we don’t know enough about Anna’s Mom to know for certain.

Same applies to those think Mikuru is Anna’s aunt, we have no confirmation that Anna has an aunt or Mikuru has any siblings.

This being a kids show that airs over the course of a year however, I imagine that the writers are going to drag this out for a bit. I think the one thing that would settle this for good is we have an episode where Anna is really missing her Mom and the rest of the cast get her share some stories about her to make Anna feel better. This would reveal more information that could prove or disprove the theory. They could also reveal more subtle hints to have us piece it together before it’s confirmed. This is a mystery series after all.

All in all, I understand your annoyance, but we’ll just have to wait and see how things go for now.

I mean, that's the thing; the show so far hasn't wasted a lot of time with having the characters thinking things through and putting some things together. It's only episode 6 and the Detective Precure know who the villains' leader is, Anna has had her big outburst over her feelings of sheer loneliness of being trapped in the past, and the villains are now aware that she's travelled through time. It took Idol and Wonderful and Hirogaru Sky like 3/4 of their seasons to get that far.

It just doesn't really feel like a season where there's an obvious elephant in the room that Anna and Mikuru don't put together for most of the season because they just didn't consider it.

Really, if it is that obvious, it's going to make them look like really dumb detectives, which just doesn't feel right with how they've been presented so far.

[degraphicsstudios]

That’s understandable.

You know what would be funny?

If what Vector said happened between him and Vanilla really did happen and at the end of this series he gets a call from her inviting him out to bingo night.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

if the "Complaint" links are not visible for you:

Option 1: try the DuckDuckGo search engine instead (bonus: dedicated to privacy! doesn't track your data!)

Option 2: go directly to LumenDatabase.org (the website that collects the complaints--and therefore the removed links) and search for the title you want. look for results titled "DMCA (Copyright) Complaint to Google" featuring the media you're looking for. Proceed to Step 3 (above).

[awkwardinnocent]

personally, i'm a huge fan of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH. they keep their links up to date and they also rank them, basically. they also have all kinds of little pages explaining how to safely pirate shit.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

^^^^what they said. I'm surprised people are still reblogging this post now that google's flushed itself down the toilet. so here is your

2026 UPDATE:

just go to r/FreeMediaHeckYeah and r/Piracy. it's easier, more reliable, and will take care of all your piracy needs!

AFTER 10,000 YEARS

SIMULCASTING FOR KAMEN RIDER IS HERE

[degraphicsstudios]

While I’m just as excited as everyone else. I don’t think they specified it would be simulcasted. It’s still going to be broadcast outside of Japan but we still don’t know the details.

What I like about this comic is that it doesn’t “trivialize” mental health problems in and of themselves. It’s clear that the koala IS genuinely traumatized by what’s happened. But it does emphasize that the mental health problems are a symptom of some real tangible problem that needs to be dealt with immediately.

As of Jan 21st, 2025, a full copy of the constitution is no longer available on whitehouse.gov. I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that the biggest threat to authoritarianism and facism is a well educated and informed population. Inform yourself and fight.

a copy of the document can still be found on the archives website. I think now is probably a good time to read it if you haven't and download it, incase it is erased from here as well.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

ATTENTION: Usians on medicaid and/or food stamps

Trump is putting a freeze on most federal funding as of 5pm ET 1/27/25. Medicare and SSI are not supposed to be effected, but Medicaid and SNAP will almost surely be effected.

If you have any refills you can send in/pick up, please try to do so before 5pm et today. If you have any remaining SNAP funds for the rest on the month. i would consider using them as well before the deadline. We do not know how long the freeze will last. Please try to prepare so you hopefully dont run out of meds before it is resolved

[obedientlyviolentshepherd]

update: As of the 1pm press brief, the administration has clarified that Mediciad, SNAP, section 8, federal student loans and similar direct benefit programs not be affected

People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".
