Honestly a 5 year old age gap is okay IF YOUR AN ADULT but 12 and 17 is crazy bro 😭
You mean 18
THANK YOU!!!! I remember watching this series being like ‘this is a weird ass height difference’ then the ages came in and i was like ‘oh- 😧 maybe this is a one sided thing 😓😓??’ then the beach episode came in and i was like ‘😰😰 no amount of lore is worth this oMG- 😨😨’
@@AkuriShinsou ITS REALLY CRAZY THAT THIS IS A CHILD’S SHOW 😭😭👆
@@Taylorvirtuosoits still not any better
Honestly, if would be as bad if it was like Tsubasa & Ageha's case were they are drawn similarly taller, but is EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE that despite Ari's age is 12 she's drawn almost like a baby & Chess having 17 is drawn like he is on his 30, specially for their inmense size difference
Honestly blond girl's character ark seems like a really neat idea - someone who doesn't realize just how much harm she's causing to others in the long run (cus she's just a kid) learning to be better and becoming a part of the squad by the end. It's pretty standard but it could work and teach kids that being mean deeply hurts others. Of course the show didn't do it well but still. XD
i guessed 7, 19, and 27 years old.
I never ship Ahri with Chess because Chess is almost adult. It make me uncomfortable seeing that. I just prefer if Chess is an teacher/mentor with Ahri. Kind of abit weird that Trump is 13 year old despite he look like a adult.
Exactly tbh i don’t understand why people do that and then they gone make suha have a crush on chess in season 2
From Sapphire-
I remember watching the series and being so confused. "Why does Chess like Ahri??? I thought she was in 5th grade! What's wrong with this show😭" when i saw he's actually 17, i got the schock of my life. And Trump is 13? Why does he look so old?😫
Like compare trump with everyone else plus that would probably make him super young when he was with chess while playing with each other so it really doesn’t make since they basically already ruined it with ages might as well make trump the same age

I must know how deep this dumpster fire is.
I’ll visit season two before too long!
The transformation scenes are really beautiful though.
I KNOW I'M REALLY LATE, BUT THE SINGER GIRL WHO GOT ABUSED WAS A RECOLOR NICO YAZAWA FROM LOVE LIVE IN HER REHERSAL OUTFIT WITH GREEN HAIR AND PURPLE EYES! 😭
Oh my God! you’re so right how did I not catch that before?
@@bubblingmoon It took me a while to notice too lol
I don’t think Flowering Heart's magic system is based on Sailor Moon's disguise pen. It reminds me more of what a lot of 80s/early 90s magical girl anime did, especially Minky Momo. In fact I'm pretty sure their plot was heavily inspired by Minky Momo and Magical Angel Sweet Mint considering they also have plot lines that revolve around the protagonist being tasked with collecting the dreams/hopes of humans for one reason or another. Also, I wouldn’t hold the lack of fight scenes against the show since its clearly not meant to be action oriented like most modern magical girls tend to be. And to be perfectly honest, if this show can't make the girls being able to transform into adults with any job imaginable fun, fight scenes wouldn't be able to salvage it at all. There are magical girl anime that aren't action oriented, even if they're not as common as they used to be. And fight scenes aren't the only way to make magical girl anime worth watching or have stakes. Also this is a personal thing, but I hate it when people are so quick to call other magical girls, especially ones they don't like, Sailor Moon knock offs. It feels like people's knowledge of retro magical anime ends at Sailor Moon and a lot of the time, the reasons are just staples of the magical girl genre to begin with and don't necessarily make it a ripoff. I think Noralites said it best and they said that when works fit into certain genres, they are bound to have similarities with other works that also fit said genre. Anyways, that's all I have to say. I don’t like Flowering Heart and this review is solid. But some of your points do feel nitpicky and other points could've benefited from having more knowledge about magical girl anime.
agh i have such fond memories of watching this show as a kid 😢
all i remembered was there was a cute pink girl as the lead who did magic with her friends, completely forgot about the love triangle
Oh a fellow Pretty Cure fan I see 💖
i love this
This was hilarious 😭 can't wait for season 2 LMAO
I’m glad you enjoyed it!😄
I had the misfortune of remembering this show existed and now I'm watching through the first season to make a video on it, it was honestly worrying reading the comments on their videos and I'm really glad someone else is discussing this
I’m glad I won’t be the only one making a video about this train wreck!
she's supposed to be 12?? I thought she looked like... 8 at most what. how is there such a visible difference between the 12yo and the supposed 13yo huh ??
nope. just no. if you're a kid the most age gap is 1 year, and even then it can be dubious depending on how young of a kid. like as a what... 4yo? I had a crush on this 5/6yo ? specifically because he was older and cooler and unachievable!
no older one in a situation where a teenager has a crush on them with such a big gap would in their right mind ok that. I also had crushes on people who were late teens or early 20s throughout my early teens, and I knew it would not be ok for those crushes to reciprocate.
Why is it still SUCH AN ISSUE with animated shows that the characters are drawn so weirdly unlike their actual ages?? The age gap is one thing, but yeah her looking 5 years old with the love interests looking more like they're 17 and 30 just makes it worse.
Help Ari looks 5-
Ari:5
Chess:20
Trump:18
💙 (Sky Dancers is my pick.) I actually have two magical girl recommendations. One is called Princess Guinevere and the Jewel Riders and the other is Jem and the Holograms I watched both on TH-cam and they were really fun. Jem even had characters and plots that were ahead of there time, especially for an 80s cartoon.
I’ll add them to the list! I actually love Jem and the holograms! My mom and I watched it during the pandemic lol
Ive never seen this but feel like this could have been a good magical girl show if they aged them up to all being like 15-17. It’d probably have kept the younger audience but also gained more of an older audience as well.
Finding out Chess's age and Ari's just made me head on disturbed. Seeing that this could play out as Chess being an "Pedo"... I personally think that Chess could be just be a little friend who helps around and a little teacher! I haven't seen the other character's ages. Despite anything, this show is disturbing and weird.
Or a big bro figure.
Finally! Someone said it!! Honestly I always thought the dynamic between Chess and Ari was weird as heck. Honestly, even Trump and Ari’s dynamic doesn’t make sense, Trump looks at least around 16-17 himself, I though he was in college at one point. Ari’s crush on Trump makes sense in retrospect, he’s handsome and looks like an idol, but why does he look so much older than her when she’s only a year younger, because just looking at these characters it looks very much like a kid crushing on a pop star, and like I said there’s nothing wrong with that, as long as a relationship isn’t encouraged. I know Trump is only one year older than her, but considering the way it looks it opens up some unsettling implications between the two, when I first saw Ari I thought she was in first grade or something, it’s just gross. Don’t even get me started with the Chess and Ari relationship, in my mind, they have a brother sister type relationship and it never goes further than that. Furthermore, I’ve always questioned how they thought Trump and Ari would’ve worked, Ari is actively working against the Flowering Heart Kingdom, and he’s working for it, he’s evil, she’s good, ultimately this dynamic wouldn’t have worked out anyways. Especially throughout Season 2, and I honestly cannot fathom Trump having any interest in Ari. They have virtually nothing in common and their interest in each other is fairly shallow. That’s why it’s honestly hilarious that the show tries so hard to pair these two together when they were doomed form the start, you’re not going to get with every person that you’re interested in, and honestly I think that would’ve been a better message to send to kids, than a completely unrealistic and slightly inappropriate relationship that would realistically never last. Even in Season 2, they continue to push this inappropriate relationship dynamic between Suha and Chess, luckily Chess has no interest in her, but like you said you really have to question the show writers, because this is just disturbing and horrifying on so many levels.
ngl the fact they transform into specofic dress when they transform reminds me of happiness charge precure and the heart flower is like heartcatch precure it s basically
heartcatch x happiness charge + inappropriate garbage = flowering heart
i remember seeing this show, being interested, but not being able to get through the first episode.
i can cope with emo boy being designed that way but why is 45th president so much taller than those 1 year younger than him? i was like "maybe magic kingdom mfs are just built like that" but then purple sharpay is still appropriately child coded
Lol purple Sharpay🤣 not nearly enough thought women to all of this
Your video just reminded me of an argument I had about cardcaptors. I can only tell people so many times that the 30-year-old teacher proposed to his 10 year old student.
I used to love Cardcaptor Sakura, why does
so much anime veer into this ultra creepy territory. I used to recommend Shugo Chara to a lot of people, but I re-watched it a couple years ago and I had completely forgotten how inappropriate her relationship with Ikuto is…😬
Edit: I misspelled something
@@bubblingmoon a lot of shojos are making me cringe lately.
Honestly, I feel the same. Ouran high school host club is still my favorite of all time, but there are some bits and pieces I have to ignore.
@@bubblingmoon I really loved OHSHC at the beginning at least Because it was a great story about being who you are and not falling into gender stereotypes. But at the end of the manga it got cliched At least the anime ended on a platonic note. But don't get me started on Skip Beat I have a complicated relationship and very layered feelings when it comes to Skip Beat. But I keep reading it because I want to know how it ends. If you're interested in my complaints I would happily tell you.
I’ve never read skip beat,but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
LMFAOO getting this in my reccomended is so funny. I used to be so obsessed with this garbage during quarantine
15:07 Wait a second Nico from Love Live is that you???!!?
I honestly forgot about this show im glad its being addressed 😭
Haha that intro is great 😂😂😂😂 also i couldnt watch this show it was just too....yea lol come on korea!? You were the chosen one haha
The way I see the series, I see Flowering Heart as Barbie mixed with Pretty Cure.
I was 7 when i saw this show 💀 ty for clearing that up bc i’ve always been wondering what was wrong with that show
I'm still waiting for Season 2 to be translated but I don't think it'll happen since the Creator of the show left
💚 pls talk about yurikuma!! I too love it so much. Beautiful, flawless, heartbreaking tale of bears being gay
Tbh yurikuma one of my favorite animes of all time
@@bubblingmoon Shabadadoo😎 Its just so refreshingly weird in concept but takes itself seriously when it needs to. All of Ikuharas anime are on my favorite list haha. I'd love to hear you talk about Utena as well, but I appreciate you choosing to talk about lesser known or discussed shows like Jem, lolirock, skydancers etc. You're one of my favorite youtubers atm cuz your taste and aesthetic is just *chefs kiss*
Utena is such a good anime. Honestly, my goal is to talk about every single magical world show I possibly can but right now I am in a very retro and I’ve been watching a bunch of nostalgic shows. Thank you so much 🥰 i’m so glad you like the art on my channel. I worked really hard to put it together. I spend a lot of time making my own backgrounds and effects so it’s nice to hear that people like them!
Voting is closed! The next magical, garbage video will be about sky dancers!
Sky Dancers = 🩵
The Miraculous Ladybug Movie = 💙
Yuri Kuma Arashi = 💚
🩵 Sky Dancers
💚
💚
Hard one, they're all interesting topics. But I'll go with 🩵 because it seems funny
🩵
I remember watching this show as like an 8 year old in my anime era BTW I watched evangelion, 3 episodes of PMMM and pre cure but this just made me feel weird
I just discovered your channel and so far I loved your videos! Also, it's always good to see a fellow PreCure fan
That’s wonderful to hear. Thank you!😊
Were you watch smile Precure? I watched Glitter Force as a child but I want to watch the original
@@alastoridk Legally, Crunchyroll has a few seasons. However, I watched it on 9Anime (now Aniwave). It has a few ads and some very annoying redirects, but if you have an ad blocker it should be okay
Harry from Huggto! Precure is like a good version of Chess 😂
I’m excited for the video on season 2!
It’s coming eventually😉
How do they even get away with this? (・_・)
I genuinely have no idea… it’s all very 😬
This show was so cute but the height and ages of the love interests just wasn’t it 👁️👄👁️
The way you described it reminded me of an anime called "lilpri"
Bro I just can’t imagine shipping Ari with anyone but Gichan. Obviously no one is really a good choice for her though. She’s like 1/3 of Trump’s size and you know their relationship’s going to be bad when he’s Donald Trump. And then there’s Chess. Chess is literally like 5 years older than her, and I guess that’s not that bad, but he’s almost an adult and Ari’s a 12 year old who looks like a 5 year old. Imagine an 18 year old dating a 13 year old or a 20 year old dating a 15 year old, it’s honestly weird. When they’re adults, it’s their choice but I suggest they wait until then. Btw, why are all of the 5th graders like a third of Donald Trump’s and Chess’s height? Since the 6th graders are only a year or 2 older? Like 5th graders aren’t that short. Gichan isn’t the best choice because of the teasing in prior episodes but he has good character development at least, and is Ari’s age and height! I mean idc if Donald Trump here starts dating someone a third of his size, but it’s just kinda weird since she looks like she’s a toddler. I don’t like any of the choices, but ultimately I end up with former bully Gichan.
This video is so funny nice work! I hope you eventually cover flowering heart season 2 so I can hear more of your rants lol
I’ll try and get around to it soon! I just wish they had dubbed it into English lol
Why did I watch this show as a kid..
Ari : 12 chess : 17 : trump 13
Ari: 12
Trump: 15-16
Chess:18-20
Did I win?
Ari’s age is correct and Chess, and Trump were relatively close so I gave your answer a B+
Your prize is two unicorns 🦄🦄 and a handful of sparkles ✨✨✨✨✨✨
Yep, you were close! Trump is 13, and Chess is 17.
Sailor Moon definitely did dieting/weight loss in a much better way
It makes me sad how good the animation looks.
ME: Can we get The Slayers?
GF: We have The Slayers at home.
(The Slayers at home is Demon Slayers)
ME: Damn!
What a bizarre time... I love to see unconventional (or really retro, as the case may be here) takes on genres, so I wish this could have been uhhh. Not what it seems to be. Why does she look so young!! Why couldn't they have all been, I don't know, eight if that's what the writing seemed to be aiming for. It would have felt Off even if she'd had a love interest who looked like a normal 12 or 13 year old, it's just wild to go in... whatever direction that is. I just can't get over that combination of design and character choices.
I love it, and im 12 years old
when i was little, this use to be my fav. now, rewatching at 15.... im like upset, i wish they made them the same age. i couldn't continue cause i kept getting uncomfortable whenever i see chess or trump in the scenes...
I like the message; helping others is important. It's a good lesson. The animation is pretty and colorful, the music is nice, the transformations are short but cute. My ONLY problem is the romance in this anime.
If Ari and the guys were 17, sure they can date; it's not a toxic relation but no! She's a kid, Chess and Trump are teenagers. It's the only weird/embarassing thing in Flowering heart; the rest is great 🙂
25:17 Watching someone ACTUALLY TRY THAT would be a more entertaining sit. LOL
THE WAY IT WAS 5:13 PRINCE TRUMP 😭
Well I guessed 9 and 37 for the ages, so by comparison... lmao
I despise how attractive Chess is. I'm going to pretend the rest of the show and plot don't exist. Death of the author? I think you mean death of the lore.
Ok but y'all remember that sailor moon was 14 and tuxedo mask was in college? 😂
Yeah, I have no idea why they changed the ages in the show. In the manga it’s only a two year age gap but for some reason when they were making the anime, they made it weird.😅
They gave the cat boobs and made it do the Sharon Stone Basic Instinct leg cross
Why did they do that
Ari: 6/7
Trump: 16
Chess: 19/20
Edit: OK WHAT, how is she 12??? And the guys look older ughh
Ari:10
Trump:20s
Chess:20s
I think I gave up half way 😅
I swear it was better in the Korean Version. Like, there was more deph in the writing, and there is more like... tween stuff idk. I also think that might be why Shuel is such an annoying character, like they mistranslated a few things. I've never seen the English version, so take this lightly tho. Iirc, Ari and chess never get togwther (THANK GOD) I watched all the seaslns when I was 9-10 and then again at 12. When I was 9-10 it wasn't as bad, but a lot worse at 12. Probably because I could see the plotholes.
ALSO there js a seen where Shuel gets kidnapped that scared the shit out of me as a little kid and in my opinion was done horribly.
I was really attached to this show as a kid and its really sad to realize this now that im older. I am planning to rewrite the plot and make a story minus theove triangle and with better tonal writing. I'm hoping to rewrite chess away from being a odd romantic interest and instead a big brother relationship and making Trump at least look like a kid since he is cannonically 13 while Chess is 17. I want to make it clear i don't condone rhe shipping of Chess and Ari and want to rewrite it to avoid that but still keep Chess in the story as a different relational values. Like finding a home with Ari while he never really was there for Trump. Would anyone be intrested if I did write this? (Sorry for rambling)
Oh god main character is 11 but is like a foot tall and has a head that's larger than her body, wtf.
Ari is 8-10 years old
Trump and Chess are in their early 20s
The answer is... WHAT THE FU-
🤣
So Magical DoReMi then?
I think I watched a couple episodes of that back when I was little, but it’s been so long. I don’t remember anything about the show. I’ll add it to my list!
There all 10 somehow
Have you watch sofyruby? It has the same vibes as this
I’ve never heard of it before, but I’ll add it to my list!
IT’S FOR TWEENS NOT CHILDREN 😭
Ari is 12 trump is 13 and chess is 17
9 and 18
Yeah I like this show but I hate how the main character was in love with a teenager gross
Ari look like she's 7 and the guys looked like they are 16. It would be really weird if they were in love with her 🤢Not sure it's romantic to see teenagers flirting with a KID!
What? Trump is 13? He looks way older than that!
I loved Flowering Heart i think its one of the better magical girl shows.... if it wasnt so sus. the romance If i rember right the guy is 17 but the girl is 13 however she looks 6. its not fan serves like swim suits or topless chest. They skip the sus fanserve and jump into grooming
i said i loved it its almost one of the better magical girl shows its just the weird romance and extreme darkness I think they killed a dog... it got better
Im so sad we didnt get a season 2. I want to know where it was going. Let me say My Memory is from 5 years ago and this was Korean. i think there was shadow guys kidnapping kids in alloyways. season 2 was going to be darker maybe. i really want to know what they was cooking
I think there was a season two, but it never got dubbed into English
HELP..THE K,POP INDUSTRY?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
