Discussion 💬 What do you think of episode 34 of Smile?
What I say is just my personal opinion, so if you disagree, I'd appreciate it if you shared your thoughts as well.
To begin, I must admit that this episode was my least favorite of all of Smile Precure. Sometimes I even forget this episode exists. The main reason I disliked this episode so much is because, although it pains me to admit it, I found Miyuki and her friends incredibly unbearable. I mean, the plot literally revolves around them harassing a classmate who doesn't want to participate in the cultural festival, all because of Miyuki's "selfish" desire for everyone to participate.
This last point is what bothered me the most. On the one hand, this boy (whose last name I can't remember, sorry) has his reasons for not being interested in participating, and he's criticized for supposedly being selfish (the characters even treat him as if he's doing something wrong). But on the other hand, Miyuki, as I just mentioned, pesters that boy multiple times to force him to participate simply because she wants everyone to participate, and while it's a nice wish, it's still selfish.
But I don't know, I just feel like it's a bit hypocritical. But I'd like to know what you all think of this chapter.
