HOW CUTE IS THIS OMG
WATCH IT AND LOVE IT FOREVER
It's not really mahou shoujo-style... You are right about aidoru-style, though.Its a cute ending, but yeah, it does stereotype Serena as a girly magical girl type character. Its based on Japanese idols and magical girl anime.
I never thought we'd have a main girl even girlier than Dawn was, but the writers have somehow managed to top Dawn in the girly department.
I know, it's just that the excessive use of red and the near-blinding neon colours at points remind me of it. Lord knows that Pokemon x NGNL would be a disastrous combination anyway...albeit a probably hilarious one. xD
@Zeria: It's not MADHOUSE, it cannot be totally NGNL animation =D

It's very cute, in terms of lyrics at least, I would prefer more cuter voice, though.
Well, now I have an answer to what would happen if the Pokemon anime decided to have a Pretty Cure dance ending with No Game No Life-style animation...
...don't get me wrong here, I love it. I don't watch the anime in Japanese, but it's nice to see Serena getting an ED of her own. It's all very cute, and I'm totally fine with that. xD
do we need a "kid shonen" ending tho
like what have all the openings been....
It is very possible that Serena will pass all pokemon characters in development. But my question is this, why are they putting so much focus on her if she is just going to be cut out of the anime at the end? My hope is that she will last one more generation and arc similar to that of the Orange Islands and Battle Frontier.
(Also, "Kid Shonen" is redundant)
So much focus? Serena practically did nothing for the whole first year of XY and its only now after 47 episodes that she's captured a Pokemon and gotten a goal.
May and Dawn were both tremendously more focused on and developed in their first year than Serena is now. By this time in AG May had won her first Contest and had 3 Pokemon, and Dawn had 4 Pokemon and was on her Contest losing streak until her rebound.
I'm also surprised you don't remember that Dawn got an ending theme at the very first episode of DP. What they're doing with Serena now isn't any different than past girls. I just think Iris has made people forget how the leading protagonists from the games are treated in this show.
As for the ending I do like the animation and wonder if this will be in the show with Serena dancing.
As far as I know, Dawn did not have a big part in the openings like Serena has gotten. Dawn was also less focused, it was mainly about Ash still. Not to mention there is very little, connection to Dawn and Ash as there is with Serena. And as of right now, Serena has an entire arc like this based around her it seems.
1) Kid shoujo?It more Kid Shoujo type of Ending.
Hopefully we will get Kid shouene type of ending someday.
If you watched DP, you'd pretty much know Dawn got everything you're saying and more. Her ending theme was at the end of the first episode and most of the first half of DP heavily focused on her outside of the Paul episodes.
I'm also kind of confused how you think Serena has an entire arc about her is any different than the Contest episodes. You don't remember them doing the same thing with the two coordinators?
When I say Serena has a whole arc, I am talking about her being in front of everyone else in the newest opening. That has never happened, Ash is always in the front. It is true that the contests are arcs, but they are also not. You could say the same with gym battles..
