As you may have guessed from the name, Splash Star has got a water theme going on (and nature more generally) and that extends to the stock footage

So for the finisher attack the two girls each shoot out a stream of magical water that surrounds and purifies the monster

Also Quinn I would dispute your assertion on one ground: the mascots are a much bigger upgrade

Like Choppy and Flappy are still doing the Mascot Voice but they’re good beans apart from that

okay true

no series can TOUCH futari for having the shittiest fairies
