So even if it's being marketed at girls, there are still lots of adult guys watching it. idk.
That wouldn't surprise me, but it's the same phenomenon as MLP - the primary audience is little girls, even though it's popular with other demographics despite the lack of targeted advertising toward older dudes.
Also, I assume that you're viewing Pretty Cure videos on le English youtube? The viewer demographics are somewhat different for Pretty Cure videos uploaded by Japanese users. The demographic that really counts, however, is who's watching the cartoons when they air on Japanese TV on Saturday mornings. Which just happens to be the demographic least likely to be watching the same episodes on Youtube. Which is why you need to be careful about making arguments based on Youtube viewership! ;)
Regarding the deaths in PMMM, personally I draw a distinction between a character dying and then getting un-dead-ed, versus a character dying permanently in one timeline but surviving in another timeline.
But Homura wasn't "splitting" timelines in PMMM. She was actually rewinding time. So Mami very much did get un-deaded. That's the same way that Sailor Moon saved all of the Sailor Senshi at the end of the first season.
Or, if you don't buy the rewinding argument, then all of the Sailor Senshi at the end of the first season of Sailor Moon died and stayed dead in their own timeline, too.
