The first Hugtto episode was OK. Hana's character is just a complete rip-off of Love from Fresh as I predicted, and we've had this kind of "very energetic, optimistic and clumsy" leader a billion times by now and I'm just sick of it. I do like her elegance and seriousness during her cure form though. I also do like the mascots a lot, even the baby Hugtan which is super cute and not horrible looking like Ai-chan from Doki. The fight was pretty great but felt short. Both the transformation and Yell's attack were pretty unremarkable and that's disappointing (though Yell's attack is way better than Whip's first attack, it's still just a repackaged Happy Shower). The rest of the cast doesn't interest me much. Blue hair (I forgot their names) at least seemed to be a more timid kind of nerdy student, akin to Honoka, unlike many blue cures we had before who were smug little misses perfection, and I appreciate that. Yellow hair seems to be the typical lonewolfer which development I always find boring and predictable. At least she has a nice cure form.
