I don't hate KiraKira. I actually like it. But there are flaws. Noticeable flaws. Such as, solo transformation transitions. Oh my god, Custard suffered the most. Lack of info on the bad fairies. Yes, we got info in episode 12, but not enough. They still feel really random and bland as we have no idea where they came from and why only Gummy speaks for everyone XD

And every single PreCure season has it's childish moments, with Smile being the most childish (excluding Joker). Some people tend to forget that PreCure is a show made for children, so yeah, it makes sense that it has its childish moments. However, KiraKira being childish because of its theme? Hmm...has anyone seen episode 12, yet? It got dark ish because of what the sweets produce. So people, don't call something childish until you've seen all 50 episodes!

And KiraKira is by no means a rip off of Tokyo Mew Mew or Ojamajo Doremi. Instead it is "inspired". Apparently, the character designer for KiraKira works under Umakoshi, the character designer of Heartcatch and Ojamajo Doremi, and as everyone has kindly pointed out, the Candy Rod looks like that wand thing that the Ojamajo witches use.That is because, the designer is inspired by Umakoshi's designs. Wala! Not a rip off! It's inspired~!

I tend to see people being very negative about KiraKira because of the story and fights. Sometimes I wonder if people actually read the warning that Toei gave when the site launched: "Instead of fist fights, we're gonna use something called colorful pop battles". It's like everyone is ignoring the fact that WE WERE WARNED. Plus, PreCure isn't only about the battles. It's about the girls and how they overcome their struggles and the enemy to become closer friends. Like, yeah, PreCure is known for the epic fist fights but sometimes, experiments need to be made. Who knows, soon, the colorful pop battles could become more epic than fist fight and become the thing PreCure is known for instead. Even though, I do want the fist fights back...hehe.
