Like, how can you judge if a character has autism or not, or if we don't already have autistic Cures or not? Because Toei never stated it "She has autism", which is a good thing, if you ask me. I hate it when people create their fancharacters purely on the excuse of being diversy "she has autism", "she's bisexual", "she's somewhat else but not white". I don't mean it in an offending way, just saying that character that have their special trait as their highlight... eh tag, they become boring. To me at least. Like Akira. She was much potential, but it was soon obvious that she was going to be the Yuri-shipped character of the team. That made her kinda boring. I wished Toei had kept their first intention of Akira as a secret and gave her more characterisation.

With that said, I do hope that Toei brings more diversity in- more lead Cures that are different. I know, I know. Everyone who talks about a diverse pink Cure, thinks of Cure Blossom. But I personally don't see the impact of the shy lead that much. It is nice once, but people are pushing it hard, idk it'll work. How about a tomboyish lead Cure? We haven't had one since Cure Bloom, and back then we had duo teams... which means no real leader. Or a not-so-flawless kanpeki lead character like Kirara, Ciel and Miki? Or... idk...Make an alien the lead Cure. I look also forward to see more variation in the other Cure colors. Saaya - who appeared to be the stereotypical blue cure - and Homare were nice characters, who broke their character clichés. Especially Homare ofc.

About story and story telling, I hope - though I doubt it will happen - it will be more like HaCha was. Granted, HaCha wasn't the best in terms of telling the story (which was mostly thanks to Blue...), but it had done a WAY better job than Mahou, Kirakira, and YES even HUGtto. I want to see all Cures interacting with eachother, not just everyone interacting with the pink, but no one with the blue. A character can be stated as autistic without autism being his/her only trait. There's nothing wrong with saying that a character is autistic, gay, etc. Just don't let that be his/her sole purpose.

And I definitely agree with you. All the pink Cures are the same except for Tsubomi (and Mana a bit)! i disagree with the pink cures being the same thing. the most similar two pink cures (not counting cure black,as pink is only her sub-color) are cure bloom and cure melody,who can't transform without egret and rhythm,respectively.
