I actually don't mind Siren's transition to Beat. I even don't mind that Siren had to be brainwashed back to being evil and really most of what she was doing from then until she became Beat was because of it since it built up Noise without us realizing it. And it really wasn't that easy since the whole element leading to the first transformation was just her reaching a breaking point and the whole thing being about her relationship with Hummy, which basically was what started the conflict. Once that was resolved and the brainwashing finally broke, she changed into Beat...but she still had several episodes to angst since everything she knew was gone and now she had to live a new life. On the other hand I did like Setsuna's transition...but some of it was a bit tougher to deal with than Siren's and, as mentioned, I hated just how instantly she became Passion after her death. The death had meat to it to build up the power Labyrinth had behind them, but just how she suddenly revives and is Cure Passion feels out of nowhere and it took how excellent the follow-up was before I could really get behind it.

I just have a problem with baby fairies, that's just me though. Potpourri is a spazz, Ai is an abomination created by the most bizarre means possible, Pollun...well, he worked as a plot device when he first appeared (sort of distorting time so Nagisa and Honoka wouldn't turn into old ladies traveling to and from the Garden of Light) and did matter in Futari's second half (as annoying as he was), but just got sickening once Max Heart started and only got funny when Lulun showed up. And Chiffon...yeah, I know big stuff is coming but a lot of what I've seen with it has just annoyed me with that thing.
