I only watched the first 5 episodes before I dropped this series, but I'll give it some credit.

The characters have great designs, and I actually find Ichika very endearing as a character. Sure, she's a spotlight hog, but that's Toei's fault, not hers. I like how she cares about preserving everyone's smiles through sweets, and how even when she screws up making something, she tries again. She's actually a good role model.

I adore Aoi, but I hate how her role with sweets is so forced, and I also don't like her being the rich girl. That role seriously should've gone to Yukari, given that Yukari has nice tastes and is a freaking cat, her being the heiress would've made sense! I love Aoi, but I feel like the rich girl thing was just thrown in to give her an episode.

Himari is the character who makes the most sense with the theme, and she is so adorable and precious.

Akira and Yukari, I love them both as well. I love how Akira is more masculine, and WEARS SHORTS! Her design and personality are so noble and she and Yukari fit together perfectly.... which is also a problem because they totally have the Uranus/Neptune thing going on and I can't help but feel like they are copying that and just trying to pander to queerbaiting with them.

Ciel... I never got to her, but I don't like her. I'm sorry, but she ignored her brother (who is awesome), and her ignoring his problems is what started the whole mess of this season in the first place. She IGNORES HER FAMILY, causes a huge mess, and then.. gets to be a pretty cure? She gets rewarded for that shit? Yeah, no. But, her design is pretty in Cure form. In human form, she looks like a spoiled brat. sorry.

The story... I like how sweets were used to help people, but I feel that it was such a dumb way to fix things. cake, while amazing, isn't the answer to everything. KiraKiraru, what makes it so valuable? Anyone can make it, the fact that it's so common ruins it's value, and it's not like dreams where ruining them can seriously damage a person. The enemies just make sweets taste bad, what's the urgency to fight? Just replace the stuff they made taste bad, problem solved. The villains in the beginning had no development, which is part of why I dropped it.

The fights.. I like that they tried something new... It just, well.. failed
