Yeah I think I prefer watching a show once the hype is gone myself.

As for the finished Max Heart rewatch...the sad thing is I think it had potential and ideas in it that could have lead to a good show if it wasn't so screwed up. I may want to make a list of five things I would have changed but the big thing is...I don't think Hikari should have been a Cure to begin with. (or at least not done the way they did her) I like the concepts with her and Hikaru and the element of them weaponizing light and darkness as war weapons, but she was just such a drag. Oh and then there's the contradictions which I still hate, the worst being "oh, you have to go out and see the world and have encounters to become something...no wait, those memories I told you to make are now preventing you from being me again!" If it isn't evident, the Queen of the Garden of Light is perhaps one of the, if not the, worst mentor characters in the franchise.

So happy Splash Star is next in my rewatch since I can savor it instead of rushing through since it's so terrible. I don't think I'm going to have a problem with my rewatch again that I know of...until we get to the Flora/Boss nonsense in Yes! 5 GoGo.
