(I'm late) This was the first season I've ever watched and I am nowhere near disappointed. I honestly thought this season was going to be a sweets themed. So I felt pretty proud when this was announced. So first the characters...

Ichika. I LOVE her! She is your typical genki protagonist. I know 98% of the people hate her with that 2% being me an my friend (if possible other people) but she is just fun to watch. People may say that she is a spotlight stealer but that is what a protagonist/leader does. That's really just logic for me. People may also say that she has no development but according to one person who commented on the scene on episode 31 between her and her mother, Ichika learns that it is okay to cry. Because for the first half she tries her best not to cry in front of her mother to show how much she has grown. In the darkest of moments, she tries to keep smiling (bad grammar :P) I'll try to respect you if you hate her or any of the characters or this entire season but I won't guarantee you that I will. She is definitely my favorite cure in the franchise. I really love Bunny Gift as it shows how thankful she actually is. She wants people to smile. She honestly is one of the things that helped me with my depression. And that's just wow. She is NOT A MARY SUE! A Mary Sue is the "perfect" fictional character. She is not perfect because she trips, she doesn't do good all the time with sweets and all the other stuff. So shut it. >:<

Himari. Relatable since she is shy. But she is really smart so it makes her a little more interesting imo. Sure she may have had one of the best character developments and all. It's as if since her debut she really learned to opened up. I also love her character songs. Petit Party Science is super catchy and Caramel Days just gives me the feels.

Aoi. She is not your ordinary blue cure. Aside from being rich. She is really about reaching her dreams to the point where she covers Soul Believer. I would have to argree she may be forced but she is still devoted to sweets in some way. I also love her transformation. My favorite in the season (I think.)

Yukari and Akira. They are really intersting (no pun intended). Yukari tries to stay perfect but learns to accept her flaws. Akira is really unique and really sticks to her tomboyish ways. But the two of them together... yeah. They have such great chemistry I fangirl when they are together. Akira is willing to accept Yukari just as she is which also helps Yukari accept herself more. Also, their duet. Mmm yeah~ Gotta love how they perform it live and in Dream Stage. It's basically Episode 25 but (imo) it has some sexual tension.

Ciel. An intersting addition. At first I thought she is going to be snobby since she is good at making sweets but it's not the case. She is fun to watch. And I love her relationship with her brother.

The villans. What a unique set. Ciel's twin brother Pikario/Julio/Rio is amazing and he really knows how to make a dark vibe. Making it more interesting. Bibury is a cute tsundere. Grave is so badass. Elisio is intersting and the fact that he is the final boss instead of Noir makes it interesting.

Now for the plot...

To be fair it is confusing. But I end up not really caring in the end. And the ending of this season is sad but seems accurate. It pretty much started the reincarnated/kid in the future thing. It continues in Hugtto.

The fights I will admit aren't the best. But atleast the movies they are in and the fight in episode 48 fills that gap in some way. I don't really care about the fact that they are not using their fists because if I became a cure, I'd go all out with pure magic and shoot cream at the monster since I am such a scaredy cat :p

Overall, this season is standard but my favorite. I know most likely everyone will not miss it but I will miss it. Everything in my opinion was great and underrated. You can't blame the fact that the cures are not doing what they could do like some logical stuff or use their fists becuase they are not reall people. Toei had so many writers during that time so it was flooded with suggestions and they just mash them all together. It hurts my feelings when the people say bad thngs about this season. I know you think that way but there are still people who likes them and will try to contradict. I may be overprotective about this season but I am just get overprotective of anything that is hated. Like Pearl from Splatoon 2.

Sure Hugtto did better with the characters and fights and EVERYTHING ELSE but I didn't want to put this over Kirakira because I would be like those "Hugtto is better than kirakira and kirakira should die cuz it is the worst season" people. I feel like I'm betraying Kirakira if I do so.

I give this season an 11/10. I know a lot of you guys will try to contradict with what I said about this season but hey, that's just life.
