Yeah, I think the whole franchise exists because simply put...the first 26 episode were good. And they were good. (despite my complaints of Pollun problems appearing before the climax but Pollun has his purpose in 24-26: without him, the Cures would become old ladies after beating the Dark/Evil King; that time slip thing for humans and fairies was bizarre in Futari, huh?) It lead to the weak but still interesting second half, and then with no real ideas and prepping for Splash Star to make a good series, we got the mess that is Max Heart. And yeah, I can discuss another time how messy Max Heart is...even if I already did in a review.

I'm not sure what they could have put on Hosshiwa's head I admit. But the hat makes me think she's a wannabe Jamaican with a French style and yet she's neither. Really, a hairband probably would have been better but they sort of screwed that up royally.

We'll never know the truth of where Popcorn Cheer comes from...then again as bad as Honey is, Lovely is as bad if not worse. Lest I remind you of the episode I watched last night, which was basically: Megumi puts everyones lives at risk and nearly gets them killed...just so she can force Hime to give cupcakes to her mirror-trapped mom. Cupcakes that Hime was all prepared to eat by herself; she really had come to terms with what happened and wants to save them but it was Megumi who wanted her to go back there into hell and nearly get killed!

Oh BTW: I actually wrote this recently but it could be of use to new Cure viewers or those who only watch Happiness Charge onwards and wonder about Futari-DokiDoki:
