FairySina wrote: What I want? What I seriously want from Pretty Cure? Something similar to what Hibiki said already, just a little different. While I want to have a season without (toy-hacked) mid-season Cures, I don't mind if we get a new one next year. (And seriously, Toei... PLEASE release a new toy for the new Cure. I'm sick of people hacking your toys to spoil all the fun)

What I do mind is if the character feels like they aren't supposed to be here. Toei had handled mid-season Cures good until KiraKira. From Fresh to Mahou Tsukai, it always felt like everyone was a big Pretty Cure family. Setsuna didn't only bond with Love, but also with Inori and Miki. Iona didn't only make up with Hime, but also become good friends with Megumi and Yuko. And Towa had episodes to bond with the other three (Kirara, Minami and Yui) as well. (Only mentioned I remember well)...

However,... in KiraKira Ciel bonded with Ichika and.... Yukari I guess. Yeah I know. She was shown a lot with Himari and Aoi too, but it just felt off, like they never really interacted except for one episode! The only ones Ciel ever talked to was Ichika (Rio and Bibury ofc xD). And in HUGtto...? Do Ruru and Emiru even know Homare and Saaya's last names? Because I never see them bonding/interact. Not only were Homare and Saaya pushed to the side lines when Twin Love was introduced, they also never EVER got the chance to become friends with them! They were simply forced to do so, but we never saw them in a bonding episode, did we? An episode that is entirely focused on the four forming a friendship. So far, Emiru and Ruru only feel friends towards Hana.

And that's what I DO NOT want for StarTwin. I want a team that feels like one. Not just after they transformed, but also while struggling with school problems... I agree with that, like, I don't want what happened in HUGtto. Like so called 'breaking-up' into 3:2 and what not. I hope that like the last 10+ episodes of HUGtto will have them all as one. If you get what I mean that is...
