I love the form changes and I love how they're handling it. The combat is one of the few pluses I have towards this season; that and all the homages to the Harry Potter universe. Somehow the story of the relationship between the Magic Academy chairman and Kushie was way better than it probably could have been and felt very Potter-esque, especially with the idea that Kushie used Dark Magic to attempt to comprehend the Linkle Stone power and mutated into Dokruxie as a result. And on a similar note, I do like there is a comprehensive understanding of the differences in power between the magic of Magic World and the Cure magic; it's just great that we have a universe where everyone can use magic but the Cure power is just so great that obviously they're going to end up superior in the end. (heck just the mere idea that EVERYONE needs "Cure Up Ra Pa Pa" for their spells sort of makes it less a battle cry and more just this universe's "Abracadabra")

I can't stand Ha-chan already and she's about to become Kotoha/Felice where I am (at the end of the "first arc" actually, next ep finishes it and the one after introduces Felice) She was getting annoying even when she started basically being the reason that Dokruxie's trio start falling one by one; which is a shame cause I really gained an appreciation for all three of them. (mostly Batty who was probably the best developed; Sparda was good and I didn't mind Gamettsu...though my only problem with Gamettsu is he felt like a more aggressive Kintoleski; and with how awesome Kintoleski is I sort of felt we didn't need Gamettsu to homage him so closely even with his intent still evil) Plus when the show does do things right it can be great, such as just how randomly Mirai and Riko show up at Dokruxie's doorstep as the Chairman is trying to get some answers. But yeah...still can't stand Mirai, and I sort of hope whatever we learn near the end improves her.
