User blog comment:CustardPuddingHoney/My thoughts on Star Twinkle Pretty Cure so far/@comment-37117761-20190809031811

I agree with most of your points. I do have some things I disagree about, though.

1. I don't really like Hikaru. She has almost the exact same personality as most pink Pretty Cures. That's why I generally don't like pink Cures; almost all of them are the same. So far, Tsubomi and Mana are the only protagonists that I actually like because they have their own personalities instead of being rip-offs of everyone before them.

2. I don't like Kappard. He has no personality beyond being evil. He only does two interesting things. One is making poses sometimes, but that has nothing to do with what little personality he has. If you want a villain who strikes poses all of the time, Moerumba and Joker are much better because they actually have personalities. The other interesting thing is one line in episode twelve where he implied that he and the other Notraiders come from a planet with extremely harsh conditions. However, this has not been developed at all since then. If you want alien villains who come from a harsh environment and thus want to take over Earth, go watch Tokyo Mew Mew. Its villains are far better than Star Twinkle's could ever hope to be.

3. I did like Tenjo, though I don't anymore. She used to be a pretty interesting villain because her focus wasn't on brute force like Kappard or Aiwarn, but on strategy. She relied on formations with her Nottorei and using the Pretty Cures' personality traits and habits against them. Then, Darknest powered up her fan, and she lost all of her strategy and just summoned monsters. Now, she's a boring version of Aiwarn. Oh, and the Nottorei? They were a great idea, but they might as well not even exist after episode 10 or so.

4. I think Aiwarn is an okay villain. Not a good or great villain, but she's definitely the best we have now that Bakenyan has turned against the Notraiders. This is mainly because she actually has a personality. Kappard, Tenjo, Garuoga, and Darknest have no personality beyond being evil. Aiwarn, however, is a spoiled, sociopathic little brat. She's Pollun if he was a female villain. Thus, she's actually somewhat interesting to watch. I think Aiwarn will get even more interesting when we find out what she's doing now that she's left the Notraiders.

5. I don't like Fuwa. In episode 1, I thought she was going to be a great mascot and I loved her interactions with Hikaru. But starting in episode 2, Fuwa became just there. All she became was a device to advertise the Twinkle Book toy and restore the Star Princesses. Episode 20 was the only other episode than episode 1 where she was a character and not just an object. Chiffon, Ai, Haa-chan, and Hugtan are far better babies than Fuwa.
