For the first 11 episodes (all I've seen so far), KiraKira seemed a little much random. It was never explained why they fight and who they fight against. We only saw Gummy and the others but no further explanation about them either. That's something that annoys me abou Kirakira a lot.

About the fact that it resembles TMM/Doremi... WHO EVEN CARES?! Tokyo Mew Mew and Doremi have both been great shows, so there's nothing wrong with having a Pretty Cure inspired by these (I agree with Hibiki, it wasn't copied, only inspired, why? I tell you now). I haven't watched Doremi at all, but geez people! Doremi is about witches, and sweets, as far as I know, was only the theme of one season! And I'm sure they handled it differently. Just judging their outfits, compared to KiraKira's outfits... Do the Doremi girls' outfits look like sweets/desserts`? No? No, they don't. Don't just look at the concept over all, also look at the "small" details.

Then about TMM, I can say, I love the similarities! I LOVE them. TMM was my very first (magical girl) anime and I've always wanted to have a Pretty Cure season like TMM. But... KiraKira is hardly anything like Tokyo Mew Mew... The main goal of the Mew mews is to save the world (and environment) while the Pretty Cures (so far) protect the power of magical sweets. Yes, both teams work at a café... but Mew Mew Café and Kirakira Pati are totally different. So are the characters.

Even though Kirakira didn't meet my expectations, I still think it is a cute season, no matter what. Nothing can make me think "you are not cute anymore", when looking at Custard, for example. Aoi will always rock, as much as Yukari will be elegant. I just wished Toei stepped back a little from the weekly fights... they sometimes seem so senseless in KiraKira. In episode 10, for example, it would have been so much nicer to see more about the characters, especially Yukari and Akira. I feel like their arc was rushed!

Finally, I want people to stop comparing the transformations and saying "comapred to Gelato's Macaron's looks boring." The transformations are based on the character! Of course Macaron's would be less rocking and lively than Gelato's!

Also, stop bringing up the dog-chocolate thing. It's tiring
