I'm still sort of shocked at how many VAs from Futari (and Max Heart) returned in later seasons. Off the top of my head, the first season gave us Tarte, Milky Rose, Melody, Mint, and Pine; then throw in Marine and Scarlet in Max Heart.

I'm wondering if Hime's maturity was too quickly or if it was just something she was more capable of due to her circumstances. The season begins after some time probably having passed since Axia was opened and Queen Mirage took over her kingdom, so obviously she had to get over some things rather quickly. I sort of see that she sort of got over it even before episode 1, but her issues are more about her shyness and some of the implications that were caused than anything to do with Hime's own maturity level in itself. I sort of wish that they didn't have to make up a random kingdom for this to have happened to in absence of an alternate world this season and the whole "global" theme...but what can you do?

Yeah, Infinity was ridiculous. I know people liked the Chiffon becoming Infinity thing, but it annoyed the heck out of me just how out of nowhere it would just stop whatever it was doing and start it's "I am Infinity, the Infinity Memory" rant. It sort of happened so often that it's initial scary implications became downright hilarious. And then there were other implications like this: how did the Land of Sweets knew this happened in the past and what did they do then? I highly doubt Labyrinth was around the last time something like this happened, so what was that threat and how did the Cures handle it? And how in the world did the main fairy problem this season basically just turn into an overhyped memory chip for a supercomputer?

I really like when the main villain is much more "human" in it's truth even if it's an eldritch horror. Stuff like Moebius, Despariah, Noise and even the Selfish King are way more interesting than "evil for the sake of evil"...then again if done right like with Goyan/Akudaikan, it can still be entertaining. (on the other hand more "human" evil can still suck...looking at you, Eternal Chairman)
