I'd like to express my opinion... I think the hand-to-hand combat in PreCure series has always been the main feature of the show and its strenght, compared to other magical girl series like Sailor Moon or Tokyo Mew Mew. The PreCure series in Japan became one of the most popular show between girls also thanks its peciliarity of be like a battle shonen, in fact the PreCure series are pretty popular also between male audience. The action featured in the Pretty Cure fights is not easy to find in other magical girl series targeted at girls, it's a really rare event that contributed to the PreCure series success. The latest Pretty Cure series are losing that characteristic and are standardizing in the typical magical girl stereotype. It's obivious by comparind the first PreCure girls which were totally badass girls and the latest PreCure girls like Maho Tsukai or the early KiraKira: they're too girly-girl sugary kawaii good girls. Hovewer I still like them, I'm so excited for the new season, but I miss the older ones.
