Well, it somehow worked out anyway! xD

Right, wasn’t it? I mean, at one hand I understand their choice, since the season’s conflict was more a clash of ideologies and viewpoints rather than the usual good vs evil, so to solve it mostly by verbal confrontation is kinda smart, but at the other hand I still would have preferred if they handled it differently. They could have gone through with even greater concepts (and also make it feel a bit more intense), but they chose to stay here. I kinda liked the “Everyone’s a Precure”-thing, only because, like everyone else has been saying, it fits with the theme of the season. But really, it wasn’t what I had hoped for. HUGtto is still a very enjoyable show tho, and I also liked the moments you talked about.

I still like all the characters and most of the ideas and heavier themes they’ve brought up, so I’m of the opinion that HUGtto, not as a Precure season but just as a show could of used about maybe 20 more episodes (and a biiit more condensed writing), since even if you did away with some of the less great episodes (like the 2 crossover ones, that did quite a lot of damage to the show. I also think they should have focused a little less on Ruru and Emiru), there’s still enough plot-relevant eps that they would have needed more to fully flesh things out, like the story of ep 31 (when Hana made up with her old friend), Saaya’s whole character development and some of the villains’ face turns. But since the kind of storytelling they chose needs more time, things ended up suffering. And poor Saaya was severely mistreated!
