Exactly! For pre-DokiDoki seasons it was almost garuanteed a likeable lead and equal development.

Yukari has changed, but it's very little. I think she (although Himari is close) is the most developed Cure this season after Ciel (she feels the most human out of them), and that just goes to show how bad the development has been this season (excluding the twins and Bibury).

For future seasons, I also would like if we got to see more of their school lives again. Like seriously, how much have we seen them in school this year? Like, four episodes! Only when it was necessary for plot points. I think they would feel at least a little more real if they showed them at school too, and not just KiraPati all the time. Other seasons have made the Cures have a realistic life outside being Cures, but not Kirakira.

Lastly, I don't like how the "episode-arcs" are arranged in Kirakira. As of now, nearly the whole season is divided into three kinds of episodes:
 * Character episodes/Pairing episodes
 * Random slice of life episodes
 * Serious episodes

Rinse and repeat.

...Sigh.
