I'm getting Tokyo Mew Mew vibes out of this incarnation. The staff seems promising, and there's a new composer.

Mahou Tsukai was really good for my experience, I can look pass the costumes if the narrative is good but this will be post Heartcatch season all over again (and I still enjoyed Suite).

With Heartcatch and Go Princess being my favorite ones, this staff picked my attention.
I don't particularly like the designs, but that may change when I see them animated (as it did with Heartcatch for me).

Love the red and purple Cure designs, but not crazy about the others. Still going to give it a chance though. The return of Go! Princess' headwriter and Heartcatch's character designer has me excited.

A new-to-the-franchise composer sounds interesting as well. I've only heard his work on My Hero Academia, but I was very impressed with it, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll create for Precure.

Noticing that the Cure names all have to do with sweets...A good time to snack on some cookies while enjoying the magical action... Cool

Could as well bring some Cure Lemonade for an improved snack time!

Now that would be even better! Smile
If only there were a Cure Milk for complement...

I see I'm not the only one getting Heartcatch vibes (though I'm getting more of a Yes/Smile feeling as well, it's probably the five-member team).

Maho Girls was pretty good and I loved the characters, but I'll admit, the action was kind of disappointing. Though, such is the curse of coming after Go! Princess.

HC's character designer was Umakoshi Yoshihiko. Ino Marie is just someone who did key animation for 3 HC episodes. But to be fair, she does seem to be one of Umakoshi's go-to animators, since she has worked on many shows where he was in charge of animation.

Woooow, Yuuki Hayashi will be the new composer? Now this I gotta see!

Other than that, looks quite nice. Not a big fan of the characters designs though, but I'll have to see it animated to judge.

Am I the only one here that thinks that the character design resembles Ojamajo Doremi?

No, I see it too. Especially in the civilian designs (like Cure Custard basically looks like Hazuki with braids & without glasses)
Since Ojamajo Doremi is still a hit for Toei, I guess don't fix what isn't broke in this case.

So essentially, this is the Precure adaptation of Tokyo Mew Mew.

That similarity is almost too much for me but who am I kidding, I'll be watching it.

Well. I have no plans of watching this season. I mean, I am getting tired to watch the yearly precure series. I am watching this franchise scine 2016.

But if it has staff of heartcatch and Princess I can give an oportunity.

This is going to make me hungry, I hope I don't gain 15 lbs after the series ends.
