I'm continuing to really enjoy Soaring Sky! At this same point in Delicious Party I was mostly getting burned out on the slow pace, but I'm still super invested in the characters and plot of Sky.
Cure Butterfly's debut was a ton of fun, and I love her butterfly press attack with the quick frame of her car slipped in! And Mashiro's letter to Sora when she'd returned to Skyland genuinely got me very emotional.

I really loved this cour of Soaring Sky! The cast is great, the feels are great, there's been a bunch of cool action sequences, heck, Battamonda was a ton of fun and even legitimately threatening at times. And yeah, Mashiro's letter was perfect, I was tearing up all through it.

Hirogaru Sky is turning out to be one of the best Precure series! They're doing a great job with the characters. Even Kabaton got an arc, going beyond a purple farting pig.
If Precure was a shonen, it would never be dismissed as a children's series. Almost all the Cures are between 13 and 17, and deal with grown-up problems like picking a career and getting into a good high-school/college.
Demon Slayer? Tanjiro-13, Nezuko-12. Fullmetal Alchemist? Edward and Elphonse are 15 & 14, Hunter x Hunter - Gon & Killua are 13-14. This list goes on.
Ojamajo DoReMi is a good example of a Toei series solidly aimed at a grade-school audience in a way that the Precure series are not, with all the girls starting out in third grade. It's cute and fun, and there's some tragedy in the mix, but it's not Precure.
Sure, Bandai and Toei work to sell tons of toys to the youngest viewers, but they also produce delicate figures that aimed at older collectors.
Take a look at the official character songs Toei produces for the series. Find a translation of "Macaronage of Love and Excitement" on youtube featuring Chocolat and Macaron, and then tell me it's meant for grade-schoolers!

This is the first Precure season I've watched and I've been really loving it! Imo I've liked this cour better since Ageha is a fun character and I really like her dynamic with Tsubasa.
Unfortunately I don't know if I'll be able to watch other seasons since I have trouble watching long shows and I've been watching this as it airs, but I'm glad I watched this season at least.
