I started watching Shugo Chara years ago (maybe when I was 13 or 14?) and stopped at around episode 98. And a month ago is when I picked it up again. And I'm so glad I did! I will admit, I skipped the first half of every episode because I couldn't stand it, so I honestly have no comments about that. But I'm talking about the /main/ thing here! So my rates are about Party, not Puchii Puchii. (Btw, those girls looked like they absolutely hated their jobs, lol)
I see that a lot of people dislike Rikka, but I honestly loved her. Even when she was annoying at times, I concentrated at her feelings! We can all relate to her wanting to be somebody, and hey, she even had self-hatred. Hiraku is also someone who I admired strongly in the show because of his strong development. Amu also grew up, and even Yaya. And I honestly was annoyed with Yaya in the past for being so... "I don't want responsibilities" type of kid?
Also, a lot of viewers are mad about Ikuto not being in the Party season. Well, at least he had a reason why, correct? Plus, he was mentioned a lot!
The only thing that really hurt my feels is that I didn't get to see a lot of things I was hoping for, but I guess that's okay.... (no it's not)
I'm trying to be spoiler-less as possible, but like I said in the beginning, this season dug deep into life! With Rikka's help, the show was able to make crystal clear of the lessons and morals of the episode (not every episode!). My personal favorite was the episode focused of Utau not wanting to change her singing style! Because that advice given to the X-Egg was extremely relatable to all and something that we always got to keep in mind! The most deepest thing was the symbolism of suicide near the end of the show. But I'm keeping that as a hush.
