Yes.
Is it great for a PreCure season?well...
Don't get me wrong I love the show from its characters to its art to its characters Wonderful PreCure is a strong entry in the Pre franchise ...but there are two main thing that need to be addressed .
1. Combat or lack there of.What makes PreCure such a unique franchise in the magical girl genre is the combat.The high budget fights with lots of kicking and punching are simply missing in the Wonderful show.That is because in this season they are not fighting villains of the week , but corrupted animals and no one wants animal violence .That aside the community in my opinion is overreacting . Yeah its sad that we don't get to see the girls fight but the battle scenes are for now really well animated and fun to watch and I'd take that any day over a season with bad fights (DeliParty)
2.The show works really well as a Slice of Life anime.As i said the characters are fun , the jokes are really clever and cute without going into the usual "Baka neee im a tsundere now ill beat you up ,im so quirky bleh" humor thats been seen in most animes for the last 15 or so years. But as an action magical girl anime...no not really . This season takes a new approach to the season formula and they don't reveal the villains of the show like they have done for the past 20 years...in fact we are 15 episodes in and we don't know anything about the villain of this season. I get that its supposed to be a mystery but other than a shadowy figure we have gotten nothing .It makes the main cast look like they are just running around aimlessly which doesn't help by the fact that it's a pretty silly season as well.
overall it is fun to watch and its more enjoyable than a lot of other precure seasons but its got its own bunch of issues
Art:10/10
The artstyle is really cute but the colors take the CAKE. Lately weve been seeing precure start using more subtle colors leaving from the really bright and contrasting colors seen with the release of Smile precure that made a chain of seasons that looked like a flashlight but in wonderful precure they managed to make the show look so cheery while using darker colors (and yes some scenes do look bright like the attack and transformation ones but its for 2 minutes not 20)
Animation:7/10
It could have been and 7.5 but the opening seemed so off at the start i had to take a 0.5 points off. To the average consumer it might look average but we have to remember that they make the episodes in a week ...a week . Again the fights are fun the characters rarely go off model and the cgi ed looks amazing.
Character: 8.5/10
I don't want to spoil anything but the characters are really relatable and fun to watch.My only critique would be that sometimes they don' take things seriously when they should.
Plot:4/10
Don't get me wrong its really fun but there is a big lack of any direction going on at this point...
