"Himari is a magical girl with a special interest in the science behind sweets! As a child she had a hard time connecting to other kids, who did enjoy want her infodumping about sweets, and this made her very shy and anxious. Luckily for her she later made friends with her magical girl team, who are all into sweets-making themselves! They all encourage her interests and goals and it's very cute. At one point she manages to shake off magical brainwashing all by herself with her new-found confidence. Also she is just the CUTEST and I love her."

"She cannot communicate with other people and struggles to fit in in both the literal and physical sense. Her special interest is street fighting and it's the only way she can get to be on equal footing with other people. She also misses social cues left and right (like when people hit on her it just goes over her head completely). She is a woman of few words as well and is pretty closed off. Bonus: she has a girlfriend and a gang of other girls that follow her around as she progresses as a street fighter."
still thinking about the day i bought a parfait (which isn't that common to eat in brazil and is kinda expensive) just because of pretty cure (kira kira and delicious party) and i hated it. it didn't had any FRUIT. IT DIDN'T HAD ANY COLOR. IT WAS JUST PLAIN BEGE AND BROWN.

Summary I guess: Ichika Usami is a cheerful teenager who has a passion for sweets. In celebration of her mother’s return home, she tries making a cake. She’s interrupted when a doglike fairy named Pekorin crashes into her kitchen. With Pekorin’s help, Ichika makes a cake. Then a creature named Gummy breaks into her kitchen, and steals the cake’s “kirakiraru”, the magic that gives sweets the ability to bring happiness. Ichika offers the cake to Gummy, but Pekorin reminds her how special it is. As the kirakiraru in Ichika’s cake grows, it changes into her transformation devices, and then Ichika becomes Cure Whip. She beats the crap out of the monster, and saves the day. It’s up to her and her friends to save Ichigozaka’s sweets.
Story: 3/10 - I found a lot of it boring, to be honest. It just...was? I liked the sweets theme, but it didn’t really carry the show. A lot of the drama felt forced, like it just kind of happened for the sake of the plot. The battles also sucked. What makes Precure so unique is the fact that the girls literally beat the crap out of those monsters, and not just use magical sparkly attacks. They just used whisk wands that let out whipped cream or chocolate? The only redeemable things were Himari’s character development and the romance between Yukari and Akira.
Characters: 5/10 - At least the characters were kind of fun even if they were generic. Ichika’s the generic leader type, Himari’s shy and into science, Aoi is into rock and is very out there, Yukari is rich (I think) and calm, Akira is androgynous and chill, and Ciel is forgettable I can’t remember a single thing about her. I think they worked off each other well. But they don’t really have any depth. And the villains actually suck. I can’t remember a single thing aside from the main big bad at the end just sucked. It was disappointing.
Art: 8/10 - The artstyle is cute. I like the designs. Sometimes the animation got really good.
Sound: 7/10 - One of my favorite endings is in this so that’s a plus. But that’s really it.
Overall: 5/10 - It’s ok, kind of infuriating. I wouldn’t recommend it.
I finished "Kira Kira Pre Cure A La Mode" like a month ago, and I have brain rot that makes a Miraculous Ladybug AU out of anything with an animal theme so here we go. I would label this more as a crossover tbh and even thought of my own rules to make it coexist in the Miraculous Ladybug Universe.
Ko-fi | Patreon
To start, they break a few Miraculous Rules: the Miraculouses themselves have no resemblance to the animal they're imitating, and their powers are closer to their Pre Cure ones, which are baking/cooking based. And the reason I have for this is that these are technically not Miraculouses and technically not kwamis.
They aren't the "Miraculous of [x]" representing a concept, they're actually fairies who desire to be heroes. As such, they're actually at odds with Kwamis and there's a bit of a feud between them - the Kwamis have always worked alongside humans and see the Fairies as reckless and violating nature's laws, while the Fairies see the Kwamis as hording all the fun and not even trying to bridge the gap between them.
I imagine akumas would start showing up in Japan in Ichigozaka, bringing out the six PreCure Miraculouses, and they'd eventually follow them back to Paris to have a showdown with Hawkmoth AND the existing heroes. While the kwamis and fairies are having it out, the humans are meeting in the middle.
Ichika uses Whipp to become Crème Fouettée (Whipped Cream), a Bunny Hero with the ability "Batter Up", which captures the enemy in a giant cake. It has the side effect of being able to extract an akuma, but it can't purify it.
Himari uses Flann to become Swirl Caramel, a Squirrel Hero with modified clacker/rope darts as a weapon and the ability "Cherry Bomb", which is pretty self explanatory.
Aoi uses Aisuu to become Glace Bleue (Blue Ice), a Lion Hero with the ability "Gelato Shake", which encases her fist in a block of ice for even more painful punchs.
Yukari uses Cookie to become Kitty Macaron, a Cat Hero with a spiked yoyo and the ability "Cat Scratch" which inflates the size of the yoyo and increases their strength, making them able to scratch through anything.
Akira uses Chocco to Chien Rouge (Red Dog), a Dog Hero with the ability "Chocolate Armose" which creates a chocolate shield.
Ciel "uses" RinRin to become Blande Volante (Flying Bands), a Pegasus Hero with the ability "Kiracle Rainbow", which fully purifies the enemy and all of the damage caused during a fight. (If you know you know)
