I thought the new costume looks ....so typical. It's not bad, just real typical. The costumes from the generation before had it own little gimmick, it was actually pretty unique I felt. This new costume looks like random clothes that shoujo mangaka draws for the chapter covers. The costume doesn't look like 'battle costume', they look more like tea party clothes
The new mascots...look awful in my opinion. I best liked Pretty Cure 5 mascots, they actually looked cute. The new mascot...it looks like cotton candy with a baby bib.
I was honestly hoping for a new mahou shoujo series from Toei, since Sailor Moon lasted around 4 years, so did Ojamajo Doremi (which is probally one of my favourite series). Pretty Cure must have been more popular then, that Toei doesn't want to risk a new series.
I'll hope it'll be better then expected, at least the opening would be good...right?
