Kirakira☆Precure A La Mode

Cheerful teenager Ichika Usami has a passion for sweets that is inspired by her mother's baking. In celebration of her mother's return from overseas, she tries her hand at making a cake herself. She is interrupted when a dog-like fairy named Pekorin crashes into her kitchen. With Pekorin's help, Ichika successfully bakes her cake. Only then enters an imp named Gummy who bursts in and attempt to steal the cake's "kirakiraru", a magical power that gives sweets the ability to bring happiness.

Though Ichika initially offers her cake to Gummy in order to protect Pekorin, the fairy helps her realize how important the treat is and the love it represents. As the kirakiraru within Ichika's cake grows, it changes into a set of trinkets that transforms her into Cure Whip, a hero known as a Pretty Cure. Using her newfound powers, she goes on to battle kirakiraru thieves whenever they appear. Ichika fights to protect Ichigozaka's sweets and finds colorful new allies along the way.

honestly, it's very wholesome, I really really love it. The characters are very lovable and this season as a whole really cheers you up no matter how you're feeling.
its main motif is desserts and animals, it's a very cute theme and really has an unique aesthetic to it, making it pop out more than other precure seasons in my opinion, the songs for the opening and endings are great, the voice acting,animation, character design and storyline is just magnificent.
if you're just starting and don't know where to begin in this rabbithole, i really recommend watching this season first, or you could always watch them ... in order! one thing is for sure though, this season is not for everyone, a lot of people don't like it, others like me do. And that's totally fine. I really recommend it though because it really stands out and isn't as repetitive as other seasons, plus, it teaches you how to bake some pastries. <3

Mixed Feelings

The first Precure season I ever hear about , I did not know it’s was a cooking season about delicious sweets with a animal motif too , it’s another non violent season of Pretty Cure , also I know this season exists because of a King of the Hill meme , is it worth to watch ? Maybe , the season is about villains taken away the sweetness from food by taken their taste away , this feels like a Shoujo Toriko ( Also by Toei Animation ) the animation looks as good as ever , the characters are cool to look ... at , the plot is simple , I still don’t know how to cook sweets , Kira Kira Pretty Cure a la mode is a Precure season with a theme of cooking , and wanting the food to be the very best food ever , the villains are okay too , the ending is just another Precure ending

I've watched everything Precure-wise up to this season so I am quite familiar with the Precure formula.

Visuals: considering this anime is from 2017, the visuals feel dated and not polished at all

Audio:
1) nothing special about the soundtrack
2) unlike 99% of the Precure seasons, this one decided to cast unknown seiyuus for the main characters and 2 or 3 legends for very minor roles. The only exception was the casting of Fujita Saki as Yukari. The cast performance wasn't bad or anything. I just think it's a fun trivia fact about this season and wanted to share with you.

Story and characters:
1) ... This season mixes two completely unrelated themes: cakes and other sweets with animals. Why? Probably because they couldn't decide which one to go with so they ended up doing both at the same time. It just doesn't make sense;
2) Honestly, if we look at the Precure timeline, we go from legendary warriors to legendary witches to legendary... cake bakers that are furries when some magical beatdown is necessary. Nothing wrong with furries and nothing wrong with bakers but why mixing these up with the Precure franchise?!
3) The intro for each episode is way too repetitive to be enjoyed
4) There's only one good thing about this season when it comes to character development and it's something new compared to the entire Precure franchise: we have LGBT characters and an actual relationship!
5) At the end of most episodes, there's these quick video-tutorials about desserts and cake decorating. However most of them feel real repetitive.
6) Plotwists, scenarios, characters, villains, powers, ... everything feels like we've all seen them before so unfortunately I wouldn't say there's much worth watching in this Kira Kira season.


It's a 4/10 for me.
