Many people dislike GoPri because of the princess themed plot, some say it's cringe worthy or bad but ... hear me out, this anime's target audience is mainly girls from 6 to 11 years old. So yes, no wonder that a teenager/young adult/adult would find this to be a bit to much for them.
PS: I loved this season, it was my entry point to the franchise.

→ ART & ANIMATION:
/→ This season has some of the best sakuga, fight coroegraphy that i've ever seen... but precure is almost always +-50 episodes so no ... every fights has that sweet sakuga, just the best ones (the EPs were a new precure appears, boss/sub boss fights).
/→ GoPri has some of the best transformation sequences that i've ever seen in precure/anime in general (at the time of writing this i've watched GoPri, Heartcatch, Kirakira, and recently started with Smile).
/→ Really strong designs for each of the precures, pre and post henshin, Kirara & Towa being my personal favourites.

→ OST / Sound: Not bad, OP was good enough, ED1: not bad, ED2: Great Song & beautiful CGI & i loved "Conditions of Being a Princess".

→ Characters: Every one that matters gets good enough development but you know how in precure every girl is always some sort of trope, that gets characterization but nothing mind blowing.
PS: Kirara is Best Girl.

Before diving into the Arifureta anime you need to understand that the production
suffered from the author not liking the character designs + other stuff, so whitefox
left studio Asread in charge of the animation just a few months before it started airing...
That hurted the production & animation A LOT!

→ Animation: Minimalistic in sense that there was some basic movement here and there.. but the sakuga & fight coreography was pretty much non existent.
_ The fanservice shots / animation was relatively good.
→ ... CGI: OMG ... hurts my eyes everytime it was on screen. Not only did not blend at all with the backgrounds but also the way the CGI was animated was the worst i've ever seen... & believe me i've seen better animated basic trashy MMDs on youtube.
→ Adaption:
"Animation & CGI" aside, Asread did not do a good job "adapting" this LN/Manga into anime at all.
They left out a lot of really important details & pieces of information that the audience needs in order to understand the plot& characters actions and personalities.

→ OST / Sound: Great OP & ED, the rest is pretty much forgettable.

Having previously watched go princess & Heartcatch, this season was so blatantly bad (script/direction wise) that i couldn't stop thinking about it while watching each episode.

Let's start with the "good" about Kirakira Precure:
- The precure character designs were great, specially post-henshin.
- The transformation sequences were mostly great ~! Chocolat, Parfait & Gelato had the best ones but the other 3 were good.
- The fighting style lacked impact but was as creative as you can get with a sweets related theme for a weekly kid show with a average budget as most anime get.
- ... Action Animation / Sakuga wise episodes 1~3, 5, 6, 12, 23 & 48 were the best kirakira had to offer.
- OPs, EDs & Insert Songs were really good and memorable.
- Yukari is best girl

Now for the "BAD" about Kirakira Precure:
- The friendship & sweet creation aspect between the precures felt so forced that i had to pause some episodes several times.
- The Villains motivations were almost cringe worthy sometimes + the execution that lead to their forgiveness was bland.
- Ichika's voice is almost asta's (black clover) level of unbearable from time to time.
- Ichika's personality and motivations felt a bit too forced (EP1 D:<)
- The fights (besides the ones that i mentioned in the good about this season) were so bland, boring and forgetable...
Who thought that attacking with cream, chocolate & all that cr*p was a good idea?
- Kirakiraru .... just hearing that phrase makes me cringe.
