"She's not wholly good"
...Pardon me? I get saying "Hikari isnt a saint/a paragon" but this is extremely odd to say about a young girl? And I didn't even love Max Heart lol. Also the whole "Brainwashing is okay because it was done before" is also weird. Wisely, the one other season to do the brainwashing plot did it WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better, I wont spoil it though |

Max Heart will forever be that weird transitionary period where Toei was bombarded with Precure's success and had no idea what to do with that. They'd already awkwardly grafted an extra 23 episodes onto the last season, so where do they go from there?
So it's no surprise that under those conditions the end result they came to was the first season again but worse. A bunch of the same plots but executed worse (give us another interchangeable lacrosse episode), worse villains, worse animation, worse pacing, stagnated main characters just going through the same motions without going anywhere, etc. Special mention goes to probably the worst MacGuffin search in Precure history, where most of the time the heartiels aren't even connected (thematically or otherwise) to the narrative and just collect themselves instead of the cures having any part in it or even acknowledging they exist. Even Hikari adds so little to the show because she has the vibrancy and character of a piece of drywood (and the show's idea of a big mid-season climax for her is to have her stare at her "brother" for a couple seconds), while we were graced with Pollun but somehow worse with Lulun. Even though they improved in various places with the next sequel series, I'm glad they eventually washed their hands of this concept outside of bringing teams back years later for single cour reunion shows. |

Yeah it's...it's fine, but it's really clear even early on that they were rapidly running out of ideas for what to do with these characters and this cosmology. Fortunately, they came up with the idea of a rotating cast after this.
