I just finished HappinessCharge! Thanks for the recommendation!
This was the perfect season to watch after Futari wa, it was absolutely amazing.
Having Precures be world-wide superheroes was a brilliant move.
I loved seeing someone like an adult Masukomi covering Precures on the actual news.
I loved Megumi wanting to be a precure for pretty shallow reasons, and Hime not really wanting to be a precure for pretty deep reasons. The contrast made them an amazing pair and got me hooked already at episode one. And the season just never stopped delivering on new sources of excitement. I loved the Precure Hunter and Unlovely. I loved Fortune's arc. And then they pulled out a well-forshadowed love-triangle and amped it up to 11 by adding in Hime crushing on Seiji. And then they baited the Precure Hunter's redemption. And baited redemption for all the generals. And had Yuuko travel the world to help people. And had Dark Tender appear. And revealed that Mirage herself was a Dark Cure. And then they delivered Mirage redemption way earlier than I expected so they could fully focus on Seiji's love for the Christmas episode and give that plotline the impact it deserved.
Oreskii is a top-tier general. The mid-season finale was also top-tier, as was Lovely's solo fights. I wasn't expecting to be so blown-away by a season this late into my Precure run (futari wa made me think I had burned out), but HappinessCharge really charged me up.
What should I watch next? I've watched:
Splash Star -> Five+Go -> Heartcatch (best!) -> KiraKira -> Go!Pri (best!) -> Tropical -> Fresh (very best!) -> Smile -> Mahou ->Doki (best!) -> Wonderful+StarTwinkle -> Hugtto (best!) -> Suite (best!) -> Futari wa+Max Heart -> HaCha (best!)
Remaining shows: Healin' Good, Delicious Party, Hirogaru Sky
