Introduction
Im by no means a PreCure veteran but my first and current favorite season was Kirakira PreCure a la Mode. I think Kirakira did a great job at using desserts in the show as a metaphor and really brought home various ideas about selfworth especially through hobbies that others might consider useless. And so I was really very excited for DeliPa and curious as to how they would use food as a vehicle to communicate the central message.
There are a lot of things to like about this season a great cast great designs lovely art style and wonderful music. Unfortunately DeliPa refuses to follow through on any of its themes until the very last moment. But well get to specifics on that later. For now Ill be giving an overview of various things I liked and didnt like. Ill be spoilering every section just to help condense things for ease of reading.
Character Designs
Characters
In the interest of organization Ill go through character by character although some characters I have a lot more to say on than others.
And that brings us to how these problems coalesce in the form of the main plot.
The Kingdom With No Cooks: Or How the Story Fails
This obviously contains heavy spoilers.
Maybe this is a little harsh for a kids show review. But I truly believe there could have been something AMAZING here in this season. Something about the complicated relationships people have to food. Something about how the things that make us happy dont always make other people happy and what we can do to understand eachother better. Instead we got a story that is superficially about food but fails to really bring any of the deeper themes it raised to a satisfying conclusion.
10/10 for Rosemary fabulousness 5/10 for satisfying plotlines. 65/100 overall.
