User blog comment:Aijihi/Least-Favorite Pretty Cure Design/@comment-25315805-20170317154640

I have a tough time deciding whether Mahou Tsukai or Happiness Charge has the worst cure designs, because both of them are unappealing (in my opinion) for completely opposite reasons. I feel like HaCha doesn't do enough, and MT does way too much.

In HaCha's case, the designs were extremely bland and samey to me. There wasn't enough variety between the cures outfits, and while I really liked the navy blue/black vest from a technical standpoint, I feel like that really hindered the ability for these outfits to seem unique. I think HaCha made a really big mistake when it comes to the cure's hairstyles as well, because Lovely, Honey, and Fortune wore their hair in nearly identical ways. This really added fuel to the fire that is my opinion that HaCha felt way too simple and uniform in terms of design. (Also, don't even get me STARTED on the makeup, it just did not work at all >.>)

With MT, the complete opposite happened. It's a really rough case of over-designing to the point where it's just tiring to look at. I'm not saying really detailed designs can't work, I mean, take Suite for example; the outfits were very detailed and intricate, but the main difference between the two is consistency. In Suite, the design elements all flowed very well, and though each of the cures did have unique outfits, there was a lot of repitition that helped make the cures feel like a team. In MT, that was all thrown out the window. There were very few minor details that tied the girls' uniforms together, and not to mention, the designs were extremely tacky (there is such thing as too many accessories). That combined with the very odd color choices in some cases only hurt the outfits even as standalone designs.

The only cure in MT that I think looks good as a standalone character is Cure Felice, mainly because the motifs and shapes used in the design mesh very well with eachother, she has a clear floral theme going, and the color choices were easier on the eye (I love the way mint greens and teal look).

(and whoOPS look at me writing really long responses to things again ><, I really gotta stop running my mouth!)
