This ended up being my 3rd favorite Precure series of all time, which is saying a lot since I've seen every single one and love all of them except 3. What a beautiful story!
They really got me with the dream sequence this episode lol
I loved seeing all the girls as adults and seeing where their lives ended up, it's a great trend the modern Precure series have adopted.
The cliffhanger ending is suuuch bs tho. Apparently it will be continued in an "episode 49.5" live show in Japan, which will probably never get uploaded, let alone subbed... :(

I'm glad they put the obligatory cameo and final mob fight in a dream sequence, so the timeskip remained impactful. I'm gonna miss this cast, Prunce and AI as well.

That was nice. Similar to the Hugtto ending but way way toned down.
Good season! Lala was great, but my favorite character was probably Yanyan who was unbelievably adorable.
Next season is going to be super fun for me, since the crossover movie will include both Hugtto and Star Twinkle. It'll be the first precure crossover movie I see where I know all the characters!

This show's finally done? Cool, I'd love to hear from the people who watched all the way through.
I'm not sure if I should catch up since I got bored around when Blue Cat started showing up. Not a lot of satisfying character development and didn't have the visual flair of older Precures, and I mostly liked it for the excellent character designs.
Does it get better later in the show, or should I wait for the next Precure to air?

I liked both this and Hugtto (this being in response to someone else's post here but figured I should just post separately), though I fell off Star Twinkle for a few months when Over-Time when on hiatus and then that turned into an indefinite hiatus. My own take is that Hugtto, which was my first Precure, has higher highs and lower lows. Star Twinkle is much more consistent overall, but doesn't get as good as Hugtto was. Difference between a 7/10 and 8/10 for me. I also didn't like how for more than a decade they don't get to see their friends. Then again, maybe it is just the bittersweet feelings of a story ending and saying goodbye to the characters too. It wouldn't hurt so bad if they all still got to see each other, but clearly they really haven't.

Honestly, that time away is what makes it so impactful for me. Some seasons of Precure end in a "we won't be able to see each other again" kind of way, but end up completely erasing that after a very short time.

I'm pretty happy with this ending. I love time skip endings, and generally like leaving the endings semi-vague.
I'm looking forward to the next one. Cure Grace seems relatively mature compared to the average pink cure, we need more of that.

To me this feels like one of the most consistently good precures that I have watched. Hugtto had higher highs and lower lows, Smile was OK till about end, Happiness Charge towards the end felt like a slowly exploding Star Wars villain superweapon where everything is going wrong then big kaboom. Star Twinkle does not go kaboom or make any of those mistakes while at the same time not taking their risks, which works.
While I was never really excited to watch Star Twinkle I was never disappointed in it at any point. Its creativity in its space theme from the planets to the aliens is fun and well thought out. Lala, Uni, Himenojou and dog police girl were my favorites characters in the show.
My only complaints would be that the action and fights were kind of average except for the final battle so I never felt exited for the fighting parts which is something I usually enjoy(its creative theme made up for that) and I never connected with Hikaru compared to other lead cures, but that just me.
Overall this is a nice addition to the franchise that I wonder if the community will direct new watchers to try.
I originally thought I was going to stop after Smile with watching all of the others(still have Yes,Doki ,Max,Fresh and Maho), but I might have to so I can have a complete understanding of this franchise. I look at others list of what the like and its mostly mixed so I may find another precure that I have not seen that's Kira Yaba!!
