>>36970Although I only really got into this with Hero Girl, I took a peek of Tropical Rouge and Delicious Party and would agree with you. But I don't think, if that's what you're suggesting, that Wonderful deserves to be written off. I think it's playing its strengths well.
To name an example, coming from the broader mahou shoujo world, the idea of hugging monsters of the week rather than blasting them into ether struck me as odd at first. Yet I subconsciously grew to accept it, to the point that, when the cat showed up and started beating up the poor garugaru, I was genuinely horrified. My point being that it has managed to find a niche that it fills well.
