Introduction
Hikaru Hoshina is an energetic middle school student with a love for space and the occult. As she draws constellations in her notebook, a small and fluffy creature suddenly appears from it! The creature, which she names Fuwa, turns out to be an alien with the ability to create warp holes.
When Fuwa's companions, the aliens Lala Hagoromo and Prunce, arrive on Earth, they declare that they are searching for the Precure, legendary warriors who will save the universe. But an organization known as the Notraiders soon follows and attacks, intending to capture Fuwa and its power. Overcome by a desire to protect Fuwa, Hikaru finds herself transforming into "Cure Star," one of the Precure that Lala and the others have been searching for!
It is now up to Hikaru and the rest to fend off the Notraiders' onslaught, discover the rest of the Precure, and find the Star Color Pens, artifacts that will awaken the 12 Star Princess who keep the universe in balance.

This season is space theme of course , Star Twinkle Precure , is it as good as Hug Tto ! Precure ? Yes , actually is just as good , the plot for the 12 zodiac Princesses with our heroines are about to journey to space battling with the alien villains too , they got some bumps down the road , with characters interacting with selfs , and some of the villains also got the spotlight , the plot twist is somewhat out of nowhere if you don’t know the zodiac all that well , this is a Shoujo Saint Seiya , maybe a modern Sailor Moon ? Highly Recommend this season of Precure , also this is the season with the Mexican cure Cure Soleil , the ending is pretty warming too

To someone unsure about where to start with Precure, I feel that Star Twinkle is a good place to start. It shows a lot of the franchise's strengths without really specializing in one area.
Star Twinkle has a fun overall cast. Each character is given ample screentime and development. No cast member is the BEST Precure character but they play well together...and then there's Yuni. I never really felt she enjoyed hanging out with the group beyond serving her needs. Which is fine for a character except during the moments we have to act like we're close. But disregarding that, Hikaru and Lala are a very fun duo, and Elena and Madoka are as well. Precure lives and dies on the chemistry between its leads, and I think Star Precure has enough likeable traits among them. Initially I was a little pu…

Just so you know, I've watched every Precure-thing up to this point.
Visuals: animation is okay but I really liked the character designs. Also, Puff's original design is way better than her evolution
Sound:
1) strongly dislike the casting choice of Hikaru
2) here's a fun fact: most seiyuus are very experienced and some fo them have worked together on past projects
Story and characters: 1) my expectations for each Precure season are always low because they've been pretty mediocre for years but I had a pleasant surprise with this one because I liked more episodes than the other seasons
2) I was invested in the season up to the 11th episode. Then it repeated the past seasons' mistakes: repetitive combat, unimaginative storylines, too many episodes
3) I liked the ending
This one is…

The Precure franchise has been one that I have been struggling to get into for quite some time. My main issue always stemmed from its repetitive nature and monster of the week format that kept causing me to lose interest in each entry. But now having finished Star Twinkle, I finally understand that the series can be far more meaningful than this.
Compared to the other Precure entries, this one has an outer space theme which immediately intrigued me. I generally enjoy stuff with space travel and themes about constellations and this show uses this concept well. The bulk of the show features our main characters traveling from planet to planet gathering star color pens. What impressed me the most about this was that despite there being 12 pens total, the process of obtaining them did not feel…

Star Twinkle Precure to me is a very controversial place to be in the Precure franchise. I even went through a bit of an identity crisis in what I am seeking when watching shows I love during the season's running. While this season has definitely become my favorite season in the show, claiming that it's the best season would be quite a bold statement.
Story: 7/10
Star Twinkle is, unfortunately, an example of a brilliant idea with subpar execution. Although, I very much enjoyed the first half of the season (Recovery of the Star Palace arc). This season had quite a nice dynamic between the Cures and seeing their early friendship is light-hearted. I also loved the space exploration twist of the se…

This is just gonna be an abbreviated version of a review, because I'm honestly pretty surprised that people are giving this season such high scores.
This season is kind of a garbage fire and falls into the exact same pits as Kirakira does
Good Points:
+Character design is on point; all characters read well and their costumes are gorgeous
+Art direction is overall super solid
+Transformations look very nice (at least half of them), and they SING during it, which is way too catchy for its own good
+Speaking of music, it checks out! Has some slapping tracks just as with the previous seasons since they share composer And that's honestly really it, now-
Bad Points:
-Characters don't really have any development during the show at all. They kind of tease you about it sometimes, but in the en…

K to keep it short;
Star Twinkle was a good series. At points, I did find myself forcing my way through it though but honestly was worth it. (I love you so much Lala)
The story was good but by no means incredible. At points I had an "oh god is this gonna be like Mahou precure?" feeling. But heck it's a kids anime about a girl who loves space and uses imagination.
Precure art just gets better every season and Star Twinkle is no exception. It's beautiful.
I have all the endings, and the opening downloaded on my phone. AND COSMIC MYSTERY GIRL IS A BOP. LIKE JFC WHOEVER WROTE THAT WAS A GENIUS.
I loved all the girls and characters but there was definitely a lot more thought put into Lala and Hikaru over the other 3 girls. I only really started to care for Madoka and Elena near the end. And…

New year, new Precure, Star Twinkle gave us a new entry to this wonderful series that while I personally didn't enjoy as much as others, it's still well worth checking out.
The story starts when Hikaru Hosnina, a cheerful girl who absolutely adores space and stars, one day, to her complete surprise (and excitement, damn she's excited about it!) A rocket suddenly lands close to her, inside is something that will change her life: an alien named Lala together with the two mascots of this entry, Prunce and Fuwa, who are searching for help to save the universe from the villains of this series. Soon after Hikaru becomes a Precure, bringing a start to this story of massive scale.
One of the highlight from this entry is Hikaru and Lala's friendship and development they go through due to their co…

Ahh, Star Twinkle. The anime that could, but didn't.
After the ambitious Hugtto, Star Twinkle certainly had a tough act to follow. However, with the theme of imagination being advertised, one could expect something incredibly grand coming out of it. However, it... Just didn't happen as expected.
Unlike Hugtto which pushed limits of its own genre by virtue of celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the PreCure franchise, it appears that Star Twinkle has decided falling back to the tradition. While tradition's a safe bet and makes Star Twinkle fulfill the role it was meant to play, there's little that's outstanding, here, which makes it doubly ironic when the overarching theme of the season makes it imply otherwise.
Let's crack down on the details.

Warning: Spoilers!
Why is this franchise still around? I’m not being facetious here, I genuinely want to know this. This was a franchise built on friendship and cool fights, and now the cool fights are gone, the friendship thing has less weight each time for some reason, and the quality of the previous two seasons was nonexistent. Meanwhile Aikatsu is on its last legs, despite being a far better franchise. How unfair.
But this isn’t the topic for that. Welcome to the Star Twinkle review by everyone’s favorite caustic reviewer.
Star Twinkle is a step on the right direction compared to KiraKira and Hugtto, but only because when you hit the bottom there’s nowhere to go but up. The plotline is simple enough: the universe is gonna be destroyed unless our plucky heroines gather 12 Star Pens a…

Oh gosh, i'm crying. This is definitely one of my favourite precure series.
First of all, i loved every character. Hikaru is crazy, funny, sweet, a nerd with the love for sci-fy, horror movies and above all space and constellations. She wants to meet other people, know other people, explore, imagine, she wants to investigate her own imagination. She's a one of a kind.
Lala/ Cure Milky is one of the best precure in the entire franchise. She's an alien from the planet Samaan, and as soon as she open herself to other people and to her new life on earth, she decides to learn everything about terrestrial culture, language and traditions. She's shy, sweet, introverted, with a very big heart, ready to protect other people, but also very insecure, with low self esteem and always looking for others…

Star Twinkle Precure delivers a beautiful collage of art, music, and emotions that comes together to form something really special!
The show follows the main girls on a galaxy spanning adventure, effortlessly switching between whimsical exploration, and slice of life comedy on one hand; and relatively dark and emotional stories involving loss, anger, and isolation on the other. All without missing a beat.
The art is superb. The science-fiction designs feel fresh while comfortable, and the diverse settings of interstellar space are exploited well. But the standout is the character designs, especially Lala (who i'll return to) . The transformation sequences are STUNNING, amazingly cute and graceful and the girls also sing while transforming which is beautiful and releases so much pent up e…

When deciding how good a series like Star Twinkle is you've got to think: are you comparing it to other Precure series, or are you comparing it to anime as a whole? I won't sugar coat it, compared to some other Precure series Star Twinkle isn't as good. But in the end it's still Precure. It's fun, it has cute girls, it has action, it's really easygoing and heartwarming and will make you laugh and cry. On the spectrum of the entire medium, Star Twinkle is great.
Hikaru is really cute and it was a lot of fun going on a fifty episode ride with her and the other girls. Seeing different planets was really adventurous and fun. Back on earth you get the typical episodes of people resolving their social issues which can be very relatable at times. There were some really awesome villains, Kappard…
