Without the nostalgia of being a kid in the 90s, this show is, uh... phew. A real pain to watch. It's fine that many things wouldn't make sense, considering it's a kid's show, but... the general IQ of the series is a good 40 or under. Character development... nope, a plot that grips you and draws you in, no way. One dimensional characters, repetitive episodes, boring monsters, superficial and brainless ideas of love, bfs, etc., or any concept of life really. Lack of sense and logic in everything that occurs, such as the sailor soldiers being unrecognizeable for one... All I can think is, whoa. This was not made by story tellers. It sure isn't like Disney where you can understand, relate or gather something from the story as an adult, nah, this requires an ignorant, very imaginative child's mind to believe, make up for and fill out all that lacks of character depth, background and plot arcs. What draws you in is simply the graphics, the blingbling, the sparkles, the girl band like strong female characters, the pretty accessories, the cuteness, the childishness of it all... but anything else, flatter than a pancake. And the fillers, my god. Endless torture. If you cut the story down to actual content, you'd probably have a good ten episodes worth watching, if at all. I'm sure that's gonna upset many a nostalgic fan, but.. it is what it is.
