To be honest, I only tune in for the opening and ending music depending on the season, mostly the third and fourth seasons. I don't know who the targeted audience is, but I would not recommend to kids under thirteen....well I don't know if I would recommend it at all.
I'm not a parent but the outfits bother me a lot as well as the transformation moves they do when transforming. It's too sexual in my opinion. There is a complaint, that their bodies are too skinny and unrealistic. That isn't my problem. It's just the clothes. You want to make tall, skinny girls, fine. But put them in clothes that fit. They don't need to constantly wear things that show their entire midsection or as much leg as you can without showing their private areas. It's ridiculous. Even their boyfriends sometimes seem to wear clothes that can't fit them as you can see their stomach a bit. Not as much as the girls but it is another example that tall people seem to have a problem finding clothes that fit.
Which is ironic and hypocritical since there is a lot of talk about "fat acceptance" and how overweight people need to wear clothes that fit. Then it should apply to skinny people and that should show in cartoons like this.
For me as an adult, the show is not my cup of tea because I like romance and this show focuses on it as little as possible. There is a video of all the kisses in the entire series and it is only two minutes and not even what I would call a kiss half the time. So yeah no. Not for adults who are looking for something with depth. But at the same time for it to be aimed at kids seems inappropriate with the clothing and some of the problems the girls have relationship wise. I honestly think half of their arguments are ridiculous.
-Brandon is kissed on the cheek by another girl and Stella gets mad at him. -The guys go to help the girls find the last fairy and they get mad thinking the boys think they can't do something.
If anything, the only message the show sends is the power of friendship and girl power as the so-called specialists always seem to need help fighting as their girlfriends are the only ones with powers. So yeah I can sense a bit of a sexist thing going. On the friendship part it could be aimed towards girls, but the skimpy clothes, are you trying to make it appealing to boys too, or are you trying to show girls they can only fight wearing next to nothing?
