I really liked how Fresh addressed the idea of the Cures having to struggle to keep their personal hobbies (dancing) while still balancing their responsibilities as Precure. A lesser show would have told them that they should give up on having any kind of social life so they can wander the streets all day looking for monsters (Obligatory Madoka slam!) But instead, they decide that their passion is just as important as their duties, and manage to find a compromise.

I also felt like the monsters in Fresh were among the more creative, with unique and unexpected powers, like the one that can erase things from reality or the hilarious wig monster. It made the fights interesting in a way that a lot of the more recent seasons haven't had.

And speaking of Passion, wow the Setsuna arc was really great. The final fight between Peach and Eas, the utterly chilling "Eas will die soon" thing, and her revival as Cure Passion, where she doesn't immediately join the team. All of it was just beautiful. The only ugly part was Miki barging into an emotionally wounded Love's room and YELLING at her that her friend Setsuna never existed and to get up so they can head to the fortune teller house. That was probably the only thing in Precure that ever legitimately angered/disgusted me.

Then of course there's the finale. I can't say that I've ever seen a Precure finale done better than that. I loved how even the supporting cast like Tarte had an important role in changing things for the better. The finale concludes everything of value in a very satisfying way except for one thing.... we never found out what the deal was with Kaoru-chan, the doughnut settling guy. He had a focus episode about being a secret agent, which was WEIRD, but other than that, nothing.
