So, the trailer finally dropped. I am so excited for this season. The animation is GOREGEOUS. I’m a little put off by some moments of character design, such as Stella holding Twinkly, but everything else looks amazing. It still feels like Winx, just a different version of it. I’m super hyped to see Valtor in his prime and everything this season has to offer. The only thing I outright dislike is the Specialists. They look like completely different people, almost childlike. The Winx were able to retain their age in this new style, but not so much for the guys.

I also like Bloom’s new voice but I will miss Haven. Nevertheless, Emily fills the spot quite well. Almost seamlessly.
