Review: Season 5: Episode 1, The Lilo *SPOILERS*

I am soooo happy right now! Here's a head to toe review of my opinions, thoughts and everything else. :)

The theme song! OMG, I'm so glad they didn't use We Are Believix. Yes, it's a cute song, but it would not have worked for the Season 5 theme song. Siamo Winx is so much better, and did you guys SEE that 2D Sirenix?!! I am sooo loving it!!!
The Girl Power thing in the theme song was a little lame, but it still works really well. Loooove!

Alright, time for the episode.

I loove Mitzi's little sister. Cutest little girl ever! I loved when she threw the plant too, that was great. Her "Oooh Winx!" thing was little cheesy, but I don't mind. She is a little girl after all, right?

The Trix are better then ever now that they're back! They've gotten much more aggressive and violent.

Mitzi is SO awesome. When her little sister was being chased she went and got her scooter to help get her out of there, whether she agrees with her or not. I love how determined she was to get to the Community Garden too, that was sweet. She may not agree with her little sister about some of this stuff, but she knows she has to help her and keep her safe.

A little 'blaaah' about the Winx's behavior so far, tired of all the spells being sparkles and Bloom being cheesy as the moon, but besides they seem to be nice. I wish they'd add a bit more depth to their personalities though, that was something Season 4 was lacking as well. 

That part at the end where they flew down the rainbow? That.. was cheesy, but it was cute. I feel like it would've gone better elsewhere though, like at the end of Season 4. It was kinda weird to see it just at the end of the first episode.

I do hope we get to see them in Magix though, it was kind of lame how as soon as they got there they left and went back to Earth. :( Oh well, I'm sure they'll return soon enough.

Overall? loved it! It was great. :) There were a few things I didn't like, but they were minor things that I doubt will be a problem in later episodes.

What did you think of the first episode? Discuss in the comments! 

Edit: Screencaps added!

The New Season 5 Clips and Aisha's Photogallery

Looks like a lot of new Winx Club stuff is happening this week! Including the premiere of Season 5 this Sunday. ;) 

First, a couple of new clips of Season 5 have come out! BelieveInWinx and MagixJourney both posted them, so be sure to check out their blogs to watch the clips! I included a link to their blogs in that last sentence, so if you click the name of the blog it'll link you to it!

Here's my thoughts on the pair of clips.

The Lilo

Definitely a cute clip. I love that the Trix are back, and Stormy is so aggressive! She seems to have gotten more angry then last time, this time even roughly grabbing the little girl. I must say I'm kinda surprised she did that. Didn't think even a villain on Winx Club would be so gruff with a little kid.

Mitzi is awesome. That girl just rode into the public mall on a motorized scooter going who knows how many miles per hour. I hope she does more then try to steal Brandon this Season, since she's a great character. 

And is it just me or are the sparkle peace attacks getting a little old? Come on Winx girls, kick some butt! Don't just throw sparkles at your enemies, that's lame. You can do it!

Flora's Training 

I think I like this clip a bit more. It's more action-y.

That part with Flora thinking about Helia was SO cheesy though, my goodness. Whether you love him lots or not you don't need to start lovey-dovey telling the world about him during training.
At least it seems like she got the idea, since she did get blasted with water mid-speech.

Bloom's being cheesy, but that's pretty normal for her. Nothing abnormal going on here.
I like that it seems to be a bit more old-style for Winx. It's not quite as Season 4 as it is the other ones.


The other news of the day, is Aisha's photogallery is up on the Winx Club site! Here's a link to the Season 5 section. The images of her in this post are the images in the photogallery. ;)
 They're pretty average images, nothing amazing but they're not bad. A little disappointed they're not using her hair from the trailer, I loved it. :( It was so big and fluffy and cute!! This hairstyle isn't bad, but still going to miss that old one. They could've at least kept her visor from the trailer. I mean, they are using the fluffy hair and visor in advertisements, so why not use it in the show?

So what do you guys think of all this new stuff showing up? What do you think of the preview clips?

And be sure to tune in this Sunday, when Nick will be airing the Season 5 premiere of Winx Club! :) Don't forget to help get it trending this Sunday, as well!
