Winx Club

I've been addicted to Winx Club since I first saw it on Nickelodeon. Ok, I'm 28, but so what? It is SUCH a relief to have a girl-led show that has action and adventure instead of just cutesy fluff. You know those kinds of "girl" shows, where there are no stakes and everything's sunshiney and happy? Well, Winx Club is the opposite of that, guys. There are menacing villains, like Valtor and the Wizards of the Black Circle. There are a lot of Nick stars who do the voices, too: Liz Gillies (aka Jade on Victorious) does the voice of Bloom's sister Daphne, and Ariana Grande (aka Cat on Victorious) does the voice of Diaspro. One thing to know is that every season has its own story, so you should try to watch the episodes in order, to understand what's going on.

I really like this cartoon, it is a break from reality which it was meant to be. I liked that the plot line, and fights had story line behind it, and that it went into the characters backgrounds/ family situations. Even though they were revealing outfits, where aren't girls portrayed that was, and bashing them because of that, your bashing every other cartoon not made in the dark ages. It's good that it shows girls that you can be this pretty thing, yet still be strong. In response to the other commit look at any girl in a cartoon no matter what age they are meant for and they look really hot, even if in reality things were different. Take Disney's Pocahontas for example, no way was she 13 in that movie, like she was in real life. No 13 year old looks like that, so what? Guys don't look real either, what guys do you know have muscles like that, and perfect hair? That's the whole point of a cartoon, to not be real people, and take you to a places where everything can be pretty, even ugly things. ~

I love this cartoon for its surprisingly good action. The more negative reviews here seem to be about the terribly mis-managed English localizations of the show. Apparently, the show was originally done in Italian until 2010, when Viacom/Nickelodeon started producing it. So for the earlier episodes (seasons 1-2), there are a few different, almost unprofessional-seeming dubs from random studios...and they censor/reduce all of the layered characters into the same dumb stereotypes. Yikes!

Avoid these 3rd-party dubs and watch either the Italian episodes or the newer Nickelodeon ones (both overseen by this show's creator, Iginio Straffi). It's a really fun watch and my favorite character is Timmy (Tecna's boyfriend).

Despite what some people might say, this is a cute show! I just started watching it yesterday when it premiered on Cartoon Network, and I have to say that it is interesting! It might be a little predictable, but I think that if you like magic and fantasy, you could probably like this show. The characters consist of Bloom, the main character from Earth, and her friends Stella, Flora, Musa, and Tecna, who are her roommates at Alfea. They keep running into Icy, Darcy, and Stormy, who are senior witches from the Cloud Tower school for witches. Bloom and Brandon (a guy from Red Fountain) like each other, I think (I just started watching this show) and well, it sounds kind of cool! I'm 15 years old and it might be a little juvenile, but I think that this show will be a fun show for anyone to watch.

I was curious about Winx Club when I first heard about it.It didn't show where I am so I did a little research.I didn't know what I was expecting so I decided to wait for it to premiere on tele.I was surprised in a good way.

Winx Club is about a girl named Bloom who discovers her magical powers while saving Stella,a fairy who has magic of the sun and moon.Stella suggests to bring Bloom to a school called Alfea where fairies learn to control their magic.There Bloom meets Flora,a fairy who's power is based on flowers,Musa,a fairy who's magic is based on music and Tecna,a fairy who's power is based on technology.Together they join to form the Winx Club to fight against Icy,Darcy and Stormy,three senior witches who go the Cloud school(forget name).Bloom also meets Brandon,the nicest warrior of them all who she falls for.At the school,Bloom's goal as a fairy is to discover her past and the origin of her powers.

I personally believe that Winx Club is a decent show.Most of it is unoriginal yet there are some plots that have magic of their own.Brandon and Prince Sky switching identities for security reasons and to see the world in different shoes was original.I believe the powers are also well thought of.There is one thing that disturbs me though.They make some of the girls too perfect.They're all super skinny and their fashions and battle outfits make them look like sluts.The fairies all make it seem like fashion,boys and good-looks are the most important thing all girls should worry about.Stella has the most powerful ring in the Magical Realm and it's a target of the witches to steal and she doesn't want to wear it because it doesn't match her outfit.In most hero/heroine shows,the writers would never do that.I really don't like Brandon,Prince Sky,Bloom and Stella.They just seem like the way all girls should act.The romantic pairings also fail to have any depth.Brandon is just made to be this macho,handsome prince charming and Bloom is made to be this little-miss-perfect supposed role model for young girls and they're both just paired off.The only pairing that interests me is Riven and Musa.Riven isn't Mr.Perfect and is distant around everyone yet Musa the deep and understanding girl seems to be drawn to him.I believe that the animation is superb and the characters all have good personalities but the episodes are usually about Bloom and her past,the witches trying to steal Stella's ring or cause havoc or about fashion and beauty.In total,I rate Winx Club a 5.5/10
