Hanazuki: Full of Treasures

Hanazuki: Full of Treasures (also known as Hanazuki) is an American animated children's series produced by Titmouse, Inc. for Allspark Animation, a division of Hasbro, with Stephen Davis of Allspark and Chris Prynoski of Titmouse serving as executive producers. Made in conjunction with a line of Hanazuki toys, it is based on characters and concepts which were developed by Hanneke Metselaar and Niko Stumpo before Hasbro purchased them in 2010. Set in a fictional galaxy comprising countless moons, the series follows Hanazuki, a childlike being called a Moonflower who uses her emotion-based powers to protect her home from being obliterated by a dark force known as the "Big Bad".

Plot
The series is set in a fictional galaxy of moons that is beset by the "Big Bad", a black, inky miasma that drains the life and color of anything it touches. Each moon is protected by a Moonflower, a plantlike humanoid who uses their moods to activate magical "treasures" that are supplied by an infantile being named Little Dreamer, which can then be planted to grow trees that ward off the Big Bad. The series opens with Hanazuki, a newly born Moonflower, arriving on a moon populated by numerous denizens, including colorful rabbit-like creatures called Hemka. Several episodes focus on Hanazuki and her friends' escapades as she learns about her responsibilities and emotions, ending with her growing a colored Treasure Tree that corresponds with her mood in that episode. As the series progresses, Hanazuki encounters other Moonflowers that have failed at saving their own moons and seek to learn from Hanazuki in order to properly harness their powers against the Big Bad.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The series' concept is ludicrously idiotic and doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
 * 2) The Flash animation is pretty lackluster at best. The Flash animation feels like something from a Cartoon Network show.
 * 3) The designs of the side characters are rather bland.
 * 4) The voice acting can sound bland and annoying at times.
 * 5) Depending of your view, the 2nd episode of the series, there was a scene where Hanazuki cries after she accidentally flattened the Blue Hemka, which is very emotional, due to Jessica DiCicco actually crying during recording.
 * 6) The lip-syncing is way-off.
 * 7) Some of the characters are detestable in this show.
 * 8) * Hanazuki is a bland and weak protagonist.
 * 9) * Kiazuki is a generic, Butt-Monkey character who acts like a jerk to Hanazuki.
 * 10) * Kiyoshi is also a notable Butt-Monkey.
 * 11) * Maroshi doesn't do much but surf with the Flochis.
 * 12) * Miyumi is a Chinese stereotype.
 * 13) * Little Dreamer, The Hemkas, the Unicorns, the Flochis and the Sloths, who can only speak gibberish (similar to the Teletubbies), can also be pretty annoying and useless sometimes. They are also very stereotypical.
 * 14) * Sleepy Unicorn is the laid-back one who does not do much but sleep all day.
 * 15) * Dazzlessence Jones is the vain fame obsessed type who is very overhyped in a manner similar to mh:greatcharacters:Sebastian from mh:greatestmovies:The Little Mermaid and mostly just sings his lines.
 * 16) * Zikoro is a dog who is useless other than Kiazuki's pet.
 * 17) * Doughy Bunington is a typical self-proclaimed hotdog who is obsessed with sweets.
 * 18) * Twisted Unicorn is a clichéd villain for Sleepy Unicorn.
 * 19) The intro animation and the backgrounds are mediocre at best.
 * 20) The logic in this show makes no sense. There are also a lot of animation errors.
 * 21) A lot of useless filler that only exists to pad out the episode's runtime.
 * 22) In the last episode of the first season, Kiazuki become emotional and starts crying because Hanazuki gave her an emotional hug, which is the saddest part of the finale, but it can't be due to the voice acting being bland and annoying.
 * 23) This series is very short-lived, as it went on a long hiatus after its cancellation in 2019. In 2020, the CGI animated spin-off series on Netflix was announced, thus implying that the 2D animated series has been cancelled.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The designs of the backgrounds are very nice and colorful.
 * 2) Catchy theme song.
 * 3) The 8-bit background music is decent, and it sounds like it's from the 1980s.
 * 4) The designs of some characters may look kind of cute, especially for Hanazuki Herself and the Moonflowers.
 * 5) The art style is decently creative, similar to mh:besttvshows:The Amazing World of Gumball.
 * 6) While the short film is decent, Season 2 is a very small improvement.
 * 7) Hasbro eventually learned from their mistakes from this series.
