Perché queste stagioni sono magiche (Why These Seasons Are Magical)

1. Outstanding theme songs such as Under the Sign of Winx, We are The Winx, Winx your Magic Now.
2. Wonderful anime-esque animation and character designs with CGI animation.
3. Terrific voice acting in German, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian and English.
4. Likable characters, such as The Winx, The specialist, Mrs. Faragonda, Mrs.Grizelda and many more.
5. Amazing plots.
6. Very good soundtrack.
7. Iconic OST.
8. At times in the show it centers on Bloom and Stella's relationship as they are best friends.
9. Fantastic stories such as Bloom’s quest to search for her birth parents in the first three seasons.
   • From the following seasons, thanks to Bloom, things have positively now gone this way, especially for her parents and sister Daphne reunited together.
10. The Cinélume dub is considered to be the best out of all the English dubs. Reasons is because it follows the exact translation of the original Italian scripts and it is completely uncut without edits or censorship.
11. Season 3 is considered to be a fan favorite, thanks to Enchantix and Valtor.
12. Lots of interesting villains such as the Trix, Lord Dakar, Valtor, and the Wizards of Black Circle.
13. The Winx Club themselves are diverse in cultural backgrounds (Bloom, Stella, and Tecna are white Italians, Musa is Chinese, Flora is Latina, Aisha is Afro-Italian, and Roxy is Irish) and have memorable appearances.

Cattive qualità (Bad Qualities)

1. The show doesn't resemble anime to begin with. The drawing style of the characters is completely different compared to the eyes and bodies of anime, and they look more like western cartoons.
2. Speaking of unrealistic, the character designs were criticized by some for being anorexic and raising body image issues, despite the art style being faded on fashion sketches.
3. Some people find it cheesy.
4. The show went downhill since it's revival in 2011.
