Love your videos dude! I grew up with this show!

[@eddog6666]

Winx club premiered in 2004. yes season 1-4 are hand drawn but from season 5 onwards they started adding in CGI. basically the plot is this: Bloom is a normal earth girl who one day discovers a fairy and unlocks her fairy powers. Stella(blonde) invites Bloom( red head) to attend Alfea(al-fea AH) college for fairies. however there hasn't been an earth fairy for centuries( this is false but is explained in the show) so when the headmistress and the school disobedence teach find out Bloom is from earth they realize something else is going on. it starts a mystery that lasts three seasons. Griselda: I though there has been an earth fairy for centuries? Faragonda: That is true. Griselda: What about Bloom? Faragonda: Who knows. but the question is Who is Bloom? ( this question implies Bloom may not be from earth) Flora( light brown hair with pink skirt.) Musa black hair. Tecna Purple hair Layla/ashia dark brown hair.(season 2) Roxy Pink hair with orange tips( season 4

And then season 6 is where it starts to go a bit downhill

The plot holes, more so in later seasons, do my head in but at the end of the day it’s all part of the charm of the show. Within the first few seasons it isn’t as bad as it starts to get in season four lol. The whole Morgana stuff makes no sense to me but a kid I like ate that up hahahaha

[@SimplymeSVEN18]

@@Sunray3000 Personally I found Fate enjoyable enough. The worldbuilding and story made more sense there and seemed more realistic imo. They also listened to their audience and improved where needed based on the feedback they got which is fairly rare nowadays with most series. It wasn't perfect, but few series rarely are in their initial season and they already showed great growth/progress in season 2 so if they'd gotten the chance I think season 3 would've turned out quite nicely. My biggest issues with the cartoon mainly focus on the fact that the three schools supposedly crank out numerous guardian fairies, specialists and witches yet seemingly have no alumni cause whenever something goes down an entire planetary kingdom can only muster up a handful of guards that's usually just in the royal palace itself. Where are the armies? Where's the guardian fairies that graduated the last decade? No wonder just about every random bad-guy can waltz in and take over Domino, Solaria, Andros etc. Just makes it seem like there were none and Alfea doesn't deserve its reputation. Even Bloom and Stella meeting makes little to no sense. Why would Radius send his only heir off-world without an escort to keep her safe... But yeah as I said it gets a lot worse after season 4.

[@jadenkochan7424]

Each of the 6 girls has a transformation for each type of transformation. The different transformations enhance their combat ability while also being useful in certain situations. Like the harmonix/sirenix ones enhance their ability to fight under water, the snow and jungle ones were to aid them in the environment they were exploring, and the first 1/2 transformations were their starter forms, with enchantix being their level up to their base form (think like a Pokémon evolution)

If you listen to the lyrics it'll usually tell you the name of the transformation. It's been awhile, but if I'm remembering correctly the reason that same song kept playing over and over was because they all got their enchantix transformation at different points in the series

[@moiramontoya1023]

Yeah, to earn their Enchantix transformation each character had to sacrifice them self for a person from their world. So they all got it at a different point in the season.

[@akersorken97]

Yeah, the songs absolutely incorporate the names of the transformation (except the very first one) but they allso (at least in the movies) tell you a bit about the powers if you listen carefully. Like in belivix "all you gotta do is believe in yourself and everything will change" which is true 'couse they can't get their belivix powers unless they can get people to believe in them, to believe in fairies. So their are always hint.

As a kid, I would mostly go to my grandma’s house during school breaks, and I would secretly watch Winx solely because I found the aesthetic colorful and fun (which is why I emphasized “secretly” as, back then, I felt I would get teased for it). Granted, this happened early in Nickelodeon’s partnership with Rainbow - I think Season 5 - where the series began to slowly decline in quality, but with how many new plot lines they added, I couldn’t keep up with the series enough to critique the later seasons’ problems until now. There’s a reason why the first three seasons are the peak of the series (I miss OG Valtor; hopefully, Season 9 exceeds my expectations)

[@justblue3150]

It started as Italian hand drawn animation they called the rainbow style, each fairy has a different specialty. Each season they earn upgrades to their powers and a new transformation. One of the best shows it was still being made but I don't know if that got stopped again. There have been multiple hiatus and songs change depending if youre listening to the og or the nick version when they had it. There's 8 seasons, 3 movies, and two spin off shows. They start at a college for fairies and become a club that fights evil in the world even after they complete school.

[@user-dj7hg4yt5v]

Yes, their clothes ARE materializing and made of magic. Honestly the wings are the only thing that has effect on them, some wings are meant for swimming or flying faster or spread magic dust that purifies disease/ curse etc. As the years went by, the approach of the creators towards the show changed, For the first 3 seasons it was drawn by hand with just a little computer effects. After season 3, the script gets really messy, they changed details randomly and changed the characters' whole personality and at the same time stopped hand drawing the animation. A lot of fans of the show stopped watching anything that comes after season 4 cause it became trash honestly, I think they changed producers or something. Bloom- fairy of the dragon flame Flora- fairy of plants Stella- fairy of light Musa- fairy of music (she has a cool stereo magic that kinda makes the enemies bleed from their ears lol) Techna- fairy of technology Aisha- fairy of water Roxy (pink haired girl that joined at season 4)- fairy that can communicate with animals and command them.

[@naolucillerandom5280]

Oh it was a mess. They changed producers, directors, writers, animators, and CONTINENTS.

I watched the first two or three seasons in Dutch and still to this day I can sing the lyrics to the opening song of season 1 word for word. And you're right it does have some fight scenes, kid friendly fighting of course, but still fun. The girls you see go to a all-girls fairy school. They are learning to control and use their powers, becoming stronger and with more varied powers as the series goes on. Which is why the transformations change over time. There's also a school for male-fairies (the dude you saw with the big sword is one of them) and there's kind of an evil school too with my three favorite villains in kids TV maybe aside from Jessie and James from pokemon.

Winx Vlub is an Italian animated show released in 2004. The Winx Club would be this group of girls formed by six fairies, all with different powers. The show was born in the Marche region of Italy, but quickly became famous all over the world. The word "Winx" is inspired by the misspelling in the Italian pronunciation of the word wings.

[@Kiterpuss]

Also, in the English version of the show has a scene in S1 where Stella describes "winx" as something akin to your individual charm. It was implied to be related to one's magic and self confidence too.

Finally, something I can blab about! Fairies and Witches can transform in-show in order to use their magic more efficiently and flexibly. Each fairy and witch has a magical source, whether it be something classic like the elements or something more obscure like Layla's morphix. While witches don't have explicitly stated forms beyond the basic one the fairies do. First one, Magic Winx, is the basic form every fairy has. The second one, Charmix, is gained when a fairy overcomes a great personal difficulty and it serves as a power booster (in the Nickelodeon dub, which condensed S1 and S2 into 4 one hour specials, Charmix is the name of the base form, with the original charmix not existing). The third one, Enchantix, requires a fairy to save someone from her homeworld and show great sacrifice in doing so, as well as requiring Charmix. Enchantix not only strengthens them but also gives them access to fairy dust, which can negate dark magic, heal and allow them to shrink. These three are grouped as fairy levels. Beyond them are higher fairy levels. The only one explicitly seen was Believix. Believix (and likewise other higher levels) require Enchantix to have been reached. Believix additionally requires a fairy to make someone believe in magic. Essentially it is similar to Enchantix but it additionally grants them three super wings (Speedix=Faster flying, Zoomix=Teleportation, Tracix=See into the past) and they can also receive the gifts of destiny, two of which count as sub-transformations: Sophix and Lovix. Sophix brings them closer to nature, Lovix more or less serves as a protection from the cold. It also grants them special "healing powers" which allow them to get in touch with people's hearts and strengthen their belief. Afterwards we have acquired powers, which as you may have noticed are situational and more uniform. In S5 there is Harmonix, which allows them more versatile magic usage underwater as well as allowing them to breath under it. It serves as a temporary one until they reach Sirenix, which is more or less the same, except it allows them to access the infinite ocean and gives them a special sirenix power each. In S6 first there is Bloomix. It is born of the dragon flame and requires them to show an act of courage in order to earn it. The second one is Mythix which requires the mythix wands (which likewise need the fairy to prove themselves before them) and allows them to enter the world of fairytales, The Legendarium. In S7 first there is Butterflix. It requires them to prove themselves as the ultimate protectors of the fairy animals. It brings them closer to nature (Similar to Sophix) and grants them a special nature-related power each. One downside is that it cannot harm nature itself. Second is Tynix, granted to them by their fairy animals. It allows them to shrink to microscopic sizes in order to enter the miniworlds, as well as giving them each a unique power based on their fairy animal. The video doesn't include Cosmix (gained in S8, basically just allows them to breathe and fly in space) and the transformations from the spinoff, World of Winx, Dreamix and Onyrix. A few curiosities: The word "Winx", originally, was something Bloom just came up with to call their little group. In the 4Kids dub, however, the Winx is stated to be the magical energy each being possesses. The 3D transformations of Enchantix and Believix were used in the movies. 3D Sirenix is used in the infinite ocean (2D is used elsewhere), and Mythix is seen solely in 3D, as it is likewise only used in the legendarium world. The additional fairy you've seen with the villains is Roxy, the fairy of animals, who is an occasional 7th member introduced in S4.

Matthew calling the "Dragon Flame" a "Fire Axolotl" was hillairous 😂

[@cass4464]

Yes, the first few seasons are handdrawn! There's some 3D elements in the show since s1 but more for landscapes/wide shots. The power of charmix is just nickelodeon reanimating the first few seasons (making terrible cuts in terms of story). Also yes! They're fairies and the first 4 seasons are INTENSE Edit: just wanted to add please check out the movie soundtracks and the winx in concert music videos

Just letting you know, the one you liked with the drums has a full version with lyrics ("Winx, let your power shine"), and the Enchantix song got an official extended version in 2021* that is just epic. You could also listen to all versions of the openings (the original italian, 4kids, Nickelodeon) as well as the endings (particularly the English version of "Superheroes" ;) )

The first three seasons are literally the foundation of my childhood! There are different dubs, and some of them even change the order of scenes and the plot. They have many transformations during the show, kind of like upgrading every season. Enchantix is a fan favourite!

Here's each fairy: 1. Bloom, fairy of the dragon flame 2. Stella, fairy of the sun and moon 3. Musa, fairy of music 4. Flora, fairy of nature 5. Tecna, fairy of technology 6. Aisha, fairy of waves I hope you react to more Winx stuff!

I was obsessed with this show. For like 5 years of my life I would watch it constantly, while almost pulling my hair out with Riven and Musa's rollercoaster of a relationship. And feeling I would retire before Sky and Bloom's wedding Also, Enchantix, in my eyes, is the best transformation. Not only for the looks of every one of them (except Bloom, they did her dirty) but of the whole "sacrificing yourself" thing you had to go through before achieving it

The 3D ones are because they’re part of the Winx movies which are in 3D while the entire show is in 2D! Also the “axolotl” is a dragon as Bloom (red hair) is the fairy of the dragon flame! Stella (blonde hair) is the fairy of the sun, Flora (brown hair) is the fairy of nature, Musa (blue hair) is the fairy of music, the fairy of technology is Tecna and the fairy of waves is Aisha/Layla (she has two names depending on dub)!

[@MathewMcKenna]

[@thethingwithfins]

Well I suppose if no one else is going to provide the context it falls to me. Synopsis: A group of young girls who are able to use magic/transform into fairies, they attend a school for fairies go on adventures. Yes sorta super-hero vibes at times like you mentioned. Layla/Aisha (the one in green) was added in season 2 so thats why she wasn't with the original group General questions: 1. Yes the clothes just appear, its a magical transformation (they do actually show in at least one episode that it is actually instant, the transformation scenes are purely for the audience. 2. The source of their powers are "light magic" slash individual things for each of them (Bloom for example being the fairy of the dragon fire, which is a sort of primordial force of creation for their world. Or Stella being fairy of the sun and moon) 3. Yes they can use the wings to fly, no they cannot fly without transforming, however they do have some magic without transforming. 4. Yea we get one song per transformation usually and everyone uses it, everyone gets new forms so we can sell more toys (That was apparently the point of this show... sell toys). 5. Each transformation basically equals a power up typically, or has a very speciffic thing they need (for example harmonix was needed just to use their powers underwater, Sirenix and Mythix were both needed to go to particular plot locations) 6. They be fairies fighting monsters and solving problems Context: 1The original is well just the original transformation song 2 this is followed up by charmix which yes was them just getting accessories as a "temporary booster" to their powers 3. Then we basically repeat the original transformation with the addition of charmix song cause the world loves "The power of charmix" its a bop and nickelodeon had just started airing the show so they used that song for the base transformation/changed things around to call the base form charmix (IDK if they kept the booster thing I didn't watch at the time) 4. Enchantix was their hyped up "Final transformation" aka the original peak of what they could achieve as fairies. Getting their powers to maxium strength and as you may have noticed yes a few girls looked half dead or fully dead. This was because in order to obtain enchantix one had to perform an act of "True Sacrifice" and save someone from their homeworld (yes there are multiple planets in this setting. Think a combo of scifi and magic, also probably relevant to mention that 3 members of this group are also princesses. Bloom the redhead in blue, Stella the blonde in orange, and Layla/Aisha in green). Hence explaining why the situation looks like shite. 5. Enchantix but 3d cause we're doing a movie, with a new song 6. Believex cause we decided to do another season and needed new toys for merchandizing. Still a bop though. I do believe it was intended to look more earth-fashion like cause this time they were actually spending the season on earth (this is the first season after they technically graduated from school) 7. Believex but 3d... not sure if this was for a movie or the tv show personally. Card effect probably just to show them all at once 8. Still believix this form was weird and had like 3 or 4 sets of different wings that did different things Standard, Zoomix(teleporting), Sophix (Plot required nature wings), Lovix (Plot required cold weather wings) Yes I am pretty sure Lovix had something to do with Christmas 9.Harmonix, ok this one is a new transformation. Also again a bop, we love our transformation song singer. This was a temporary transformation they need for plot. Cause apparently after season 2 we lost the ability to use normal transformations underwater (again we needed to sell merch apparently) 10. Sirenix is the dedicated guardian of the oceans transformations so yep... Merch and this is why they needed Harmonix to go on a quest to earn Sirenix 11. Sirenix but 2d... we don't know why they can't pick a style and stick to it. Song is still a damn bop 12. Bloomix, they basically all lost their powers but bloom cause she main character energy and she shared her powers with them giving them all a dragon/medical themed transformation 13. Mythix, its a fairytale style transformation, we needed it for plot 14. Butterflix, this one is ... where they really went downhill. Nature themed transformation, this one is heavily butterfly themed for some reason no idea why. In additon outside of what you showed there is Tynix (Basically a crystal upgrade to butterflix) and Dreamix (Dream themed), as well as Onyrix (upgrade to dreamix I think) and Cosmix (space themed)

I used to adore this show, especially Stella - it's what got me into the magic girl genre from a young age. And no, their clothes aren't magical, it's just a fancy wardrobe change that comes with the whole magic-girl-transformation format. I would love to see you watch some of the PreCure transformations, particularly from Star Twinkle, where you actually get some singing accompaniment! Also, I'll never see Bloom as anything other than the Fairy of the LAVA AXOLOTL ever again XD

[@tsuyuasui7297]

Even tho i stopped watching the orecure franchise after Hug-to precure era.

The Winx are fairies. When they transform, they can harness their abilities to the fullest. As they grow as fairies, so do their powers. Each Winx member has a specialty. Bloom - Fairy of the Dragon Flame, Stella - Fairy of the Shining Sun, Flora - Fairy of Nature, Musa - Fairy of Music, Techna - Fairy of Technology, Aisha - Fairy of Waves.

generally when a new song starts, it means a new wave of transformations! the first wave was their base forms, the brooches and pouches were a boost transformation, the third thing was just their base transformations reanimated (so you were right, nothing changed, they just redesigned flora), and then it was enchantix and all the rest. just funny to see the confusion haha

[@roiitzkovich4545]

This show is a strong recommend. I knew about the show since childhood, but never really watched it until I was 20. So nostalgia ain't a factor for me and I judge it from an adult viewpoint. It's true that there are some "oh that's a show for kids" moments, it has a little something for everyone (yeah I totally quoted that IGN guy). The settings are unique and fresh (especially when compared to other shows with magic), the worldbuilding is rich and full of interesting and memorable locations, the story is fascinating with many layers, the characters are compelling and offer a great variety of personalities and there's some good action scenes here and there to remind you that you're watching an Italian anime. Also, the season 3 villain is unironically one of the best villains ever in an animated show, rivaling even the likes of Bill Cypher and Azula. Give the show a shot, I believe you won't be disappointed.

[@fanninagy479]

the times the music didn't have any lyrics, they were special transformations, only featured for like a single episode, and some transformations did have a lot of specials, like believix around 12:00 , you can tell by how similar the transformations are. There was a song written for each transformation otherwise, so you'd know which ones are the same ones by hearing the same song at the matching ones. Well done with guessing Butterflix! ^^

[@mikrokosmosatiny4349]

OMGGGG You don’t understand how excited I am to see you finally react to Winx club. This show is quite lottery my childhood and was hugeee hyperfixation for years.

[@dulangakekulawala5775]

1) The reason there were sometimes multiple transformation but they were wearing the same outfit and it was the sameish song was because it would be another version of their power or they got some kind of power up. So for example the little pin and bag in the start were like a boost of power. 2) they are a group of 6 fairies and they each have a different power, they always have their power in them but and they can use it without transforming, but like you said transforming just boosts their power and gives them their full ability 3) the reason for different transformation is because for each missions they go on they have to face different enemies and to be able to fight those different enemies they get powers that specialise in that specific task (the element or og power they have never changes tho) for example 17.32 they got this power in order to be able to fight and easily move around underwater since their enemy was underwater so your right the long dresses did signify tails 4) Winx is their club name and all of their transformation have names that end with "inx" (for example enchantix, believix, sirenix, harmonix etc) Hope this answers some of your questions!

So I don’t know if anyone explained it already but here you go: This show is about a club of girls who are fairies. In the first show there are 5 girls and from season 2 there are 6 girls. The girls are indeed fighting villians in every season different villians. The girls call themself Winx Club. The girls with their superpower: Bloom (red haired): fairy of the dragon flame Stella (blonde/ yellow haired): fairy of the sun and the moon Musa (blue haired): fairy of music Tecna (pink/ purple haired): fairy of technology Flora (lightbrown haired): fairy of nature Aisha or layla (darkbrown haired): fairy of the waves > she joins after season 2 About the 2d en 3d, there are 3 or 4 movies about this show the movies are in 3D. Also in season 5 some scenes are in 3D.

This Italian show is about a group of girls from various different planets who go to Alfea to become fairies and learn magic. In later seasons, they learn how to access more advanced transformations and get Pixies as companions. The guys are from the sister school which trains guys to be knights/heroes. It also houses the boyfriends of each of the girls. They deal with issues ranging from mean girl witches, to dark lords who want to take over/destroy the universe. Main character is the redhead Bloom, from Gardenia(aka Earth).

[@stephaniec3022]

Winx Club is a children's animated series that started in 2004 and originally aired in Italy, and many consider it our childhood. It's in the genre of magical girl anime (which includes popular media like Sailor Moon). Personally, I love seasons 1-4 in the RAI English dub (the Cinelume dub). When Nickelodeon bought the rights, they redubbed the original series, and kinda ruined the series from season 5 and onwards. But, I still enjoy rewatching the first few seasons occasionally. You could react to some of the fight scenes, especially with Valtor in season 3 or the Trix in seasons 1 and 2.
