First things first: this anime is all about normal girl/women ageing and de-aging into magical girls. However, the only transformation that was not a cheesy poof is precisely the only one without any age changes.
But today, I was proved wrong in episode 11. There, we can actually see the second transformation sequence of the entire series, and one where there is actual body-shift.

Given the phisiology of the original girl, I would say this is a slight age progression if not a general body improvement. And yes, I am aware of the "budget" they used for the TF. But given how little content we had over this whole season...it's better than nothing.
There is a nother character with a less ambigous transformation Swim-Swim.

There is a brief wake-up sequence featured in this same episode, where we can see a clear before/after with an attempted yet cheesy process.
This opens as well the posibility for an improvement in the animation in a VERY hypothetic blu-ray release, and squeezing and overthinking things a bit, the inclusion for some more TF sequence of the girls remaining the most popular among japanese surveys. But those are just matpad levels of speculation. Time will tell...
