I read like, part of the Jupiter story in the side M game, and that made me like Jupiter.

They really don't get a chance to do much besides be dickheads in say, the idolmaster anime. Even after they leave 961, they only really show up for a few seconds to make Haruka feel a bit better. Twice, even.

It's amazing what more than 30 seconds of characterization'll do to change your opinion.

I like how what I thought was the ED was actually just "nah I'm gonna go grab the rest of them real quick."

Good idolmastering, I'm glad the huge ramen made a cameo

It's pretty uncommon because idol ages skew younger so it doesn't make sense for them to have had a different job, certainly not one that they've already sunk years into. It feels like SideM leans on that factor harder than the others anyway, though.

Isn't it actually a section on their bio? Side M seems proud of the wide array of careers they've snagged people from. Whereas in everything else, there's maybe a throwaway line about how they were a dancer or model or something. CG in particular seems to be pretty big on snagging people from other idol-like jobs.

Y'know, when you're not talking to random children in parks or whatever.

I’m pretty sure Ritsuko used his real name the first time around so he can’t really hide it.

Besides, that’s still better than Kaoru always walking around with a scalpel in the game, because that’s the portrait they went within for him. It’s funny that teru is always on the phone, it’s worrisome that kaoru is always waving around a scalpel.

I haven't even looked at the new pripara yet. I understand it has a rice cooker.

I also have like, half a week to go through a month and a half of aikatsu, to be caught up for what should be the christmastree felling episode.

Can't wait~

On the face of it, it sounds amazing. It's idols, but on ice skates. Plus the usual weird nonsense of pripara.From various people's cherry-picking on twitter, it's even more

On the other hand,



Kinda a hard sell. Aren't there like, four or five different series by now?

I've rambled enough, but I enjoyed this a lot, and I'm excited for season 2, which is already 40 eps in. I believe Stars is scheduled to end entirely in 10 more episodes...

It gets even better~

I mean, there's still plenty of stupid poo poo and stuff that feels a bit like wasted time, but that's fine when you have an entire year to roll with. Also yes, RIP AiStars. On the plus side, I'm sure they'll a) end it properly, and b) this means none of that weird "we swear Ichigo isn't the protagonist anymore, but we're gonna sorta sideline the new one for half a year" sort of thing they did with OGkatsu. A clean break means no grooming some random underclassman to become the shiny new protagonist, after all.

Yume and Laura have a very close friendship/rivalry, but you gotta have pretty strong goggles to see the yuri. Until the movie. The movie abandons all subtlety.
You don't need goggles if you take mezashite's translation of her catchphrase on its face~

Here's a PV for the new Aikatsu.
They've also put up the game machine MV for the debut song. I always forget how weird the game idols look compared to the tv ones.

Also, more Aikatsu, focusing on Dream Academy with Seira's sister as the main character.

There's also new aikatsu in the autumn, on actual tv instead of the internet. I don't really get why, but apparently that's important to people on the internet, based on the responses to the dream academy thing being a web anime.

That's a horribly difficult question.

That said, Akari (and her set) are probably my favorites, so I absolutely wouldn't fault you for just jumping ahead to them.

Similarly, I didn't like what I've watched of Friends. If I were advising myself, somehow, I'd probably say: "Watch S1, S3, S4, Stars, S2, and then whatever the hell."

Don't take this to mean S2 is bad, because it isn't. But from what I remember, it's very jokey. It's also very reliant on "partners," but it takes its time to get there.

More importantly, Akari cute, Akari puts in the effort.
Akari is Hoshimiya Ichigo.

S3–4 is probably my favorite Aikatsu, period.
