She has a high hurdle to clear coming after the killer combo of strangely popular green + nebagibaraba + extremely European business partners, but having the advantage of the Zundamon memes and the fact that stickers are super popular right now means that she already has a solid amount of interest before she even debuts.

I'm feeling kinda at fault for having lewd thoughts for Aoi while seeing her VA being so cute and happy on twitter. She just seems so much happy with her job that I want to cherrish her.

Also follow her, but don't feel bad in the slightest about lewding Aoi (sorry?), her singing stuff is cool.

The only seiyuu you shouldn't lewd is Himari since that's like lewding your own daughteru which is NG.I guess that logic would also apply to like Prizmmy but they're so old now that it doesn't feel the same.

y'know if they decided that 1 season was all it was getting then it was cancelled then this was a pretty good way to suddenly end series
but since it didn't, they leave this little cliffhanger with mizuki
wonder how season 2 story will go with a bunch of new girls

Very enjoyable 1st season. The first 10 episodes were rough and I was actually warned about that but they were still fun enough. But after that it did become better.
Fav idles gotta be the trio. Their interactions are always the best part of the episode.
Songs, I need to rehear some of them since they play some like twice while other times they played that Idol Activity song like 10 times in those first 50 episodes. 2nd half of 1st season it felt like they played a new song every 5 episodes. And the other 4 was performing the S2 OP and ED or some older. Not an issue but I thought it was odd.
Speaking of songs maybe it's just me but Aoi looked sad in this part of song when performing.
>>
>>287471909
The beginning of season 2 is one of the most baffling moments in the history of little girl anime.
They got too blind by the need to shill the new girls and went overboard.
Eventually it gets good again and S2.
>>
>>287472042
Glad you enjoyed it! Setting aside some dedicated listening time is a great idea, the full versions of some songs can give a different experience and you might have a different perspective on the earlier songs after hearing them again.
Are you gonna take a break, or hop right into S2?

I was actually warned about that too but I'll survive with some weird decisions. I already decided to watch until the end anyway. S1 was a really cute and fun daily watch so shilling some new girls S2 hopefully doesn't become a drag.
Actually I want to start Aikatsu Stars too. I think it's recommended to watch Stars after the original but
I'm sure it's fine. I think some people watch Stars without watching the original season anyway.

I expect everyone who watches Gundam to go and watch the original show.
Showa Rider is a bit different, but on the other hand, it's aged like fine wine when you look at modern kids shows like AiPri. If you enjoy the latter, you can enjoy the former.

I do get what you mean, but the thing is that I am in fact watching these older /ai/ shows in the hopes that I will eventually catch up. Luckily there's nowhere near as much of them to watch as Kamen Rider which would probably take an eternity to do.
Anyways,what the hell is wrong with all the adults in this show, why can't they just be normal supportive people instead of some kind of manipulative assholes or whatever

Looking back, I kinda feel for Yuzuru for being abused by his boss for the audience's entertainment
Speaking of Yuzuru, it was heartwarming for him to be included in the group photo in the ED where they all hang out. It goes to show he's an important part of the team. That ED was so good because it depicted the girls as normal girls doing normal things instead of wacky anime characters.

I've been thinking about OnePri and I began developing the tentative theory that Aoi has low self-esteem.
In episode 1, when Inori first enters the AiPri Verse, she sees AiPri Aoi and says she looks cute. You'd expect a popular idle to be used to it, but Aoi stutters and says "Thanks" with a somewhat shaky tone of voice. I thought that maybe she finds it difficult to accept compliments. Will be taking note in future episodes when someone compliments Aoi again.
In episode 2, Aoi invites Inori to talk at Meganee's secret cafe. The first thing she asks is how Inori felt being an AiPri, she says she likes it, and the way Aoi replies feels like she's relieved to hear that. Perhaps Aoi had been worried and thinking about it a lot, since it was her who made Inori become an AiPri.
After this and an explanation segment, Fortu asks if Inori would like to join the Wish Granting Squad. Inori replies energetically that she does. Aoi interrupts them right after that, to warn Inori that trying to grant people's wishes isn't an easy thing to do. Inori smiles and says she's going to do it anwyay, surprising Aoi. By the end of the episode, Aoi talks about Inori's directness, and says she might need it to achieve her own dreams. Aoi might be somewhat insecure.
This might be just hallucination on my part, but I had already thought of commenting on Aoi's reluctant-seeming thanks when episode 1 aired too, it really caught my attention. With episode 2, I was thinking about it throughout the episode. Maybe it all just means nothing though, who knows.

I hear you, it's a catchy part. Both Inori and Aoi seem to be good enough at singing, but it'll be interesting to see how they do with voice acting as the show goes on.The gigantic powergap between Himari and Mii when it came to emotional acting was almost distracting at times, wonder if there will be another gap again or if they both will fair well.

There is a hangable Fortu you can buy to carry just like Aoi, but it is actually a bag so it looks like you murdered Fortu and now carry her corpse around using it for storage, which is kind of a dismal prospect... but ignore that and purchase it ainon!

I have a theory that Fortu is an evil entity who was trapped in a plushie and forced to fulfill wishes as punishment and Aoi is her jailkeeper, hence why Fortu is genuinely scared of Aoi inflicting great violence upon her. Something like Yayoi and her plushies if you watched dark gathering.
>>
>>
>>287503264
Fortu has mysterious residual memories from a past life of seeing a plushie getting hit repeatedly by a scary blue girl, but she can't quite picture what either of those characters look like... this has left her with a subconscious fear of blues.

As evidenced by this other toy, Aoi also ties Fortu's corpse to her mic during lives to intimidate the other plushies into absolute obedience, her live shows are meant to inspire fear, not joy. She seems like a very sweet girl but in reality she is a hardened, merciless, and cruel tyrant that rules over the plushies with an iron fist.

Well, you have to be somewhat autistic to walk around with a plushie strapped to your body all the time when you are already in middle school, so both Aoi's have many things in common. Hopefully the similarities will stop there and wont extend to being a jober whose only purpose is to get humiliated and give little boys a ryona fetish!

My big problem with those 2 is nearly every episode about them is about just them. They feel so divorced from the rest of the cast aside from Koharu and Asahi occasionally being a part of their lives.
>>

Aikatsu Stars is genuinely the peak of the modern little girl anime aesthetic.
Good designs that stand out, cohesive pleasant colors, above-average drawing consistency and animation, etc.
Just look at something like Aikatsu Planet, Primagi or Onegai AiPri, it doesn't hold a candle. Even some modern Precure seasons which look good still don't hit the same sharpness of Aikatsu Stars.
It's like comparing a top Ferrari to a middle-class car.

Nah, OGkatsu clears the rest of the Aikatsu seasons in terms of visuals. The rest of them leaned so much into pastel/neon colors like they were terrified of using any default ones. Which is a real shame because some of the OGkatsu characters like Aoi and Juri have some excellent hair/eye colors that didn't translate well when they had to co-exist with others in Aipare. Some like Sumire and Nono/Risa looked like aliens that season too.
>>
>>287511080
The OGkatsu characters not being adapted well to the Stars artstyle doesn't mean the Stars artstyle is inferior.
It's just a situation similar to early Jojo parts being drawn by modern Araki, the modern style is not bad but it feels weird to see familiar characters drawn differently.
OGkatsu looks good, make no mistake, but Stars has more unique character designs and art direction that puts it a step above.

>Inori and Aoi meet a girl who is looking for something. She is Tomosaka Gumi who in the same class as them. She said she had lost a sticker that was very dear to her. It’s a one-of-a-kind sticker that her younger brother and sister gave her for my birthday. Inori and Aoi are asked to "Please help me find it!". They begin their search together to fulfill Gumi's wish but the sticker is nowhere to be found...

Imagine having a date with Aoi; you could hold her hand and listen to her boyish voice all day, you could hug her and have her lean her head on you shoulder, you could just be chiling reading and cuddling together under the shade of a tree and then fall asleep there, you could help her select which coords look better on her, you could just go to a cafe and tell each other about your day, you could shove a red hot barbed steel rod up Fortu's ass together, you could simply be together and enjoy each others warmth. Imagine how it would feel to be totally accepted as you are by such a beautiful girl like her, have complete trust in her, love her very much, and be loved equally as much in return. Every ainon deserves to have an Aoi gf.

Stars was peak compared to the mid series AiPri that you guys keep worshipping and pretending to be hyped about.
Even a mid Precure season is genuinely more engaging than the few episodes of AiPri and Onegai AiPri that I watched, I'm baffled how far the Pretty series has fallen, hell even Meitantei has more of that high-gear energy that
Pripara/Prichan used to have even if it's not an 1:1, it's at least it's not a sedated visual novel with a boring ass direction with close-ups of the characters standing and talking from the bust and up with minimal funny faces and expressions.
Pretty used to be goated but the Punirunes staff ruined it, now I have to wait another half decade for it to get a different staff, kinda annoying.

Bait aside. Not that I particularly disagree with this in particular. But 2 of my friends kind of liked the start of AiPri more. There's kind of a more clearer and natural flow that makes it so much better to watch initially on storyboard and series composition that Pripara's maximalism.
What AiPri really sucks at is right at the end of each season. Every little problem implodes into itself in there and it becomes a really big mass of whatever that last cour of S1 was that Chii and Dark Chii started discussing about Effort vs Talent when none of these words were ever mentioned directly even once but just popped up to serve as a callback for Pripara S2.

I meant directly mentioned as in the exact wording itself.
The build up from how they wrote down some stuff is really good and runs well for mostly of the series.
The thing is how when it comes down to facing it straight on, the methodology changes into solving with a straight line because they got no time to properly make anything flows well and providers a catharsis. It's about it.
>>
>>287517215
Honestly the climax failling to deliver was a Primagi problem as well but it happened at the end of every arc/cour, the plot had a hype build up but then kinda ended in a normal non-dramatic way unlike Pretty Rhythm which typically had good climaxes as well.
It's a bit of a recurring problem with modern kid's shows, some of the most fun I had was actually with movies like Precure All Stars F or Pokemon movie 21 (The Power of Us), maybe because they were concise short experiences, in comparison the long-running stuff has a lot of enjoy but I miss that satisfying catharsis from stuff like the DMF finale, the Pripara finales, Aikatsu S1 finale, Go Princess Precure finale, Kamen Rider Blade or OOO's finales, etc. The 2000s and 2010s was a special time for japanese kid's anime...

Primagi is probably passable because of the possibility of we having a new season later on, or something...
I frankly thought the final was kinda fair, considering the development was a bit of a clusterfuck and Jennifer is the most uninteresting main character from the franchise somehow.
But now you mention it, not even PriOke had a satisfying final, even though everything fits well, really... so maybe you have a point
