Nor greed nor fear can tear our faith apart
When every heart-beat hammers out the proof
Thatidle timeitself is miracle enough.This scene was pretty cool.
>>158752799
I'm happy that I'm not the only one who was pretty hyped about Super Idol Time.
>>158752893
I thought it was great as well, much better than the super cyalume coord scenes from S3. I also liked that it was Falala singing Yui's song.

See this, what do?
>>158753418
Wonder who that is.
>>158753418
Ask her where the other, superior members of S4 are.
>>158753460
Not Ichigo.
>>158753418
Tsubasa was underappreciated.
>>158753495
She sure isn't, but that's okay.
>>158753492
She doesn't beat my favorite S4.
Surfing Ichigo.
Where do you sleep?
I love Otome's squeaky voice.
>>158753667
On the floor.
Sumire NTRing Akari is my favourite /ai/ fetish.
That hat is more distracting than doubling as a disguise.
I love this airhead.
Yurika is too cute.
Hey other anon who's watching Cocotama, you said this episode was bad but it was actually pretty funny! I like those episodes where they get to build new playsets.
>>158753822
This is not okay.
I'm warming up to Ako.
>>158752893
It really caught me off guard, I didn't expect her to appear so soon, not that I'm complaining because Falala is really pretty, not as much as Yui but you get the idea.
>>158753005
>much better than the super cyalume coord scenes from S3
I agree.
Downloading Stars. This better be good as I hope.
>>158754402
>This better be good as I hope.
>>158754402
I enjoy it so far. Yume is bully bait.
>>158753534
I didn't realize how good she was until the end of S1 and now I feel bad for not liking her much up until then.
>>158754402
I ended up dropping it, but your mileage may vary.
>>158754588
>dropping anime
>dropping a core /ai/ show
>>158754530
She was a little off putting for me when I found out who her VA was. Her and Yuzu seem to grab my attention the most, it feels like they dominate everything S4.
>>158754402
Just give up now.
>>158754402
Don't listen to the haters, Stars is fun.Most of it is, at least.
>>158754402
Please share your thoughts when you near the end of S1
I love Yuzu too much.
>>158754680
It's why I started coming to /ai/ in the first place, but I just wasn't having any fun watching it.Have been considering trying again though.
>>158754834
I really want Yume to wear this hairstyle in-show.
>>158754959
Wish they played Erza as a real bitchtagonist instead of an awkward mix of bitchtagonist and Mizuki. She should be the antagonist you love to hate.
>>158754530
Someone explained it really well awhile ago. It wasn't something they really put in your face but Tsubasa cared for the school the most out of the rest of the S4, it's evident in her involvement with student council and how moved she was by the rest of the students at the end of the first season. The writers just needed to do a better job of her development, I didn't care much for her at first either but at this point I like her more than Yozora and Hime.
>>158754986
>Aikatsu
>non-friendly characters
>>158754099
Only a few more to go
>>158754986
This is Aikatsu, you know? You can't have that kind of characters here.
Are you ready to say goodbye to Tsubasa as she gets an emotional episode with a character she barely interacted with before? Not hating on TsubaRoller, but it should have happened earlier.
>>158755005
You might say she actually was so and so behind the scenes, but from what we saw, she was just a cunt, her episodes were boring, and her seiyuu didn't fit her at all and was only assigned to her as a mythology shoutout.
>>158754959
Why is this so inaccurate? Yume has huge "talents".
>>158755097
At least it will look nice.
Would you let Tsubasa scold you?
>>158755334
I want her oshioki time
>>158754834
>I just wasn't having any fun watching it
Who enjoys watching anime? Anime is terrible. Fair enough, though, I suppose.
>>158754530
She was the S4 I was looking forward to the most before Stars started because of Sumire and she had my favorite design of the four. In the end I never got very attached to her and as other said Sumire ended up being not very fitting for the role.
I want to fuck Lala.
>>158754530
First: She's the serious character, pretty hard to play around so less things for your average person to endear themselves to her and less wackiness for silly hijinks too like Yuzu or even Yozora when she goes full lesbian mode. Her bigger strength is gap-moe from serious to easily embarrassed and flustered but that's something not easy to play with. She could have played the "onee-san" role but there's kind of an overlap with Yozora there too. Second: She didn't get bundled with Ako like Yume-Hime, Mahiru-Yozora and Lily-Yuzu so she ended up having less screentime chances.
She got the short end of the stick narrative-wise.
>>158754111
It was bad by Cocotama standards. Hotoni is a one-note character and her sadistic nurse thing has been done before. This show likes to advertise its shit, but they usually put more effort into making a compelling story around it rather than 'it does this cool thing, now let's see this exciting play feature!' for 22 minutes.
>>158755656

I want to marry Nico.

I'm mad S4 only got one song.
>>158756416
Hopefully never.
>>158756416
That's a ugly ass dude.
>>158756662
That dude might be, but Elza and sheep would wear that well and look hot doing it.
>>158756416
wahaha
She reminds me of Takane from iM@S, except way too frail.
>>158756779
FUCK Lily.
>>158756467
It was a good song though.
>>158756779
Don't get too attached.
>>158756779
Lily's ass isn't fat enough to be compared to Takane.
Yet.
>>158757135
I love this picture because they look utterly absorbed in bliss and joy. It must feel grandiose.
>>158757205
Fairilu bodily fluids have aphrodisiac properties.
I want to hug Yuzu so bad.
>>158756972
There is that too.
You could say Lily's time in the spotlight was as ephemeral and beautiful as a frozen lake.
Subs when?
>>158757669
Gid gud casual.
>>158757600
She is pretty cool, no pun intended.
>>158757669
But Aikatsu subs are already out, unless you mean Cocotama and Fairilu
>Ako is willing to come fight for you
I think I trust her enough to assist me in battle.
What would a threesome with Ako and Kirara be like?
>>158758246
Animal noises
>>158757808
No, I mean all the subs.
>>158758246
You'd get toxoplasmosis and anthrax at the same time.
>>158758246
They constantly steal each other brands.
>>158758410

>>158759335
>>158759052
She sure is.
First for cosmos
>>158759445
Does this mean they slosh?
>>158759445
Ichigo has a very compliacated signature there.
Soon.
>>158759560
She worked very hard on it.
Fucking bullshit, this bitch is literally cheating.
So was episode made just to show us how paafekuto Elza is?
>>158759741
Looking up publicly available information beforehand and then using it to your advantage is not cheating.
>>158753576
>>158754012
>>158754507

>>158754681
>>158755680
>>158755876
>>158756779
>>158758246
How does it feel to care about irrelevant talentless piece of shit.
>>158759811
Yeah, basically she's not lazy, stupid, talentless and nobody-cares-about, like everyone else is.
Holy shit that episode 12 was wonderful. I was worried I was getting too old for this shit, but nope, the first 10 episodes of pripara really were just garbage. I legit fucking though Yui was gonna trip in the middle of her performance. God damn what an episode.
>>158759612
It's a pity you can't switch back to the previous form after you dress up the card.
>>158759903
I dropped after around 9. Good to know some people still enjoy it, I might or might not get back to it one day.
Though really, I will probably just drop Stars and watch instead PriPara.
Me on the left.
>>158759946
This was so fucking cringeworthy.
>>158759937
Honestly I don't even know how anyone gets through Aikatsu in general. It's like Pripara minus the fun. I mean even if the majority of Pripara is shit and Idoltime is overall shit, it's still 50x better than Aikatsu. Then again though, I haven't seen starts, only a bit of the original.
>>158759846
In the quiz it certainly wasn't.
But in a contest in which you supposedly want to create a dish for a certain restaurant, using that information in order to win over the judge is just tasteless.
>>158759985
Then you haven't seen true shit side of Aikatsu yet.
I didn't liked Mireille in the first episodes, but after reading a lot of porn she became my favorite semen demon. Lala can't compete with her.
>>158759879
>she's not lazy, stupid, talentless
For real? She pretty much had to emotional blackmail the judge to win.
>>158760092
This guy knows.
>>158760092
>he didn't like Mireille
Every pripara character except Dorothy is instantly likeable
>>158760102
Still she did her research.
The others were just too retarded pieces of stupid shit to do anything at all.
As much as I hate seeing cute girls cry, Elza did nothing wrong.
>>158760168
And Ajimi, fuck Ajimi.
>>158759849
But no one is talking about you anon.
>>158760168
>Except Dorothy
>>158760168
Her catchphrase was annoying and trash idol personality doesn't appeal me. Her normal self is a lot better.
>>158755838
Super idol!
>>158760413
If you find catchphrases annoying how the fuck did you watch pripara
>>158760413
Great taste.
>>158755838
>>158760005
H-how much worse does it get? How did you even finish it?
>>158760291
If you're behind, just know that it's basically what everyone but one girl is.
Would she do well at Venus Ark?
>>158760553
>Ties
>2wingS vs WM
>Starlight queen
>S4 selection
>this fucking loser trying to scold Yume.
And I thought I'd seen it all.
>>158760553
Imagine if Hibiki's CelePara would have been not just what it was, but depicted as the morally right thing, Hibiki instead of being antagonized would be depicted as perfect, righteous, wise and professional, and everyone just talentless and unambitious retards sucking her dick and praising everywhere, and reduced into totally irrelevant "one day they're gonna stand by her side in the shadow"-tier drooling retards.
That's where Aikatsu Stars currently is.
>>158759985
>the majority of Pripara is shit and Idoltime is overall shit, it's still 50x better than Aikatsu.
If you hate all the shows we watch why are you even here, faggot?
Aikatsu and PriPara, while both being little girls shows about idols, they're completely different in tone and not really comparable. One's basically an SoL with idoling, while the other is a wacky comedy.
>>158760661
>2wingS vs WM
>Starlight queen
These were fine. I have some complaints about the SLQ cup, but Akari winning was the best way to end the show at that point.
>>158760839
>>158760661
Up until Luminashit the SLQ cup was turning out very interesting.
>>158760839
The shitstorm on /ai/ for those events were nuclear though.
>>158760839
WM was robbed.
Stealth cutie.
>>158760890
Why is Yume there?
>>158760890
>>158760697
Jesus. How can little girls OR bigfriends even enjoy that?
Dressing Pafe and Triangle were robbed.
Since the S4 selection started aikatsu has been in its absolute lowest.
>>158761018
Wrong, Garmageddon was robbed
>A literal who from song class was able to obtain the Hoshi no tsubasa before the S4.
S4 was a mistake.
>>158760995
It literally is as if some foreigner idol arrived in PaParajuku, who people would call perfect, would be very arrogant and belittle everyone, then she would wipe the floor with the former Divine Idols so hard that they wouldn't even be competition to her ever, and on top of that they themselves would praise her to heaven all the time.
I can't properly describe how humiliating it is for everyone but her fans.
>Still being THIS mad about perfection
>>158761449
To think everyone thought that Stars couldn't be worse than it was at the S4 elections.
>>158761449
I'm sure everyone will get over it in three years or so.
>>158761398
Aikatsu's Idol power is 99% based on the coords. that's the problem.
>>158761401
Why can't Aikatsu just be fun like Pripara and Precure? What is the entertainment value in watching girls be sad?
>>158761606
Fun fun fun boys and girls
>>158761606
Because they completely lost the fun. But the true problem is not even that, but that despite everything, Aikatsu has ZERO conflict. They refuse to have any, they instead accept everything and then praise it like drooling retards.
>>158761606
Aikatsu is fun. The only girl who was sad because of the current events in Stars was Alice and she deserved it.
>>158761606
But anon, think on Elza's facebook shills. they need (you)s to live.
>>158761662
>Aikatsu is fun
If you like Elza, sure. If you like anyone else though? You're fucked.
Tell me one idol who isn't fucked right now by Elza completely.
Literally S5 right here.
>>158761715
Elza doesn't even get that much screentime in general. She might not even appear this week again.
>>158761744
More like S3 + Rola
>>158761758
Still every other girl is just "what are they even doing, nobody cares about them" kind of sorry asses.
Not-Nonocchi.
>>158761648
I want to see Subaru bully Yume in elementary school.
Bully sheep.
>>158762032
The show bullies her enough.
>being content with nobody giving a shit about her because she appears next to Elza
No point in her character, really.
>>158762032
Something is wrong with your color.
>>158762148
Colors*
Stars will drastically improve once we get the episode that reveals that Elza actually does work hard and worked her ass off to get where she is. Right now we have a perfect monster that seemingly was born the top idol straight from the womb of her wealthy silver spoon mom.
OG did a good job of dragging Mizuki down to earth from her position at the top by showing her work to the point of exhaustion every single day until like 3AM. Elza is constantly sitting behind a desk or wandering her boat looking for idols to insult.
>>158762245
Maybe Season 3 will help too, just like Season 2 helped Mizuki.
>>158762245
It's literally not happening.
Elza is all about talent, being more talented and gifted than anyone in the world, and while that includes studying up on subject, her character is surely not "she pushes herself harder than anyone".
And even that wouldn't explain shit.
>>158762307
One of her magazine profiles stated that her mother trained her from a young age, so I'm hoping they'll dedicate an episode or a flashback to this.
Fucking shitters.
>>158762354
Elza got cucked really hard there.
>Elza-sama is just perfect, the end.
Nice program you got there.
>>158762354
This is the only time she behaved like a human being, getting mildly BTFO by some shitter that she called worthless.
>>158762413
That really was is.
>"S4? Who cares about that, here is real hot shot!"
>>158762413
Yume was just telling it like it is.
>>158762350
Normally those episodes will humanize the antagonist by showing the training as being borderline abusive but it resulted in them building a strong will.
I don't believe the staff of this anime are competent enough to do this. They'll probably just show her excelling at all of her training like its nothing because she's a fucking genus idol/singer/composer/designer/model/etc
>>158762354
>>158762392
>>158762437
The worst part was, where I really cringed hard, is when she said "what magic did Yume use...?"
As if they fucking cared enough to give Yume a speech that has any worth, she basically just told "hey, continue being an idol if you want to, k", and that was it, why the fuck are they acting as if she did something protag-like proud speech?
Fuck the writers.
>>158762245
This will happen, and it will be the most cringeful thing ever.
She worked extra hard? Well guess what, half of the cast has worked extra hard from a very young age, but they still don't hold a candle to S4, much less to Elza who casually shits all over everyone without breaking a sweat.
Jesus.
>>158762558
It will be hard for anyone in the show to argue that they worked harder than Yume or Hime, who had to do so unless they wanted to contract rainbow AIDS.
The most sickening part is that Stars will probably be canned this season with a "minna tomodachi. minna aidoru" ending, even though no one learned anything.
>>158759985
Aikatsu is just about the only little girl show I can't get into, and I've tried a number of times
Elza's intro ALMOST did it but then it fell flat again in short order
>>158762506
I will say Elza is just the sheltered character archetype, all day sitting on her small control room, has no friends and probably not even know what's the meaning of having fun.
>>158762506
Elza has never once experienced failure in her life, and assumed anyone who did fail could never rise back up from it, so to her Yume being able to give Alice back her spark was magic, even though it was something almost anyone could have done. That said, this is Stars we're dealing with so it wouldn't surprise me if Yume actually is Aikatsu Jesus and the only one who can revive a spark after it is lost.
>>158762686
And that apparently leads to being an idol completely above the level of countless hard working, friend supporting and loving idols who want people to be happy.
What a morale!
Just when I thought it finally died.
>>158762853
Elza is basically bizzaro Ichigo, like she's the antithesis of everything Ichigo stood for as an idol. Normally that would be nice, but this time around the supporting cast isn't strong enough to hold up the rest of the show. They're all fucking memedols
>>158762915
It still could have worked if they antagonized Elza, or at least made her clash with their ideologies.
But these lukewarm spineless trash just nodded in admiration instead after their first reaction.
>>158763015
Maybe because Elza did nothing wrong.
>tfw not watching stars correctly
>tfw the message of the episode that dreams still come true outside the boat
>tfw not being mad over nothing
Speaking of perfect idols, the Hibiki/Mirei conflict was one of the best things about PP S2.
>>158763154
Please check that brain damage you have.
>>158763179
You are brain damage.
Yume is fucking sexy.
>>158763167
PP knew how to take it somewhere.
Aikatsu girls just nod like little puppies and admire her being a superior idol without any question.
>>158763222
Lollipop is much prettier though. How come she isn't S4.
>>158763222
Only because it was a boy episode. That was the only reason they had a bit of personality for one episode.
Wonderful episode, very refreshing after all that paafekuto. The new song was also pretty good.
Ako a cute!
>>158763222
Mahiru is proposing to Ako?!
>>158763358
>Ako can't even measure up to literally who sheep
Irrelevant episode.
>>158763358
Good song that was ruined by Yume and Ako voice.
>>158761660
>But the true problem is not even that, but that despite everything, Aikatsu has ZERO conflict. They refuse to have any
This. I noticed this gaining prominence even back during OG days. Everyone's just nice happy people who have nice happy lives and no one has any problems.
It's completely dry and dull and has no bite. It has no taste. It has no life.
You end up watching to see your favourites, but there's nothing for them to do when they do appear other than just be happy and nice.
S2's ties were the epitome of this. They were too scared to have someone win. No one had any intention of having any of the characters experience a loss.
>>158763358
Ako got helped out by Kanata again to get over issue, this time openly. She really ought to give him a present or at least actually thank him eventually.
It's pretty bad when it's so obvious the staff cares more about romantic antics with boys than the girls themselves.
>>158763167
The scene where Mirei is desperately trying to talk sense into Hibiki and Shion is smothering all of her "pri"s was goddamn brilliant.
>>158763167
>>158764415
And the scene where Hibiki gave Mirei flowers. Amazing stuff.
>>158753666
>>158756244

>>158765715

>>158763001

>She could make dance class relevant
>Away with ye!
>>158763783
But the top staff is on the TsubaRoller episode.
poor Akari
>>158765238
Cute.
>>158765273
Lewd.
>>158765797
I'd fuck Lily too hard.
>>158765798
Poor girl.
Why is dance class so useless?
Akari 2.0: Dance class comeback
>>158761606
Aikatsu was supposed to be more comfy rather than fun or exciting, unlike PP.
>>158764602
Yeah, that was the scene that made me believe Hibiki wasn't that bad, I mean, other antagonist would have been super butthurt about it, but Hibiki was happy for Mirei instead.
>>158765798
Haruka was annoying anyway, I'm glad she gets no screentime
>>158768077
Given that one of the main characters can be summed up as
>Muh Soob
>Tacatacatacatacataca BIN BON
and
>NYAAAAAA
I wish Haruka had more prominence.
>>158766714
Meanwhile at home, Akari patiently waits.
>>158763001
You can ask for headpat in water. Just saying

Can I have one out the water?
>Wake up
>Thread is nothing but the anti-Elza shitposter still going at it all night like if Elza killed his mother in front of him
You have some serious deep-rooted issues dude. You should go see a psych. You are almost Akatsukin-tier at this point
>>158771337
He is Akatsukin drone.
>>158769329
Never wake up.
I was wondering what was this magic shit.
>>158770877
>>158771781
Now do the space suit.
Dorothy really was the star of the episode, if there's one thing Idol Time needs, it's more Dorothy
>>158771979
What if we get another character like Doroshi in IT?
>>158772006
She's one of a kind, I'd rather they don't try to create a copy
>>158759846
She didn't even create a new dish, she just made something impractical with traditional ingredients.
>>158771979
Should you be out looking for your girlfriend?
>>158772526
>girlfriend
Dorothy wishes she had a girlfriend like Shion.
>>158772526
Just finished all of Pripara today. Gonna start Idol Time Pripara soon.
I was a huge Aikatsu fan (less of an Aikatsu Stars fan but alas) but I think I enjoyed Pripara way more than I enjoyed Aikatsu. Maybe it was the scale of the show and the randomness that took me in. It was like I was 10 years old again while I watching it.
Aikatsu was very fun but more grounded to earth. You kind of knew what to expect out of every episode and even if you didn't you knew the scope of possible outcomes. Pripara knew no boundaries and was self aware enough to take itself lightly and at the same time aim higher all the way until the end. It was like watching an idol show on steroids.
Of course this doesn't mean I now hate Aikatsu. I still love it, and I'll still continue watching Stars, but I Pripara really created a big spot in my heart. Hopefully Idol Time Pripara will be just as much of a fun journey.

>I sing them both all the time
What a nerd.Good taste.
>>158773487
Personally Aikatsu is my favorite show ever, but I love PriPara a lot too so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Idol Time has been great so far, so I hope you enjoy it just as much as I am.
>>158774221
Is that Roller Roller? How many spin has she done since the beginning of series?
>>158773487
>Aikatsu was very fun but more grounded to earth. You kind of knew what to expect out of every episode and even if you didn't you knew the scope of possible outcomesSounds exactly like what is happening with Precure right now. Stagnant and mediocre.
>>158774638
>>158774750
Two cute onaholes.
>>158774471
>Personally Aikatsu is my favorite show ever, but I love PriPara a lot too
Me too. They're different idol shows in their own way.
At the end of the day I can always rely on /ai/ shows for cute girls doing cute things, nothing else really matters.
>>158773860
>>158773973
I guess I'm the only person that thinks 0weekold (v2 at least) is the best song in pripara.
>>158774861
Yeah, both shows are pretty mediocre, good thing PP exists.
>tfw senpai dies for you
>>158776236
Stars is worse than the lowest low Precure has ever managed to reach.
I want to die.
>>158776305
I have to agree with that, both Stars and the second seasons of each gen of Aikatsu are pretty damn mediocre, Aikatsu should just get into the 51 episodes format and call it a day.
>>158776471
The second half of S2 and S4 were fine. And if Stars had only been one year it would have ended on the god awful S4 selection, although I guess it would have saved us from another year of the show and it's not like the ending to S2 will be much better.
>>158776471
Second season OGkatsu is better than first season Akarigen because Ichigo and friends are way more solid characters than Akari and friends.
>>158776471
Something about Aikatsu adopting that format would feel wrong to me. Even if 2 and 4 were pretty mediocre, I still enjoyed seeing the characters I already knew continue growing and guide the newer characters.
>>158776645
I have to agree with that, Akari was cute yet dull and whatever gave the okay to choosing Sumire and Hinaki as part of the main trio should be fired.
>>158776768
What if Akari's friends were Rin and Madoka + Juri instead?
>>158776978
The show would have been better, Sumire works better as a secundary character than a main one.
>>158776404
Me too
>>158776978
Definitive improvement in all aspects. Everyone in Akarigen was more interesting, fun and engagin than the main trio.
It doesn't matter which is better between Aikatsu and Pripara, cause Pretty Rhythm will forever be king.
>>158777796
Not Kokone.
>>158777865
I don't even like Kokone but she was still better than Sumire and Hinaki. She was interesting and had a unique gimmick at the very least.
The world belongs to Kokone.
>>158777851
Go back to bed, grandpa.
>>158777939
You mean landwhale fujo.
>>158776978
Honestly, I think Juri and Madoka especially would have become grating if they'd been mains. Rin probably would've have spent a lot of time talking about the BPM of her heart too, and whilst I like Rin, that was the dumbest fucking catchphrase.
I think the characters were handled the right way, you have the more grounded (obviously some would say boring) characters leading, and you bring in the wilder characters to spice the show up and keep things from getting dull.
>>158777851
PP still comes from PR so it counts.
I want to fuck pp wiki users
>>158778057
>keep things from getting dull.
With so many people saying Akari gen was boring I believe the writers failed at it.
>>158777900
Being an obnoxious, unlikable cunt is not better than being boring.
>>158778083
>>158778057
But look at Pripara. The whole cast is wild and the show is awesome.
>>158778057
>Madoka
>grating
She's both unhatable super bubbly (like Otome), has one of the cutest designs in the show and an interesting personality that's not always super nice, and she's relying on catchphrases.
I don't see her ever becoming grating.
>>158776301

>>158779145
There's really no explanation that would summarize it, you kinda have to watch it and see for yourself.
I guess it's not good to see how Lala loses all her character, and being completely incompetent at everything, boys being drooled by everyone and being told how they make better idols than girls, etc.
The fact that they're using characters from the older PriPara series because they can't think up characters for themselves is pretty sad too.
>>158780115
>boys being drooled by everyone and being told how they make better idols than girls
You missed the joke anon.
Laura is such a fucking loser.
>>158780186
Me on the right
>>158780271
Loser
>>158780216
It stops being a joke when it's constantly the case for 10+ episodes, especially knowing how fujoshi is not far away from the staff's interest.
>>158766425
I'm not even surprised the mature girls get top staff.
Considering what happened at the end of the Grand Prix, I wouldn't be surprised if form this point on they'll shift more focus to Yui and away from Lala.
>>158777913
My heart belongs to Kokone.
>>158780357
It was always designed to be that way from the start, the baton pass is just getting a whole arc together.
>>158780405
Yeah, I meant it more like "this is when".
>>158780115
>Lala loses all her character, and being completely incompetent at everything
No she doesn't, and she's always been a baka.
>The fact that they're using characters from the older PriPara series because they can't think up characters for themselves is pretty sad too.
I'll admit I'm not a huge fan of them doing the cameo episodes so early, but they've been fun aside from the kuma one. And you act like there's no good new characters, but Yui and Nino are great, Muri looks like she'll be fun when she gets the spotlight too. The sheep squad and Mimiko have also been great supporting characters.
What is this?
>>158780513
/ai/ meetup
>>158780506
Except Lala was not JUST a baka, but now she is.
And I just don't feel the other characters much, and Mimiko in particular is just ugly, boring and yet very irritating at the same time.
>>158780610
Before Nino's debut episode I would have agreed about Mimiko.
>>158780610
>And I just don't feel the other characters much, and Mimiko in particular is just ugly, boring and yet very irritating at the same time.
I'll have to agree. The hurr you can't go to pripara because fuck you rehash was very annoying as well.
Mimiko doesn't want them to go to PriPara because she knows she is too ugly to be an idol. If she can't go, nobody can.
Is Mimiko the ugliest /ai/ character?
>>158780506
> but Yui and Nino are great,
Gee, just TWO new main characters while the rest of the show is carried by the ones from the old show.
>Muri looks like she'll be fun when she gets the spotlight too.
Oh yeah, maybe next year when they finally introduce her or whatever.
>The sheep squad
Sheep Squad is gonna be forgotten sooner or later and so will Mimiko.
Is Lala the sexiest /ai/ character?
>>158780958
No.
>old characters coming back is bad
?
>>158780610
Lala was put into a pretty shitty situation, and she did her best and overcame it. She's the same old Lala. As for Mimiko, I thought the same before the last two episodes, but she played a great antagonist, and judging by how the latest episode ended she'll only get better.
>>158780918
>Gee, just TWO new main characters while the rest of the show is carried by the ones from the old show.
So? The first cour of PP was mostly Lala and Mirei with some Sophie. Lala is still one of the main characters of IT so it's perfectly fine for her to be one of the main focuses, and I wouldn't say that Mirei and Sophie have been "carrying the show."
>Sheep Squad is gonna be forgotten sooner or later and so will Mimiko.
That's irrelevant, they get a decent amount of screen time now and do a good job of playing the roles they are suppose to.
>>158781000
>you will never be part of the sheep squad group hug
>>158781000
Me in the middle.
>>158780610
Yeah.
But I found Gloria was just as annoying at the start of PriPara, and that worked itself out.
>>158781237
Difference being that Gloria was the first time this issue was happening. Rehashing the same plot-line, an annoying too at that, is nothing deserving of praise but the opposite.
>>158781181
It is relevant because instead of that screentime being spent on the main characters it is spent on irrelevant nobodies that are practically filler friends because for some reason they thought it would be a good idea to take 2 months to introduce every new main character.
Yui and Nino go on a trip, no Lalas invited.
>>158781397
The first season of PP did the same thing, and there's nothing wrong with having fun supporting characters.
>>158781615
It is when 99% of your show is supporting characters.
I'm going to divorce Miyu-tan.
>>158781864
I'm happy to take her off your hands, but why would you divorce perfection?
>>158781684
And that's not the case with IT, so I fail to see your point. It still largely focuses on Lala and Yui, and Nino in the recent episodes. The supporting characters are just that, and they've supported the main cast fine so far.
>>158781864
You were never married, to her or to anyone else.
People should stop drawing twintailed Ichigo, it takes me forever to find out if it's Yume or not, maybe that's the reason behind her new gyaru haircut.
>>158782238
If you truly loved either of them you'd be able to tell the difference right away.
>>158782238
I hope Lala returns to Parajuku at the end of the season, I love the old chaacters but their presence is harmful for the new ones because it makes it hard for them to shine on their own.
>>158781237
>>158781335
That, and you can justify thinking that elementary school kids should stay away from something as highly influential somewhat, but saying that boys are okay to go (and being, frankly, sexually attracted to them to a degree she goes all drooling retard over them), but for girls it isn't?
No base of justification there.
>>158782238
Why are you so retarded anon?
>>158782596
Yeah, it was quite a dumb plot because Not-Gloria didn't really have too much of a reason for not letting girls go.
3 episodes into Idol Time Pripara after having finished Pripara today.
>A girl being idol? That's ridiculous
Megalul. At first I was quite scared about the introduction of a male Pripara (I vehemently hatied M4 when they were introduced in Aikatsu Stars and can only thank the producers for having removed them in S2). This is not just because I'm a /u/ fag (although that too), but because I feel like male idols rarely add anything to the story and often just offer vapid romantic subplots for no good reason, taking away from the cute girls doing idol things. However, it seems like they are just here to form some rivalry with Yui and the other girls, and not so much to add unnecessary subplots, so I'll stay optimistic for now.
I actually like Yui quite a lot and don't mind having her as the protagonist. Her "yume" puns get a little on my nerves, but when I think back on Ajimi, I'm relieved this is all I get. I feel like Lala is just here so she can build Pripara up to a state where Yui can carry the torch on her own, and then she'll eventually go away, but who knows. One thing I'm on the fence about is the managers. Having managers that are simply cute fluffy creatures instead of creatures with intelligence is a bit cheap imo. I wish punicorn would speak (maybe she will one day, who knows).
I don't know how to feel about all the side characters yet. Heck, I don't even know who's going to be main/side at this point. I didn't like that so many side characters were clones of previous Pripara characters. I'm hoping these clones stay restricted to just the principal and Mimiko (who terrifies me even more than Nene).
All in all, I'm staying positive. Pripara took quite a few episodes to get off the ground and eventually it turned into an amazing journey, so I think it's not farfetched to assume Idol Time will also manage to extend its scale and give us a fun adventure.
And hey at least it's not Akarigen Aikatsu.
>>158782793
>for having removed them in S2
The only episode where they put effort into girls' personalities in S2 was the boy baiting episode, so you're wrong.
Yui is fucking insane, she's almost like having Ajimi as the MC.
From what I've watched of Idle Time so far, I think the writing quality has only improved, especially since that awful final arc of OGpara. It's been pure hilarity, pure undiluted PriPara.
As always, PriPara does what Ai-can't-su.
>>158780506
They have interesting new characters but rarely use them. You don't get to see the new characters really do much or interact much beyond telling yui and lala how interested/disinterested they are in pripara.
>>158781608
Something like this would be fun.
>>158783192
Indeed, I love Yui, she's truly is a real PriPara MC.

>>158786656
The boys are actually characters with their own personalities and motivations and not romance bait to make the MC blush.
>>158786656
The big problem with RL is not the boys. They are interesting characters just like the girls.
>>158784804
Leona is cute. And she was pretty close to kissing Lala once.
>>158786787
>The big problem with RL is not the boys.
Nor anything else.
>>158786882
RL was probably the best way to handle a series like this.
The drama being family drama in almost every case was a bit ridiculous, but other than that it was good, and really needed to avoid being a no tension wreck like Aikatsu.
>>158786882
How about the fact that it's not a competition series anymore and the ice skating barely matters.
>>158786950
Because it was more about the characters and their families rather than the competition, it was obvious from the start given how Naru's goal was never to become the number one or something like that, but I agree with how Kouji's mother was fucking retarded.
>>158787073
>Because it was more about the characters and their families rather than the competition
The big problem with RL.
Maybe it wouldn't have been as bad if the drama wasn't just the product of the characters being stupid (or as others have put it, "realistic"), or if all the dramatic stuff didn't take a turn for the comedic at the most unfortunate moments when it was taken dead seriously most of the time, it's like they didn't fucking care as long as it seemed like mature writing on the surface.
>>158787241
I'm not sure what you are on about, but the character drama in RL was fucking great almost all the time.
What was every character drama?
>>158787241
But the only bad drama was Kouji's mother, everyone else was pretty believable.
>>158787384
>>158787073
What did Kouji's mom do?
>>158787418
Watch the show.
>>158755838
>>158787418
She was being too cute.
>>158787448
I'm too lazy.
>>158787241
I must add that despite being the most drama-focused season, the drama fell short when placed next to AD and DMF. In those shows the drama was actually related to the rink, it was passionate and actually taken seriously by the writers, not to mention it was never caused by the characters being stupid.
As an example, you can't possibly say Bell's heel-face turn arc, something straight out of precure with the typical "everyone is willing to forget that she was a total dick to everyone about 2 episodes ago" deal was well written if you also saw Mion's development in AD.
>>158787384
That was nothing compared to every single melodrama related to Wakana and her family. Especially that one time she angsted for about 5 episodes about having to leave with her parents again, on a completely serious tone, and they ended it with a joke scene in which her mom breaks character and put dad in his place.
>>158787656
>and they ended it with a joke scene in which her mom breaks character and put dad in his place.

I used to say the same about DMF, and now it's my favorite PR season.
>>158788195
DMF was awesome from beginning to end, the finale was just the icing on the cake.
>>158787656
I don't know how you can justify any of DMF's drama as a great amount of it was and was caused by Kintaro being stupid.
>>158788060
I've not watched RL but I kind of know the context of this picture so I end up cringing horribly every time it's brought up or something related to it is posted.
>>158788288

I want more Tsubasa & Yozora
Come back !
Would you prefer Lala or Katia as a daughter?
>>158790132
Good riddance.
>>158789975
This is a pop idol.
>>158755005
Belated response, but I've always liked Tsubasa the most since she was the most normal, and humanized, out of the S4. (My second favorite is, ironically, Yuzu for being the least human out of the four.)
I also came to like Yozora so much more when they revealed (in Photokatsu) that she had to train hard in Yotsuboshi to live up to her family name, and that her obsession with her siblings was due to the fact that her parents were always too busy to be around. It also explained her love for travel, how fitting the lyrics to Mirai Transit are to her character, her being trilingual, and gave greater context to why she decided to study abroad in Paris all at once. But then again, I already adored the relationship between the Kasumi siblings beforehand and don't find Mahiru's obsession with her sister as bad as the majority of /ai/ does.
>>158790561
There's nothing wrong with sisterly love.
>>158790271
>Katia
Who?
>>158790561
Gee, wouldn't it have been nice to know all that of Yozora in the fucking anime?
You are on-point regarding Tsubasa. I had no idea how to put it into words but you worded it perfectly. I find her to be the one most easy to relate to because of what happened to her with Nepotism Class.
>>158790561
It would have been great if all these details about Yozora would have been revealed in the show in place of some mobage, dumb writers.
>>158789685
Aikatsu is bad at trying to attract big girls with M4
>>158790775
Lala then, Katia wasn't even the best daughteru of Fanta Dolls.
>>158790758
BUT THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE MASTERFUL M4 SHIPPING EPISODES!!!!!
>>158790537
A sexy pop idol.
>>158790829
I'm not saying they're good, but they hardly take up a large amount of the episode count.
>>158790829
They hardly appear dude, if anything, Rolla and Lily's episodes were more of a waste.
>>158790862
>>158790885
The thing is that you can tell there's a very noticeable up in the "care" of the episodes, such as the latest episode, whenever M4 is involved.
>>158790908
I agree then, but that just shows how much the staff gives a shit about certain characters, like Ako, almost all her episodes are awesome, meanwhile Rolla's episodes are shit.
>>158790908
Rola's episode is the one getting the top staff though.
>>158786656
RL is very good if you like over the top nonsense, especially the final episodes. Also, it has better songs in it than the previous PRs, especially Rinne's theme.
>>158790758
>writers
You guys really have to stop blaming nameless "writers" for any poor story decisions that are more likely made by a combination of the head writer/Kakihara, director/Satou, producers, and supervisor/Kimura. I'd say the problem here is more that there's never been a true Yozora episode (so Kakihara is to blame here), and that her episodes always shown through Mahiru's POV.
...Though to undercut my point, in this particular instance, the writer of episode 15 should have included these details in their flashback. I remember wishing Narita should have written it instead of the previous episode.
>>158790908
I wouldn't say that, looking at the staff list. The only consistent uptake in "care" I see is that one of the better writers(I miss her on Precure ;_;)tends to be assigned to the M4 episodes, but that's because she's a huge hetfag. Also >>158790977 Andou and Miyatani are pretty much the best Stars staff in their respective positions.
>>158790271
I want Katia as a pet and Lala as a sex pet.
>>158790561
I did really like the Kasumi sisters relationship, and I found their story arc to be one of the nicest in season one.
I still wish they gave Mahiru a little more than just Yozora though.
Wow cosmic ded already
puri
Ganbaruby!
>>158791790
>clear upgrades in cuteness until the final one
why did they fucking have to go with the braid, it is nowhere near as cute as any of the other hairstyles.
>>158791440
>The only consistent uptake in "care" I see is that one of the better writers (I miss her on Precure ;_;) tends to be assigned to the M4 episodes
That explains it then. Because Precure is not happy enough already by ruining itself, it has to ruin Aikatsu too.
Thank god PriPara is safe with Milky Holmes staff.
>>158791843
The braid killed Aikatsu and Akari's cuteness.
>>158790561
Mahiru and Yozora's relationship was one of my favorite things in S1, I think it was done great. Though like others have said, that extra info would have been nice in the anime, it already makes me like them even more.
Hinaki's braid is worse than Akari's, she could have been cute the whole time if she never had a braid.

What other stuff that they decided it would be a wonderful idea to not put in the anime have you seen on the mobage?

Hinaki would have been cuter if she dressed like a boy.

Reverse trap Hinaki actually doesn't sound so bad.
I like braided buns.

But Maho wasn't as good as it could have been without any episodes written by Narita. Though I have to admit her Stars episodes aren't as good as her Precure work, her episodes tend to be the most well-received. Her final Precure episodes happened to be Minamin's character arc, which everyone liked.

I can't check the scenarios at the moment, but Yozora's backstory is the big one. Otherwise maybe Tsubasa (as well as Anna) taking care of Hime in her first year whenever she felt weak from the rain?
Some scenarios I wish were animated:
>Ako wanting to obtain the album full of rare M4 bromides that Yume picked up, only to be dragged away in sadness when they reveal Yozora was the one who dropped it.
>The M4 feat. Moroboshi guest starring on the S4 show where Hime is a curry maniac who nearly kills Moroboshi through her spicy curry.
>Moroboshi creeping in the background while Tsubasa and Lily ponder over who the hell chooses the seventh Lucky.
>Yozora recommending a perfume that suits Koharu, and Koharu preferring the perfume Yozora uses.
>Yuzu sniffing pussies
And that's all I can remember off the top of my head.
Which idle would give the best lapdance?
Sora has the only good braid.

>who nearly kills Moroboshi through her spicy curry.
Maybe if she had done him in Yotsuboshi could have gotten a competent principal.

>Tsubasa getting stockholmed by Hime
Kind of hot desu.

My bad, it was the S4+Moroboshi guest starring on the M4's show. I'm still not sure why Asahi's eyes sparkled in sadness after drinking Tsubasa/Yuzu's concentrated cream soda.

It was seen as a MoroHime scene more than anything, with how the scenario ended with Moroboshi calling Hime to his office on a TV program for something minor.
