The CG starts off pretty bad but fairly quickly becomes alright. For the last couple of years it's been stright up the best 2D-style 3DCG around, and still gets better.

As for the show, it's mostly about cute idol girls doing cute things. If you like that sort of thing it's great. If you want serious plot and rivalry it isn't.

If you're into cute girls being cute, this is THE anime for you. It's hard to find a girl to dislike. It has a plot, but isn't plot heavy (basic "girl wants to be an idol, sucks, gets good" story), so its a nice mix of SoL with gradual plot progressing which imo works fantastically for development.

As far as repetitiveness, the only thing that's really repetitive is the fact that there's a performance (almost) every episode. The music variety is decent for such a long show: ~20 songs per season, so each song played roughly 2-3 times, though some repeat for more than that. It also helps that Aikatsu's music is really good.

As for your pretty rhythm request, its similar cute girl wise but completely different from Aikatsu plot wise. Much more plot heavy, much more suffering (Aikatsu is generally pretty upbeat most of the time). Aurora Dream (the first season) starts off a bit dull and repetitive but gradually becomes amazing. Rainbow Live (3rd season, completely different story so you can start here if you want) is consistently great throughout and is generally considered the best. Dear My Future (2nd season) is a sequel to AD and currently has incomplete subs.

Its a lot to watch but both shows are really great.

What this anon said. Dear My Future is also pretty fucking great; and in general Pretty Rhythm has good songs and music as well.

>implying I could dislike that

Thank you very much anons, next month's anime season seems pretty dull and this seems to be very of my liking, that's a relief, if I like this maybe I will go with Rainbow live but atm I want something more merry and Aikatsu seems to be exactly that
Just to verify, nothing wrong with "Mezashite"?

>>20249
Nope. Akatsukin even frequents /ai/ as well. Besides, not like you have a choice.

>>20249
Yes Mezashite is good. Coalgirls has BDs that uses meza's subs with some slight changes, but the BDs are really only worth it for season 2 onward.

That pretty much covers everything, I really appreciate it /ai/fags, thanks
