Monica is still the best, and now Aria is part of their posse

I’ve never related to Mahiru so hard as in this episode. Questioning such a fundamental aspect on competition has been long-coming in Aikatsu, and the philosophical ramifications are not likely to disappear from the minds of the viewers that easily. With that said there were some real surprises, and some real heartwarming moments. I’m very excited for what’s to come in the future.

What does it mean… to become light?

It begins in earnest. I was considering writing a long explanation about just how tragic Elza is, but I may not get around to it before it’s too late. In any case, she easily ranks among the top three most troubled Aikatsu idols and I believe strongly that she is deserving of empathy. When even your opponents worry this much about you, perhaps it’s time to reconsider your choices. And yet, being unable to do that in part due to external factors outside your control is what makes this so painful to watch. I can only pray that she is saved soon. In lighter news, a oneshot girl I love is coming back next week, so I’m super excited for that too!

D4 is the cutest!

They kind of even look like superheroes, what with the lightning bolts and long scarves. Sometimes, the only way to resolve your insecurities is by getting a little uncomfortable. Or at least embarrass the people watching a little bit. But getting out of your comfort zone like that is also one way to inspire others.
