What happened with this episode?
It feels like they just said to trade all of the nice writing and animation for as much “special friend service” as possible. That, and some nice development for the Yuuki family at least. Next week will be very exciting though, as we finally get to learn more about her.
Hello, Coco-chan. How can I make a cute idol girlfriend?
Kimi wa dare to Friends wo suru?
Honestly, my first time watching this episode I thought it was just average. Thankfully that was only due to a couple things that I’ve pinpointed and come to terms with, and upon multiple rewatches it stands out as yet another fabulous episode. However, I have absolutely no idea what to expect for next week, which just makes it all the more exciting.
Chocolate and potato chips? That’s a weird combination…
If it were possible to feel more like real middle schoolers and do a better job of seamlessly showing opposite personality traits that are consistent with everything we knew about the characters previously, I have yet to see it. My expectations were far surpassed.
(P.S. Just call it chocolate, okay, I know it’s probably youkan)
Nana-chan!
This happened all at once, but Aikatsu is on the Vtuber train now! I have no idea how regular or often or long these will be, but for now we’re on it! Collaboration between me and Maxine of Square Subs.
My heart is as soft as mochi for this Aine
Everything is so good! I can’t believe just how much was packed into this one episode that had been built up before, but then again, that’s what we can expect from Kakihara Yuuko (and for that matter, this week’s PriChan and Precure were amazing too). There were a lot of little things I didn’t catch during my first watch, and it definitely holds up to repetition, so enjoy it as many times as you want.
Whoops, forgot about the episode title. Just so we’re clear, the 友希 in Yuuki Aine’s name is not the same kanji as 勇気 for Brave Melody. Aine’s kanji actually mean “friend hope”.
