They’re watching the greatest love story of all time
I want to post the image of the love story, but I also want you to see it for yourself! And also these hexagonal glasses are nice too. But really, it looks like Dream Academy is finally back after all this time, and someone is pulling an Ichigo to attend it. There’s just so much good and emotional about this, and I leave it to you to enjoy. I also skipped subbing the announcement sign right in the middle of the episode—all it says is that Aikatsu on Parade will be airing Saturdays instead of Thursdays, so you should probably expect the release date of subs to move back a little bit as well.
Thanks!’
Get yourself a partner who looks at you the way Kaguya looks at Sakuya.
So is “Aikatsu on Parade” a parallel series on a different day, or a replacement series for “Aikatsu Friends”?
Given that things seems to be wrapping up, I’d say the latter. I wonder which series will take the current timeslot.
I’m amazed Hariu even takes his hedgehog to a secret date. At this point, I’m convinced that’s the real Hariu, while he is just a flesh puppet. Kinda creepy for a children’s anime, when you think about it.
I thought the Twins would at least consider leaving (eloping?) together, but maybe they both thought it was important for their personal growth to each do their own thing? Still, you’d think they would at least touch upon the matter.
I like this one.
As the strings of the story begin to tie up, I get this lonely feeling of melancholy mixed up with bittersweet happiness. Thank you, Aikatsu.
Oh man seeing a big-nosed Gaijin chat up a red-head Nihonjin ON HER OWN TURF WHILE HOLDING A GOPHER ON HIS SHOULDER?!?! THAT COULD BE ME SOMEDAY… In fact, that WILL BE ME SOMEDAY WHEN I EVENTUALLY MOVE TO JAPAN AND ANIMATE FOR FUTURE AIKATSU EPISODES AND ALL THE LADY-AIKATSU ARTISTS WILL WANNA BE MY GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE I’M A GOOD PERSON AND FUTURE GOOD ARTIST YERG!!! ヽ(●ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ●)ﾉﾟ
“NO JAY YOUR DELUDED FANTASIES AND NO-NO ZONE ARE SHOWING… (again!)”
WAH, GOMEN!!! (#WOMP)
Anyway YERG THIS was an amazingly layered episode! Kaguya’s conflicted thoughts of self-growth vs coddling her sister, Sakuya taking steps to conquer her shyness to allow Kaguya to walk her own path, and MANAGERS FALLING IN LOVE?!?! No lie I thought they’d pull a groundhog on us and Hariu would be like “HAHA WE’RE ACTUALLY SIBLINGS!!!” (heck, we’re all anime fans right? I’d be down with that–ERR, I MEAN!!! #WOMP) (also thank god he took off the hat). ALSO that “Give me a break!” skit?! I’M SUCH A SUCKER FOR ROMANTIC COMEDIES I WISH AIKATSU HAD MORE OF THIS!!!
I’m giving this episode… 9.7 AIKATSUS OUT OF 10!!! That would be 3 more Aikatsus than episode 70, which felt ho-hum but had some good points here and there. Like Under The WEAR!!! >_<!!!
And yes, those glasses were on point… Six, even…
As a side note, OH MAN THOSE ANIMATORS KEEP TEASING US I SWEAR!!! Like… UNDER THE WEAR!!! >_<!!!
As another side note… I wanna leave my thoughts on the new Aikatsu series and potentially seeing my waifu again… one who will never have her own figure (Kitaoji Sakura) (or my avi for that matter #WOMP) but I’d rather save those thoughts for later. It’s amazing from a fan’s perspective, but judging how they handled Aikatsu Friends… I’m legitimately worried… which kinda ties back to Kaguya’s criticism quote.
Ye (◍˘ω˘◍)
I’m starting to think that Kaguya was drawing from personal experience for that skit. There must be a reason if we have never seen the twins’ parents.
