Happy Idol New Year!
What better way can there be to start off a new year with an Aikatsu drama episode? It was full of little references like who took over the role of certain events repeated in last year’s episode, who did what in the first-year talent show, little notes certain idols made in their scripts for past shows, and more. A couple other things also bear mentioning. For one, “hanetsuki” is referenced. If you’re familiar with other anime that have a New Year episode, it’s that paddle badminton game where whoever drops the shuttlecock gets something drawn on their face with a brush. There’s also a bit of a kanji joke in the middle, but if you look at the signs the meaning should become clear. I do have one slight disappointment with the episode near the end, although it definitely didn’t detract from the quality.
Thanks!
Ur dissapointment is the yume stage instead of a yuzu/lili one?
Thanks!
The preview makes it look like Elza is back to form. And here I thought she was just going to go full villain.
Elza’s not a villain, she just has no need of anyone else anymore. Not until she becomes a “true perfect idol” i.e. earns her mother’s acknowledgement.
She still may go villainy since she mentioned its the “Last time” or something like that
Asahi spit take when Mahiru came out on stage was very funny
I want Koharu sensei to give me an injection!
Happy New Year everyone!
