Amazingly, my Tanabata wish this year came true

First, thank you so, so much to everyone I met at Anime Expo. All the fans, the cosplayers, the artists, and everyone else was so kind, and I just love meeting other people who feel the same way about Aikatsu. I’ll be back again, so don’t worry if you wanted to meet but missed me.

This episode comes exactly 50 after the last Tanabata one, and was about perfectly timed this year. Perhaps because of that, next week Aikatsu Stars will be on break. The following episode will be in two weeks. Until then, keep on enjoying your summer.

I love seeing all the girls dress like the idol they adore

Yeah, that’s right. We got this out hot and fast since most of us will be gone for the next week. I felt like I was watching PriPara or something. You’ll see what I mean.

Sunsets make everything better

This was the best episode. That’s all. Maybe I’ll post my thoughts a bit later, but as usual, I don’t like influencing the viewers too much. And I’ll be putting up the banners shortly too.

And also again, this week (!!!) is AX. Super excited to be there and going to the concerts— AIKATSU STARS concert here when?

What in the world is a mangosteen?

Pretty great episode for the first one of the season that Elza wasn’t in at all. OTPs for everyone! Also strange foreign fruits.

By the way, I’ll be at AX every day. Maybe a thing can happen?

I wonder if you can guess what Alice’s last name is

Eat steak and spinach. Actually, I wonder how many people have seen that classic cartoon about a sailor who bulks up with a can of a certain green vegetable in this era.

So many style points on those pajamas

Yes, so good, all this Kakihara Yuuko. The symbolism, it sustains me. And all the new songs from the OST that I haven’t heard before. Now this is what I’m talking about.

Episode 059: Torrent | Magnet

Yay, Ayumi-san and Naho-san!

How do you eat fortune cookies (which originated in Japan)? Do you break it first, or take a bite first? I do the opposite of what Yume does, and I think she’s crazy the method she uses. Also, I hate to say it, but this was probably my personal weakest episode of Stars in the series. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it more.

Super cute bouldering outfits. Laura wins this round

Kirara was channeling Nina this episode for some reason, but more importantly there’s some really good setup and continuing storyline going on in the background. The Star Wings are giving a nice direction to the plot and tying together everything the girls do.

Episode 057: Torrent | Magnet

Karate versus kendo? I think kyuudo wins

Yeah, so this episode’s title is supposed to sound like “cat”. I’m too tired to think of anything clever, so I’ll just say happy belated Mother’s Day.

Episode 056: Torrent | Magnet

I like the one on the right with the really cool sword-looking hair

I’m going to be blunt: Yume was hit with a dumbass stick right in the head this episode. She lost her memory of pretty much all of the last four episodes. It looks like Nyaa’s loss affected her pretty badly. But hopefully she’ll be better starting next week.
