Pretty great so far, like a modern take on some classic little girl show ideas. You can start with it just fine, nothing at this point connects it with the previous shows.
>>
>>287953980
Aikatsu machines are still dead. They are making new ones with a different cabinet based on OGkatsu though.
>>
>>287954078
It's perfectly fine as a starting point, it's stand alone and has just started so it's easy to catch up to watch weekly. If you want to watch a completed show along with it to really get into the genre, some common recommended starting points are shows like the original Aikatsu (spokon + idols), PriPara (wacky comedy + idols), or Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live (intense drama + idols). Can't go wrong with any of them!

If Tamaki wants to be fat and lazy, maybe she'll devolve into an otaku later on... it'd be ironic if she made an itaroom full of Big Red Dork merch.

as someone who has only watched 10-12 episodes of aikatsu 1st season, is gen 1 shilled that much? I wanna know.
I thought ichigo was cool because she was doing action hero shit in an idol anime. is she the only one to those stunts that's why season 1 is so popular?

I gotta finish season 1...
>>
>>287957899
ichigo is a strong independent black woman and that's why we all love her
>>
>>287957899
you shouldn't have posted this ainon, a shitstorm always ensues whenever someone hasn't watched aikatsu or pripara, brace yourself

and S1 is shilled because it was simply very good, which is also in part why aikatsu died: it peaked too early and next entries could never hope to live up to it even partially

so im guessing for 2nd half of S2 since people say they disliked the first half but liked the 2nd half
dream academy girls take a backseat for whatever new girls as the older cast starts graduating and show starts focusing on the new cast of girls
>>
>>287959994
Yes, but the character nuance and more importantly the different kinds of relationships they cause to form was the primary point of AiPri so it's not a fair comparison when that wasn't something Pripara was trying to do. Looking at it the opposite way, if you view AiPri through the lens of Pripara, you'd similarly conclude that AiPri poorly delivers on the themes of unity and friendship because it blatantly focuses on HimaMitsu above all else. They're just different shows with different aims and subjects.
I will say though that AiPri impressed me by not flanderizing any of the S1 characters, Sakura could have easily become one note with her Mii obsession for how much the joke started to reappear but they still kept her roots as a cool character going.

She's not the only one who does that stuff, plenty of other idols throughout Aikatsu do actiony stuff. It does get more rare as time goes on though.

>>287957959
It really should be mentioned more that Aikatsu peaked at a time when Precure was in a slump and Pripara was still around the corner. It was a very small window of opportunity but they made sure to exploit it. That year 2 success bought them a lot of time to try new approaches to the show too.

Will aurora dream or pripara get a remake first?
>>
>>287961442
Realistically neither of them would get remade, but even then AD would be less likely both because of the rights issues and because it was less of a hit than Pripara. The best AD would get is a KinDra style film like what Hishida has suggested doing for RL. Pripara wouldn't get remade anytime soon because it's still ongoing, Idol Land's game is still alive and well plus theres the unannounced DanPri project and whatever the Idol Land leaks were. Frankly I don't want any remakes and would prefer they continue moving the series forward with new content like they're currently doing.

HimiPri's lack of appeal is probably due to the fact that it had toned down its gay elements due to broadcasting regulations, but I guess that can't be helped... although it's debatable whether it was actually restrained at all.
