Before I started Aikatsu Stars (AiStars from now on), I was kind of worried. I’ve heard from multiple places that it ruined Aikatsu, that it turns to crap at a certain point of a show, stuff like that. Since I’ve heard those things about the 2nd season of Aikatsu and I ended up very much liking it*, I said, okay, how about watching it and finding it out yourself? It was indeed a disappointment, but in a positive way. In the end, it became my favorite show of all time second only to Ichigogen, also known as the first 2 seasons of the original Aikatsu

After the amazing experience I had with the original Aikatsu, Stars had a big challenge to face trying to live up to its quality, did it succeed? Definitely!
Aikatsu Stars keeps most of what makes the franchise shine with it's wholesomeness, heartwarming moments, and the constant pain in your mouth due to how much you're smiling watching it, but what this entry has is considerably more drama and serious moments through the story attached to the character development of the cast. If you prefer that this is a big bonus towards trying out Stars, while not really being a negative if you liked the original and ... May 15, 2016
With the common motif in the anime being cliche, it also demonstrates it's own repetition. Many of the songs are reused numerous times, even in the same episode. The dress maker transformation seems to happen every episode as a filler. The predictability of the plot and the characters being your basic shoujo/idol main characters does not make me want to finish the series. This is your typical 'cute girl' anime while the live performance costumes ruin the 'cute.' I would not want to continue watching this anime to see if it gets better. In conclusion: if you watch one

I have watched aikatsu since the first original one and the first season of aikatsu itself is really good in my opinion.
Though, it become more 'weird' and having no clear direction of the story, after it ended, I have quite high hopes for aikatsu stars. Still, Aikatsu stars has some similarities with the original aikatsu which some makes me happy and some not. For the characters for instance, I don't know why but I kinda think that they are kind of running out of ideas in making new characters? because in my opinion, almost every main character are like fusion of two characters from the original one. Like ... Apr 15, 2018
Story: 7
As with the original Aikatsu!, this series focused on idols, daily idol activities and competitions, which is typical in this franchise. For an anime aimed at kids, this was particularly well done, but I did notice that unlike in the original, this one had a slightly more mature tone that the original lacked, which made it enjoyable for the older audience. I won't say anything more to avoid spoiling but the drama in this was definitely heavier than its predecessor. Art: 10 The art is one of the strongest points in Stars!. Everything is so detail-focused that it's hard to say anything bad about the art ... Mar 29, 2018
Story: 7/10
Great, just like all the other Aikatsu anime, they are all aiming to be top idols. Sometimes everything is repetitive, of course, to be expected since it's 100 episodes and it's an idol anime. Art:8/10 The art is kiddish, well it's an anime for children but regardless, I like the animation. Sound: 8/10 I like the music in this anime although it would be nice if they didn't dance to the same song for so long. Character: 5/10 ... Nov 24, 2019
Of all the Aikatsu series so far, Stars is the most difficult to rank - partly because it doesn't seem to know what it's supposed to be.
STORY: 5 The separation of classes creates an unequal skill balance between the many, many characters, and makes their competitive stories far less interesting, given tit makes the results of every audition even more predictable. Right from the start, it's clear that only one character can ever achieve their goals, and it's going to be the lead. At least in previous Aikatsu seasons, the lead wasn't always - in fact, rarely was - the winner. Then, there's the second season. ... Mar 27, 2017
[SPOILER WARNING]
I have seen everything. All of the original aikatsu episodes,the movie,ovas,specials etc.Now theres the newest aikatsu franchise which is aikatsu stars.As a huge aikatsu fan I of course loved this anime.It had everything I asked for cute girls,really nice 3D animated performances,and of course some cool fashion.As I write this I am on episode 49.I really love aikatsu and its such a fun,girly idol anime and I don't know if someone who is not into idol anime will enjoy this anime as much as i will. I feel like this as the first season was sorta flawed I feel like alot of more characters could've been ... Jun 11, 2020
Before I start I'd like to just state as of this I've only seen S1 of Aikatsu Friends so I'm still pretty new into the franchise.
Story Wise: 6.5 I may have given it a 7 in the but that's only because the rating system allows but I don't believe it deserves a 6. To be honest I'm very mixed on aspects of Aikatsu Stars. The first season 1-50 was really enjoyable as we got the growth of all the characters who were more than just background characters. I tend to classify characters in to 3 groups. Main, Main Supporting, and Sub Supporting. Sub ... Nov 28, 2021
Thank you for Aikatsu Stars!
I enjoyed Aikatsu Stars very much! I love original Aikatsu so I watched this series. This series are somewhat inferior to original Aikatsu but it is pretty worth watching. Aikatsu series describe friendship well. Also this series do that well. I like Yume and Raula's friendship, Yuzu and Lilly's friendship, Yozora and Mahiru's family relationship. I like older S4 especially Yuzu and Yozora. Yuzu is quiet tolerant person and she is always worried about someone, she has warm heart. Yozora is always worried about her younger sister Mahiru. She is ideal sister, I think. ... Apr 5, 2023
Honestly, I had pretty middle of the road expectations. Previously I was watched a few episodes of Aikatsu friends when it debuted and it was very alright. It was honestly a surprise to be a lot more engage with it. With Stars, there's a focus given by the story and world building. There wasn't an episode where it felt force because the general plot help give the characters some focus, even if said episodes had nothing to do with the story.
I really appreciate the constant theme of having the girls lose, being able to grieve for their failures before trying again, usually by changing their ... |
