| Skips winning made me bump my score from an 8 to a 6. I mean, apart from the one-day manager audition, did Akari ever lose something this season? At least next episode looks interesting, a lot of people might hate DreAca, but I actually really missed them.. |
| I am so disappointed. Dancing Diva's performance is much better imo ToQYuLovely said: Skips winning made me bump my score from an 8 to a 6.

I like Akari but she needs to learn to lose. |

ToQYuLovely said: Skips winning made me bump my score from an 8 to a 6. Why? The show made it pretty clear why Skips won over DanDiva. Even Orihime herself said they deserved it more despite the inferior performance. vitaxlilium said: I like Akari but she needs to learn to lose. That's nonsense. Akari is the only character that actually legitimately struggled with her Aikatsu. She has been at the absolute bottom. She almost dropped out of Starlight because she couldn't do a special appeal. Ichigo's career was a cakewalk compared to that. |

Ichigo's career was a cakewalk compared to that. Now that I think about it you're right. I remember that being a reason I liked Akari more than Ichigo. I just really love Dancing Diva lol |

| Dudes... Ichigo is like the Super Idol... She started out with Talent by actually doing an Appeal like it's natural, LOL And she's basically the daughter of the Greatest Legendary Idol... It's part of why she's so awesome tho. Akari did started out with nothing, no real Talent, she was just a regular on the street type of girl that entered into the Idol world because of Super Idol Ichigo... And all Akari did was "copy" Ichigo because that's all she could do as an Idol... She didn't start to be herself until Ichigo told her to, LOL. Tho I do agree that DancingDiva should have won, the performance and song was just much greater (plus I like Sumire the mini-Mizuki, LOL) Feels like Skips cheated because they were "searching for their Dress"... While DancingDiva had everything in order because they were a better Unit... Meaning... the "Fans" support Skips more because they weren't as organized as DancingDiva. Kinda like rewarding the weaker underdogs out of Pity sort of thing... |

Feels like Skips cheated because they were "searching for their Dress"... While DancingDiva had everything in order because they were a better Unit... Meaning... the "Fans" support Skips more because they weren't as organized as DancingDiva. Kinda like rewarding the weaker underdogs out of Pity sort of thing... ^Part of the reason why I think it's unfair for them to win. I don't dislike Akari, but after all that struggle she went through during season 2, her character didn't seem to develop any longer now with season 3. like after only 5 episodes dedicated to her, the staff thought she already did too much and everything is now just handed to her, not only does she barely get any losses, but she has 3 premiums and will most likely get a 4th at the end of the season. in other words, she accomplished in 1 year what Ichigo did in 3 years (if you count the 1 year time skip between s1 and s2). I mean, sure, I do agree that Ichigo started out pretty OP, but her development during the 1st season felt pretty well- paced unlike Akari where she developed in 5 episodes in a season that isn't even hers, like at this point, it wouldn't surpise me if Akari ends taking the top idol title from Ichigo sooner or later.. You know what I mean, even though that might seems like it bothers me I still love the show dearly, it's just that Akari needed a little more struggle this season instead. |
| Won by main character power. The whole thing didn't really matter to me once Passion Jalapeno lost, anyway. |
| I had Skips winning the cup, but I do agree, DanDiva should have won. They had everything in their favor. Skips only won because of those cards that were lost. If we assume it didn't happen, DanDiva takes the cup. It honestly annoys me how Akari gets handed those premiums so easily. When we look back at past idols like Ran, she had to work very hard just to get one premium. Oh but Akari gets premiums left and right. I don't take anything away from Akari, but she should be given a bit more struggle. Sooner or later she'll be Mizuki 2.0, too OP. Sumire may be a mini Mizuki, but her character development has been nicely done. Come to think of it, I think she only has one premium, back when she went to visit Yurika's designer. It was a nice Units cup. Hopefully in the next one, there is no sudden accident like misplaced cards. Preview: Oh snap, DreAca girls are back.!!!! |

| The Unit Cup was worth it to see all of those great performances back to back, but I didn't really care for the results. I think Dancing Diva would have won regardless of even the dress drama, because they are the most famous established unit and have a hit single out. But I guess what bothered me was that if the dress problem had happened to any other unit, they would have done the same thing and looked for the dress up until the last minute. Skips isn't "special" for trying to find it so hard? idk. I agree with people that Akari's character development seemed to stop after S2 (in that she climbed from the very bottom to pretty much coasting near the top). Despite that the show keeps mentioning how much she has "grown," nothing has really happened to push her or challenge her since her generation took over. I still like her, but overcoming those challenges last season is what made her character so endearing. I don't think she is a Mizuki 2.0, though. Also, this is just poking at holes in the plot for no reason, but why are there only 8 units in the cup, with at least 5 of them being made of 1 and 2 year students? Are there no strong senpai in the entire school, lol? And I could SWEAR that "Shampoo and Rinse" was a unit name idea for Skips or Dancing Diva, so idk why the show would use that as an official name for another unit. |
| I didn't like Skips winning. For me I prefer either Dancing Diva or Fluffy Nadesico. |
| Skips got the win via unintended emotional manipulation in the cards search, just as planned. Another nice two performances, I liked this unit cup! |
 |
Dancing Diva's performance was maybe a bit better, but I'm still happy that Skips won. |
 |
| It was a nice touch to see how carefully Akari handled each fan present when searching for the cards. I like how her growth swells up from her natural cheer, much like a flower that replenishes through the rain and blooms when the sun shines once more. |
 |
| I don't understand why most of the comment doesnt support skip winning though In my opinion skip deserved it Especially Akari cause she was a supportive character that help her friend growth all this time and how hard she do her best is really a good point |
| Dancing Diva performance is definitely the best amongst all the competitors in the unit cup. But that cards search in Skips backstage report not only moved the idols but also the audience as well. An incident for Skips really brings fortune for their unit. |
