Imo, Hinaki is such a good yet extremely underrated character. and this episode just proves that. 11/10.

I didn't even care about Luminas' debut.

Yeah, it was really well written. I didn't like Hinaki at first, but recent episodes have had me reconsidering that.

@vodall same. I never /disliked/ Hinaki but I just thought she was really boring and kind of superfluous. Also, it always annoyed me that Yuu was not the third girl in the group. I still don't know why the show couldn't have kept her as a main character tbh.

Kind of bummed the show literally skipped over any Aikatsu8 concerts/shenanigans. STAR ANIS episodes in S1 and Aikatsu8 episodes in S2 were fun, and it was cool to see songs performed in bigger groups.

I am excited to see more new units being formed, though. I really didn't care for the new song this week haha.

I didn't like how Luminas made their debut. Would have been better if they held a press conference seeing as how the three are already big idols.

Hinaki here was very underrated. While I prefer Ran in the fashion sense, her idol career has been quite interesting. It would have been nice if she paired up with Juri and another girl

This episode was amazing! I really liked this focus on Hinaki after her not getting chosen unlike her two friends Akari and Sumire, her drop in morale could't have been fixed better than with Kayoko's appreciation towards her, I would be lying if I said that seeing how she sees Hinaki as her muse didnt make me tear up.

I'll say, this was fantastic follow up to Aikatsu8. I haven't been that invested into Hinaki, but I really adored this focus on her. She basically developed the way I imagined Akari would have if she hadn't been chosen for Aikatsu8. I near teared up when Kayoko called Hinaki her muse. The highest honor a creator can offer to express her inspiration.

So now it's time for Muse Music Star--wrong anime-- time for Luminas to shine! Their debut performance was so pleasantly soothing - very fitting for Hinaki in particular.

On another note, Aikatsu has me constantly stopping to look up these fairy tales (never heard of Bremen until today).

Good Hinaki focused episode. Looks like I need to watch Aikatsu8 Music Awards. Luckily I watch the aphorism to find out. Luminas is a pretty good name.
