1. I hope they continue the drama play that Tsubasa's in. I have to see her become a flight attendant!

2. S4 + M4 = S&M or S∞M

3. Why do you think birds can fly? [My answer: 'Cuz they're bored as hell.]

Almost Shocked, i thought Yume might change her mind of joining acting class instead after the meaningful chat with Tsubasa. Yume joining singing class part of it is because her favourite idol Hime is there. But it might not be bad if she joins the acting class also, its a big change for Aikatsu if our main character is not singing.

The chat with Tsubasa really is great, which links back to the chat with Momoko sensei. Their talk really is meaningful, "why the birds can fly".

Yume's teacher Hibiki sensei good in teaching o.0 Yume almost can do well in the training there, but fail when she tried a few times later. Laura has evolved to be even better at supporting Yume and a rival to her, believe her. Just as Laura said, even if is just a fluke cannot perform that good.

Pure pink coordi huh, not bad i guess. Like always, singing/dancing is part of it, but to convey the feelings is important. Laura no.1 in singing class, Yume last as expected.

Subaru from M4 for now a supporting character, but when will it change to love interest? No one knows. There should be no romance in Aikatsu series !!

The acting part is interesting tease
I would like to see Aikatsu episode where the story focus on struggling story in acting that is quite refreshment.

But they can make males relevant this time than in previous series.
for obvious part, making Subaru and M4 become irrevelant is wasteful. The introduction of male idols has opened a new trees in Aikatsu franchises which waiting further for expansion.
I doubt Bandai introduced them only for shipping teases.

I am looking forward to see more male section
i think boy section are different faculty with another headmaster on same academy, notice it when Yume met Subaru for the first time Subaru wear his casual clothes, that time it was entrance ceremony day as S4 counterpart he should on duty to welcomed the freshmans but he did not which could imply Boy section and Girl section are different part coin.
the M4 name already made difference
S4 = Four star academy
M4 = Four Moon academy??

Sado4 and Maso4 i could not help to think those names are implying that way.

seems S4 more functioning than I thought. That's nice.
Yeah, I also thought Yume following Tsubasa's path. But, it really makes sense how each individual respond their fight with their own reason.

Tsubasa want became number one too, but cause she already saw Hime, she gave up. on other hand, roadblocks Yume is Lora. Even though, she still chose utagumi. There's no wrong or right answers on that.

Getting annoyed that Yume is so bad at everything--especially after she gave an "amazing" performance (they all seem the same to me).

Also, remember how in Aikatsu season 1 there was a huge emphasis not just on special appeals, but on the NUMBER of special appeals an idol could do?? Ever since that season it has really moved away from that, which makes it harder for the audience to judge which performances stand out more than the others. Well, except for Ichigo's performance in the Aikatsu Movie when her aura pretty much engulfed the entire stage--that was pretty obviously the best performance seen then and since then in the entire franchise.

What are you now talking about eizeral? She just start her first year in idol middle school.
Well her first performance were kind of S4 level when aura were shining really bright, we haven't got on that yet why it happen to her.
She don't even remember it.
That's still a mysterious but we only at episode 3.
We don't know how Aikatsu system are made off, they just put cards there and enter machine put clothes like that.

I still like this new Aikatsu.

Don't get me wrong, I still like the show! I just wish...idk. I wish it didn't take so long for the subs to come out lol. I'm probably just impatient though, because I only started watching Aikatsu a few months ago and was able to watch every episode back to back, so having to wait for the plot to progress in Aikatsu isn't something I'm used to :P

Subs are out, and once again i really liked this episode, nice to see background of Tsubasa, and i like Yume mindset "I love singing, and i hope i can show it to others, despie not being good as rest girls" and i love how honest she was, even after figuring out, that Subaru is someone famous

Actually, I've come to realize that a boys' section being right next to the girls' section makes absolutely no sense.

If such an idol school were to actually exist, this would not happen. Idols aren't allowed to engage in romance, and having a large group of attractive boys within spitting distance would majorly increase the chances of behind-the-scenes relationships.

I mean, it's not like I expect Aikatsu to be realistic, but there is a line...

Uh, I guess the episode itself was okay.

I wonder if this time we will see any actual romance, which I would be okay with it. Interesting to see that Tsubasa had a rivalry with Hime but either way, she is perfect in acting too.

S4+M4 = G8

Idk I thought that group name sounded better.

Overall I'm not really bothered by Yume's memory loss in regards to her 1st performance. I want to see her grow as a character and improve in her Aikatsu. Plus she has a rival. As for the boys, it certainly adds an interesting touch to the show, boy idols.

I'm liking the Laura/Yume interactions. When she gave Yume cake I thought to myself these two are going to be BFF rivals. It appears Laura/Yume will be the Aoi/Ichigo of this show since Koharu hasn't had much interaction with Yume or screen time.

Yume saying she doesn't care for M4 is pretty funny. Not sure I'm sold on the male idols yet, but the one with the brown hair and the one with the green hair and glasses look cute/adorable. I think the dynamic between Yume and Laura is great, I hope they continue to keep it friendly and inspire each other.

I only have one major hangup with this show so far. I don't mind Yume growing and improving as an idol. Her starting out OP would be pretty cliche and boring to watch, however having her preform the same song and dance really doesn't make any sense, at all. To my eye, this performance she's given for the third time now, has been exactly identical to the other two times. Her voice doesn't change a bit and there is no visual or audible indication that there is a reduction in the quality of her performance. The S4 idols comment that her 3rd performance lacks the same spark it did during her debut, but of course it would, if you've seen exactly the same thing for the third time lol.

Of course I'm not expecting Yume to be perfect, she's a teenage girl who just got into singing. The other girls all have a leg up on her. All i'm saying is that I hope they could have had at least have some more variation to her performances than a costume lol. I know this show is targeted to younger girls, but kids aren't stupid. At least the song she sang was pretty catchy.

3/5
I couldn't think of anything cool to put here.

There is always like that, people who bounded with nostalgia so it became difficult for them to accept new things

It was kind of a Meh kind of episode, they repeated the same 3D animation with the same audio, just in a different outfit.

Yep, this is definitely starting to remind me of Starmyu more & more. It also seems like Stars is taking a similar route as Idol Time with boys idols. M4 is giving me some serious WITH vibes.
