THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
it seems like this season is going to be like Aikatsu Stars season 2. they now introduced gem dresses that only chosen idols can have the privilege to wear them. Hibiki's Ruby dress was as impressive as Aikatsu Star's Sun dress, and that was "only" the ruby dress. i cant wait to see more of those exclusive gem dresses. :p i would expect that Alicia have the sapphire dress, or possibly an emerald dress. the dress shining during the live performance feels like it was heavily inspired by pripara (they did the dress shining thing for ages). i wonder why Alicia doesnt want to be Friends with Hibiki though.

Shouldn't this series be just merged into Aikatsu Friends?

Liked the OP,ED meh.

I don't like Aine's new hair style.

As per the usual for every Aikatsu alliteration I only hope this second season won't be another DreAca.

Hibiki is like a mix of Juri and Keade,fiery like Juri and eccentric like Keade (even had a similar entrance as her). Alicia seems to be the opposite icy cold.

We have our new Akari

Damn. This episode has too much WINNING in it! My hype and expectation levels are already through the roof. Hibiki has such a stunning resemblance to past Aikatsu personalities like Elza and Juri. Aine's hairstyle I can give a salute to as well!

So much for trying to catch up on the new anime season's premieres and stuff. Could they possibly come close to something this explosive? Maybe, but there's no doubt Kagayaki no Jewel is already setting the bar unfairly high in my book.

It was OK episode. Idol from space is really interesting. I was wondering, does it take 50 episodes to help space idol, or less? So many questions..

Really liked this episode, very interesting themes, maybe similar to aikatsu stars but still good.

we will see if this is good enough, wanted a new aikatsu series already that ends this only 2 people units, but expected the lenght of Stars.

Hibiki is really good addition, girl is funny.

I totally forgot about this series having a second season...

I laughed hard at this:

For some reason, this just looks really funny to me... not sure why...

That was a strong first impression, Hibiki is full of passion and she showed it with her personality and a nice dance, lots of fun moments and hype start for this second season of Friends.

I don't like the idea of them in the space Twinkle Precure came with the idea first (or they were fastest). The dress idea isn't new either... no much hope for this series.

Oh, man. I'm already beyond hyped with this episode! It really went in strong. I'm definitely sure that this is a direction some people aren't that on board with, but it sounds fun and adventurous to me.

Everyone is looking fresh af. Aine's new hairstyle, especially, was hard not to notice.

I'm loving Hibiki already. Her flamboyance is similar to Juri, who I absolutely adored for that quality. I'm not surprised at all that she is a sexy-type idol, hot damn! lol

I guess it was an okay episode.

Hibiki's debut was rather dramatic and random, lol. Her performance was nice. The song was ok.

Both OP/ED were decent, but nothing amazing.

I already know this is not going to beat the first season, but oh well. I still like all these characters so much.

Hibiki was quite unhinged and charismatic but at least far more likable than Elza. I don't really like the OP/ED that much and now I really miss Love Me Tear songs. It's too early to tell where is this going but let's see.
