| Hello, This season introduced Meganii, Mascots/Managers, VR integration making this season to feel for me like Beta/Prequel of PriPara since from first episode of this season. This makes me feel confused, because everywhere I read it it said that these series are like successor of the PriPara series. Is anyone else has these Beta/Prequel of PriPara vibes watching this season? |

| I never thought about this before, but if Pretty Series were the serious sort of thing where such twists were common, I'd buy it. Cyalume Change was always a great feature, but I don't think we'll see a similar thing until the next overall Pretty Series entry. Everybody from Aira to Yui ended up in the 10th Anniversary Special Episode, and Yui has been showing up a lot lately. Maybe she'll end up being how things connect. PriChan reuses character songs a lot because the sales from the singles never got close to how much PriPara used to sell. That's probably why there have been two or three new PriPara albums since the series ended too. |
| Now that we know Idol Land PriPara is coming up next April (presumably), and that as per the tweeted images so far, Yui has fallen into a deep sleep and Shougo has to save her, it might turn out that Yui's appearance is related to that in some way. After all, PriChan is currently in PriChan Land, which is similar. I think, despite my Aikatsu! bias, the most mature of all the shows is Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live, which dealt with a lot of things like Hiro's mother being a prostitute, Kouji and Ito having to heal both of their families after a major traumatic incident, and the severe psychological issues Bell had to resolve around the end of the second cour. Outside of that, Aikatsu! is certainly more mature and streamlined in terms of story. PURETTY were a project by the South Korean agency that created T-ARA or something, and they were included/created because at the time Pretty Rhythm was a massive hit in South Korea and avex (who distributes Pretty Series music) wanted to get in on the Hallyu Wave. There's a rumor that a whole arc of Pretty Rhythm DMF was supposed to take place in South Korea but that was vetoed by the executives. I was sad to see them split up but Prizmmy were so great I really barely noticed. Aside from that, I wonder if I could change your mind on Dear My Future? I think it's quite a brilliant show, and I could put up my old musings on it on my blog here to see what you think. |

| I've posted everything on my MAL blog here, starting at the bottom of the page. I'll post my thoughts on Pretty Rhythm Rainbow Live there sometime soon too! I think there are advantages to watching weekly and others to watching the show all at once. When you watch the show in one go, you can see all the different elements and plotlines more clearly as they progress with each episode and arc, whereas weekly you can forget some details. But I think that's what rewatching is for! One of my favorite things about Dear My Future was the introduction of Dear Crown. I like Prism Stone, but Dear Crown as the 'rival' store of the Pretty Series is a really cool concept. Prizmmy didn't disband, but all the members did graduate. I think Reina performs in Sailor Moon musicals now. The main musicians for the Pretty Rhythm series now are i☆Ris and Run Girls, Run!, the latter of whom used to do songs mainly for Wake Up, Girls! Sometimes Wa~suta! also throw their two cents in, but not as often. Plus, none of the Wa~suta! idol unit members play any characters in the Pretty Series as far as I know. I think both have done a great job, but I wish we could get a more modern pop sound like Prizmmy used to do at some point in the future. |
| I actually think the ending theme to Lady Jewelpet was by Fairies? Prizmmy and Fairies were very similar when they were around. As for the younger idol groups, I do think life can be hard for them, especially when they decide to give up entertainment and live a normal life later on. |
