Aikatsu Stars 84

This episode finally we gets an “explanation” of why Ako being so nonchalant about not getting Star wings. She was not participating in the Aikatsu ranking and was supposed to focus her work as an actress. To be honest, I think it’s just a bullshit reason as it does not even explain why Ako is not at least getting a normal PR as a S4. I swear Bamco just made up the random reason recently because of the backlash of Ako not getting SPRs.

The idols in Venus Ark really have issues in independence, being all too dependant on Elza, first Rei, now even Kirara. There must be something wrong in the Venus Ark education system after all. In the end, I feel like Kirara just switches her dependance from Elza to Ako.

Other than the above issues, overall this is a really cute episode. Kirara and Ako together are just too cute and also fun. Elza looks like she is still deep in depression though.
