Aikatsu! – 157

HOLY SHIT LOOK WHO IT IS

HOLY SHIT LOOK WHO IT IS

Aikatsu, fuck yeah! No character left behind, ever. Also, a bit of expansion of what Dolly Devil is supposed to be like, so I hope you’ve brushed up on your gyaru fashion and definitions. Also, it’s incredible how much the staff love NonoRisa. You can really tell that they’re putting their hearts into everything that has them in it.

We weren’t convinced on what to put the audition name as, Heartthrob Karat or Tokimeki Karat. On the one hand, there’s an okay translation. On the other, it actually shows the name in romaji as Tokimekikarat. Just imagine the one you prefer. This episode also had the very first insert song and concert scene in all of Aikatsu that I can remember. It’s always just been one or the other whenever there’s a drama episode. Tell me if I’m wrong.

PS: I totally forgot to give credit to the alternate translation choice for なまら. Whenever we face a question like this about what important word choice to use the alternatives don’t usually get out, but this time I feel like giving credit where credit is due. I picked “mightily”, because I felt that the notion of Akari-tachi never having heard a word before was more important. Etoce wanted “full”, because an archaic meaning of that is really/very, and he thought they should be confused about the usage of the word. There’s no right answer, but now you know.

Alright, finally, we’re done with the second season of Kinmoza. Did you enjoy it? I… well, wasn’t particularly moved. But whether you liked it or not, you should definitely watch Wakaba Girl, which is by the same author and is so much better. I’m glad I could keep my promise and get this out before next season. Keep an eye out for more Aikatsu, probably the only thing we’re doing next season.

Apparently their Starlight wardrobes also include color matching work clothes

That’s it, the last episode of our third season of Aikatsu. It’s been three whole years, and I feel like we’re still sticking to our original philosophy of making subs with love. In fact, it’s so much love we seem to go through an average of one encoder a year. So there are apparently some easter eggs in this episode’s performance, the times it happens should stick out pretty clearly. We also chose the best name we could for the vehicle you see above. Say your farewells, because next episode is potatoes.

Where have I seen this before...

Where have I seen this before…

The climactic and penultimate episode. I suppose this is the third time I’ve been able to say this now, and hopefully that will continue for long into the future. This episode embodies exactly what Aikatsu is and has been from the very start. I hope you’ll continue watching it with me as we make many more memories in the future on the road to encounters.

Were you aware that “tristar” means three stars? Guess how many times they remind you. And now with little warning, we’ve hit one hundred and fifty episodes. It’s too early to get sentimental though, we still must resolve the School Festival.
