Well somebody finally gets her new CG (spoilers: it’s not Shion). So there are some notes, and a couple maybe are spoilers? So they’ll be after the break.

Drama audition episode, and as is the usual the song was not translated. Maybe later if you bug me. Ichigo does another kanji thing with 殺陣 (sword fighting), 立て (stand), 縦 (height), and 盾 (shield) (they’re all pronounced “tate”). The dojo sign just says 体技心 meaning body-technique-spirit. The books Sora uses as references say that Muslim women cover their entire bodies (I’m serious). Yeah, not even I know why it took so long to do this episode.

Febris is the Roman goddess of fever, both causing it and protecting from it. And I hope you remember Sakura’s second episode and the Mastery of Communication, because similar things are brought up.

Full rankings below. You’ll need to look at the episode 83 post for the full story.
There was some goddamn A+ tier voice work by Otome this episode. By the way, you might notice some inconsistencies in this episode, specifically the fact that Otome was retconned into calling everyone with the “tan” suffix (she only started that after a while, check the 1-50 batch post for the exact episode). Also, I only noticed that Makoto is voiced by a certain Miki Shinichirou this episode. If you don’t recognize him by name (I sure don’t), then perhaps you should ask yourself if this episode was entirely a lie, and if something can’t surpass the original just because it’s a fake. Interesting info for next episode after the break.

Lots of pairs, lots of partners, lots of stages, and lots of the same thing. If you’re unsatisfied with the episode I suggest using that imagination you’ve been cultivating.

There’s not really anything in particular to say. Oh, but you’ll find an interesting language in the script if you so choose to look.

Thank you, Sakura, for another impossible to translate pun. I hope none of you are linguists. Also, enjoy your parallels between the fifth episode of this cour and the fifth episode of the first season.

You know all that character development, relationship building, and cast interactions that’ve been going on for the last 78 episodes? Well, they’re still important. Also, I declare as of this episode that Seira and DreAca have been completely redeemed from the injustice Sunrise did them in the first half. And leave your Yurika goggles at home, you won’t be needing them (though these two certainly will).

I was going to write a note about ferrets or something, but it really doesn’t matter. Mezashite does not condone the use of illegal graffiti. Aikatsu responsibly.
Also, wish Maria a happy birthday, since she’s long since relegated to being a third-class character.
