I'm only giving this a 7 rating because all of the characters I love are here. I honestly don't like the protagonist this time. She's impulsive and annoying although it lessens as the show continues. I don't see any depth in her character except for her wish to produce a premium dress of her own(?) I don't really see her as someone relevant in the anime. Although some would argue that it was her aikatsu pass that brought their worlds together, that's the only argument I could count as counting her to be a relevant character. All of the characters instantly clicked together and she's justthere... like a newly born chick surrounded by top idols added like an extra in her own show.

Or I could be judging it wrong since the standards have been high for Aikatsu since the original. This would've been a far greater series if only the protagonist wasn't so simple-minded and impulsive (and please stop saying 'Kyah' and 'Lucky' all the time).
