Aikatsu Friends ep 54. Another strong and wholesome episode. Aine trying to act like an “adult” was amazing. I support Hibiki’s advice to her that she should just be herself, because there’s plenty of people who like her just the way she is. They’ve done a solid job of establishing Hibiki’s role in this show. Mirai’s scene were all great because she’s just too powerful. Wakaba was pretty cute, too. Wouldn’t mind more of her.
Senryuu Shoujo ep 4. The new girl is a sleeves-too-long type, which is a good type. I liked the bit where the club prez is describing Eiji’s type, and the camera is looking right at Nanako, who fits it perfectly. Nanako and Kino “talking” to each other was cute. Also, this has pretty good voice work for a show about characters not being able to communicate.
Star Twinkle ep 13. In this ep, Lala goes to school and discovers that it fucking sucks, lol. I liked the ep’s theme of Lala thinking she has to make herself fit in, and Hikaru telling her to just be herself. This ep was pretty melancholy for this series, until Kappard showed up and started sky-surfing.
BokuBen ep 4. This show is kinda dumb, but still enjoyable. I feel like this show could be better if it was just about any one of these girls, and the rest of the show was built around her growth. But this just ain’t aiming that high.
