I love this hat so much
It seems like this series’ mascot has been born.
How could anyone refuse a request from this idol witch?
Looks like I Aikatsu’d a bit too hard this weekend traveling and seeing friends I haven’t met since original Aikatsu started airing. Either that, or Mirai and her mind-blowing GOAT song and performance took my brain a while to catch up with enough to actually do. Although it’s out a day late, I’ll remind everyone what our Mezashite policy has always been and will always be: Releases will always be before the next episode airs, and we’ve not broken this promise even once. At least the wait is worth it for this.
I get distracted by butterflies too
Maika descends! I’ll take this opportunity for the most basic rundown of her name, which I feel like I haven’t done in a long time. 蝶野 舞花, just to give the important meanings, contains the kanji for butterfly, dance, and flower. Hope that helps explain the episode title and all her butterfly motifs. Although it was great getting so much Maika this ep, I feel like they went a tiny bit overboard with characterization. Like one or two points could’ve easily been left for a future episode (especially one near the end), but overall it was still fun. And there are even more hints of a rather interesting development that may be coming; the only question is when it’ll hit.
