Aikatsu! – 21

Well, it’s time once again for our new every-six-episode event. Can you guess what that is?  Anyway, we were going to translate the background song (appearing for the second time outside a concert now) but would rather get you a fast release without cluttering the climactic scene.  I’ll think about just writing up a text translation sometime this week, but no promises.  If you’re curious, you can listen to the full version here.

Ichigos, strawberries, etc. You know the drill.

Ichigos, strawberries, etc. You know the drill.

Arg, my first draft of this was erased.  Anyway, we finally get silver hair from the OP we’ve been waiting for.  So here’s the one potential note: gap moe.  If you don’t know what that is, it’s basically the moe you feel in response to the dissonance between how you expect a person to be and how he/she actually is (such as a delinquent actually having a soft spot for small animals).  Anyway, enjoy your gap.

"Oh ho, why not whore ourselves?"

“Oh ho, why not whore ourselves?”

>mfw no Valentine’s chocolate

I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself but post both of these images. I hope you’ll forgive my insolence.  And so, please enjoy your Valentine’s Day gift, because Madoka knows you won’t be getting anything else this Thursday.

Right then, onwards to part two of the special Ichigo/Mizuki concert.  Apparently I had already figured out the big reveal in this episode and then forgotten all about it at some point, but I’m pretty sure I just completely missed it (and it’s not as if there were a huge amount of clues anyway). Either way, enjoy another climax episode— I know I did.

Reminder that you can also get the episode off of Kotoura-chan on our irc channel.

Hello, operator? I think I've lost it.

Hello, operator? I think I’ve lost it.

Oh man, it’s finally our first plot spanning two whole episodes.  After watching, if you think this episode’s idoling was good, you can bet next week’s will be even better. I can’t even imagine what sort of things lie on the other side of this concert.  Let’s tanoshimi, bitches.

And oh yeah, I don’t think we actually mentioned this yet, but we finally have an xdcc bot of our own, generously donated by Yuyu.  It goes by the name of Kotoura-chan, and can be found on our irc channel #[email protected]

What you say?!

What you say?!

Woo, more Aikatsu! Unfortunately, no aphorism this week either due to the joint thingy with Tamagocchi.  We can only hope it comes back soon. And speaking of things that are missing, I think a few of you might notice a certain something else that is not so inconspicuously absent this week. Enjoy.

I wish she's eat my adult chocolate.

I wish she’d eat my adult chocolate.

Aaand we’re back to our first series after a two week long break.  Is it just me or are things starting to get serious?  I’m obviously referring to how evil Otome-chan is and how much of an enabler she’s being.  Anyway, enjoy your fat moe.

Let me axe you a question

What diverse Aikatsu…

Merry Christmas, everyone! Here’s your weekly reminder that Ichigo’s name still means strawberry.  Also, the name of the person with the card is Itsumo Miteru, which means “Always Watching”.  Think about that for a while.

Oh, and no episode next week.  We’ll be getting out the special (which is a recap with some extras) in that time.
