| Aikatsu! series 5th anniversary |
For those who are unfamiliar with the Aikatsu franchise, you are not alone, ladies and gentlemen, even moms and dads whose kids want to know about the Aikatsu series. It's an arcade collectible card game part of the Bandai DATA CARDDASS range of machines first launched in October 2012 and spawned its TV anime adaptation, making it a popular cross-media project among little girls in Japan. In the first three seasons, it's all about Ichigo Hoshimiya and her friends, Ran Shibuki and Aoi Kiriya, on their adventures at Starlight Gakuin to become top idols, but when the fourth and final season came, all eyes on Akari Ozora as the star of the show. After the end of the Aikatsu anime in the spring of 2016, its successor series, Aikatsu Stars! comes in and it's about Yume Nijino and Rola Sakuraba taking their first steps at the Yotsuboshi Gakuin to become top idols, just like the elite idol students of this academy known as the S4. This show is currently on its 2nd season as Yume and the gang venturing on the Venus Ark with interesting characters prying their eyes on them.
Think of it like a child-friendly alternative of THE IDOLM@STER and Love Live in every tangible way, that is only when it faces stiff competition against Takara Tomy's Pretty Rhythm, PriPara, and now Idol Time Pripara. When little boys had their fun with Pokemon, Yo-kai Watch, Detective Conan, the Power Rangers, or all of the Kamen Rider heroes, little girls had a choice of either Pretty Cure, PriPara, Cocotama, or this. Aikatsu is very popular among little girls in Japan because they can create their character, collect dresses and accessories, and watch them shine while listening to some very catchy Aikatsu songs that's gonna be the dead of every pre-school teacher playing it on the loop.
Anyway, spare the explanation because after observing through every piece of Aikatsu in existence, let's jot down the best five according to my criteria.
