| more material for the lolicons |
| Looking forward to it! After 134 episodes, Aikatsu has yet to get dull for me. The first movie should be out on Blu-ray soon too. |
| More material for my 9/10 score :) |
 |
| Isn't this milking? |
vodall said: Wow calm down, I hadn't heard of Aikatsu not too long ago. Simply asked a question whether they were just making mindless sequels or side stories. But alrightKlad said: Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's being milked. I mean, I hate Pretty Cure, but that franchise has an insane amount of movies and seasons with no end in sight, so I don't bother saying anything about it. Aikatsu is currently bringing in more money than PreCure (and recently inspired its own Sunrise subdivision), so this announcement should really be no surprise.Isn't this milking? |
| I might get back to the Aikatsu franchise someday. That trailer looks interesting. |
 |
| I would be hype but I'm way behind, awesome news though! |
| No more Ichigo? I'm gonna keep watching the series! |
Klad said: Isn't this milking? It's a multimedia franchise aimed at little girls (and uncles) that encompasses games, toys, anime and music that relies on a constant stream of content delivery in order to keep the whole thing going so no not really. This isn't like your typical late night anime affair that has occasional seasons and the sole product is the anime disc itself, it's working on a much higher market level than the vast majority of anime (I think the projection was 12.1 billion yen for 2014 or close to 100 Million USD) so it needs a certain level of upkeep to stay strong. I forget the revenue level for it but last I check it makes more than Precure. |

I'm losing my faith in the anime industry :/ 20th Century Boys had 3 successful live-action movies. Also just because it's not you're type of series doesn't mean it can't be good. The world doesn't have to cater to your tastes. OT: is it required to be familiar with the TV series to watch this movie? |
| I hade the biggest the smile on my face when I read that news title, but the trailer kinda makes it seem like it's just going to be a bunch of random performances. I really hope that this is not the case. : / |
| They kind of announced it at the end of the first movie (after the credit roll it said they would make a second one, basically). But glad to have something more official, even though the trailer doesn't really reveal much.

vodall said: SuperRed said: OT: is it required to be familiar with the TV series to watch this movie? That depends on how it goes. For now, I'd say the best quick introduction is to watch the first movie, which will be released and subbed in a week or two. It's intended to be an epilogue of the first 100-ish episodes, so I'm guessing it'll be easy to follow for non-fans. Much appreciated answer, thank you. |
| Eh....idols huh. |
 |
| More aidoru katsudou and more Sumire is always a good thing. Aikatsu saving anime as always |
| More movie, more series, more drop. it is not will change anything. |

I'm losing my faith in the anime industry :/ The amount of ignorance in this post is off the charts. Grusomhed said: More material for my drop list. Why would you add a movie from a series you don't watch to your dropped list? How do you drop something you never started? |
| I haven't seen the first movie yet because there's an absence of subs for it, waiting for it to get subbed. Hope the new movie is more than just a recap or a random bundle of songs. It'd be a wasted opportunity! Still, I'm quite excited. |

St4nley said: Wait what... how making series aimed at little girls, which main goal is to sell toys, games and whatnot does stop industry from making any of above? That is kind of stupid.Geeez, So many good mangas without adaptations like Vinland Saga, 20th century boys, Vagabond, Oyasumi Punpun and many others but they still adapt those animes. I'm losing my faith in the anime industry :/ |
| I'm ok with them movie just as long as Ran/Ichigo and of course Aoi all get good amount of screen time. What does make me curious, is if the season 2 girls will be shown again. |

| The amount of prejudice in this thread against this show (from people who haven't seen it) is almost painful.

I'm losing my faith in the anime industry :/ Iirc, aikatsu is not even an adaptation of anything/is mostly anime-original despite having games or whatever, so that probably does not even really apply. |

I'm a bit biased but Aikatsu is one of the only shows I know that truly excels in showing what true idols are. It shows what idols do when they are not at school, they are mature enough to see each other as rivals when competing against each other yet still friends, and the dedication to their training these girls put is outstanding. |

| Guys. why not check it before judging or criticizing it. Right? ;) |

| Anime is a hobby for grown-ups. Why should little girls be allowed to even have anime like this movie, and spoil the enjoyment of grown men? |
