Zeta-Astacion said: Does that mean Aikatsu anime will end and it's time slot will be replaced with Aikatsu Stars!? I don't believe so. Aikatsu!'s slot is 18:30, and Aikatsu Stars! is 18:25. There's no indication that Aikatsu! is ending, so the latter may end up being short episodes. Edit: Aikatsu Stars! is also scheduled for the same time slot as Aikatsu! on BS Japan (Mondays at 5:00 p.m.), so it replacing the former series is possible. I've updated the article to make it more ambiguous. |

| If Aikatsu is completely replaced.. that means it got cancelled and didn't end its run. Season four will end much shorter than the rest and the entire story won't finish. TBH, it stuns me to cancel Aikatsu with a movie due this Summer. |

Max said: Kagami_Hiiragi said: If Aikatsu is completely replaced.. that means it got cancelled and didn't end its run. Aikatsu switched to 2-cour runs in the fall, so this will complete it. That's true, though I still feel like its getting cancelled over finishing. Especially since a movie of Aikatsu is due Summer 2016 with Akari and friends. If it wasn't cancelled and gets a convincing ending, I still won't be satisfied. |
|
| Maybe I'll give this a try, Yume looks adorable, I'll have to face the CG dancing eventually, I need to listen to my melting-prone heart instead of my brain that's telling me CG is bad and wrong in idol anime. |

I've updated the article to make it more ambiguous. It seems a little too idealistic to think this would be a short anime airing before Aikatsu, with the latter series continuing on. The game system in arcades is changing to Aikatsu Stars, and the anime was based on the game system to begin with. And it is hard for me to believe they would release a feature film about a short series, while the main series is still running alongside it. Though I realize that the article is just based on the news available haha. |

| So Aikatsu it's finally gonna end huh. I wish I watched the series from the beginning... @gisselle I bet you'll be happy with this. |
| i'll definitely watch this to crave my liking for Aikatsu :) |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| I find it strange that they're cutting season 4 short by half a year, it's quite a shame. Was looking forward to 200+ episodes :( In any case, I'll watch Aikatsu Stars!, but not right away. I was already thinking of putting Aikatsu! on on-hold for a while, I still enjoy the show but I haven't gotten into it as much as I used to. |
| I'm absolutely devastated. Aikatsu means so much to me I'm crushed that its going to end. I could have watched it for 1000's of episodes and I had so many hopes for it. I don't feel ready at all for this show to end, and I don't feel ready to leave Starlight and Dream Academy, its like moving away from my best friends. That being said, I will definitely watch Aikatsu Stars, I am committed to Aikatsu and if in the long run it means more from this world than there would have been, I can only be happy about that. RIP Aikatsu, and thanks for the memories. |
| @Palea i'm already also in my deppest memories of this Aikatsu and the fave characters that we all love will be our forever comrades and also RIP to the current series and welcome the new one :3 |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| Looks too moe for Aikatsu, I wonder what happened... |
| the timing for this is so bad and confusing but i'm still really excited!! i do wish aikatsu would get a proper final season/ending but i also feel grateful that we even got as much as we did. plus we still have photokatsu! |

|
| i'm so mad, how could they just abruptly end OG aikatsu like that also character designs for aikatsu stars is...ugly |
| well sales dropped a lot (in 3Q of 2014 it had 9 billion yen, in 3Q 2015 it was 3.5) so no wonder Bandai decided to do something with it. I like idea of new school and it would be better if they went Precure route - each season something different (like different place, to start with). maybe from time to time crossover competition. Aikatsu was fine at first but it started to feel like they are just repeating stuff, just with way weaker characters - Sumire was great but Akari as main character was just meh. |
| I was expecting it to reach 200 episodes (poor Nono and Risa), but I guess they're just going to finish the Starlight Queen Cup and wrap it up thereafter. It is a little bittersweet; I still love the show, but it's never been as good as the first season was. I'll always miss Ichigo. Anyway, I'll give Aikatsu Stars! a shot. Maybe the reboot will ultimately be for the better. |

Yeah, a single idol anime is not meant to have 100-200 episodes. This needs around 50-60. |

| Who knew that an idol show could last this long? |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |

Hoppy said: I'm not sure - Aikatsu is strange one: they are trying to make stuff more grounded in reality (to some extent of course - as pointed young idols wouldn't be taking part in planing an event) there is limited amount of things they could do here. Somehow I think they were surprised by success of it: which lead to some weird decisions - DreAca was fine idea which was very poorly executed. And they went back to what worked earlier... with rather poor results.Yeah, a single idol anime is not meant to have 100-200 episodes. This needs around 50-60. Still I can imagine something like PriPara going for 100-200 episodes. Setting is crazy to begin with so if they decide to put aliens, time travel or whatever wouldn't be so weird. |
oliviette said: ugly huh? we will see about that but for me i'll give this a try and a chance! since i'm also addicted to Aikatsu :)i'm so mad, how could they just abruptly end OG aikatsu like that also character designs for aikatsu stars is...ugly |
