Akari's "wow" is perfection, but so are the duo's new dresses. The cinematography of the performances continues to amaze me.

As for the next episode:

I don't like this unit at all. There's no contrast like the others.

These units are too plain that feels like it was compiled "just because".
The jalapeno duo is pretty legit good though

I can't stop laughing.

"Well, the rest of them made units, so we need to get these two together, as well."

Akari: "Wait, am I the main character again, or is it Madoka?"

Madoka: "Skips? Akari, that name is awful, what is your problem?" (I wish)

Sena: "We didn't have time to make an episode out of these dresses and bracelets, so just take them and use them now."

Sky Symphony was good, why didn't they just use that?

Skips as a name is a lot better than Passion Jalapeno and Dancing Diva to say the least! Akari again showing signs of elegance and ladylike brilliance, so hopefully she'll break through and cement her position as THE idol to look out for. Things have been getting a bit sidetracked as of late, and I'm not sure the inclusion of yet another transfer student is good for the cause. The current units need to be set in motion against one another for everything to gain significance. It's just all too straightforward and easygoing at the moment.

Wow the pink one sure is full of herself. l'm going to look up disparaging doujins of her to knock her down a peg.

better than Passion Jalapeno but that wasn't hard thing to do, not as good as Dancing Diva's episodes - mostly because Akari is her usual rather bland self, so good there is Madoka too.

she really felt like driving force behind it and it's nice, no one said only elders have to make decision. once again we've had episode with her showing determination in reaching goals, whatever it takes ;)

also why did they show guy who is inside that... whatever that thing is?

next episode new idol - might be fun, or at least something new from unit forming part we had so far.

there are doujins for Aikatsu on the net? (translated ones?)

As for the unit... so pinky, LOL

tho they DO look Cute enough to balance any other negatives.

And Akari being competent... reminds me of Ichigo, how I miss her.

As a unit they're so adorable together, but yeah there's definitely no contrast unlike other units like Dancing Diva, but oh well. I can imagine a huge tournament featuring all the units battling against each other for a prize or something. Excited to see what the new characters like! And a 2nd movie was just announced for Aikatsu, not too sure if I can post links on here but heres where i read it from:

I totally liked Sky Symphony. It had that elegant name to it but skips sounds catchy imo. MadoPika wasn't a bad name either.

Lol at Hinaki and Juri eating spicy donuts.

They formed a unit in a straightforward way, or at least Madoka's request was blunt. I sense a big units tournament in the future. The winner sharing statue next to Masquerade.

I like how blunt Madoka is...lol.

But this episode was really contrived? Sena showing up and handing over a unit dress was out of nowhere, and then the special Aikatsu bracelets (which they weren't actually wearing during the performance lol) were too much. I mean...I assume they are trying to sell those to kids in real life so they threw a scene into the anime but idk.

The episode felt really forced, but I don't dislike the unit in general. I just think the episode was pretty poorly structured.

And time flies I suppose, but even though Hinaki/Juri/Sumire/Akari are all senpai now and are "amazing" I still feel we haven't gotten there yet?

I'm ok with this ep, but they do have a lot in common ))) I have only 1 question: where did the bracelets disappear right after their transformation and they didn't came back, poor Sena-san's efforts were in vain

Remember back to when Akari couldn't even do a special appeal and thought that she could never become an idol and Ichigo choosing her was a mistake? Look at her now, shining so much! I'm so happy for her, I hope her unit with Madoka becomes a success.

Also... yep, jalapeño donuts definitely don't look like a good combination.

Skip to a new world full of cuteness. From the ne w gen, we got cool, hot and at last fluffy unit. I felt like they also slowly maturing and ready to take on much greater height when forming a much bigger unit later on. Looks like Madoka starts to admiring Akari senpai and Akari also develop by drawing influence from her friends. And also I felt like Sena-san is a little too nice for handing out another coords specially created for the new unit, hmmm...
