This anime usually gears to kids. As the time goes on, it goes less and less. Here is my review for Aikatsu. (I almost typed Aikatsu Stars)

Story:
Aikatsu is one of the anime that can be reference who is in the entertainment industry. As one watched longer, there are some quotes that everyone can find. It's a lesson that can be used to viewers as well. It showed how hard the work to be a top idol. Even it is a game adaptation (card adaptation), one must not deny that the way their doing can be a real life demonstration too.

Art:
As the story goes, the audition ... gets upgraded and updated. The graphic of the auditions are getting real every season. The first audition came from a 3d graphics of a video game. This was not a problem to viewers who started watching the first few weeks of Aikatsu. As time goes on, it had changed a little by little. Now, at the end of the Audition, the graphics of it is like Anime version but more. (can't explain this part properly) therefore, the art is good enough and doesn't need anymore revisions.

Sound:
OMG the music :) the jazz music of the endings. Keep up the good work. As for the OST's, for first and second season, i like the music of the preview. Even the OST's are good, it did not feel any premium melodies embedded to the ost. Therefore, no complaints here.

Character:
These section is the time I need to be strict. Even though every idol in Aikatsu already is 100% pass, the downside of idols, maybe most of them to be exact, is their seiyuu. This is the reason why my rating did not become a full 10 mark. It's because I felt betrayed 100 episodes after that some other person did the voice for something else. My advice for this is before one make one of this anime's Music became their fav, know the singer first. Better yet, know the Seiyuu of ones chara before concluding right away. This is where i got betrayed. I looked up to Ichigo because she sings very good, and then when i looked up the profile here in MAL, it turns out Sumire did not sing in the anime. I did not even know there are two seiyuus listed :/

Enjoyment:
Full of enjoyment. When it's Akari's arc, it's starting to get less and less. One does not change gears that quickly to adapt Akari as the main character and leave out the previous main charas. So, when one watched the movie of Ichigo, nostalgia kicks in. I still enjoy Akari's arc. So yeah.

Overall:
I would not say masterpiece, but the plot, the storyline, the lines are amazing. I am surprised that some episodes after audition, one can give a good quote that can be used in real life. This is one of the reasons that inspired me to keep watching

Aikatsu is very unique to begin with. Even it explains a little bit of how real life for idol industry works, cards are like the magic tools for each idol. I wish that Ichigo should've made another season in her story, but it still good in every way. Recommending is hard because it might get view as a kiddy girly anime.

Okay. First review.

The reason I write this review is because of how the OVA went. In either way, here are my thoughts:

Story:
Interesting? To be honest, it's hard to justify this anime's story. Whoever write this anime I think doesn't know how to make a good script. In fact, I don't think one single episode is enough to give some positive review.

Art:
To be honest, I think the art is old. There are some 3D scenes there, which is bad. Did this OVA got submitted and delayed after a few decades long?

... Sound:
I did not hear any music in background. if it has one, maybe I missed it. Even the sounds used in this OVA are not good, I'll give it a benefit of a doubt that the producer did not choose the right sounds properly.

Character:
Oh the cliches. The charas are . . . Boring.

Enjoyment:
Is there enjoyment here?

Overall:
Where do I start? This OVA is unpolished in every other aspect. I mean, did they even bother seeing a preview even just a little glimpse before submitting this to the masses? It felt like an essay that had not been revised and proofreaded

I've been having a hard time making this review. Watching the OVA left a lot of big question marks. Like how did this gets bad? How low can this be? I guess in the end, it left me a facepalm with a lot of confusion. Not recommended to watch btw.
