A decent first episode to start off, surprisingly a few more materials than the original Aikatsu. And i will try not to compare Stars! to the original one.
The art style are similar to Aikatsu, but characters in Stars! seems to be cuter/ a little but childlike and cooler. A clear personality can be seen in many characters showed, especially Laura Sakuraba. They even showed a few more teachers and the headmaster is a male. Saw one very cool female teacher beside the male with a fan during the 1st year audition. And the genre of the homeroom teacher this time is rock huh. S4 is indeed a cool group, different personalities again. Like the blue hair girl, second favourite the orange twin-tail. The dancing part is a little bit different and a bit repeatitive. But it fit perfectly when MC dance at the audition. Still need more episodes to see more variation/combination of dance to decide. The school base look more smaller in a wide rural places. What shocked me was there is a boys department, seeing the MC meeting a boy, incoming romance? Aikatsu system is different also, jumping instead of walking in the system huh. The MC had a blast in the audition and praised by many, but she didn't have recollection during the dance, most likely luck and reflection or nervous lol. Like the original Aikatsu, she caught the attention of the one she admired, expected for the plot to proceed forward. Like the ed btw, S4 very cool. Rather than aphorism and diary in original Aikatsu, a news corner in Stars! refresing i guess? A new legendary has begun?

I know this show is aimed at nine-year-olds, but I enjoyed the first episode a lot. All the emotional triggers worked for me. Her waking up and seeing her heroine right in front of her was great. The look was good (sparkles and all), the 3DCG dancing seemed maybe a bit better than the original series -- I last watched much of this show years ago -- and the little-known seiyuus made their characters work.
I think there may be more to Yume's mini-amnesia than just nervousness. Is magic afoot?

Episode 2
Interesting to see will there really be romance or not, op is hinting in a weird way. Because i have watched orignal Aikatsu, so i'm the type to think no romance in Aikatsu, thats the rule!! Will Aikatsu Stars! change the rule? As i said in previous episodes, this new series seems to have more contents than the original and more colourful also.Thats why it was interesting to see the 4 different classes system. Of course i won't say its good or bad, still need more episodes to judge. I believe Yume's hidden talent will be crazy, just like Ichigo. Still, Yume is hardworking at the same time, so no problem. Laura has very good personality, her expression is very good also, cute to see Laura helping Yume in the mid episode. She will definately be the number 1 rival for Yume. The S4 team is cool as always btw. Hahaha Really the headmaster sure is a bit dark, saying something like making Yume stop aikatsu if she is not suitable, thats harsh. It make you feel like some dark plot going around~
