I really have to hand it to the writers for managing to improve upon the dismal showing that was called the Starlight-DreAca rivalry which happened over 3-4 years ago. I remember back then, they were trying to please everyone by having Ichigo and Seira compete against each other only for the result to be a draw. Then there was no hint of any malice or tension between both academies either.

Now it's quite different because the writers are putting in effort to portray an atmosphere of tension and bitterness between Venus Ark and Four Star Academy, while still maintaining the facade of an so-called friendly rivalry between the two institutions and their students. More importantly, the fact that Aikatsu finally has an antagonist in Elza and a lesser one in the form of Kirara goes to show how far the series has come in being more realistic and serious in nature. Won't you agree?
