User blog comment:Chrismh/Your Choice for Protagonist?/@comment-26426093-20170220070456

Ashida Yuri would make for a good protagonist, hands down. One of my biggest criticisms of the series is that the creators have always introduced many interesting characters who have potential if their stories were expanded upon, only for the MC and her entourage to hog all the spotlight in the process.

Yuri is no exception; to be fair, while she has received a reasonable amount of coverage as the most characterized admin (sans Lily), she hasn't recieved the holy grail treatment by the writers-and by holy grail I mean a fully animated 3D performance on stage. What I would rather prefer is that the writers should develop a whole new story-a prequel to the events of the 1st season of Aikatsu Stars, back when Yume and co hadn't even attended Yotsuboshi Gakuen. Interacting with the other cast members like Hime and Tsubasa before they became S4 members and seeing those interactions from Yuri's perspective would make for a very engaging experience.
