Yeah, and it hurts. They somewhat lied to us when they said that straight from the get-go, there would be all-out war between the two rival idol academies, and for a while it actually looked like it might go that way. Then all of a sudden at the end of Ako's and Kirara's first meeting, everyone suddenly thinks that it's a good idea for Yume and co to go on a "study trip" on board Venus Ark because...reasons!

Sure, maybe the writers were trying to be original by having Yume and co board Venus Ark so they could observe how they did Aikatsu their own way and show their actions to us viewers, and while that might have worked for the first few episodes, it's gotten to the point where I feel like them staying on board is just a absolute bloody waste of time. Even worse, they 've spent more time wearing Venus Ark uniforms than their S4 uniforms (and in the case of Laura, her totally chill admin uniform) in this season so far. To be honest, I get this dark feeling that they aren't leaving until the half-way point of the series, which seriously sucks, even in my opinion. Also, how is Four Star Academy coping with the temporary loss of half of their current S4 and their student council's vice-president?

I mean, while I'm pretty sure that the Song Class is curently doing okay thanks to Yuri's and Lily's sound guidance, I daresay I cannot think that the Beauty Class is coping that well. Let's be real here; the Beauty Class is seriously disadvantaged here when it comes to having capable people in charge. With Yozora gone, no Mahiru in sight and since Koharu had already left, the only person left in charge is Kokoro aka the magician girl who finished behind the former two in the S4 selection and as such is the most senior person in charge (whether she became a admin or not is up for debate). And why do I say so? Wel, one funny thing that I've discovered about the Beauty Class is that their admins are literally almost non-existent compared to the other classes. Flower Song had Yuri and Lily, Bird Theater had Arisa and Wind Dance had Miki (graduated) and Saya. Where are the Beauty Class admins? Either way, I think that class is lacking in the leadership department as of this moment, and that sucks, because I wanted to see Mahiru bossing around her kouhai like Yume did in Episode 52.
