As much as it pains me to say this let's not forget that money and marketing is actually the biggest factor as to why the aikatsu franchise keeps going forward. It's actually even maybe the reason why aikatsu was created in the first place! The anime is mostly here to promote the game so that kids buy all the merchandise and cards, nowadays animes get like... what? 12 episodes? Maybe a 2nd season if the dvds sell well?

What aikatsu needs is money, the company behind it needs it for the series and the people working on it for going onward. Most of the things they do is for this, it just so happend that they have a big fanbase in Japan because they know what they're doing with a vast cast of colorful characters, fancy clothes and awesome songs.

Also since Futaba didn't even appear yet, i think we should try to stay optimistic, or at least neutral. This way if it turns out bad we won't be too sad and if she turns out great then good for them, right? (I mean bandai.)
