User blog:FanaticAnime/Idol Auras Cont. (Part Seven)

Hey, Everyone!

It's Fanatic, and I'm back with another blog on the auras that we've seen so far in season two of Aikatsu! Stars.



I'll be starting with Elza Forte's aura.

Upon activating her aura, there is a large explosion of magenta teacup roses, their petals, gold and white sparkles, and indivual rings of blue and white pearls.

Elza is surrounded by a lavender glow, along with golden glitter. Rings of blue pearls that turn white before they disappear surround her body, while magenta teacup roses that break into loose petals accompany them.



Next is Yume and Laura​'s Unit Aura.

Both idols are covered in a glow fitting their idol type. Yume's being pink, and Laura's being blue. Glitter in those two colors surrounds them as well.

One arch is from Laura's respective aura, which is made of a blue music trail with gold musical notes. Yume's arch is made of various sized blue spheres, with yellow, pink and blue daisies along with small, white sparkles. Large, translucent pink circles can be seen beneath both idols.



Then, we have Lilie​'s long awaited Progression Aura.

When activated, ​Lilie​'s​ aura consists of blue flames and golden birdcage-like chandeliers that form a circle around her body. It also includes light green sparkles or balls of light that floats all around her, and she is surrounded with an ice blue glow.



And last, but not least, we have Kirara Hanazono​'s aura.

Upon activating her aura, there is a rainbow that spirals around her body, followed by an explosion of multi-colored glitter, stars and crescent moons.

Kirara is surrounded by a pale yellow glow, along with pink glitter. Translucent pink spheres, rainbow gradient stars and crescent moons can also be seen floating around as they fade away. Blue clouds with white diagonal stripe and polka dot designs form a circle around her body. In addition to the clouds are two, translucent rainbow arches.

Moving onto my opinion on each aura.

Starting with Elza. The appearance of her aura surprised me. I mean, I understand that she's considered a perfect idol, but I didn't expect it to appear in a large explosion like a Progression Aura. The lavender glow surrounding her body suits her as a Sexy type. Especially since it looks like a lighter shade of violet, or purple. I discovered that her image color was gold after someone posted her character images to the Wiki, but her glow being lavender is fine. Although, I did notice the gold glitter in her aura, so there's nothing for me to complain about. I like how the rings of blue pearls flow outwards and change from blue to white. I also like how the teacup roses break into loose petals as they accompany the pearls. I had to look back at performances from the original series to see if anyone's aura was like hers, and I'd say that it's somewhat similar to Ichigo's aura in season one, where she has primroses and bubbles in pink and blue. They're just arranged differently from how Elza's teacup roses and pearls are.

I know that I've already talked about, as well as gave my opinion on Yume and Laura​'s Unit Aura, but I thought to include it in this blog since it appeared for the first time in the anime. Like I said before, I like that Laura​'s music trail is part of the aura because it represents her love for music. The music trail being in a shade of blue makes me like it a lot, and it definitely suits Laura as a Cool type. I really like the music notes on it. Especially them being golden. In a way, the golden music notes give you an idea of what her status will be as she continues her idol career.

I was confused after seeing the arch that represented Yume, but it took me a while to see why hers' had multi colored daisies. It turned out that there are daisies in Yume​'s regular aura. It was hard to tell because of the brightness that was in her aura through the first fifteen episode, but I'm sure some viewers noticed them after the details of the auras became more visible. The blue spheres look good! Although, I still feel that some, or all of them could've been pink. I say that because it would've been nice to see more of Yume​'s image color in their aura. In all, I still like their aura, as well as think that it's a great representation of Yume and Laura​'s friendship. I just wonder what it would've been like if they formed a unit, outside of competing to be in S4. They already have the song, dresses and unit aura, but are missing a name. What would their unit name be?

I know everyone was excited to finally see Lilie get a Progression Aura. Especially after discovering that she's second best after Hime, as well as assuming she'd have one since debuting. I thought it' be interesting if she did, but after revealing that Lilie has a weak condition, I didn't think she'd be able to handle the strange power.

Moving on... I like that her Progression Aura has chandeliers that look like birdcages. They're a great representation of her backstory and added a nice touch. I also like that they're golden, though I thought they were silver. Then, we have the blue flames, which recieved mixed reviews. I described the flames as a way of showing Lilie​'s growth. Meaning that she's learned to rely on her peers more often, instead of always having to do things on her own. Including being more open to them when it comes to expressing her feelings. Some did agree with that, but felt that the flames didn't go with her personality and characteristics, and I have to agree. Viewers thought that her PA should've had snowflakes, Especially since the emblem on her Star Premium Accesory Card is of a snowflake. I just wondered how the animators would've incorporated them. In all, I think that the chandeliers and flames forming a circle around her looks really good! Definitely an aura that's worthy of a Cool type.

I really liked how Kirara​'s aura appeared during her performance. The rainbow spiraling around her was something different, but also very unique. The explosion of multi-colored stars and crescent moons looked good. I guess you could that say that they gave off a feeling of Pop(?). I mean, we'd see multi-colored shapes on the stage and its effects, as well as in the Special Appeals when ever there's a Pop type performance. The pale yellow glow surrounding her body looks good. Her image color is lavendar, but I think pale yellow is fine. Especially since its in a shade that could represent Pop types. The translucent pink spheres, and rainbow gradient stars and crescent moons all look good. The rainbw gradient stars and crescent moons remind you of what we see in Yume​'s Progression Aura, with her having only having the rainbow gradient stars forming a circle around her. The blue pillow-like clouds look really nice. You can see that they go along with the theme of the stage and brand, Fuwa Fuwa Dream. The white diagonal stripes and polka dot designs on the clouds look good also. That's another feeling of Pop, which adds a nice touch to them. The two rainbow arches connected to some of the clouds were a perfect addition to Kirara​'s aura. I'm not sure how rainbows fit in with Fuwa Fuwa Dream's theme, but I had to remember that an idol's aura doesn't represent a brand of clothing. It represents an idol's personality, and the rainbows certainly represent Kirara as a Pop type. Like I said with Lilie​'s, I think the clouds with the rainbow arches look good as the form a circle around Kirara.

After season two aired, some wondered if the auras that Laura and Mahiru gained during the S4 Selection  would replace their regular auras. I personally feel that they shouldn't because the auras in Stars work differently, as opposed to those in the original series. From what I learned about them while watching the origimal series, the appearance of an aura depends on the idol's feelings, growth, and rarity of clothing. Those attributes can cause an aura to change shape, as well as have more objects and effects added to them. The auras in Stars ​work similar to that, but I feel have the upper hand. The auras in Stars can benefit from the Aikatsu System choosing those who have the potential to become amazing idols. That, and idol's being highly skilled and immensly focused, could explain the appearance of a Progression Aura in mid performance. I like them because they add a little more excitement to the performances. I was shocked when I saw Hime and Yume's during their performances in episode one, and they've kept me on my toes ever since. I understand that PAs come with consequences, such as memory loss (from it appearing the very first time), faint/collapse, and cause an idol to lose their abulity to sing for short periods of time, or permanently. That may not sound good, but an idol can overcome all of that by remaining confident and having a positive support system.

Well, that's all I have to say about the auras in today's blog. Feel free to leave a comment, expressing your opinion on the auras we've seen so far, as well as saying which one is your favorite.

Have a good day, evening and night!
