User blog comment:Staraptor Kwan/How much influence will the Shoujo genre have in the plotline of Aikatsu Stars?/@comment-28164211-20160409052924

I would say, based on my experience from Aikatsu, that I do hope that Aikatsu Stars has a deeper plot and not just those one-issue-per-episode kind of plot that Aikatsu (especially Seasons 3/4, but not every episode) offered. I'm not saying it's boring or bad, but it seems... off to have a new plot every episode. It's like the characters develop, but because the plot is renewed every episode, they have nothing much to show their development on.

As for romance, I think a little of it is fine, and by all means, producers, please do so. Don't just leave hints - go for the kill. I mean, it's not fun to see half-hearted romance in any series (by half-hearted, I mean that the producers leave hints, but don't fully develop it. IMHO, unless they are sub-characters or are not important to the plot, they should be focused and developed on).

So, generally, while I would like the series to remain as light-hearted as it was shown by its predecessor, I would like a little more of romance, and a heavier plot that lasts more than one or two episodes (a good example would be Season 2 of Aikatsu). But not as heavy as the second half of Aurora Dream, of course - that's a little overdoing.
