Trailers Always Spoil: The impact of Rola's devastating loss to Elza and Elza being the only one to use the Sun Dress Coord is lost on the audience, given that advertisements for the game show that the whole main cast gets Sun Dress coords, showing that there can exist multiple copies at a time, and Hime has the truly unique Moon Dress, as you see obvious silhouettes of them in the outfit.

Darker and Edgier: Has hints of this throughout the series, with the headmaster's serious demeanor regarding idol talent and the greater determination among many of the idols aiming to become part of S4. Whenever it does get over the top however, the series has a habit of bringing it back down to Sugar Bowl territory.

Only Six Faces
 Aikatsu Stars! / int_18a84025
comment
Only Six Faces: Unlike the original series, Stars makes a good effort to keep idol faces individualized, even if it's a relatively minor difference like an extra eyelash between two characters with Tsurime Eyes, though still suffers from this as all idols have the same basic facial structure. Recurring adult background characters however all have a greater variety of face types.

comment
Gray-and-Grey Morality: While the series is still largely a Sugar Bowl, much of the little-known backstory and the ongoing Myth Arc is surprisingly dark, with an idol being forced into early and initially unhappy retirement, the current idols are meaner and more competitive, Headmaster Hikaru Moroboshi is a man with good intentions who uses questionable methods to get his desired results (and will personally throw out any student who fail to live up to his high expectations), and there are many secrets in regards to Yume's special abilities that both Hime and Morohoshi know much about but refuse to speak much about it.

Out of Focus: The Dance Class in general, with Yuzu getting the least amount of attention of S4, no first-year Dance Class main characters, and a lack of dance-related events. Yuzu, of all the new S4, is hardly explored in Season 2, with Rola pretty much taking her place despite being only an admin.

Everything's Better with Rainbows: The legendary aura is basically a giant quadruple rainbow. There are serious consequences for using it though... All revealed auras so far resemble rainbows to some degree, with many largely consisting of two perpendicularly-crossing arcs.

Meaningful Name: Many of the revealed characters have names matching their theme, usually color based or related to their aura. Yume Nijino's name for example contains "rainbow", alluding to her aura which consists of many rainbows, while pink-haired Rola Sakuraba's contains "sakura", a shade of pink.

comment
All Love Is Unrequited: Ako has a huge crush on Subaru, but unfortunately for her, he doesn’t have any interest in her. Subaru started developing a crush on Yume at the end of episode 37, but she isn't aware of it or interested in romance in general, and the lack of interaction between the two after season 1 definitely didn’t help. And of course there’s Asahi’s unrequited crush on Koharu.

Spell My Name with an S: Rola Sakuraba's name was thought to be 'Laura' and even 'Lola' before the series began. Even after the given romanization of 'Rola' was given, most fans have stuck with 'Laura'. Similarly, Headmaster Hikaru Moroboshi's surname was thought to be "Morohoshi," but the actual name is spoken as "Moroboshi." This is not helped that both "hoshi" and "boshi" share the same kanji.

Wham Episode: Episode 30. A major character leaves Four Star Academy, a performance goes completely awry, breaks down in tears over said departure... This episode is a helluva shocker. Episode 36: Yume is still too scared to perform live in fear she'll collapse again and the reveal that Rainbow Aura might destroy her singing voice forever makes it even worse for her. Fortunately, after a talk with Hotaru( Hikaru's older sister who did lose her voice and was forced to retire from showbusiness after using the rainbow aura one time too many ) and after seeing how many people believe in her and support her, she overcomes her fear of performing and gives a spectacular performance without using Rainbow Power. The headmaster (who is revealed as actually being a Jerk with a Heart of Gold but with VERY poor communication skills) states that Yume doesn't have to worry about losing her voice any more as she won't need the rainbow aura ever again.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Yume is shown to be lacking in most idol skills, yet can occasionally pull out a legendary idol aura if the stakes are high enough. After episode 36, she doesn't need the rainbow aura any more.

Informed Flaw: The first few episodes pointedly note that Yume lacks presence and talent, even though the only real difference between her performances and others' is her smaller aura. This tones down drastically after Yume activates the rainbow aura a second time.

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Season 2 reveals the S4 are these in the grand scheme of things. After Season 1 builds them up to be a powerful force in the school and in the idol world, and after Yume, Mahiru, and Ako get to become one of them, the Venus Ark shows up and all attention is blown away from them. This leads Yume to come aboard and learn what makes the Ark and its idols so much more impressive than the top of Four Star Academy.

The Ace: All S4 members are at the top of their respective classes, with Hime being notable for excelling at pretty much everything. Additionally, Rola, Ako, and Mahiru are at the tops of their classes for the first-years at the start of the series. Rola is dropped out of this once Yume starts becoming more capable of performing with her own true skill, though Rola's still quite competent.

comment
Science Fiction: The setting is fairly mundane, aside from the existence of chambers that get fed with cards with clothes on them to allow idols to perform on holographically generated stages that real and virtual audiences can watch from. These make up the Aikatsu System, which seems to have enough of a mind of its own that it grants certain girls a Dangerous Forbidden Technique in season 1 and distributes out disconnected wing accessories to girls deemed worthy in season 2.

Shout-Out: When Ako gets spotted on the Venus Ark, she gets caught by a sailor man with a suspicious resemblance to Popeye. One episode has the main Yotsuboshi girls do a parody of Sakanaction's "Shin Takarajima" music video. In the episode "Halloween Magic", there's a girl dressed as Cirno.

Improbable Age
 Aikatsu Stars! / int_d33456e7
comment
Improbable Age: The busy schedule of the best idols, particularly S4, has some Truth in Television in that real Japanese idols actually can have schedules that hectic. Even with this in mind though, the S4 members are often cooking food for their underclassmen/backstage helpers, giving advice to adults, leading their brand's concepts, and waking up at 4AM to jog before going on their work schedule. Hime's practically super-human with how busy she is. And these aren't even high-school aged girls, as the middle school ranges in age from 12 to 14, yet this age group is touted for being at the top of the idol world. Then season 2 introduces middle-school aged Elza, who runs an idol academy on a cruise ship and is apparently infamous for coaxing idols into enrolling at Venus Ark.

Training from Hell: Hime's training routine involves assuming a sitting position while drinking tea and smiling...without actually sitting on a chair. Another training had the idols wear thick winter coats in the middle of the summer with weights inside of them weighing 30kg total, which they had to run a marathon in.

Crossover: Various characters from the original series (namely Soleil, Luminas, and Tristar) are brought into the Stars! continuity for a two-episode special, in honor of the franchise's fifth anniversary . They are also noticeably drawn in the same style as the first anime series. The first episode focuses more on Akari's generation, while the second focuses more on Ichigo's.

Theme Naming

comment
Theme Naming: The classes at Four Stars Academy follow the theme of Kachou Fuugetsu (花鳥風月), which is appropriate, seeing how the Aikatsu series emphasizes girls to learn about and better themselves as individuals. Respectively, these classes are the Flower's Song (singing), Bird's Theater (acting), Wind's Dance (dancing), and Moon's Beauty (modeling). The Kasumi siblings Yozora, Asahi, and Mahiru's names mean "night sky", "morning sun", and "midday" (noon) respectively. As younger children, they also called each other by nicknames; Dinner, Morning, and Lunch.
