Talk:Episode 125 - The Other Side of Admiration/@comment-3487190-20150320173442

I know the following comment would offense some of the Aikatsu fans, but I think I have to be honest because I love this show.

I dislike Soleil and I'm happy they're gone.

Don't mistake me. I sure love Ichigo, Aoi and Ran, but by individual. I think Bandai ruined the whole thing by how this team united. When Ran joined Tristar and Ichigo had to ind her own teammate, she has so many other friends and didn't really need Ran to give up her own chance. With that said, the earlier episodes didn't clearly tell why the trio have deeper bonds than they have with others (Otome, Yurika and Sakura). If being classmates is the only reason, then Yuu can simply refute this. She's a classmate and roomate (at first) of Akari just like Aoi to Ichigo, but she doesn't get good treats from BANDAI obviously.

In Powawa Purin's case, well, the birth of the team was unnatural too, but at least the team ensures the appearances of the three members to have the minimum appearances in season two.

Now the next generation seem to want to make the same history. Let's put Yuu aside, what's Juri's role in this show and this episode? Why obviously abandon her in these episodes when the plot wants to hint on the succession of team spirit? Just because "trio" is an uncodified rule that everyone has to follow?

If BANDAI's strategy is to make fans unhappy about the cartoon and go to the arcade game to make their ideal teams, then I can say, BANDAI you win! But it shouldn't be how it works. I want Soleil, Akari's partners and other teams to deserve all the supports rather than just confusing audience from the beginning.
