User blog comment:StrangelySmartGirl/Hopes for Aikatsu Friends and comparing AiSta with AiFu + "theories"/@comment-34297502-20180213194655

I don't know how but everything you said just basically resonated what I was thinking overall at the moment! I really agree with you on the brand part, I miss how the idols had to do grueling tasks and really prove they were ready to inherit the brands. Not to say that the idols in AiSta didn't work hard to inherit the brands, but it always felt weird to me when they would get the brands by a competition or because the creator/original muse felt they reflected the brand on a whole (I do respect the fact that Mahiru was designing dresses for RK even before she inherited it though). I too don't really like the way Karen looks like Hime, but I hope she is different personality wise from Hime.
