Talk:List of Aikatsu on Parade! Episodes/@comment-33378348-20200711223257/@comment-3487190-20200714033916

I think the issue here is that the Parade series was announced and advertised to be a regular season like all past season do, however the outcome shows that both the anime and arcade game are just made up by throwbacks, which kinda ruins the expectation. Like, it would be abit like cheating back when BANDAI announced it.

The Dream Story episodes might not please everyone, but I think there is some kind of weird inspiration. If BANDAI could not really afford a whole season of new contents, or they just want to keep budget for next series, what if Raki's story was just special episodes as well? If it only did probably six or twelve episodes like how they deal with Dream Story now, maybe people would not had a diffucult time with the low quality of anime.

Money and budget are realistic matters, I so it's hard to blame on BANDAI if they cannnot give more. Just it feels like they didn't go with the smartest options to satisfy fans with very limited budget. (Raki the lucky heroine got four premium dresses and one BFR despite how restrictive the budget is)
