I watched tons of idol themed anime, and PriPara will hold a very special place in my heart after finishing it. While the show/theme is aimed at a younger audience of girls, this anime shows genius jokes. I myself don't perfectly speak Japanese, but I do understand enough to watch this show without subtitles. The show doesn't take itself completely serious, and this is what makes it that great! I for myself love the plot with the main theme of 'friendship', the cute style and the incredible characters. The music might be repetitive to some people, but I loved listening to the great songs on the end of every episode, as it made me so happy. This anime is something to relax and have fun, seriously. I wish more people would acknowledge these kinds of shows, as they deserve a lot of praise! (Not a quite objective review, but you don't need 7 different summaries anyway) ~pushuu

This idol anime has a very good story and its story focuses on a goal, character development (character story) and some random activities. Unlike Aikatsu series, there isn't as much "random activities". I really enjoy the story. The whole goal is to become a Kami Idol or a Divine Idol (Kami means god) The art is very neat and the colors are really good. Their 3D is also pretty impressive and if you guys watched the first season of Aikatsu, you will know that their 3D was not the best. The 3D in Pripara looks totally different from 1st season Aikatsu. The music is one of my favorite. I tend to sing along to every performance there is. There aren't as many recycled performances and even if the songs repeat, they normally have new outfits. My personal favorite songs are Make it!, 0-week-old, Marble Makeup A-Ha-Ha, Ready Smile! and some more (I can't say them all. There are so many songs) Each character in this anime, every character has something unique about them. All the characters have an interesting design to their art/outfit and they often have a backstory which makes them more interesting. Sometimes, if you don't like the character, you immediately fall in love with them after their backstory. My personal favorite characters are Laala (Lala), Falulu, Jululu, Shion, Unicorn, Usacha, and Sophie (Sofi) Overall, I would give this an 8/10 :)
