Its story is set in Aikatsu Planet, a world where everyone can become cute idols using an avatar. While spending school life, the main characters are aiming to become top idols. Everyday parts such as the main character's school life will be filmed in live-action and the Aikatsu Planet! world will be drawn in anime and 3DCG (like the previous series). The live-action part's cast members will form a unit "STARRY PLANET*" and perform as idols at events and on YouTube. A new Data Carddass game linked to the TV series, "Data Carddass Aikatsu Planet!" is also scheduled to begin its service this winter. The show follows an ordinary girl Mao Otoha who goes to Seirei High School. One day, she happens to begin her activity as the top idol Hana in Aikatsu Planet, in place of Meisa Hinata, who suddenly disappeared. But Mao has to keep the secret that now she is using the avatar of Hana. The Aikatsu Planet! idols can dress up in fashionable and cute dresses by using the item Swing, which is inhabited by the dress fairy Dresia. Mao, who has become Hana, uses the Swing to fight against her rivals in the exciting battle stages. (Source: Crunchyroll) Edit Translation

Reviews
Beautiful Blend of Animation and Live Action
I'll warn you in advance that Aikatsu Planet is definitely a show for people who already like idol media. As someone who's spent six years of their life deeply embedded in idol culture, this show was a breath of fresh air. Both live action and animated segments blend beautifully. It always makes narrative sense when the girls are in the Aikatsu world, so the transition isn't jarring. I'm always a sucker for the cheesy idol friendship moments and this show has those in spades, but they never come off as cringey. 25 episodes is the perfect length of time to connect with the characters. No main character is left unexplored. The show also addresses a lot of modern issues with the vtuber community. There are benefits and drawbacks to anonymity. I appreciate the show's willingness to be honest about how a double life can impact someone, especially a child, even if it does simplify the issue for it's child audience. The music is the most important part of a show like this, though, and they NAILED IT. This is the first time I've downloaded an idol soundtrack while the show was still airing. If you're an idol fan, please consider watching. The animated segments may confuse you at first, but this show is completely worth your time.
